* BadassBoast: Somewhat humorously subverted during the fight between Castle and Pilgrim at the trailer. The two have been thoroughly brutalized by the events of the last few episodes and can barely walk. After pounding on each other for thirty seconds, they're both down on the ground and take just as long to get back on their feet. After each grabs a weapon and manages to face the other, we get this hollow exchange.

* BittersweetEnding: Out of the main cast, Amy is the only one with an unambiguously happy ending, as Frank has sent her on her way to Florida to take diving lessons and fulfill her dreams of becoming a salvage diver, and even then, there is an undercurrent of sadness, as it is clear that they will almost definitely never see each other again, and Frank clearly does not want her associated with the life he is about to lead. Other than her, Frank has lost virtually everyone close to him in some fashion and has fully embraced the identity of the Punisher, and is last shown opening fire on a low-level street gang, Madani has lost all of her idealism and has jumped ship to the CIA with an air of complete resignation, and is last seen trying to recruit Frank for wetworks jobs, Curtis has completely washed his hands of Frank and wants nothing to do with him ever again, Pilgrim's wife is dead and he is now a single dad who will more than likely continue to work as a hitman to support his sons despite despising that life, Russo is dead, and Dumont was most likely rendered a quadriplegic and has no way to support herself between her injuries and being stripped of her licenses, and will likely go to prison after she recovers.
