Stopped reading there.
Seen close up on the 3D screen, actor Chris Evans’ ruddy lips, bright complexion, and sparkling eyes look like a Pop Art personification of red, white, and blue patriotism …They just had to invoke Andy Warhol, didn’t they.
The title Winter Soldieer had nothing to do with any Vietnam Era drivel. It was both a reference to him being frozen in ice until the Soviets revived him and turned him into an assassin, and their policy of freezing him between missions due to his instability. I have not yet seen the movie, but my first impression is that the reviewer does not care for Marvel, preferring DC. Up until now, the movie version of Captain America has been quite good.
Pop culture has rarely had respect for the military and now, with O'Stinkburger's new "Don't Ask, Just Do Me", Drag Queen, metrosexual military, many more are loosing respect.
I am glad to see the American fighting man portrayed in a positive light and hope to see more of the same.
He liked "Man of Steel"?
OK, now his taste and judgment in movies is seriously suspect.
Huge slam on NSA type spying, data collection, drone warfare and where this type of government even in the USA is leading.
Mr. White, you are a mental case.
I am an artist. I do not work for Marvel, I am now just doing stories for myself.
Marvel would never print my Captain America story. They would rather attack the Tea Party. Which they did in the book.
I love Cap, because he was created by two jewish kids who saw a threat coming and used their talents to combat the Nazis before America even got into the war.
I approached my story after I saw an illustration of Cap crying over the Twin Towers. CRYING! Cap didn’t cry over Pearl Harbor and like most Americans I am sure he was angry and then wanted revenge.
In my story SHIELD is now run by a bureaucrap that is gay and looks very much like sean I’llblowadictator penn. He was put in place by hitlary.
I also use alec baldwin and the a-hole actor private pyles from Full Metal Jacket. During a WW2 flashback I use real Americans like Bogie, The Duke, Jimmy Stewart, Cagney, Gable, and Mitchum to show the contrast between these so called actors who aren’t even Americans in my opinion.
I also put the blame on Clunton for the attack. the POS knew of these plans in 96. (read Dereliction of Duty) So when Hitlary tried to say “when did the president know?” maybe she should ask her beard the same question. BJ also dismissed the first attack on the towers.
So I have a story within that Cap almost took BJ’s head off for selling plots in Arlington. And it took 22 secret service men to pull him off. The fact that Clunton ( L is silent) loathed the military makes me feel that Cap would hate this draft dodging commie.
This is a comic so of course I have a story line of Hitler’s werewolves being real werewolves. Hey Stalin was trying to breed gorillas with women to create an army of soldiers. And I think I explain the werewolf myth pretty well.
Since The camps were being filled with gypsies and if you watch the old Lon Cheney Wolfman this was how the nazis were going to catch a werewolf. I also explain how Nick Fury and his Howling Commandos got their monicker.
I like mixing in the truth with fiction.
Sure it’s just comic books. But when your lively hood is taken away from you and you lose your house and people who know nothing about your business are sitting in corner offices and making bonuses off your work (more than your year salary) and take your credit while they are destroying the company, you can see where this country is going.
Looking forward to this, but my wife and I have pretty much decided to forego seeing movies in the theater at this point. We just upgraded to a 70” TV and new Blu-ray, both 3D capable, so other than just seeing it soon, there’s not much incentive to pay the high prices (plus parking at the theater we go to) and roll the dice whether or not some cretin will be texting in front of you or kicking the back of your chair. We can just wait for the video release and have a comparable experience in the comfort of our own home, dog in lap, choice of snacks, and the ability to take a restroom break if need be without missing anything.
Granted, in the case of the Marvel universe, there may be some continuity issues if they’re going to be doing crossovers with the TV series, but still...
