If he's the minister, then what happened to this guy?

Or did he replace this guy?

Either way, that's a pretty big deal. You really ought to post a spoiler warning on stuff like that.

Passacaglia · 03-07-2007, 04:16 PM

I know all there is to know about the crying game.

Izulde · 03-07-2007, 04:20 PM

Seriously this is fucking bullshit.

Have you no respect for understanding that in works of art that involve a fictional story, whether they be television, film, literature, comic books, manga, whatever, much of the enjoyment comes from the mystery and excitement of NOT knowing what happens?

I don't give a fuck if CNN, Yahoo, the Drudge Report, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox News, ES fucking PN stream that shit 24 fucking 7, you do -not- fucking pull that spoiler bullshit.

It ruins it, it fucking ruins it in a way that you can't have it back. The experience is gone. Even if you try to pretend to yourself, even if you try to forget the spoiler you just read, it's there. The enjoyment and the excitement can no longer reach the level they would've originally had.

To say that "OH! ALL THE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS R REPORTIN' IT SO ITZ OK!" does not fucking fly. It's being an asshat to spoiler it like that and it's a fucking cheapshit excuse.

No, I don't read comics and no I don't read Captain America. But it's the god damned principle of the thing.

JonInMiddleGA · 03-07-2007, 04:22 PM

You realize that when this thread gets deleted people will lose posts?
(or does bringing that up spoil it for anybody)

There seems to be an abnormally high case of tourette's symptoms in this thread.

Because to actually be upset about any of the title(s) of this thread would be ridiculous. Right? Parody and mental illness are the only rational assumptions.

Neither did I really, but I figured since I already got a Ministry of Silly Walks reference into the thread, I might as well get in at least one more visual one-liner. It's not like the thread could get much more absurd.

I'm not a comic guy, but how fucked up is this? Killing off a super hero who only super power is his patriotism? Long time coming, in my opinion.

Marvel Entertainment

Demise of a Comic Hero
In latest issue, legendary superhero Captain America gets shot down by sniper in front of courthouse.

They kill Superman once too and brought him back to life later on.

There isn't a single character in Marvel that has died "a permanent death" that hasn't been brought back -- They brought back Bucky, and a few months ago they brought back Captain Mar-vell.

So, yeah he'll be back. The big rumor is that he isn't dead, but paralyzed, so he'll become the new Iron Man (the suit will allow him to walk), and some new guy will be Captain America.

I heard the most likely candidates are Pascual Perez and Andy McAffigan.

It'll probably be Bucky, aka Winter Soldier.

wade moore · 03-07-2007, 08:09 PM

For the record: I don't feel nearly as strongly about this as Izulde

... My only goal was to change the thread title and move on, somewhere in the middle KSyrup and I got into a spirited debate that seemed to turn things in a crazy direction.

Fidatelo · 03-07-2007, 08:54 PM

Captain America has been dead before, all of the non-mutants died at the end of the Onslaught thing IIRC. Then there was the "Heroes Reborn" story-arc that brought them all back. I think they spent about a year-and-a-half in an alternate universe or something.

The funny thing is I have all those comics, as well as the internet, but I'm too lazy to actually fact check any of the above.

Son works in the business, and the rumors are rampant that Winter Soldier might have offed Steve, and that Punisher picked up the mask in the story, so who knows who will be the new Cap.

I have a long post in me about this story, and I am not sure if I should post it...

Being a fan of comics, this can only get either really nasty (read Superman, Batman, Green Lantern deaths and rebirths...angry fans..) or generate more interest in the field, with fans coming back to see what happened, and what direction they take the property. Old Guard will hate it.. new readers might jump on and take to a revamped Winghead.

EBay already has the two variant issues for almost 60 bucks or more.

Ksyrup · 03-08-2007, 06:58 AM

Izulde, your shtick is getting old and pretty transparent. If you insist on playing the character, at least go back to writing love poems for non-existent women and rating fragrances. Those were more entertaining. This one was...over the top, even for you.

We should start a Comic Book (with spoilers) discussion thread.

I am very excited. I had a brief down moment when I went to my comic shop last night (about a 30-40 min bus ride round trip) and it had moved. Then I looked at the sign and it is now 2 blocks frome me.
