But above all this, I wish you love …

September 16th, 2008
Author Kevin Melrose

Am I the only person who thought of the poster for the 1992 Kevin Costner-Whitney Houston classic The Bodyguard when he saw the cover art for Marvel’s What If? Fallen Son: Captain America?

Yeah? Hm. Well, never mind then.

    almost every aspect of the two, save for being a depiction of one human being carrying another, are different.

    I’m thinking more about the end of “What’s Opera, Doc?” where Viking Elmer is carrying Bugs.

    “What did you expect in a What If? A happy ending?”

    I’m almost positive Tony is a better singer than Whitney. I heard that somewhere.

    I hope this doesn’t lead to Costner being cast as Cap

    I’m withholding judgment until Bobby Brown has his say.

    I think this is taking it’s cue more from famous depictions of Mary holding Jesus after he is taken off the cross- although usually she’s kneeling down, not walking with him.

    Gee, Cap must be stronger than I thought he was… or is that the strength of his man-love for his pal Tony?
