![]() The shock of seeing Steve Rogers saying “hail Hydra” is just that shock. ![]() Take a deep breath and really consider this.ģ – "Hail Hydra" has not, NOT, erased your childhood in any way. But Marvel’s ultimate hero is not a Hydra agent. The story may well go on to stick with the premise for a number of issues. It is a cliff hanger designed to make you buy the second issue. The final page of Captain America sure made it look that way, but if you truly believe that this story will ultimately end up with Captain America being a Hydra sleeper agent, then this is either the first comic book you have ever read, or you are certifiably the stupidest person in the world ever. If you equate one with the other, you should probably get some rest.Ģ – Captain America is not a member of Hydra. There is a fairly large distinction to be made there. Even if he is a member of Hydra (see next point) that does not mean he is a Nazi. You are officially disgusting.īut if you need convincing (if you do then comic book outrage is probably the least of your problems), keeping in mind the following facts might help you cope with your "Hail Hydra" irrationality.ġ – Captain America is not anti-Semitic. It is a dark and unforgivable thing to accuse somebody, or a company, of something so vile, when they must know in their hearts it is not true. But throwing around the ‘anti-Semitic’ card is turning that outrage up to 12. Of all the geek sub culture enthusiasts, comic book fans probably have the most storied track record for attaching unreasonable levels of importance to things that are really quite unimportant. No one should be shocked at the comic book fan community’s tendency for demented behaviour when things don’t go their way. Many of these comments went so far as to accuse Marvel of being anti-Semitic. Marvel’s Tom Brevoort was inundated with angry, borderline abusive tweets and emails about the twist ending of the latest Captain America series. In fact, living under a rock probably wouldn’t have insulated you from this ‘internet melting’ news, as most rocks actually have Wi-Fi these days. Unless you have been living under a rock for the last week, you will most likely be aware that Captain America has been a Hydra sleeper agent since the 1940s. Chris Evans can hear the Internet's childhood being erased ![]()
