what is your saddest frank castle headcanon?
That Frank let himself be shot in the head at the carousel.
This isn’t a headcanon thing, this is a straight up canon. He saw his family die; he has stated as much. He told Matt about it, said he was holding his daughter after it happened.
It was mentioned at his trial that Frank was shot point blank, execution style. Now, to shoot someone at that range means getting up close and personal. And we know that Frank is perfectly capable of disarming an opponent if they’re close enough. He taught Amy how to do it; he has demonstrated that skill repeatedly throughout the series. His very first scene was of him grabbing a cop’s gun and just tossing it away.
He could have saved himself. He didn’t.
So basically during the carousel shooting, Frank wouldn’t let go of his daughter, not even to save himself.
