To be honest... · 12:28am May 31st, 2016
I think comics are just the child-friendly version of books for people who can't handle real narrative. The same goes with movies, which are just cheap entertainment with no real value. The worse are fan's fictions, which are all only a escape fantasy from and for people who are just too weak to face the real world.
This is how I've thought since I was eight. Everything I've done so far was done according to those principles.
Anti-Life justifies my hate.

For those still wondering, yes, I'm pissed as fnck for the Captain Hydra stunt. I'm not a Marvel reader, I'm not a fan of Captain America and I still find cringe worthy associating America only with the USA and ignoring the other countries in the continent. However, I do respect the concept and the character, and I still can't believe Marvel prostituted it and themselves like this.
mundane Matt made video about it.
and it is SAD that Marvel comics has to lower themselves to this "shock" value...
I'm honestly half convinced Marvel is trying to kill comics and move to movies-only now.
This thing just destroys everything Captain america stands for
i mean, how can you believe that this epic speech :

was said by a now secret Hydra agent

The most baffling thing about this whole mess is that Marvel practically owns the industry. As a DC fan, I'm not happy acknowledging it, but for better or worse, Marvel is the comic industry. They have no need at all for this sh!t. The world at large was already in for buying Captain America: Steve Roger already, because that's how important is the character to people. Well, was important. From now on, any time anyone ever reads Captain America again, he or she will find out about the time he was an Hydra Agent and will be taken back for that.
No matter how temporary this may be, the wound was made, the scar will stay. Simon and Kirby's legacy was prostituted.

After this, I agree with that statement. I mean, DC, Image, IDW, Dark Horse and Valiant do their best to keep their icons up and working these days. You can pick most of their material and see an honest effort for telling good stories while staying true to themselves. Then, comes Marvel, which can print blanc paper and still make a fortune out of it, and they do this.

It not only destroys it, but it perverts it. Now I see that image's dialogue and can't help but think "is he referring to Hydra? Is Hydra the tree that refuses to move? The belief he's standing for is fascism?".

I still can't understand why. Why would they need to do this? The MCU could be as well called "the money printer project" and in comics they practically own the industry. Marvel has come to the point of being able to sell anything, literally anything they want. There was no need for this and no reason. I've also read Nick Spencer's work from before, he is an actually talented writer with usually good ideas. All of this is a Batman-worth mystery.
