Favorite Captain America (other than Steve Rogers)?
Favorite Captain America (other than Steve Rogers)
by MajorHoy Sat Aug 02, 2014 3:00 am
Since including Steve would seem a tad . . . unfair, who else would be your favorite Captain America? (Though I'm also wondering how this list will play out.)
The list to choose from is:
* William Nasland (had been Spirit of '76; retroactively first replacement for Steve Rogers)
* Jeffrey Mace (had previously been The Patriot; took over after death of Nasland as Cap)
- - both of the above seen in What If . . . ? #4
* William Burnside (retroactively the 1950s Cap as revealed in Captain America #153 - 156 back in 1972)
* Roscoe Simons (briefly replaced Steve when Steve became Nomad; was killed off in Captain America #183 back in 1975)
* John Walker (was Super-Patriot; assumed the role of Captain America in issue #333 (1987) and then later became U.S. Agent wearing Steve's "The Captain" outfit)
* James Buchanan Barnes ("Bucky"; also uses the Winter Soldier identity . . . took on the identity of Captain America after Steve was shot and believed dead in 2007)
* Sam Wilson (better known as The Falcon)
* Shannon Carter, "American Dream" (from the MC2 Universe; see Captain America Corps)
* Kiyoshi Morales, "Commander A" (from the 25th Century; see Captain America Corps)

Since you don't have Captain Formerly-13-British-Colonies, can I vote for None of the Above?

Only just seen this!
For me, there's no question about it-John Walker. He's one of my favourite Marvel characters. Though he's a little too liberal for my tastes...

I'm not sure if your definition for "liberal" would be the same thing as the definition of "liberal" here in United States politics?tony ingram wrote:For me, there's no question about it-John Walker. He's one of my favourite Marvel characters. Though he's a little too liberal for my tastes...
The OED defines "liberal" as:
Somehow, I'm not sure if/how exactly those would apply to the guy who became U.S. Agent.1. Willing to respect or accept behaviour or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas.
1.1 Favourable to or respectful of individual rights and freedoms.
1.2 (in a political context) favouring individual liberty, free trade, and moderate political and social reform.

I think perhaps you missed the joke. A surprising amount of British humour is based on irony.MajorHoy wrote:I'm not sure if your definition for "liberal" would be the same thing as the definition of "liberal" here in United States politics?tony ingram wrote:For me, there's no question about it-John Walker.

Ah, that's the problem: "irony" doesn't translate quite as well in a flat medium like internet messages without tone of voice or facial expressions to add to what is being "said".tony ingram wrote:I think perhaps you missed the joke. A surprising amount of British humour is based on irony.

But that would have lightened the tone too much, irony and smilies do not go together in my opinion. Unless they are, themselves, being used ironically.MajorHoy wrote:Ah, that's the problem: "irony" doesn't translate quite as well in a flat medium like internet messages without tone of voice or facial expressions to add to what is being "said".tony ingram wrote:I think perhaps you missed the joke.

Perhaps Tony's response (now that it's been explained to me) felt more like sarcasm than what I think of as irony.Lucy McGough wrote:But lots of novels use irony.MajorHoy wrote:Ah, that's the problem: "irony" doesn't translate quite as well in a flat medium like internet messages without tone of voice or facial expressions to add to what is being "said".

This is obviously one of those cultural differences that creep up on you when you're not expecting them.

Chips are what you have with fish fingers.
Fries are like chips, but thinner. You get them in McDonald's.
Crisps come in a bag and are a snack. You get them in different flavours, like ready salted, salt and vinegar, cheese and onion or prawn cocktail.

Fish Fingers are basically flattened cyclinders full of minced white fish sealed in a coating of breadcrumbs, and are frequently served with chips and ketchup. They are a traditional favourite of British kids.MajorHoy wrote:The idea of fish with hands and fingers is a tad on the disturbing side . . .Lucy McGough wrote:Chips are what you have with fish fingers.

I assumed as much, but over here we are more likely to have "fish sticks".tony ingram wrote:Fish Fingers are basically flattened cyclinders full of minced white fish sealed in a coating of breadcrumbs, and are frequently served with chips and ketchup.

"Chicken fingers" are quite common here in the states . . . and there's also a creepiness factor if one actually imagines poultry with hands and appropriate appendages.

Ah, no! See, I've heard aAmericans refer to fish fingers as "fish sticks" before, but in Britain, Fish Sticks are something completely diferent; Surimi sticks, basically.MajorHoy wrote:I assumed as much, but over here we are more likely to have "fish sticks".tony ingram wrote:Fish Fingers are basically flattened cyclinders full of minced white fish sealed in a coating of breadcrumbs, and are frequently served with chips and ketchup.

Never seen those. The fish sticks I'm used to are a Surimi stick, red and white, eaten cold.MajorHoy wrote:tony ingram wrote:Ah, no!

That's okay. I've never heard of "Captain Birds Eye" before.tony ingram wrote:Never seen those. The fish sticks I'm used to are a Surimi stick, red and white, eaten cold.
This is what we think of in terms of "Birds Eye" over here.
And, believe it or not, Clarence Birdseye, the guy who the company takes its name from, was apparently born in Brooklyn, NY (where my Dad was from) and then grew up in Montclair, New Jersey (where I grew up), even attending Montclair High School (which I graduated from, though he did it well before I was born).

The real Captain Birdseye...was American?
I feel like I've been lied to my whole life.

this is getting worse and worse!!!!

My brain makes THIS connection:
Blackadder:
Baldrick, have you no idea what "irony" is?
Baldrick:
Yes, it's like "goldy" and "bronzy" only it's made out of iron.

I thought people would more likely dip their fish-thingies in tartar / tartare sauce?

I think Tartar sauce is a bit too upmarket for fish fingers, really. It's ketchup or nothing.
