Comments on: Pimp My Cap? http://www.angryzenmaster.com/2007/10/11/pimp-my-cap/ Enlightenment Through Focused Rage Sat, 20 Mar 2010 00:41:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.11 by: Xenos http://www.angryzenmaster.com/2007/10/11/pimp-my-cap/#comment-7120 Sat, 13 Oct 2007 23:16:16 +0000 http://www.angryzenmaster.com/2007/10/11/pimp-my-cap/#comment-7120 Well, this isn't much of a surprise. If anyone's been actually reading Brubaker's current run of Captain America, the last issue pretty much pointed to this. Tony found a type of will from Steve. From what was shown, it sounded like Bucky / Winder Soldier was Steve's choice. Steve knew he might die in that Civil War, so he wrote down that he didn't want Captain America to die and that America still needed one. FYI, Bucky's alive and was trained by Russia to be their own super soldier. Yeah, it sounds dumb, but it's written by Ed Brubaker who hit it out of the park. Or so I hear. I only started reading recent issues. I'm kicking myself that I didn't follow Brubaker on the book and now I have to pick up the trades. (Meanwhile, over at DC, Judd Winick brought back Jason Todd. Ugh. Now that just ended up a huge mess.) Plus the last Punisher War Journal ended with Bucky getting Cap's mask from the Punsiher. Castle picked it up in the aftermath of when Cap surrendered to Stark. Castle said he wasn't right for it and gave it to Bucky. Well, this isn’t much of a surprise.

Either way, I say the new guy's a government clone and has no genitals, hence the use of the gun and no need to worry about a serious wardrobe malfunction every time he ties his boots.

Yeah, the piece doesn't feel right. Whatever happened to just laying down a good old fashioned ass-whipping? Brass knuckles, yes. AK-47s, no. LMAO at the Great White Snark: “Kneecap some b*tches.”

Cap w/ a gun is no Cap. May be just a ploy to make fans pay attention to what has happened to Cap, create a groundswell of longing for the original, and then about a year from now, surprise!! Steve didn't really die or has been returned from the dead through XYZ circumstances that they made up to make it work. I really forsee Marvel pulling a Superman outta this somehow. Concur.

Nothing wrong with a little fun at the range. Convenience is when a buglar breaks into your basement, causing the female art student who rents it to scream bloody murder, going downstairs with a 10 gauge Ithaca, vice waiting for the police to take 15 minutes to show. Mercy is letting him sit down on the lawn and wait the rest of the 15 minutes instead of finding out how hard it is to get blood off the wall. Might even be some justice in there somewhere. I love my guns. But Captain America is not a gun-wielding hero (post-WW2 :) Jack, I find great instant gratification from a range of firearms, punching holes of various sizes in PAPER.

But I guess that’s what America is about these days. Convenience and instant gratification. It saddens me." You might have heard of a great piece of American history called the Second Amendment, but I suppose by "these days" you mean 1780's - present. :P Also unless your focus and pleasure in life are derived from killing people, I am a little disturbed that to you a gun stands for "convenience and instant gratification". That said, I think it's a terrible idea for Cap to be wielding a gun, if for no other reason than it simply makes him less badass, which would be a shame.

It’s what separated him from being a primary-color-clad version of the Punisher. Is the new Cap operating sans-scruples, or is he just out to kneecap some b*tches?

Freedom. Courage. Dedication. Justice. Mercy. Somehow, I don't think "Gun" when I think of these ideals. But I guess that's what America is about these days. Convenience and instant gratification. It saddens me. Captain America stood for, I believe, the ideals of America. Freedom. Courage. Dedication. Justice. Mercy. Somehow, I don’t think “Gun” when I think of these ideals.
