It's this kind of shit that pisses me off.
Hey, Comrades, I heard there's still a little kid in Newark who believes in Santa Claus. Perhaps if you're fast enough, you can totally crush her spirit as well.
What the fuck is wrong with this country?

They Killed Captain America

It shouldn't piss you off. Captain America was killed because he refused to comply with the Superhero Registration Act. Cap's assassination is a comment on the state of America in these days of the Patriot Act and the "War on Terror". He'll be back.
That makes sense, but I think it's a pretty grim assessment of our superheroes when they're cast as gigantic wussies.
I mean, really, isn't the point of a Superhero someone who could go over there, round up all the bad guys, and end this thing in one day? If he could get killed by a bullet, I'm pretty sure he'd get winded in a fight. I'm not having a superhero who will get winded in a fight.
Or did Superman just set the bar too high?
From what I gather, the army injected Cap with a serum that made him stronger and gave him made fighting skills. So instead of a superhero, wasn't he just an American version of Bruce Lee?
