So I rarely if ever post content not directly related to RPGs. However this stunt Marvel has pulled with Captain America really bothers me on a fundamental level and involves the misuse / retconning of beloved characters which can of course also happen with other IP like RPG franchises. Where is the line? I feel Marvel has crossed it.
I know the Codex doesn't have a lot of sympathy for butthurt (and I don't always either) but this personally goes beyond the pale for me with Marvel. I am surprised how upset I am about what they did to Captain America.
Consider this: Marvel took their patriotic, pure and incorruptible WW II character created by Jewish immigrants to fight the Nazis (who killed millions of Jews), and then suddenly said he has really been a Nazi all along. And they did it right before Memorial Day, when we remember those who have died in our wars. Unbelievable.

I mean even I would boycott writers that lazy who can't think of anything better than a "shocking twist" turning the hero upside down, just to retcon it later, but that outrage is really a bit embarrassing.

Heil Hydra!
Seriously though, which fucking point?
That something must be WRONG with them?
Calm down, dude.
Captain Sillypants is indeed just a comic book.

Heh, your replies are pretty funny to some of those commenters too. And more than 2x the views of your previous videos. Gj all around
Tuning in.
EDIT: Way to spoil the Matrix for me Shane.
Crap I said that out loud???Close. sstacks just told felipepe that he loves his accent.
Latest preview has a nice review on Sunless Sea, from 2015. And I'm trying to get George from SuperBunnyHop back to do Twicther 3. :3Can you ask him how far the book will go in terms of modern years? I see 2014, but will it stop there? I can understand that he can't continue adding to his book as it'll never be finished, but is 2014 basically the cutoff point?
You need tworment and copper dreams though.Latest preview has a nice review on Sunless Sea, from 2015.

But that might be my cutting point, reviews of this kind are better done in hindsight, and as you said, I can't keep adding them forever...
