That's because the parties swapped voter bases during the civil rights movement. Google "The Southern Strategy".

We hates it forever!

Person1: "It gets old?"

Not to mention that General Ross is personally responsible for much of Harlem being flattened because he just couldn't leave the Hulk alone, so he doesn't really have any room to talk.

Did he lose his nose that time too?

*glances at her kindle*

Said adaptation replaced Silver Surfer with Beta Ray Bill of all people, too.

For most of their history the Avengers have chosen their leader through semi-annual elections, so the leadership of the team routinely changes. Cap has frequently served on teams led by the other members.

They were under the control of a political body in the first Avengers. Said political body tried to nuke Manhattan. Steve's definitely got a valid point ;)

Yeah, the Avengers were never "popular". There's a reason that when Marvel Studios started up, they still had the rights to all of the primary Avengers.

I really liked where they were going with Zemo back then. "If I can't kill all the lesser people, I will raise them up instead!" Totally in-line with his racist ideology, still completely missing the point about how wrong he is, but now he's HELPING people. He was good and noble for every possible wrong reason. …

Spidey is my wife's favorite, too, and she loved every second of him in Cap3. Her only demand for the eventual Spidey solo movie is that it NOT be another origin story. We all know it already. Doing it again is beating a dead horse or, as she put it, "shooting a dead uncle."

And Age of Ultron didn't open with destruction of an African city, it opened in the same city it ended in.

Civil War is why I stopped reading comics.

Holy crap I found it! It was apparently Marcie, not Lucy, and it's just two panels where I remember it as a Sunday strip. I wonder if this is one of the ones that got recycled a couple times…

Holy crap, that's depressing.

My favorite Peanuts strips is one of the later ones when the strip was starting to fall into lunacy. It involves Lucy (i believe) standing next to Snoopy's doghouse opining on the great wisdom he must possess and the truly wondrous things he could tell us if only he could speak.

I loved Ant-Man specifically because the very first time I saw Pym's keychain I said "That had better actually be a real tank."

Those executives will then be fired upon returning to the office. Learning the right way to make a superhero movie is against corporate policy.

The key to the Byrne story is that it was originally Lee's idea, as I recall. He had said something about how he wanted to do a reveal that under the mask Doom just had a tiny little scar on one cheek or something. Might have been Kirby's idea. I forget the details and don't have my giant Marvel reference book at…
