Redditors ask if The Punisher could beat John Wick and it\u2019s not even close Lionsgate | Marvel StudiosReddit is having a debate over whether The Punisher could kill John Wick, but it\u2019s not even a close debate as fans point out The Punisher\u2019s jaw-dropping killing streak. Pitting pop culture characters against each other is no new thing. The desire to see how two favorites would fare when fighting each other is how we wound up with things like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Marvel\u2019s Civil War event. Social media has only fueled this fire. It\u2019s easier than ever for fans to come up with the wildest dream matches and argue who would win and how. Now a debate picking up steam on Reddit is highlighting one such fight, as fans debate who would win in the ultimate shootout showdown: Marvel\u2019s The Punisher or Keanu Reeves\u2019 iconic assassin, John Wick. Redditors declare The Punisher would absolutely destroy John Wick The debate may be biased, given it takes place in a post on The Punisher subreddit, where fans discuss the character across comics, games, the Netflix series, & more. But even among those Redditors, there\u2019s some fairly sound logic to explain why a master assassin like John Wick stands absolutely no chance against The Punisher. \u201cFrank fought billy russo amd John pilgrim + a lot of trained cia operators,\u201d one Redditor says. \u201cTo say John wick wins is crazy. And as the other guy said the punisher also got the drop on the guy with super hearing who shoulda sensed him drawing his backup pistol\u201d \u201cTv show punisher probably looses but comic frank would eat John alive\u201d another added, highlighting the contrast between the live-action and comic book versions of the character. For most, that seems to be the deciding factor: which version of Punisher is doing the fighting. Many are in agreement the Netflix Punisher (who appears to now be canon to the MCU as of Echo) would be evenly matched with Wick, but the version appearing in Marvel Comics would steamroll him. \u201cI like John Wick\u2026 but Frank\u2019s kicked the shit out of the avengers\u2026 sorry John,\u201d another Redditor added, referencing the various stories where Punisher had run-ins with Earth\u2019s Mightiest Heroes and walked away. \u201cWick would kill Netflix Punisher as his feats, skills, are better portrayed honestly. Wick would also kill 89\u2032 Punisher & 04 Punisher,\u201d one Redditor said, summing up the various versions of Punisher for the brawl. \u201c08 Punisher would absolutely murder Wick. Wick may have killed a guy with a Pencil\u2026 but Frank Caved in a guy\u2019s skull! Comic Punisher 616 would kill Wick and pretty much the entire continental without prep. MAX Punisher wins after a long battle and probably several gunshots later\u2026 old age catches up with Frank.\u201d Still, not everyone is so quick to give the easy win to The Punisher. Many drew attention to Wick\u2019s more surgical combat skills in comparison to The Punisher\u2019s, as well as Wick\u2019s apparent plot armor based on his last few film appearances. \u201cjohn wick fought multiple highly trained assassins, Ninjas, samurai, the high table AND fully impenetrably armored soldiers both in new york and japan Mostly with a weak ass pistol. He\u2019s also killed a whole russian mob. I like punisher but wick WOULD win if they dont kill each other at the same time.\u201d one Redditor pointed out. \u201cLong range fight \u2013 Frank wins. Close up fight \u2013 John wins,\u201d one Redditor finally concedes. \u201cFrank is better with guns, but John is better at fighting\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
