Got to disagree a little with Karli here @08:00, the Punisher tends to go out of his way to avoid hurting *innocent* cops. Dirty ones are fair game. But people who inherently support cops using the punisher symbol aren't stupid. The Punisher, as a military veteran, generally respects law and order, however he sees corruption in the system (criminals who buy their way out) and acts against them. He is also very against the "deep state", so take that as you will. His primary method of target are warhawks, corrupt CIA/FBI/Military Officials. With cops though, if they do get in his way, he tends to go with non-lethals means unless absolutely forced or convinced of their corruption.

Top Three in no particular order would be Winter soldier, guardians of the Galaxy 1 and age of Ultron. Too many good ones to choose from though at this point!

Also, I'm sure this has been asked but were you doing any of the TV shows or no time? I was looking ahead and honestly out of phase 4 the TV show that starts with an L would be what I'm most excited for. Not saying the full name because of possible spoilers. It's one of the better parts of later marvel stuff.

i literally DM'd Taylor asking him if they could go back and watch DareDevil and Punisher from Netflix. Would a money donation do a request Taylor or Karlii??

Doctor Who mentioned! Would be a blast to have that as a series but I faintly remember reading that you both already seen the series so not sure if you'd consider rewatching it for the channel.

About not getting to have those toys; Absolute prohibition seems a little strict, but not unreasonable. To suggest that those 'sticky' stretchy toys would leave oil marks is perhaps a bit of a misconception, but not at all baseless. The (mostly) don't contain any such contaminants, and are made of a simple, mess-free polymer. Due to their sticky nature, however, they can easily collect contaminants, such as skin oils from frequently touching them. I wouldn't think of them as making any mess, but it's not totally unthinkable. As for silly-string... Yeah. Fair enough. I aspire to be the kind of parent who would let my kids have fun with stuff like that, but, really... no way. Not a chance in hell. For so many reasons. It's like letting them play with spray paint, all through the house. It's going everywhere, and someone's gonna have to clean it all up afterwards. What if it gets in the carpet? How easily does it wash out? If it's the colorful stuff, could the chemical dyes stain? Not to mention the propellant. The string is launched out of the can by some pressurized gas, just like deodorant, hairspray and spray-paint. A bit here and there is no problem, but if kids are spraying these cans in each other's faces? Bathing in toxic propellant doesn't sound great for them.

So, on the initial scene about the wreckage cleanup; Immediately after the disaster, the city would've hurried to hire contractors to handle the damage. Restoring critical infrastructure and other cleanup jobs to get the city back into working order. Independent contractors can be deployed quickly, self-manage, and could also help to stimulate the economy after the disaster. The government acknowledges the issue, but isn't under such direct pressure. They take a more cautious approach, seeing that the debris contains alien technology, and choose to centralize the whole operation. Allowing civilian workers to have unregulated access to alien technology is an obvious liability. They aren't focusing on emergency repairs, but on longer-term damage control. Now, who's a contractor with both the resources to handle the entire operation, and the reputation to be trusted with such a task? Tony Stark has a generational legacy of contracts with the government/military, all of which came through without issue. He's well ahead of his competition (namely Hammer Tech) in both results and reliability. As one of the wealthiest men in the country, with his own army of industrial resources, he can definitely handle the task. To top it all off, he's got a reputation as a hero. Not just a hero. At this point, he's already made himself something of an icon. He fought to contain this very disaster, and was willing to sacrifice himself in doing so. As well as having the reputation to handle the task, he's also one of the few people in existence who has even a modicum of experience with the matter - the alien technology. Not to mention, upon looking at the situation, Tony probably would've gone to the government and proposed the same offer. It's clear they need to control the situation, and that they'd need his resources to do so. So, the government uses Tony's 'wisdom' and resources as a means to control the situation. Their first priority is simply to limit civilian access, hence the abrupt arrival and takeover. The side-effect being disrupting the economy, especially since the private contractors had already invested in their contracts, as well as potentially reducing efficiency of the immediate works. Funnily enough, the main reason these contractors were so abruptly replaced was to control the alien technology. It posed too great a risk to be left in the hands of civilians. They immediately begin exploiting what they have left of this technology, exactly as the government had feared, in order to recoup their losses, and continue doing so to their own benefit. What a surprise...
