What are your thoughts on marvel makings captain America a hydra agent?

Ah, I knew I’d have to talk about this eventually. Okay let’s get into this.
Honestly, I’m in the “wait and see” camp because I’ve been in this comic game a long time. I’ve seen Peter Parker turn out to be a clone, Wolverine turn into a caveman, Scarlet Witch get possessed by an evil spirit or something (I don’t know it wasn’t really explained) and erase all the mutants, the New 52, and don’t even get me started on what happened to Speedball (poor Speedball).
I know that a lot of people are already jumping in and saying “How dare Marvel come in and change this character, make him a villain, a traitor! This is a disrespect to his creators!” And I’m just standing here like
He could be a double agent, this could be a con, or more than likely the Red Skull is the big villain he’s going up against, and the Red Skull has recently gained the telepathic powers of Professor X, it’s totally possible that he’s using his powers to implant fake memories in Caps brain to make him a Hydra agent. Or remember in Standoff Zemo was trying to create a cosmic cube that would let him rewrite reality, and Skull was hidden there among his army. Zemo had the cube for about a second before he was defeated, before he could use it. But at the end of the story the Skull was walking off as Zemo was defeated and told his daughter that his plans were now in motion. I wouldn’t be surprised if he touched the cube when no one was looking (using his psychic powers so they wouldn’t notice) or just used his Psychic powers on the cube after she turned back into a girl, and used that power to rewrite Roger’s history.
My point is there are lots of explanations for it, I’m sure it will all be fixed, and honestly it’s being written by Nick Spencer who has been killing it on everything he’s done over at Marvel so I’m more than willing to trust him on this. Plus over on the Sam Wilson Captain America series, which is also written by Spencer, he has Sam bring up many times that he had his own history rewritten by a Cosmic Cube before, so it seems like he’s been setting this up all along.
So I’m sure it’s just a storyline, and it could be a great storyline, but in the end it will all be fixed and Cap will be fine. And if you really are so upset about this that you don’t want to read this series anymore, well then just remember that there is another second Captain America book that really does capture the spirit of who Captain America should be, and it needs your business.

Also, good thoughts
DEADPOOL!!!
Congrats to Fox and everyone involved especially Deadpool’s daddies, Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld as well as all the great creators like Joe Kelly and Ed McGuinness who have made him the man or whatever he is today. And a special shout out to Director Tim Miller who’s love for comics is truly resonating with movie goers.
Most people may not know or even remember but close to 10 years ago Tim and I worked on a Marvel project together.
As we at Marvel began plans on the first Iron Man movie our focus group research showed that we had some serious awareness issues with the character, especially amongst kids. One of the major takeaways was that kids who had zero knowledge of the character had no interest in him because they thought he was a robot. But when they found out that there was someone in the suit suddenly interest went off the charts and they wanted to know all about him and who could build no less kick ass in such awesome armor. Information like that helped us sculpt a plan to build awareness way in advance of the movie.
In early 2007 Marvel assigned a small group of us to create what would eventually be called Iron Man Advertorials: Three animated shorts with a simple clean story that would introduce Iron Man to younger viewers using our two most recognizable characters at the time as bait. Our marching orders were to…
1- Clearly demonstrate that there was a man inside the armor.
2- Show off his wide range of cool powers.
3- Position him clearly as a hero on the same level as Spidey and Hulk by having those characters show how cool they perceive him to be and valued him as a peer.
We also felt that if we really wanted to grab kids attention we needed to go high level CGI and Marvel gave us the budget to do it. This was a huge vote of confidence at that time because things were still tight in those days. That’s where Tim and the incredible team at Blur came in and knocked this assignment out of the park. Working with Tim was a joy (you’d have trouble finding a nicer more creative guy) and immediately his love of all things Marvel and comics was evident. He took the scripts and created beautifully visceral action scenes while never forgetting to keep things lighthearted with the classic Marvel sense of humor running throughout. Attached is episode one, two and three to follow. Considering how long ago these were created and how far computer graphics have come, I think the shorts hold up pretty darn well and what always makes me smile when I watch them are the little bits and pieces that would later come to influence certain moments in our films. See if you can spot them. What’s also fun to see is how even back then Tim’s wonderful and mad cap directorial skill was clearly evident.
Congrats Deadpool, congrats to the creative teams and congrats to the comic industry, fans and pros alike. Over the last decade comics have changed the face of popular culture and none of this happens without you. Deadpool is just another example of what the industry, it’s people and its ideas are capable of.

This gif is from a banned short film which takes its inspiration from greg rucka’s fantastic run. It was banned by Marvel because they are poopy heads.
This is the short trailer which made all the nipples go boing!
