Captain Britain and MI-13

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, first time I've liked him in the comics.

Question about that came up on the latest CUP O' JOE on CBR:

Kiel Phegley: I am a cheap, cheap man. Lastly, Hypestyle asks: "Will we see more Blade now that ‘MI13’ is ending? I'd like to see John Romita, Jr. do the art on a mini."

Joe Quesada: There are no plans right now for Blade. He happens to be one of my all time favorite characters too, so I'm assuming we'll see him somewhere down the road, but right now there aren't any plans for him. With respect to Johnny, if he were to do something with Blade it'd be pretty far down the road as we've got him locked down for his next three projects and none of those involve the character. If I was a betting man, I would expect a Blade book sooner than I would expect Johnny to be drawing a Blade book.

Of course, this was before Joe Q literally gave a joyful internet shout-out to Damon Lindeloff; the writer who, let us not forget, was THREE YEARS LATE with scripts for an Ultimate mini-series. Yes, yes, LOST is still hot and that STAR TREK movie made like a billion or so, but still, paying Marvel customers and Marvel editorial, stiffed for some 30+ months on a script deadline. You'd think Joe wouldn't be practically giving Damon a blow job after that. But he is. To paraphrase an immortal SNL line, "Joe Quesada, you ignorant ****."

But, I digress.

CB&MI-13 actually made me like Blade, too. Who'd have thunk; all Blade needed was a decent supporting cast, to be well written, and especially, to have a side of him written when he ISN'T staking vampires, to imply that he is more than a slayer. Magic, right? Frankly, the real shame is that it took a decade after his film for someone like Cornell to figure that out with Blade.

Brubaker likes many of the old Invaders like Spitfire, but who knows when they'll show up in CAPTAIN AMERICA again. As for the rest of the characters, who knows. Hopefully Dane and Faiza's little relationship isn't forgotten.

I'm betting we never see Faiza again and if we do its only becuase of some story to do with Islam or for her to get killed.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Sounds like a safe bet. Maybe a meteor will hit England in Millar's next event.

Sure killing the english would probabley make a few scots north the border happy

Probably the Americans too....

 

[Manic]

You're like our only allies. We haven't wanted any of you dead since the 18th century.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

And even then, it's only 'cause you guys were kind of being jerks. You knew it, too.

 

[chamber-music]

Its funny when Americans are like we hate you because the Battle Of Independence and you have to explain to them no one alive right now was involved in that conflict and although it was a big defining part of the U.S history they themselves had no part in it and probabley neither did most of thier ancestors who probabley arrived after the conflict.

Also Britain has probabley more wars with other countries than every over nation on the planet through out its history so although its a big deal to them its just another war to us that they don't even teach in schools and most people could not tell you what even happened.

But anyway we been back you guys up in pretty much ever war of over the last 120 years except Vietnam. Alot of countries blame UK/US for the economic crisis and Iran even gave us nicknames (U.S big satan,U.K little satan) so we are pretty much your sidekick anyway.

 

[Manic]

Wait, there are still Americans who hate the UK? Seriously, the Brits are our #1 allies. We might crack jokes about your teeth and food, but doesn't every former colony get a little snippy with you?

 

[yenaled]

I've never met an American who actively hates the UK.

The other-way round is more common.

 

[chamber-music]

The foods got alot better he last 20 in Britain. Must be because of those cookery shows, British Chefs trained in France and Italy and more variety of ingredients in supermarkets.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh, that reminds me: I found a restaurant here that serves fish and chips with malted vinegar and everything. My friend's had the real thing in England and claims that this place's fish and chips are really good, so I'm gonna try it the next time I go there. It's funny because it's a chain restaurant, too. I wouldn't have expected a big chain to carry good random English cuisine.

 

[chamber-music]

Do they do Pie & Mash, saveloy or pickled onions?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Nope. Just the fish and chips. Everything else they serve is burgers and pizzas and such.

Strange. They should do Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding as well.....t:

The next time someone makes fun of English food, I want you to think back to this post.

 

[chamber-music]

sure it sounds funny but it tastes nice. There was this american comedien on the BBC the other night and his whole stand up routine was your foods funny names especaially F*****S which is a food other here although its also used as a gay slur like in the states.

Anyway we got apple and other kick ass puddings so its all good in the hood.

Theres nothing wrong with English food.....

You English and your bready puddings, meaty pies, fried pollock, and beans on toast. You disgust me. I'm going to go make some jambalaya.

Ha, Whats that then??

 

[Manic]

It's a spicy dish made from vegetables, shrimp, chicken, and a few other things all mixed into rice (or served on top of rice, depending on how the cook prepares it). It's a Creole dish from the American South. Most Creole (and Cajun too, if you want to include them) dishes are made from mixing French and Spanish cooking techniques.

Like all things in American culture, our original cuisine is made from the mixing of different cultures into something new. That's why our Chinese food is unrecognizable to the Chinese, and our pizza doesn't taste like Italian pizza.
