Pro tip for comics readers: remember when Colossus would call everyone "tovarisch"? That's the romanization (don't know a better word for that - representing Cyrillic characters with roman characters) of "comrade" in Russian.

The thing I like most about Russian are the easy conjugation rules. The thing I don't like are the hard and soft signs always screwed me up when spelling stuff. Synthbuttrange posted:Probably not a nazi but it's funny-tragic that the writer for Captain America isnt down with nazi punching. Funny enough, outside of wartime propaganda comics Captain America never has been either. I mean, he'll punch a bad guy if it comes to that but is all about free speech even for lowlifes he vehemently disagrees with.

Cap's all down for punching Nazis but like, nazi soldiers, in wartimes, not really assholes on the street. Cap would probably be against people just punching other people at whim.  I haven't read Cap in a while though, and new cap is or was briefly a nazi himself so who knows what the deal is now Babe Magnet fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Feb 15, 2017 |

lol yeah it's one thing to say "hey don't just attack people" but it's another to tell a jewish guy to his face that he's being as bad as the neo nazi I think it's supposed to be more like "by escalating the confontation to violence, you're making the nazi look like the victim/sympathetic, so maybe don't hit them seeing as that's playing into their hands" Babe Magnet fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Feb 15, 2017 |

Nazis should be encouraged to publicly state their beliefs without fear of violence, just so we can know who they are and avoid them.

Sam Wilson spent the last 17 issues punching Nazis and affiliated ilk. It's just #17 that was iffy when Spencer tried to balance all the Nazi punching with some ill-considered commentary on "college PC culture" - but in the end the Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly stand-ins were still the butt of the overall book. And after the really sweet Captain America: Sam Wilson #15 (Christmas issue) I'm willing to forgive him a few missteps. Even Steve Rogers spends his time punching Nazis and affiliated ilk in his cover as upstanding super hero. Sometimes even when he is in Hydra mode to further his goals. Edit: Funny panels...  Kiron Gillen's fantastic Uncanny X-Men. A simpler time... Decius fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Feb 15, 2017 |

Did Danger ever actually do anything supervillianish other than "fight the X-Men"? Cuz that was pretty dang justified.

Hope was the first of the next generation of mutants and a savior or something, and she had powers to activate other mutants' powers and of course she had red hair. She was raised by Cable in the future, I think.
