The Super American

WWII has been over for 66 years & for some reason those responsible for the production of captain america: the first avenger think that now is a good time to bring back a douche bag who was originally called “super american” by his creator, joe simon (an obviously generic label amongst all the other “super” heroes that was even too much for the morons at marvel to run with), & so the captain was born because “there weren’t a lot of captains” in comics. originally this super american punched hitler in the face & sold almost a million copies when that first march 1941 issue hit the newsstands, capitalizing on a war fervor that was explosive in the US before pearl harbor had even been attacked--- super american & his sidekick “bucky” went on to fight more nazis & the japanese until bucky died & was replace by “betsy ross,” the super american’s fbi agent girlfriend--- modeled on the woman who is said to have sewn the first american flag, betsy did not revive the dying series, mainly because the nationalism that was burning bright during “the great war” had burnt out during the cold war period & so the captain & his flag sewing girlfriend ended up ceasing after 75 issues, by which time the whole fiasco had been retitled captain america’s weird tales--- such justice doesn’t happen often, it is a shame that it took 75 issues to bring it about. now that this new film is about to be release out into the world, given the state of america’s wonderful reputation (a bit different than in 1941) as the world’s policeman who stops at nothing to rape this planet of its natural resources, squeezing every last drop into its own mouth, one might wonder how the producers of this film expected to bring in a dime--- isn’t it bad enough that bombs, troops & drones are storming into other countries? now we have to throw it up on the silver screen as well? it turns out that the film’s title is to be changed for release in russia, south korea & the ukraine to only the first avenger. just what exactly is this super american avenging now? it seems that now the big bad boogeyman is us & if there was anyone to be avenged, it would be those that we have stomped on, those that we continue to stomp on & those who we plan on stomping on in the future.
