Poll: Are you enjoying Ed Brubaker's Captain America?

[Darthphere]

Whatever most people here just get mad when i explain different sides. All im saying is that it could be fake and your like no its real because they're in the comic and buckys alive because they say he is.

 

[MyPokerShirt]

Deep down, he loves the book.

 

[The Cleric]

better yet... why care?

 

[CBK]

I voted now..happy...Its kinda hard for me to say i hate it..I love the Action Cap moments just not the story so much. They should go foward not backwards. Think of something new without going to the past.

I used to stationed on an aircraft carrier. The flight deck is considered one of the most dangerous places to work. I have seen quite a few planes explode and kill everyone in the vicinity. You have to take into account shrapnel from the plane which should have shredded Bucky, the jet fuel which should have burned him alive, the fall into the water, and the waters being so cold that sent Cap into suspended animation as soon as he went under. Now if you want to believe that a one armed Bucky could survive all that still any sub wouldnt have gotten to him in time.

Ok, Ok. Heh.

I understand you.

I mean, this is a COMIC BOOK. This is also the same universe where a spider absorbed radioactivity, bit a teenager, and caused him to have spider-like strength and agility.

This is also the same universe where a wimpy scientist was smacked dab in the middle of a gamma bomb and when he gets angry he morphs into a giant green monster.

90 percent of the characters in the Marvel Universe should be dead if you're going to think like that.

Trust me though, it's possible he could survive, and he did. Because he was just in the latest issue of Captain America, about to assassinate some Lukin ass.

Exactly, I dont know why people are focusing so much on that one aspect.

i was just hopin, despite the criticism, you werent backing down. i dont like it when people are forced off an opinion. then again it woulda been nice if you'd reread it and decided you were wrong by yourself. but whatever.

I got it, next issue Cap fights big purple cyborg giraffe, thats new.

 

[CBK]

re-read what? Captain America? I re read them all the time..doesnt make it any better. I'm glad people enjoy captain america and I hope everyone buys it. People must think that just becuase I don't like this current storyline (by the way is now 20issues deep) I shouldnt read cap ever or I'm stopping people from buying it. I want Cap to be the no.1 comic. I'm a big cap fan..i just recently bought the marvel legends Captain america icons edition where hes 12"/30cm with over 30points of aticulation..pretty cool...anyway...i dont put people down for liking ed brus cap..I'm glad everyone seems to like it. doesnt mean i have to.

 

[CBK]

Now your just being a jerk Darthphere.

 

[MyPokerShirt]

just now? you sure?? joke... *sheepishly runs away*

Yeah I agree with this.

If the explosion didn't kill Bucky the water should of finished the job. Most suicidal people cut there wrists and go in a tub filled with water. Why? Because water makes you lose your blood faster now if your ****ing arm is riped off....well bucky should of died blood loss.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Maybe the explosion cauterized the wound. Like a lightsaber. Maybe there was even a lightsaber on the drone plane. You don't know.

Yeah I agree with this.

I fully believe you're a jerk at least 70% of the time. You must be, after all. It's in your ASSHAT membership contract.

I believe all that because I believed it as a kid...however to believe something like that especially with my knowledge of planes and the things I have seen is crazy.

I've not been involved in this discussion up to this point, but I'll repeat what others have brought up:


IT'S A COMIC


You can suspend a certain amount of disbelief, least of all that someone could survive an airplane explosion (that he didn't even walk away unscathed from)

I mean, you're arguing about whether or not he could survive a plane exploding, but meanwhile he's walking around with a fully functioning cybernetic arm.... and no one's arguing about the realism of that because it doesn't phase them at all

 

[Elijya]

ok, roach, if you exploded a million planes with a million guys hanging on to each one, there's a possibility at least one wouldn't be killed from it, right? I mean, you do it enough times, surely one guy's got to beat the odds, right?


Then Bucky just survived a million-to-one chance. Just like Peter Parker did when a radioactive Spider gave him powers instead of lukemia. Just like Bruce Banner did when he became the Hulk instead of being blasted to smithereens. Just like that Fantastic Four did when they flew through a storm of cosmic radiation with poor shielding and didn't explode on reentry.

It's like that FBI guy said in Daredevil when they figured out he was Matt Murdock "You know what would happen to me if I was struck in the face with a radioactive isotope? I would get cancer and die." Superhero comics are about the guys who beat the odds to have something incredible happen to them, not the normal Joe Schmoes who don't get so lucky.

Yes, but they do it in a tub of warm water. Didn't Cap get frozen in the same water that Bucky fell in?

In the end, Elijya and others said it all. It's a comic. Take webswinging. If it were even remotely possible to do in real-life, if even just with ropes, they wouldn't have waited until the advent of CGI to do it in the movies. How about all the bounding around buildings that "street level" heroes do. Does anybody seriously think that even trying this wouldn't result in a lot of splatto in NYC? Almost all teh action in a superhero comic is so far out of the realm of possibility, it really isn't worth discussing that much. Either you buy that there is a hidden school of magic that a little kid from England attends, with all the requisite defying of physics, or you don't, and you don't buy any Harry Potter. Same with Marvel. Bucky's survival explanation isn't even close to being as extreme as some other things that have happened in the MU. So, if you can't buy that, I don't understand why you would buy the rest.

 

[CBK]

Just let them have thier lame bucky story they don't want to listen to reason.

 

[Darthphere]

LOL! CBK is so jaded.

 

[Elijya]

yeah, 44 to 2 in favor of, and WE'RE jaded

Honestly I question Spider-man's origin as well but because I believed it as a kid i sort of accept it now....Bucky surviving the explosion is beyond the realm of belief for me. Yes I know it's a comic but that went into the red for me

 

[roach]

LOL! CBK is so jaded.

we dont all have to like something...and that is what turned me off about his run on CA
