BTW side note...the famous Shakespeare quote uses the archaic past tense "hoist"
"Hoist with his own petard" is a phrase from a speech in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet that has become proverbial. The phrase's meaning is that a bomb-maker is lifted ("hoist") off the ground with his own bomb (a "petard" is a small explosive device), and indicates an ironic reversal, or poetic justice. (wiki)
So it's also never BY his own petard, it's WITH. Hmm! Did not know that.
So it's Mickey Mouse dressed as the Punisher, tossing a grenade in his hand while delivering a lecture to whom he thought were in the wrong morally, enraptured with listening to himself talk, the grenade blows up in his hand. The only Punishment he got to deliver was to himself.
Punisher Mickey Mouse logo is something I never thought I needed to see in my life, but there it is. Save that image. That is one that is going to hurt on many different levels. First, it reminds Disney that they have been allowed to maintain an illegal hold on the Mickey Mouse copyright and what people like us will do with their characters, copyright or no. The image also meme-flashes the idea of consequences not only for what they have done, and they are well aware that the Punisher symbol was directed toward Hilary Clinton. A Disney copyright now gets to be a part of that as well, whether they like it or not. Put Mickey in American households for 100 plus years and he belongs to us, not them, to do with as we please.
After 40 plus years, Marvel changed the Punisher Logo recently because they didn't like how it was being used. It's a constant trigger to them and changing it is far too late. Their original will register with them each and every time. The Punisher would want it this way. Welcome to the Fantasia meme-wars.
The thing is, ALL other major superheroes have some version of a no kill rule or kills are glossed over to a point where 'they could have survived' makes them congruent with that 'no kill' rule.
Fairly certain this is deliberate and hidden behind notions that superheroes are supposed to be more noble/'better' than everyone else...
All murderers would positively love it if everyone they come up against/try to kill were too 'noble' to kill them and was hamstrung by notions of it being wrong to kill even the most horrendous of monsters....
The Punisher is the one major/main-stream superhero that not only kills but where it is also an integral part of the mythos that he kills deliberately and with the intent to remove the problem that makes it impossible to gloss over or hide........
The Punisher is the one character that has gotten big that they can't control or make 'better'/more 'noble'(they have certainly tried, evident by the comics character being much better than the series/movie character).
It's hard to think of ANY pop-culture character logo that would be a better choice for them to wear, even if they themselves deliberately created a character for the express purpose of him being the embodiment of everything they would want in a symbol/logo for them to wear......
Disney has been a major player in our Copyright laws, I’d say it has been for the worse e.g. there is no such thing as public domain on Disney stuff. It will be protected for perpetuity.
What about the "anonymous" logo? Please tell me they don't own that copy right too. I just bought one for the car that says We the people see the truth.
Yeah, and you said that from 2017 on they weren't enforcing it (or "couldn't"). From the articles it sounds like they chose not to enforce it for other reasons.
Upvoted for hilarious OP image!

How apt by OP to use these words considering Hamlet with the skull :)

damn i was going to put that logo somewhere on my jeep, but not now :(
The ears look notched by a cat. Maybe the DC fox.
I’m lovin this. Reverting to its demonic origins.
Or in the case of Hunters laptop, hoisted by their own retards!

F'N BRILLIANT!
True, everyone uses it.
Where do you get that? The 2017 article says that they were actively going after unauthorized use of their trademark.
