Can you believe this?! Who were those people being interviewed? What in the hell is going on in this country? Has the brass at Marvel gone mad?

Marvel sounds like they don't intend on bringing back Steve Rogers. I would be ticked forever. Heck they might as well kill em all off if they are going to keep Steve Rogers dead. Kill Peter Parker, and Bruce Banner, and start all over again with a new universe and see how that goes for them.
I predict that if Steve Rogers isn't brought back eventually sales will slip to nothing until his return. I wish they'd let me write Cap. I'd put the patriotism back in and show a good moral character can kick the so-called complex sissy boy heroes' butts!

I think you are on to something, Tim. From what I am hearing and what I am readin in the comics, this might not be to far off.

You know how liberal Marvel is though, Cap did not seem like their type of hero in these 'modern' times. While watching Adult Swim, there is a commercial that says Marvel killed Cap as a political statement. I would agree. Cap represents America. Cap is now dead, meaning America is dead. Makes sense to me, but I could be wrong.

I guess we'll have to wait and see where Marvel goes with this. It takes so long for a comic book story to get anyplace. It takes a month to get a comic and about 2 minutes for me to read it. I tell you it's depressing. I love art, but I think comics should have more words so we can get on with the story.
I have a feeling the feeling of patrioism will come back. These things recycle themselves. You got the radical lib types hanging in the shadows waiting for a little discouragement to come to the country and then they pounce, burning flags and acting like heathens, but those that love their country will not stay silent for long.
I'm really hoping Fred Thompson will run for Prez. I think he's our best chance of getting that good old feel good patriotism back to America like we had in the 80's when Reagan was President. Those early 80's issues of Cap were some of my favorites. We need someone who can get the country feeling good about itself, and somebody to stand up to the libs and still keep a smile on his face. The 80's patriotic feelings trickled down to comics, movies, and tv. We had Rambo, Top Gun, and Iron Eagle at the movies, and Family Ties on the tube. It was a good decade.

Hey Cpl. I seen your picture(avitar) in the video.So what your saying is maybe they (Marvel) should dump John Qeusado since he seems like he's the one who thinks Captain America is out of touch with todays real world...ohh and the female clerk in the video as well...

Correct, correct and correct sir. The female clerk really made me mad.
Also, the writer for The Ultimates is from Scotland and he is one of those "If we don't get Bush out of office the planet will explode people". Check out the special features on both 'The Ultimates' DVD's, he's on there.

I am truly a child of the 80's (turned 18 in 1990, thus ending my childhood) and would do anything to have the days of Uncle Ronnie, John Rambo and Alex P. Keaton back.
Iron Eagle, that brings back memories. Still watch it every once in awhile, and Red Dawn too.

I was just at the comic store and I saw a t-shirt. It was President Bush with fangs biting the neck of the Statue of Liberty. What in the Sam Hill is happening to America?

There is an inordinate amount of hate for Mr. Bush among his political "enemies". I'm afraid the left has lost the concept of "the loyal opposition."

I don't know, the left goes too far with the hate bit over Bush, and they aren't even angry at Bush for what he does wrong like the border agents problem and spending too much money. Of course I wouldn't expect libs to be angry over too much spending.
They seem to be the angriest over Iraq, and my first impulse is we are defending ourselves. I am at the conclusion that perhaps the strategy could be done a lot better in the war. Seems like our soldiers have had their hands tied a few times, but the libs are just violently angry over violence. Libs are hypocritical. Doesn't make sense to me how people wanting peace could come across as so violent and hateful as the radical libs in their violent peaceful marches. These guys should go protest in front of Osama's cave for a while.

I always find it amazing that people, irrespective of where they live can question their pride in the Country, I chose the name Union Jack as a reason that is fairly obvious, I would hope.
The way that Cap is being portrayed and the liberal heresy that is spewing forth is pretty poor imho.
It is strange that some can berate Mr Bush, whilst he may not be the best President you have ever had, if (the aforemetioned "libs")are going to attack him, at least attack the man on what he is doing/done wrong. To pour scorn on him for the middle east situation is wrong, as he has handled himself in a fair manner.
You truly can sum this up, that if everthere was the time, then now, is the time for we all need CAPTAIN AMERICA.

Refering to our own left, they seem to react to things like atacks on "us" (read that a us and as the US) anyway they react to those who hate us with something like :
"Oh, we're so sorry we did whatever it is we did to make you not like us and kill some of us. Since it's ALWAYS Americas fault, what can we do to make you not hate us?"
Now, looking at that, think back to history (WW2 history ironicly as this is a Captain America sight). Who does all this sound like? Think of Chamberlin. Hitler invades, the rest of the world whines and finally aquases. That's where we are now. What it will take to wake people up to the fact that there are people who just want to kill us, and we can't...make them like us.

Preach on, brother paladin.

Great post, that about sums it up.

It's been that way since the Korean War. It's hard to win hearts and minds when you're also trying to kill them. Plus you have all the hippies back here complaining about collateral damage. Imagine the uproar if the U.S. blew up a Mosk. It's O.K. for them to destroy civilian targets but we can't?

Kind of like anti-abortionists blowing up clinics. George Carlin said: "They'll do anything they can to save a fetus, but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it?"
Remember Tim, acording to liberals; civil urest, obstructing traffic, ruining Rush Limbaugh's show and violence are O.K. as long as it's for your cause.

After seeing combat instead of making up ideas about it, they would no longer be able to protest. They have no idea what combat is about. No one really does until you pick up a rifle and walk into combat.

I'm not that crazy about Cap't America. but I think this STINKS.
I think Marvel's planning to bring in a new guy as Cap't America and have Steve Rogers stay dead. They have tried replacing Steve as Cap't Cornball (sorry)before and it went over like a lead balloon.
So...this time they offed Steve FIRST before bringing in the new guy.
THIS NEVER WORKS! "GETTING RID" of a character the company does not like to replace him/her/it with something that meets THEIR approval has been tried before...NEVER WORKS> Sorry.

I find it odd that people like to come on a sight where there are fans of a certain character ahd insult those fans. We (most of us) see Captain America as an ideal and far more that just a character.

Hey guys, new poster here.
I just read through most of this thread, and I have read Cap #25, but not #26 yet.
I"ve read some of the Fallen Son issues, and wanted to contribute a bit.
SPOILER ALERT:
If you have not read FALLEN SON: Wolverine and Avengers, beware the following.
Wolverine finds Caps body and knows it's him and that he's dead.
The Avengers and Spidey are angry, big deal, everybody is.
END SPOILERS:
We know that Lukin/Red Skull could use the cube to bring him back, but I don't think that will happen.
I think it's pretty much confirmed that the PUnisher will take up the shield for a bit, but not become the new Cap. I personally think that Bucky will take the mantle for awhile...why else bring him back? Bringing him back to play Cap would be interesting...especially if the Skull still could have some control over Cap, decimating his image and ruining the American dream even more than it has been to this point.
Just when it gets to looking like everybody hates Cap (and right before the movie comes out in 200 , Steve Rogers reappears and reclaims his mantle as Captain America. In the twist, he will have to choose whether or not to LET Bucky die (in a fight similar to the one where he was killed initially) or to let himself die. Knowing that Bucky was not HIMSELF ever since he came back, he chooses to let Bucky fall to his death (or something like that) and Steve again becomes Cap. However, Cap is now colder and more dark than he was initially.
Having seen his best friend die in WWII, and now having to watch him die at Cap's hands in 2008, Cap will be a very cold person. He will represent the view of America from within...torn apart by bipartisan standards and beliefs that are a shadow of what they were initially meant to be.
On top of all of that, Cap and Iron Man will have to confront their past all over again.
Now, I also believe that we could be in for a not so subtle twist. Iron Man and Cap have come to an agreement to get Cap out of the way so the nation can heal. Cap goes into hiding (In Stark's alternate dimensional place) for awhile and Stark has an alternate Cap's body on display on the Raft. Cap gets buried, and America moves on with Bucky or maybe even John Walker as Cap again, or somebody like that. Anyway, Steve will come back once more with a new MO like he did when he wore black, white, and red and became The Captain.
Just give it time.

Orrrrrrr...maybe, just maybe Jack Monroe will somehow be brought back to prove to himself that he wasn't as bad as he thought he was.
I doubt it, but with today's writing you can never be too sure.

Let's hope this Cap dead thing gets resolved within a short period of time, but I'm kind of thinking it won't happen till the movie comes out, and boom Captain America returns!
