They Killed Cap!

[Umbran]

CNN.com reports:Captain America is dead.

Marvel Comics may be dead to me. I am not sure how I feel about this one...

We need to start a pool to see how long he stays dead.

I say he's back by December.

I mean, even Bucky came back, that's just lame. I fell for this dying stuff 20 years ago, but not anymore....

Right. Remember, this is the same Captain America whose arch-enemy is the Red Skull (who died and came back), whose sidekick is Bucky (who died and came back), whose girlfriend is Sharon Carter (who died and came back), whose buddy is Nick Fury (who died and came back), and who recently fought in Civil War against a bunch of other heroes, including Captain Marvel (who died and came back).

In other words, Cap will be back.

Reboot of the character. Cap was too goody two shoes for the current environment.

The costume will be back with a new twist.

This is exactly what worries me.

Today's comics are full of characters who are willing to perform small evils to fight greater ones; characters for whom the ends justify the means.

Cap is one of the last, rare few who actually stand for the "hero" part of superhero. Comic books need more like him (and Spidey, and Superman), not fewer.

Damn you, Kim Jong Il!!!

*shakes fist violently*



So, will Steve Rogers finally stay dead? Will there be a reality show called Who Wants to be Captain America? produced by Stan Lee? Will William Hung sing at the audition? Will the costume be Made in China? Will the new Cap crack under pressure, forgot to wear his codpiece, and finally shaved his head (costume and all) bald? Will he adopt a Vietnamese child? Will he jump couches and join Scientology?

Captain America is dead.... who else saw that comming a mile away? After all, if the Civil War storyline is an alligory for the events which many feel are happening in America... Then its natural for Captain America would die. Sigh.. where's Captain Morgan when you need him..? Only he can make things better...


(I just hope that Captain America doesn't come back as Jack Bauer-esque character)

The whole "replace Steve Rogers with a more badass character" was already done in the late 80s, when that other dude became Captain America and Rogers became The Captain. Later they switched uniforms (ewww) and the other dude became USAgent... which, weirdly enough, will be in the new Omega Flight.

Quesada says he's dead? Well, this is the same man that said in print that The Sentry was a lost creation of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

What I don't follow is why CNN and other media outlets fall for this junk.
