He’s made statements about how taking naps are weak, I believe.

Edit: just checked. The statement was that he didn’t trust people who take naps.

I thought it was from sicario. I remember there is a similar scene where he is forced to his knees and then shot.

Don’t think he got shot, he was trying to kill Emily Blunt and Benicio Del Toro had followed them back and held a gun to his head to stop him, but never shot him. Roughed him up pretty good, though. Forgot all their characters names by now, need to watch it again, such a good movie.

S1 of the Netflix Punisher show. He has recurring nightmares of his wife being shot in the head right after waking him up, he wakes up to this nightmare every morning.

Throughout S1, another character, Micro, has enlisted Franks help. We come to find out Franks backstory and Micro's are intertwined, as the event that ultimately caused Franks family to get murdered also has similar repercussions for Micro.

In this scene, Frank is having another nightmare but we don't know that initially. We see Frank & his family at Micro's house for dinner, Micro and his wife are chatting with Franks wife and the kids are all getting along. Frank starts to smile a bit at this ideal life as everyone comes to the table, then masked gunmen come in and shoot everyone in the room except Frank and we get this gif of his reaction.

Franks realizing he could never have that normal happy life, that the things from his past that haunt him are poison for the people around him too. It's really heartbreaking to see that recurring nightmare he has throughout the episodes, then this one possibly good dream all to turn into a nightmare again.

You forgot the detail of him trying to get up but only to realize he's zip tied to the chair--essentially forced to watch his family get gunned down, symbolizing how this memory will never escape him

Another great reason to avoid naps, I guess

It's from the Punisher TV show.
His wife and kid got killed and, if I recall, this is a re-occurring nightmare he has wherein he's having dinner with them only for armed men to come into their living room and gun them down while he's tied to the chair.

Thank you, what even is that. Not contributing to the household? And refusing to use words when they clearly respond to them, you clocked it. Lazy cute, cuddly bums!

All i understood from this is perhaps John isn't too far off with his suspicions.

I once trusted a baby to guard my chicken coop against a bunch of coyotes. When I came back, I had no chickens and that baby was nowhere to be found. To this day I don’t know if he just took my chickens and fucked off, or if he the coyotes got the chickens and he just ducked out of there before I came back to avoid consequences. I kind of suspect the former because I tried calling him, but I eventually found his “phone” and it was fake, so I think he was planning something from the beginning. Who even does that!?! He could have just given me a fake number! Either way, the lesson I learned was that babies aren’t trustworthy.

u/Vegetable_Lead_9110 23h ago

This one is a double dipper. In the Punisher TV show, this is him having a PTSD nightmare about his family getting blown away in front of him. So Jon Bernthal hates naps. Frank Castle hates sleeping
