Wall Banger/Comic Books: Difference between revisions

Line 141:

* ''Captain America: Steve Rogers #1'' just revealed that after the 'Secret Wars' continuity reboot of 2015, Steve Rogers is now and has been since the 1930s ''a double agent for HYDRA''. Yes, that's right, Captain America was secretly a Nazi world domination cultist all along. I believe I speak for the entire fanbase here when I say '''what the fucking hell?!?'''

** Sure, its almost certainly going to be retconned into 'Not a dream! Not an imaginary story!' territory within six months, but seriously, Steve Rogers going "Hail Hydra!"? You shouldn't do that crap for even six ''seconds'', unless you're well into What If territory. Which this is not.

*** The writer, Nick Spencer, [[Word of God has repeatedly affirmed in interviews]] that this is not a case of Cap clone, Cap mind control, Cap possession, or similar, and that the story arc is intended to portray that Steve Rogers has willingly been a believer in HYDRA ideals since his mother was inducted into a HYDRA cell in the 1930s. So one of two things is true; either the creator is deliberately lying to the fanbase to build up cheap suspense (which has happened at Marvel before), or else this plot twist is as genuinely awful as it appears to be. Neither alternative is remotely palatable.
