I liked this at first, but I’m now questioning it. Why is the Punisher being involved in a show “where we will see the lighter side of Daredevil”. Im worried. Phase 4 has me shook.

However, fans are happy with Punisher appearing in the show alongside Daredevil. But they are still questioning it as Disney will portray a lighter side of Daredevil, which might not sit well with Punisher tagging along.Many even pointed out that the series has a total of 18 episodes, so why can’t they have both of them in it?
