They finally finished all the insulation work on my house (2 1/2 weeks)

I have an intestinal bug, and because of this everyone had to stay home (cos I transport them to school and work daily)

Yesterday GiveCaptainAmericaABoyFriend was trending worldwide, and BBC3 was even making Stucky videos, while Skytv was countering with Stony posts

Today it is revealed that Marvel will retcon Captain Americas entire history to make him a secret Hydra Operative, which shits on Steve, and the Jewish men who created him to fight Nazis in WW2.

It's even gotten to the point that some fanboys are trying to deny that Hydra was ever part of the Nazi movement in the comics (they were) and it's just some other secret society. I know the trend at Marvel was to make first Spider Man, and then Iron Man 'evil' for a comic run, it's one of those typical 'stunt' arcs, and I guess they've decided it's Steve's turn. BUT COME ON.

Already people despise it, and CapIsNotHydra is trending. Well, Marvel got it's publicity, but how could someone like me who loves MCU STeve, ever want to go pick up a comic now?

Comics are always doing these stunts, but the whole 'let's make him evil' is just pure lazy, but also the writers are going to pains to say, this is steve rogers, it's not a clone, or a skrull, or an LMD, or an alternate universe, we will go back in time to show you everything you thought you knew was wrong, and it just doesn't make sense, so, Cap fought the Skull and defeated him and they were on the same side? whatevs.

Last year they made Tony evil so i'm not surprised, but I also don't think it's the trick to get more readers to comics, it's a fanboy thing for fanboys, maybe.

You can't convince me that Trump would be a good President either.
