Falcon is the new Captain America

[Mad Ones]

I didn't say Daken was homosexual. It's still erasure of any same sex attraction regarding Daken. It further drives home the point that when Daken is a sociopathic nut job he can have sex with men too, but when he has a happy life he has "normal" heterosexual relationships. But like I said, this is more of an issue I have with Daken and Marvel as whole, rather than just Remender.

But mutants absolutely have a shared culture. Morisson's run really emphasized that culture. And living through things like the Genoshan genocide and M-Day gives them a shared history. Even opening the Xavier School, Jean Grey School, etc and other steps for mutant rights creates a shared history as much as anything has created a shared history for LGBT people in the real world. And besides, the point is totally negated in his own comic when we see Wasp exploiting mutant fashion (an aspect of culture) for her own fashion line. There was even a museum of mutant history in Schism.

true enough
I think your point on Daken may be being a bit over-sensitive unless there are other instances of Marvel doing that to him
but I see what your sayin' on the second part

 

[CTFFFan]

If you're gonna avoid stories just because things will eventually go back to the classic status quo, you may as well give up on Marvel and DC's comics completely.

It isn't that, I'm just tired of them repeating the same story (either getting rid of by "killing" or in this cage aging Cap and replacing him" after the first few heroes dying and returning it was interesting, now they keep repeating the same story over and over.

I'm seriously happy for Sam Wilson, and I look forward to seeing him take over the mantel of Captain America!

And to be honest, I wouldn't mind if they let Sam keep the stars and stripes, even if Steve did get his power back.

I'm hoping that Marvel builds this comic up very well over time, to the point that he can be Captain America on the big screen, as early as maybe Phase 4.

I think Falcon looks good as Cap, makes sense. Does he get the super soldier formula?

Fair enough. The Big 2's comics always move in cycles, though. There's bound to be some repetition. As long as they apply some kind of new spin each time to keep me engaged, I'm okay with that.

-Yeah, with Evans wanting to move into directing, I'd much rather have Falcon take his place than Bucky.

I think it's a decent change for someone who was Caps partner for so long to take over the mantle even though we all know it's only going to be for a little while. Sams been hanging out with Cap since the 70's and he's pretty kickass on his own. I hope that he has some decent stories before they reboot Cap back to normal.

As for Daken from what I read by the writers they said that he doesn't really consider himself to have a sexuality, he just uses sex to get what he wants and doesn't care if his target is male or female. He uses his pheromones to make people fall in love with him and then does as he pleases.

I forget where I read it but they said that he's never really had either just a platonic relationship or a loving one. He's just been bred into becoming a user and taking what he wants no matter who it's from.

Sad I missed out on the fire Ric Remender t-war. I never forgave him for FrankenCastle.

people say that ALL the time to me, then when marvel and dc do something totally new and fresh, you same people complain that its different

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Doing something different isn't automatically the same as doing something good. Just like doing something unoriginal isn't automatically the same as doing something bad. The execution of the stories matters a lot more to me than whether or not their underlying concepts are novel.

 

[CTFFFan]

I realize after time it's impossible not to duplicate things, but how many more times are they going to replace Captain America? They just "killed" him off a few years ago now age him? How about doing that with someone else? This reminds me of the Amazing/Superior story except in this case it's just another person instead of Otto taking over Peter's body.

Good point. I am still buying the comic but I hope it isn't 2016 by the time Steve Rogers is "Cap" again.

 

[The Bat]

I'm so SICK of comic book companies pulling "Stunt Events" like this to drum up TEMPORY sales. It's so FRIGGIN' lame! Next thing you know, they'll make Thor a Girl,. or Spiderman Black...oh wait!

FrankenCastle was freaking awesome. It was a balls to the wall absolute joy of a read. Marvel needed a way to de-age the Punisher and Remender went all out in order to do so.

Usually I'd agree with you, but it makes perfect sense in this case. Falcon is a great three-dimensional character on his own and has a massive history with Steve Rogers.

From a storytelling perspective, it makes just as much sense as Bucky taking over. You're making it sound as if they pulled some random new generic minority character out of their ass and put him in the mantle of Cap.

 

[The Bat]

Look, I like Sam...he is a great character. But like CTFFFan just said..."how many more times are they going to replace Captain America? They just "killed" him off a few years ago now age him?"

It still smacks of Marvel pulling big STUNT events to intentionally cause controversy to boost sales. It's just such an over used trick that I'm tried of it...it gets OLD!

Nowadays I speak with my wallet. When Marvel(or DC) pulls this crap. I just cancel the book until things go back to normal. I never bought a single issue of the so called "Superior Spiderman.

THIS X10.

I'm glad someone else agrees with me. I swear the people that hated that book never ever gave it a shot reading it. It was a hell of a lot of fun.

That's why I don't mind it. Obviously Steve won't be gone for too long, so seeing what it would be like for Sam to be Captain America for a bit of time is an interesting concept that I think deserves exploring, even if just lasts the length of a miniseries. I say it's interesting because it makes sense and naturally fits both Falcon and Cap due to their history. That's the key difference here. That it feels natural, unlike Miles Morales or the female Thor. So I can respect the decision enough just based on that.

Plus, I don't think anyone is trying to fool people into thinking Sam is replacing Steve for good, or even that he'll stick around as Cap for a long while. But after so many decades of Steve Rogers stories, I don't think there's any harm in taking a year or two off to see what it would be like if the Falcon took over. Especially since, as I already said, it's kinda to be expected given their history.

I'm sorry you never read Superior Spider-man, it was a great story.

There are some stories that can't be told with their heroes still in the status quo. Is a story about Thor being unworthy or Steve Rogers being an old man automatically not worth reading just because they have to alter the status quo? Change isn't inherently bad, personally I get bored when my favorite characters stay the same for decades without any real development. Just look at Spider-Man, it took Doc Ock taking over his body for him to finally move on in life.

maybe Reed Richards will wake up and be the Thing! or Logan will don an iron suit and be Iron Man! Lets make Matt Murdock the Hulk! We'll play musical super heroes!

 

[roach]

We all know Steve will be back but he will create Captain America IND. He will travel the country and create a new Captain America in the each of the states

LMAO!! LOVE IT!!

Ya know, I guess my problem is I'm to damn old and unbending. I'm 49 years old and I'm been reading comics since I learned to read.
So...I like my favorite Heroes as I remember them: Peter Parker is Spiderman, Steve Rogers is Cap, Bruce Wayne is Batman, etc...

I can't help it, I'm an old fart. Plus, killing them or replacing them with other people has been done to DEATH. It just gets old...and yet the creators act like they're being innovative or something.

 

[Mad Ones]

Do you want them to do something new or do you want them to keep everything exactly the same? You're giving contradictory messages, like a lot of fans who are overreacting to changes.
