I Was Wrong About Captain America
Captain America Out of TIme Pt 1 Review(mildish Spoilers kinda)
So my first take on Captain America was that he was the pure definition of a Boy Scout, a Conformist /A flat-out Dork. Basically, the antithesis of what I think a hero should be. But by God almighty, I’ve never been more wrong. After reading Civil War, I saw in big bold letters detailing how I was being a dumbass.
A murderous introduction unfolds between my fingertips. 2 men attempt to have a conversation that has already left someone dead on the floor. I've known of The Red Skull for some time, but damn, his appearance should come with a warning label. Questioning why anyone would choose to be in a room not divided by thick concrete will forever boggle my mind.
Fear is all I know when staring into the crevices of this crimson plague. They barter for terrorist goods, while prying into each other's psyche. But neither of them are in possession of the cube. A mysterious object that we can just assume is bad news.
Despite not knowing how this weird square works, I do know that anybody with the courage or lack of brains to converse with such a demon is no saint himself. Power, forsaken morals, and depravity push against the walls of this warehouse. Tension burdens the air as I feel these 2 would rather kill each other than carry on with this exchange of words.
Some view business as business, no matter how much agony it’ll cause. Especially in today’s society, where oil prices rise on a whim, food is getting more expensive, all the while Artificial Intelligence devours all the fresh water. This world can change a man, and a hero is no different.
A dark tone casting a shadow over such a bright superhero is so captivating. I would say something is clearly off, but his demeanor is currently leaking aggression. Grinding his teeth so hard they fuse, every heroic action feels laced with anger. Knowing his nemesis is out there, waiting to make the perfect move, is enough to drive him insane.
The people in between Cap’ and his goal deserved an ass-beating, but damn Steve, you tossed one of them on a van going on a family vacation. With him clearly struggling through something, I wonder which path he’ll take to find his peace. But things get tricky when visions of the past become the roadblocks of today.
A whisper in the wind turns into tanks and bombshells. Looking at life bloom in a field of flowers can easily transform into a valley of carnage. At any moment, history morphs The Man Out Of Time into a victim of memories.
As the story moves further, all I can say is that a villain’s inner monologue is always a highlight. As my eyes gaze upon this Red, Unholy, Abomination Talk his shit, I couldn’t help but get goosebumps.
Patience can be deadly. To see the body and no soul is a hell of an experience. We stare into eyes so cold, death is peeking over our shoulder. A feeling that jumped off the pages and wrapped its hands around my thoughts.
The terror he desires to unleash pairs well with the horror encased in these borders. The nightmare fuels inks the panel, begging to set this series on fire. Even worse, my worries were realized when I saw what was in his hand. Something he’s been searching for an excruciating amount of time. A monster who yearns to sink its fangs into the arteries of society.
He was there, and I truly didn’t know what the hell Steve was going to do.
And then just like that,
Boom goes the Dynamite!
