The Punisher Special Presentation - Why Isn't It A Full Series Or Film?

Without a doubt, there is a massive fanbase for The Punisher simply as a character. When you define that character as Jon Bernthal's Punisher from the Netflix series, the fan base grows even bigger. Jon Bernthal is now just as associated with the character as Hugh Jackman is to Wolverine and Robert Downey Jr. is to Iron Man.
Recently, it was confirmed that The Punisher is getting his own Special Presentation on Disney+. We have a few details on it like Bernthal co-writing and who will actually direct the series, as well as a few words from the director that you can read about here, but it's still fairly limited.
If you don’t know what a Marvel Special Presentation is, it’s essentially a single episode of TV. Werewolf by Night and Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special are the only other two Marvel Special Presentations that currently exist.
