User blog:Hufflepuffgirl28/The Whole Captain America Thing

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS So, the Captain America thing happened. Yeah the one that made more than 415 headlines (including my personal favorite, "Captain America still not gay, but now he’s a Hydra agent with beliefs like Donald Trump") and made my friend drop her comic and run across the room in panic when she read it. Honestly, I don't mind it. Although Cap is one of my favorite characters (I refrain from giving anyone the #1 spot, but he's close), I think that this could be an interesting arc. I'll admit, it did tug at my emotions a little bit (read: a lot), and I can understand the reactions a lot of people are having, but I think it's best to let this series go a few issues before forming any strong opinion. It's obviously not going to last. There's going to be some (somewhat B.S.) twist that fans will speculate about for months, and then it will be over. My cynical side says that this is just a marketing thing, and it probably is, at least in part, but maybe it'll be a good one! I'm liking what Spencer's been doing with The Astonishing Ant-Man, and I've really enjoyed Captain America: Sam Wilson so far (which, I'll remind you, started out with a similar media storm), so I have high hopes. Let's see where this goes.
