Re: Captain America:-General spoiler warning

So? Captain America won't be the first or last superhero to become evil.

And you don't think that Marvel mayyyyyy have some kind of twist to the whole thing? Do you really think Marvel would turn one of their most iconic characters into a Nazi and not have it be mind control/magic/time travel/triple agent/space squid/etc?

I'm sure they have a twist. But they also chose to present the story this way and promote this specific image as something standing on its own, and given that choice, I don't think it's wrong to judge it as they present it.

Re: Captain America:-General spoiler warning

[kaijinscendre]

I'd think that when it comes to comics, it would be silly not to wait to see how it unfolds. Comics of this kind are not meant to be taken as a singularity.

Re: Captain America:-General spoiler warning

But - again - inasmuch as they chose to use this image and event as a tool for building buzz, I think we can analyze it as an image, that they chose to put out there as an image.

Like I've said I'm not sure how much credit we should give Marvel, in terms of viewing the story as a whole, when they've designed it this way because it works for their business.

Re: Captain America:-General spoiler warning

[kaijinscendre]

The image is what, though? That Steve Rogers might be secretly evil?

This kind of stuff doesn't reflect on the writers. It doesn't mean they hate Jewish people or whatever nonsense the Tumblr/Twitter-sphere has come with.

It means that Marvel is trying to come up with something shocking to draw in readers. That's it.

I just want to point out that the same way people can be homophobic without literally harboring a deep hatred for gay people in their hearts, the same is true for antisemitism (and most bigotry).

Re: Captain America:-General spoiler warning

[kaijinscendre]

If they were framing this as a good thing, I could see that. But I doubt they are. Hydra is evil and their beliefs are evil. Thus, Steve being Hydra is a bad thing.

Re: Captain America:-General spoiler warning

[ketita]

True, it's just that Marvel has been kind of shitty about their Jewish characters. In that lately, you can hardly tell there even are any.

Re: Captain America:-General spoiler warning

You mean like how Magneto's kids are no longer his kids and thus no longer Jewish? That one annoyed the hell out of me.

Re: Captain America:-General spoiler warning

[ketita]

...come to think of it, they actually sort of turned them into Nazis too. HMM, MARVEL.

Re: Captain America:-General spoiler warning

AYRT
I was thinking comics, but you're right. In the MCU, they are/were kind of like Nazis.

Re: Captain America:-General spoiler warning

Magnetos kids were never Jewish. Jewishness descends through the female line, their mother was a Romani. Thanks for erasing the other ethnic group decimated in the holocaust to make it all about the Jews though, don't get enough of that in Real Life.
