THE FIRST ISSUE OF CAPTAIN AMERICA FEATURED HIM PUNCHING HITLER ON THE COVER.
TO MAKE CAPTAIN AMERICA HYDRA IS DISGUSTING AND I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT AND I REFUSE TO ACCEPT IT AS CANON. I SUGGEST YOU, OR ANYONE WHO READS COMICS OR HAS THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF CARE FOR THE CHARACTER OF CAPTAIN AMERICA, DOES THE SAME.
THIS IS HORRIBLE.
WHAT THEY’RE DOING IS NOT ONLY COMPLETELY INSENSITIVE BUT DISGRACEFUL, DISRESPECTFUL, COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY INAPPROPRIATE, AND HONESTLY DOWNRIGHT DISGUSTING.
Its so offensive and so, so inappropriate. Doing this? Is practically shitting on the memory of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. And I am completely, and utterly offended. Stop this. Boycott this. Keep blogging, sharing, tweeting, do whatever is in your power to #SaveCaptainAmerica and #SayNoToHydraCap
Whatever it is you have to do, do it. Joe wouldn’t of wanted this. Jack wouldn’t of wanted this.
We need to plant ourselves like trees on the river of truth, and tell the whole world, “No, you move.”
For the first time in my life, I’m glad someone has died.
Earlier this year, my Jewish great-grandmother passed away, after decades of PTSD, death, war, famine and illness. One of the most inspiring forces in her life, however, was the bright-eyed look her children, her grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren would give her when they talked about the ‘really cool man in blue, he beats up nazis!’ That, as you can probably guess, was Steve Rogers.
