Captain America @ MindSay

Source: Marvel Entertainment

Marvel Entertainment released their first quarter report to its shareholders this morning to coincide with the announcement about the success this past weekend of Marvel Studios' first production Iron Man, which grossed an estimated $104.2 million domestically and over $201 million worldwide. The announcement included an update of Marvel Studios' feature film slate with the already-rumored Iron Man 2 announced for a release on April 30, 2010, followed by three more movies for the summers of '10 and '11. Matthew Vaughn's Thor is set for a release on June 4, 2010, and The First Avenger: Captain America (the working title) will kick off the summer of 2011 on May 6, followed by the highly-anticipated and foreshadowed The Avengers scheduled for July 2011. (Edgar Wright's Ant-Man is also listed as being in development with no release date set.)

In a conference call this morning, Marvel Studios' David Maisel said that Iron Man 2 will be used to introduce Thor. Regarding more "Hulk" movies, Maisel said "We definitely plan on continuing." He added that development continues on Spider-Man 4. "I can't give any other updates other than to say it's in development and everybody's excited about 'Spider-Man 4,'" he said.

With that in mind, one can start expecting a lot more announcements in the coming months about creative teams and casting for those movies including who might direct the Captain America and Avengers movies. (Whomever plays Steve Rogers AKA Captain America presumably will be making two movies at once.)

I'm really haven't been feeling well at all latel. I'm pretty much sick, I don't get sick very often or hardly at all. So for me to be even talking about it tells you and me that there's really some sickness I'm going thorugh. I've slept quite a bit already so I'm reading some comics about Captain  America's Death. It's ben really interesting where they really buried Captain America. Man I slept a lot today that's why I'm up and that I'm hot @_@. Now I'm reading a special The New Avengers and Transformers comic. This is going to be cool to see Captain America and Optmus Prime working together. Anyways I'm off.

Yes I still live! Sunday was actually pretty good. I actually was able to go to church that day. You know, I've grown up in church most my life and the past two years I really been working a lot and not going hardly at all. It really is totally different, I feel a lot more on my shoulders. I've never been good at this whole thing. But if I didn't go to church all those years I wouldn't be the person I am today that's for sure. So I went gave money like it was nothing. Gave my dad 300 dollars for the car, phone bill, for everything or anything. And probably coming up I'll give him more money by friday, it's going to be cool. I owe him a lot for just believing in me always.

I think I'm not going to take the SATS, I mean I took them twice, and is there a real point in taking it again. It'll cost me money and I'm no where near getting to study and all. I first I was feeling really bad because I wasn't doing it for the good. But then I was like, so what if I didn't do great on SATS, as long as you just start over and stay in school that's all everyone is asking for even myself. It wasn't going to be easy, why do I keep forgetting that? But anyways I've been in a pretty good mood. Well besides work.

Works been. I don't know I've been screwing up a lot. Just on stupid stuff or everything. It's driving me nuts. So I've been feeling like crap coming to work, don't know what's going on there. I was doing so well. well not every week will be outstanding. Yesterday was Emil and Jennifer's birthday. I wished them a happy birthday.

Also been reading up on comics lately. DC comics 52 is almost over. I can't believe it's almost been a year since I started reading it! A lot of stuff is wrapping up so that's good. The one that's really standing out is Black Atom, man he just lost his wife and brother in law to the Four horsemen. It was terrible. Like you know Black Atoms pretty much a bad guy and kills like crazy if needed. But for him to find a new love and family. Everything was going very well for him but no, they just had to mess with him. I was pretty much shocked when that thing turned out to be a fourhorsemen and just ate Atom's brother in law. Probablyo ne of the grossest things I've seen, well before I say more in just a second lol. And they killed his new wife by posioin  her with every disease known to man @_@. So this was pretty much the time I want Black Atom to kill every single person that did him wrong. He takes "Hunger/Sloth" by the mouth and rips him in two. Then he goes to the country that's helping Death with safety, he just kills all 2 million population, wow to kill an entire coountry to find that horseman that's crazy but hey it's Black Atom. And those people deserved it when he was actually changing for the better. And for him to bring down death and kill death. lol wow. That's pretty awesome. I wanted him to make everyone suffer. I wanted him to have a happy ending but kind of knew deep down in my heart he wouldn't.

As for Marvel Comics. I finally read the issue 25 of Captain America. So he was shot at least four times @_@. First one was no where near kiling him. And plus allt he stuff you heard on the news. They didn't tell you how he was really killed. So basically he was shot everybody's going wild. Sharon Carter an Agent of SHIELD is going to Captain America to help him out. But suddenly he's shot point blank three times. so late on he's at the hospital and Sharon Goes into  the womens restroom and bumps into a nurse there, who was one of Red SKull's agents. And I'm like okay so this is how he really died. But it was her, all the nurse said was to remember. And Sharon suddenly sees flashbacks. And it was her who shot Captain America point blank. And I'm like whoa.... How didn't anybody not see her, the problem is that people will find out it was her. But she was actually Brained washed or was a sleeper agent for Red Skull, so she was used. And Steve Rogers aka Captain America died.

First of all. It'll be hard to replace him. But I have some people that could be next one here's the list. First one that came to mind is... THE PUNISHER!!! Why, well because Frank Castle was trained by Captain America for Vietnam for a bit so he respects him, to not even fight back against him, he won't hit him. Also he maybe a psychopath, but he never kills innoncents or children. Also he is the very last person to pick up the Captain America's mask at the end of Civil War #7.

The Falcon, well he's always been a close friend of Captain. And also to see a new Black Captain America would be cool, because the very first Captain America was black, sine they needed to test it out on a different race before using it on others. Plus I can see some wings on the new Captain America suit too.

Winter Soldier, or waaaay back than know as Bucky Captain America's sidekick who was turned into part cyborg assassin. He's pretty bad ass and oesn't show mercy like punisher. I think he's pretty much the only other person capable of being the next Captain America, but he might feel like he deserves it though. It'll be interesting to see. But anyways that's pretty much it on being a dork.

I'll probably go paly some games and go work out tomorrow and all.

CIVIL WAR

-ONE-

[Throughout History Registration has been a part of human civilization. Documents have been registered, citizens have been registered, soldiers have been registered, and guns have been registered. And now a new registration is rising in the world…]

(Control Room, WTNH-Channel 8):

                Producer: Okay, how many super-villains are we TALKING here, Speedball?

(Stamford, Connecticut):

                Speedball: Three. No, wait. I think I see Coldheart in the backyard emptying the trash. That’s FOUR of ‘em in total, and all four are on the FBI MOST-WANTED LIST, right?

                Producer: Cobalt Man, Coldheart, Speedfreek, Nitro… Yep, they all broke out of Ryker’s three months back, and all of them have record as long as your arm. Coldheart fought Spider-Man a couple of times and—get this—Speedfreek almost took down the HULK.

                Night Thrasher: He WHAT?

                Microbe: These guys are totally out of our LEAGUE, man. No way we should be going in there.

                Speedball: But think about the RATINGS, Microbe. This could be the best episode of the entire SECOND SEASON…maybe even the WHOLE SERIES!

                Speedball: Six months we’ve been driving around the Midwest looking for goofballs to fight, and the best we’ve managed so far was a bum with a spray can and a wooden leg. This could be the episode that really puts New Warriors on the map, dude. We beat THESE guys and people stop bitching about NOVA leaving the show to go back into space.

                Namorita: So what’s the plan?

                Speedball: The plan is you spend five more minutes in makeup, Namorita. You think people wanna see that great big ugly ZIT on your chin?

                Speedball: Then we—

                Night Thrasher (with binoculars): Uh-oh.

                Microbe: Whassup?

                Night Thrasher: We’ve been MARKED.

                Coldheart (running inside): EVERYONE IN COSTUME! IT’S A RAID!

                Speedball: GO!!!

                Speedfreek: Holy S#!^!

                Speedfreek: OOF!

                Speedball: I’d heard the clothes make the man, Speedfreek…

                Speedball: And in your case it’s TOTALLY TRUE!

                Speedfreek: Ungh!

                Cameraman: Sound was off for a second there, bud. Any chance of that last part again?

                Speedball: Sure thing. (hitting Speedfreek again): …and in YOUR case it’s TOTALLY TRUE, Chuckles!

                Speedfreek: UNGH!

                Coldheart(seeing Namorita and Night Thrasher): Wait a minute. I know you guys. You’re those idiots from that REALITY SHOW. I’m not getting taken down by the GOLDFISH-GIRL and BONDAGE QUEEN.

                 Namorita(punching Coldheart): Beg to differ, Coldheart.

                Night Thrasher: Could we cut out the part where she called me the BONDAGE QUEEN?

                Microbe: Oh yeah. Because NIGHT THRASHER sounds so much STRAIGHTER. Got my beasties rusting COBALT MAN if anyone wants to track down that old CAPTAIN MARVEL villain.

                Speedball(jumping across the lawn and smirking at the camera): Never fear, Speedball’s here!

                -Speedball smashes into Nitro and a school bus-

                Speedball: On your FEET, Nitro. And don’t try any of your stupid explosions because that’s only going to make me HIT you harder.

                Nitro: Speedball, right? Crazy kid from that TV show? Well this isn’t a kid’s game son…

                Nitro (exploding): …you’re playing with the BIG BOYS now.

                Speedball: NOOOOOOOOOOO—

                -Explosion engulfs Stamford including the school, playground, and residences. Then a full page splash of Stamford decimated with heroes moving around, and Iron-Man and Captain America in the foreground-

                Reporter’s voice over: If you’re just tuning in, we just received word about a massive explosion which decimated the community of Stamford, Connecticut. Sources say the explosion was caused by super villain, Nitro, the Human Bomb. The so-called super heroes the New Warriors were apparently trying to apprehend a group of criminals when the New Warriors’ leader, Speedball, attacked Nitro, setting off the explosion.

                Iron-Man:  I’m told they’ve got a lead on Nitro. Word is he sneaked out of town in the back of a PICKUP TRUCK.

                Captain America: Does it MATTER? All these CHILDREN, Tony. The F.E.M.A. chief said there could be eight or nine HUNDRED casualties. All dead because of a group of super villains that we failed to apprehend.

                Iron-Man: They should have called US Cap. Speedball should have KNOWN the New Warriors were out of their league. The whole country saw the tape where they said they were only chasing ratings. This was irresponsible. If only we had been able to train them… It’s all going to be different now Steve and you know it. They are going to try and stop us from doing what we’re doing… or atleast regulate us somehow. After this, how could they not?

                Captain America: Tony, no matter what happens, I’m going to keep doing what I’ve been doing for years now: fighting for JUSTICE and helping those who need help, regardless of what anyone, including the American government, has to say about it.

                Iron-Man: But Steve, if we try to go against the government, the hammer is going to fall and they are going to lock us up one by one until there are more villains than heroes. I don’t know about you, but I’m not as used to running as our enemies are.

                Captain America: As much as I respect the men in uniform and the government itself, there are some things that it just can’t dictate. And one of those is my freedom to stop super-villains like Nitro from hurting others.

                Iron-Man: I don’t know how much I agree with that anymore. After seeing all the destruction here… I can’t help but wonder how many have been hurt in the past… I mean, Hulk’s rampages, Galactus attacking, the House of M and the Kree Skrull War… could we have shown more control? Perhaps if there was a larger initiative of heroes to fight things threatening America and the world, we could change the public’s tune.

                Captain America: I don’t give a damn about the public’s opinion Tony. I’m going to do what I think is right to protect the people. It’s all of those events that you mentioned that give us a reason for being. Do you think the government can stop Galactus? Maybe so… but controlling our actions could lead us down a path where I can’t follow. This discussion is over. –Cap walks away from Tony towards some rubble to keep helping and Tony, holding his helmet, glances down at the ground with a sad look on his face-

                Firefighter: Marvel Girl! Cyclops! We need some help over here. Motions detectors are picking up something twenty feet down, but we haven’t got our DIGGERS yet.

                Firefighter: Everybody back. Clear a little space, huh?

                Cyclops: Can you handle this on your own, Rachel?

                Marvel Girl: I can HANDLE it, Scott.

                Firefighter: Six more survivors over by the school’s north side. Bring blankets and a defibrillator.  –Looking at the X-Men- Thanks for your help. You guys have been there for us a lot and despite whatever happens, we still appreciate it.

                Wolverine (as Sentinels step forward to monitor): You GOTTA be kiddin’ me.

                Little Boy: M-Mommy?

                Mom: It’s okay, honey. They aren’t going to hurt you. The Sentinels are only here to keep an eye on the X-Men for us. They’re the GOOD GUYS.

                Wolverine: We volunteer to help with a FEDERAL EMERGENCY and you’re STILL following us around?

                Jim Rhodes: Just doin’ our JOBS, Wolverine.

                Goliath: It won’t just be mutants they’re watching after THIS one, Ms Marvel. This is the straw that broke the CAMEL’S BACK. You mark my words.

                Ms Marvel: You THINK?

                Goliath: Are you KIDDING me? After PHILLY getting bombed, the Hulk trashing VEGAS… WOLVERINE saying he was gonna kill THE PRESIDENT? This is the start of the WITCH HUNTS, honey. They’ll be coming after us with TORCHES and PITCHFORKS.

                Ms Marvel: Yeah, well, maybe this time they’re RIGHT Goliath…

                Ms Marvel: …I mean who the hell can justify THIS?

                She-Hulk(on Larry King Live): A ban on super-heroes? Well, in world with thousands of super-villains that’s obviously IMPOSSIBLE, Larry… But training them up and making them carry badges? Yes, I’d say that sounds like a reasonable response. But not everyone is gonna like it.

                Priest: …and so we ask you, Lord, for your mercy. Not only for the souls of those who perished, but for the super people whose carelessness CAUSED this devastating tragedy.

                -People file out of the church-

                Miriam Sharpe (off panel): Tony Stark? –She spits in his eye- YOU FILTHY SON OF A BITCH!

                Bodyguard: Ma’am, please. We’re gonna have to ask you to leave.

                Miriam Sharpe: Leave WHAT? My own son’s FUNERAL? STARK’S the one you should be dragging away!

                Tony Stark: Ma’am, I appreciate that you’re upset, but the New Warriors’ RECKLESSNESS had nothing to do with ME.

                Miriam Sharpe: Oh, yeah? And who finances THE AVENGERS? Who’s been telling kids for years that they can live outside the law as long as they’re wearing TIGHTS?

                Miriam Sharpe: Cops have to TRAIN and CARRY BADGES, but that’s too BORING for TONY STARK. Nah, JOE BILLIONAIRE here says all you need are some powers and a badass attitude, and you can have a place in his private SUPER-GANG.

                Bodyguard: Somebody get her outta here…

                Miriam Sharpe: You FUND this sickness, Stark. With your dirty billions.

                Miriam Sharpe: The BLOOD of my little Damien is on YOUR hands right now.

                -Stark looks away, ashamed-

                JJJ: I hope you’re GETTING all this Parker.

                CNN (“Is It Time for Super Heroes to be Registered?”): …like Speedball, for example. Nobody likes to speak ill of the dead, but here was a boy who, by all accounts, couldn’t even name the President of the United States. Their powers can be as awesome as NUCLEAR WEAPONS, Bill. Shouldn’t they be TESTED before they’re allowed to work in our communities?

(Downtown New York):

                -Human Torch flies down to night club-

                Torch: Hey, baby, sorry I’m late, but I kinda had to rescue a bunch of cute kids from a burning orphanage on the way over here.

                Date: Is that TRUE, Johnny Storm, or are you just making stuff up again so I don’t get MAD at you?

               Torch: Well, swap “Orphans” for “Babes” and “Burning Building” for “Signing Autographs” and it’s COMPLETELY true, sweetie.

                Torch: CHICO! How’s it HANGING, big man?

                Bouncer: Paris and Lindsay are waiting upstairs, Johnny. Chicks couldn’t BELIEVE it when I said you were dropping by.

                Girl in Line: Hey! How come that loser’s getting in when we’ve been waiting HOURS?

                Torch: Tell you what, Gorgeous: Next time YOU save the world from Galactus, you can borrow my FREE PASS, ‘kay?

                Second Girl in Line: What about the next time you blow up a school, jackass?

                Guy in Line: Yeah, what about next time you kill some KIDS?

                Torch: What?

                Big Guy in Line: Man, you got a lot of NERVE swaggering around town after THAT. I was you, I’d be ashamed to GO OUTSIDE.

                Torch: Hell are you SHRIEKING about Tubby? I got nothing to do with Speedball or the juvenile New Warriors. Those guys were C-List, TOPS. And I’m a member of the FANTASTIC FOUR.

                Skinny Guy in Line: BABY-KILLER!

                Date: Johnny, I don’t LIKE this. I want to go home.

                -Johnny gets smashed in the head with a beer bottle and is knocked unconscious. Clubbers proceed to beat him close to death.-

                Date: JOHNNY!!!

                Big Guy in Line: HOLD HIM DOWN! HOLD HIM DOWN!

                Bryan Deemer(news reporter): --Human Torch, the latest in a series of attacks on New York’s super-community, but this was the first physical action against our ex-‘heroes.’ More at eleven, plus the growing pressure on THE PRESIDENT in an election year—the people of Stamford ask: What are his PROPOSALS for SUPER HERO REFORM? We have also discovered that one of the many dead includes the wife of Connecticut Senator Christopher Pact, a now staunch supporter of the Registration Act. Here is coverage from an earlier outburst in the Senate Chambers:

                Sen. Christopher Pact: --because of these “HEROES” my wife is DEAD! How many COUNTLESS times must we MOURN the loss of loved ones and REBUILD the plethora of businesses and homes DECIMATED by these super-powered FREAKS?! The Registration Act is the first of MANY steps needed to PREVENT these heroes from hurting others and holding those who do RESPONSIBLE for their actions! I urge you to remember those lost in Stamford and throughout the past when you vote on this bill. Thank you. I yield my time.
