I certainly agree, and I still feel much can beg leaned from boxing ice returns.

Indeed.

A very good point, and I think it's the projection of such that's the main reason Chris Evans' films have been so popular worldwide, even when we as a country are not so much anymore.

And as a living representation of the country, Steve Rogers is not an acolyte of the Flag, or any political party, or even the military. He represents the People of America. An immigrant, I have looked up to this inherent goodness ever since I read about him as a child 30yrs ago. Captain America inspires people to…

Yup. Like GoT doesn't mind recycling old images from Season 4.

All good points.

I think the injection of writer opinion into the storyline is probably what bothers me about both. Granted, they're the writers / publishers, and it's their right.

Imagine a baby. A superpowered alien baby, raised before his first year through adulthood in a dictatorial propaganda machine as a weapon…

... so Batman's also a badguy this time around? Is that the only difference? (beside Nazi's of course, but if we're talking Purges - Stalin's no saint)

It's something even crazier.

And I apologize. I read this wrong and took off on a tear. Also applicable to your other reply. Thanks for the civility!

Fair enough. It's also shitty that T&A is still needed to sell sporting events / comic books / car shows / goddamned vape pens / beer / etc. in fucking 2015.

Yeah, well, if you don't want your orbital socket broken / elbow dislcoated / spleen ruptured / knee torqued out / etc. you're fighting for your professional life / ability to bring home groceries.

Yeah, but she's not a bully, esp. for making a very clear case in response to such an accusation.

You really don't understand fighting sports, do you? Just because a person's training up for a fight (to gain / lose weight to make class, to increase aerobic endurance, etc) doesn't mean they don't train year-round. Fighting, esp MMA is Technique. And if you're not doing that shit year round to commit to muscle…

Why can't it be both?

And, once again, Ronda Rousey, supposed D Level Fighter:

For a supposed D List fighter, Rousey's got one of the best female records out there, and her matches consistently sell tickets / ppv's. If anything, her shit-talking is straight from Muhammad Ali's fight-promotion playbook, and brings more attention to MMA as a whole, including the womens' pay issues.

Also, "full stop"? Please refer the telegraph service that posts your internet comments. I wish to retain their services.

That would totally explain your frustrations voiced here.

I'm just bustin' Cool_Breeze's balls (or ladyballs). It's all good.
