can you change my mind?


go

Yeah go read Brubaker's Cap run. If you have already and still don't think Bucky is cool then there's no hope in changing your opinion.

What Marvel has done with Bucky post-Brubaker has been an absolute travesty.

If they had any courage at all they would have let the mantle of Captain America permanently pass to Bucky so that a Captain America book might be more than tired retreads of WW2 flashbacks.

Falcon as Captain America. Pah.

Falcon as Cap isn't the issue. Sam Wilson is and always has been a great character. It's wrong time, wrong place.

They successfully transitioned Bucky into the Cap role and then forcibly shoe-horned Steve Rogers back into the role just because the movie was coming out, a sell out move IMO.

They could have left Bucky as Cap, left Steve as in the Commander role then did the same story with the Iron Nail aging him putting us in the same place instead of a retread plot only a few years after the first time they did it. Instead Falcon is in the role which is getting a lukewarm reception at best and Bucky is left in limbo sitting on a wall in space.

I don't think Bucky should have been left as Cap. Falcon makes much more sense as a replacement. BUT the way they shoehorned Steve back in time for the movie was still irksome. If they pull that stunt with Sam....

You may want to stop reading now then...

I'm okay with Steve as Captain America. Mainly because we all kind of need to be okay with it because that's what it'll always snap back to. I mean, back when DC had a bunch of legacy characters, we could fool ourselves into thinking that maybe the Silver Age characters could permanently move on and be replaced, but believing that has been just plain stupid since Hal Jordan and Barry Allen came back after decades out of the spotlight.
