If by "we" you mean the people who look at one panel and ignore anything else, than you're correct. However, that was BS on the writer's part and the Punisher had divine protection. The Captain Marvel instance is purely lazy writing andthe reason it didn't work on Deadpool was because Johnny only wanted to see Deadpool's memories, which is what happened. And Venom survived because apparantly anybody with a symbiote is immune to the Penance Stare.

The Penance Stare has worked on numerous psychopaths who shouldn't have any guilt, masochists, people who are generally immune to soul-based attacks, people who are highly resistant to mind attacks, and on innocents like Doctor Strange and a former sorcerer supereme.
