I'm so much in agreement with you that my neck hurts from nodding so hard in solidarity. I've been saying this about Superman for a long time, but only after the Winter Soldier film did I put together the specific way in which the MCU "gets it" that WB/DC does not.

They wouldn't be famous if they weren't so "in-demand." They are just giving the public what it wants. Simple

I loved that scene. Also the perfect demonstration was when Colonel Phillips was questioning Erskine's choice during training and threw the grenade. Rogers first instinct was to protect others with no thought for himself. That nailed it for me. Everything he does is for the greater good. Instead of trying to live up…

To me, what sets Cap apart is that, deep down, he's really just grateful to be here. Most superheroes don't want to be super heroes until they feel like they have to be. Superman just wanted to fit in, Batman felt like he had no choice but to fight crime, Spidey was in it for the money until his selfishness cost a…

I will agree that Captain America is psychologically well-adjusted. However, I think the real secret to Cap, which other brands have never been quite able to imitate, is that he is the real American Patriotic Ideal. That is, he's not a knee-jerk, jingoist, 'America Love it or Leave it', patriot. He's a 'That's not…

I'm enjoying this little Cap love fest though I know it will pass and I'll once again be alone in the wilderness, but while we're here let's point out that Cap is far from alone. Cap is one of those I like to call "true blues" starting with the big blue boy scout himself (speaking of often imitated, never duplicated).…

Evans conveys absolute decency and honor without a scrap of priggishness. I agree it is a very nice job of acting mostly taken for granted.

In the movie they show the Dr. explaining why he chose Steve Rogers. I actually have the clip, but can't post it for the usual copyright reasons.

Hi!

Hes just a kid from Brooklyn who doesnt like bullies.

Lysol was like the panacea for everything at one point, I think— but ugggh, the douche ads are the bloodcurdling eyecrossing hairraising WORST!

silicone, not silicon. nobody's filling their butt with microchips.... yet.

Not sure, but it may well be one of the greatest headlines in history.

And my personal favourite, Lysol was once marketed as a vaginal douche.

Gothic Rapper on Trial For Butt Injection Death Name-Drops Amber Rose

DEATH DROP SUPER POST, Y'ALL!!!!

Stop trying to make Amber Rose happen.

It was, but I am insatiable. I need more. I also love the ones where readers submit shade questions of their own to be deliberated. I would do it myself, but I work from home and what with this god awful cold, I rarely get out to see anyone other than my husband. And he knows not to shade me.

"Shade" is the new "Ironic" — everybody uses it but almost no one really knows what it means.

I find Arquette's approach to feminism problematic because it reinforces the notion that there is competition among marginalized groups. The fact is that the median annual earnings of black men is 75% as a precentage of the median earnings for white men; Hispanic men earn 67% of white men's salary; white women? 81%.…
