If the editorial said something nice, we'd be seeing glowing words about how great it was that they covered it. We're saying that the newspaper person's opinion is embarrassing, but the defense of the issue is that the original Captain America was essentially a steroid user? Oy!

The guy is an amazing writer and has made the death of Cap and Bucky's replacement of him work in the best way. Seems like your typical instance of a reporter trying to churn out an article based on a single image without reading/doing research. B) Cap's always contested ground since he wears the flag and all that and the best writers on the series have always played with that notion: What is America? And what SHOULD it be?

Considering Cap, especially Bucky-Cap, has been written as the ultimate cross between Bauer and Rambo for going on three years, it made perfect sense for his character to use a gun, and it was far from gratuitous. ridiculous! he’s a SOLDIER. soldier’s use guns! no one calls Jack Bauer or John Rambo “gangbangers” when they use guns to fight injustice (and how outdated is that term, anyway?).

It shames me to be from South Florida sometimes, I apologize on their behalf. You would think that the South Florida Sun-Sentinel would focus on some more important issues.
