A Fan Theory.

Dinah Madani with John Pilgrim behind her.

I have a fan theory about what Marvel’s The Punisher Season 2 will be all about. It has to do with John Pilgrim (Josh Stewart), a man who became deeply religious to conceal a violent nature he has within him. My theory is that John Pilgrim is loosely based on The Mennonite from Punisher Max. He was a hitman working for the Schultz Crime Family until he manages to find religion and broke away from the family. But a young girl named Amy Bendrix (Giorgia Whigham) came along and stuck her nose into the Schultzs‘ business which she wasn’t supposed to do apparently. And that set off alarm bells that prompted the crime family to send John out to destroy her. They’ll even send out big-tall Vory (Robbie DeRaffele), their personal bodyguard loosely based on The Russian, to destroy Punisher (Jon Bernthal) when they found out that Frank is targeting them once he learned of Amy’s plight and agrees to help her. So now Frank will have to travel back to New York and destroy Vory, John, and the whole Schultz Crime Family to save Amy and her father.

Once Frank arrives in Brooklyn, Curtis Hoyle (Jason R. Moore) will be there to give him an old beat-up trailer with bullet-ridden door to hideout in. The beat-up trailer is located in a junkyard. It was once owned by Curt before he gave it to Frank to use as his home. In it, Frank will spend a lot of time eating canned food, reading books, playing guitar, and at least trying to get a good night sleep without having recurring nightmares over and over again just as he did in Season 1.

I can’t wait to see what the old-beat up trailer is like. Probably it’ll look like what you see in trailer parks. Simple, small trailer homes that can house one or two persons inside like this.

Or this.

Maybe this.

Or this..

..and this.

To really see what the beat-up trailer looks like, we’ll just have to wait until Punisher Season 2 premieres on Netflix sometime in January. Then, pray that Netflix keeps Punisher and renews it for Season 3!

About the author

Why does The Punisher play the harp?

It’s easy to imagine The Punisher shooting up criminal hideouts and blowing off the heads of thugs and mob bosses as the ultimate punishment for their crimes. But it’s hard to imagine (and believe) that there is also very gentle side to The Punisher no one knows about except for The Defenders (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist), Microchip (aka David Linus Liberman), and Spider-man (aka Peter Parker) who actually saw and became amazed at him doing something no one has ever thought he could do with his violent hands– play the harp. A gentle stringed musical instrument no one could ever believe that The Punisher would have such talent and ability to use his otherwise destructive hands to gently and tenderly pluck and caress its strings.

Indeed, it’s very hard to imagine and believe that the Punisher’s violent hands that brake bones, strangle necks, and punch out guts are the very same hands that softly and tenderly pluck, caress, and gracefully sweep across the strings of the harp.

Why does he do it, you asked? Because Frank is doing this in memory of his family whom he communes with through songs, poems, and prayers as he gracefully wave his battle-scarred arms and hands across the strings to fill his private family shrine with harp music that moves The Punisher to joyful tears.

Where did the Idea of The Punisher and his Harp come from?

It’s a concept I, Sherry Konkus made up myself. It combines my new found obsession with The Punisher that I had since 2014 and my life long love for the harp. It is the very best concept I ever made. This is my version of The Punisher from Marvel Comics who is portrayed by me as the punishing harpist who plays the harp in memory of his late family who got killed by a criminal mob years ago and whenever he needs a break from waging a one man war against organized crime.

The Punisher was created by Gerry Conway with the help of artists John Romita, Sr. and Ross Andru. His name coined by Stan Lee. The Punisher is owned and trademarked by MARVEL.

The idea, concept, and inspiration behind The Punisher’s portrayal as The Punishing Harpist who plays the harp in memory of his family is in fact my own. Sweetest. Idea. Ever.
