timeline for The Punisher: The End

there is no clear indication as to whether or not the event took place in the current Marvel universe mainstream of Earth-616. Marvel made no official announcements that all the The End titles is the definite conclusion for all the characters. It is left up to the readers to speculate on the matter. The fact of adding the exact timeline for this title such as Earth-616 should be clearly cited, if not, it definitely falls under WP:NOR for lack of supporting sources. †Bloodpack† 07:34, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The first line on the first page gives the timeline...soon. It describes the war on terror and how when China was targeted they rellatiated with nukes. Given the hints on Ennis' feelings towards Iraq (a disillusioned Fury comments in Valley Forge Valley Forge on American deaths topping 4000) we can take it this is where Ennis sees the real world conflict going in his Max Punisher timeline. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.223.139.81 (talk) 13:49, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've added that it is mentioned in the comic that the events are stated as "soon". Hopefully this fully clears up any confusion. Freikorp (talk) 04:17, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

His Death Or Such

Frank is not actually shown dying; saying 'his death is assured' is original research and that is discouraged by Wikipolicy. Lots42 (talk) 17:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's mentioned repeatedly in the text that they've taken a lethal dose of radiation as soon as they step outside of the confines of the shelter. As he's also enveloped in flames as he walks to Central Park, it's a safe bet to say that he's going to die. Hexjumper

Well, then this should be clear. 'lethal dose' and 'covered in flames' are part of the plot. Let the audience figure it out. I know this is minor, but ... Lots42 (talk) 21:56, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's worth mentioning that the Ennis penned game comments on this...grab one of the mooks and he might yell 'you're gonna burn in hell,' causing Frank to have a flashback to this very scene. Of course he cannot have died at the end of the world and then gone back to have Soap and Molly chasing him, but it's a pretty clear indication of Castle's fate in The End. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.223.139.81 (talk) 13:53, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I'm not entirely sure what your on about 121.223.139.81, it's set in the future, hence the reason "he can go back to Soap and Molly chasing him" without it affecting the story of this future event. As it stands now I believe the article has NPOV, so I've removed the tag, feel free to contact me if you disagree. Freikorp (talk) 04:15, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alternate Versions

This whole thing needs to be a couple sentences on an 'alternate versions of the punisher' page.
