FIGHT FOR YOUR CAPTAIN

[karadinart]

one trashy comic arc cannot destroy a character who’s been built up over 75 years, continue to blog, write to Marvel, write to Disney, think up a campaign, but I’m not going to be made guilty for wearing a Shield backpack.

CAP IS NOT HYDRA, he belongs to US and you ARE NOT TAKING HIM AWAY!

luckily, because my son doesn't read the comics, he won't be affected, unless someone tells him Cap is a Nazi, he'd probably just say 'no he isn't' and carry on.

But i'd like to think that as of Winter Soldier (the film) Cap was less about the US than ideals that the US used to personify, he stood up to the Secretary of State in that film and fought against elements of his own government when he thought they were wrong. I think maybe that's why, honestly, in the films, they've toned the flag elements in the costume down a bit, focused more on the single star.

I'm glad that your son will be okay.

Winter Soldier was very good - I liked Cap's depiction in that one - as you say, fighting for "classic" American ideals that should still be personified, including standing up to certain elements of the government when necessary, etc.

Mind you, I'm not really a fan per si of the Marvel comic world, but I appreciate Cap's character as he was originally intended to be (ie prior to this newest "twist" in the comics). Also, I hate to see all his admirers and fans disappointed and upset - I empathize strongly with them.
