Captain America, Sentimentalist to the End
So, Captain America is dead. Who knows for how long, but he’s certainly not alive in the Marvel Universe. I’m not thrilled about it. I mean, here we are, it’s been 66 years, and Marvel hasn’t exactly killed off their Superman, but Cap, well, he was a different breed. He swallowed some weird shit and became really strong so he could smash Nazis. I mean at times he was ridiculous; I have a comic I got for free from the dentist featuring Cap fighting plague monsters or something. But most of the time he was just pure, unadulterated Americana. Killing him off seems too political, or at least awkward. Anyway, the last thing he says is “Sharon…So Pretty…You take my breath.” Very romantic.
