COMICS: 'Cap' Takes Flight In SAM WILSON, CAPTAIN AMERICA #1 Preview

@ComicsBornAndBred me too, me too

I actually agree with Jollem for once.

Dang SuperCat got some big feet.

Starting now I will like everything the big two put out, will not hate or disagree with any changes. My eyes are now open and now I see.

I'm just going to take @Gdub510's comment as a form of biting satire towards the comic book community, because I don't know what else to do with it.

i admit that i haven't read any of these so don't know why Steve's wrinkly and Sam's now cap, but for me Bucky Cap was the best stand in, but i like bucky being the watcher on the wall.

So they're keeping the whole instant ageing of Steve Rogers?
Wouldn't it have been better, this being a new universe, to just have him be old? Or better yet, for him to have never thawed from the ice?

That's exactly what I hate about the new Wonder Woman origin. She's a superhero because she's the daughter of Zeus? Jor-El and Lara were just regular Kryptonians with no superpowers. Thomas and Martha Wayne were rich, but not super-powered. But Wonder Woman can't have superpowers without inheriting them from a male god? Now, instead of being her own Woman, she is simply a daughter. It's super-nepotism. You know who her father was before the revamp? Nobody, that's who. Like Jesus. That's part of what made her special. She was made from the clay of mother Gaia. Like the first woman or man of many ancient mythologies.

Sorry. That rant was completely uncalled for and almost entirely irrelevant to the topic at hand.

Who is that Wolverine/Daredevil combo guy?

Sam Wilson makes a terrible Captain. I don't mind him getting a codename swap. It's just a shame it had to be this one.
But my issue is with Sam Wilson's character and the weak writing, not his skin or costume. Don't let it bother you that Falcon stole a white guy's identity. The original Falcon was a white guy too.

LOL!
That guy thinks Jesus was real.

I hate the idea of "Wonder Woman the demigod". Demigods in Greek mythology are a dime a dozen, because Greek gods notably couldn't keep it in their pants.

The mantle of "demigod" isn't special. Wonder Woman's original origin story, however, was unique and primal-- the fact that she was LITERALLY fashioned from the clay of the Earth made her a pure, mythic being, akin to a female Adam (albeit one who could lift a semi-truck over her head). She was also, quite pointedly, fatherless; she's a personification of femininity AND power, and it comes entirely from herself and from the Gods (here representative of nature).

Her NEW origin, however, makes her the product of an adulterous tryst-- not only does she have a father that she inherited all of her power from, but she has a deadbeat scumbag father who abandoned her and her mother to be taken care of by his own wife (Hera is the benefactor of Themyscira). Wonder Woman is now a bastard.

I hate this retcon SO, SO MUCH... and if the movie ends up adopting the "demigod" angle because it's easier to explain or whatever, I will disown Warner Bros. for the rest of my days.

... But anyway, yeah, I'm not fond of Sam Wilson as Captain America. Mostly just because his "half-Cap, half-Falcon" costume unequivocally sucks.

(EDIT NOTE: I changed my comparison of Wonder Woman from "Eve" to "a female Adam" because the myth of Eve suggests she was fashioned from Adam's rib... meaning that, even though she had no parents, she was still the product of a man. And also meaning that Adam was in a relationship with his own female clone, apparently.)
