A Cyborg and His Cat


I love the idea of Bucky getting Alpine after he’s had a particularly difficult time and he’s just not sure he can care for this cat…

Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #7 (2022)


[CAPTAIN AMERICA: SENTINEL OF LIBERTY #7
Writers: Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly
Artist: Carmen Carnero
Cover Artists: Carmen Carnero and Alejandro Sanchez]

Back on earth, Steve is depressed, miserable and brooding about Bucky's betrayal. I walk the city until I find the courage to go to the one place I can't face, Steve narrates -- Bucky's now-empty apartment in Manhattan. Everything is gone, just a few scattered pieces of paper and an abandoned cat toy on the floor. And, sitting on a shelf for Steve to find . . . the "Dimension Z eldritch weapon" crystal which powered The New Destroyer Starpoint. Thanks, Buck, Steve says as he takes it.

On his way home, Steve is followed and attacked by a mysterious assailant --

Steve remains pretty much a wet blanket though. Sharon Carter initiates the kiss and later it's up to her to initiate sex as well. Steve is still off in his own little world, brooding about Bucky and the Outer Circle. 



Yet again, Sharon takes the initiative and sets up a meeting of allies, creating momentum to get sluggish Steve into action. Clearly, the New Revolution made a smart tactical move with "Sharon Carter to Captain America." He knows Steve better than anyone and knows Steve needs a "right-hand operative" by his side.

Or . . . is Sharon Carter controlled by the Outer Circle? Time will tell.

In a secret bunker under New York's subway system, they meet up with Nick Fury, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Peggy Carter and Roger Aubrey from the Radio Club (who is the original Destroyer back in action once more). Steve fills in everyone about the Outer Circle and Bucky's role on it as the New Revolution. Steve also lets them know he's in possession of the powerful Neganite crystal. They zero in pretty quickly on an adversary to target -- Arnim Zola and his underground launch facility discovered by Hawkeye and the Thunderbolts. The team agrees to meet there on Wednesday to set a trap for Zola. The Redacted shows up late to the meeting and approves the plan.

Then WHAMMO! The next thing Captain America knows, he's in the middle of a wheat field in Kansas and it's FRIDAY. What the hell happened?

Frigga just wanted a nice family picture for their holiday card, but Loki made one helmet joke too many and Thor’s done.

Everyone's a Child on Christmas Eve

I don't know the artist's name
who created these Baby Avengers,
but aren't they wonderful!

The artist drew others as well,
but these are my faves --

Homecoming

HOW IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN --


“You’re back!!” - (2022)
Steve never took the serum and Bucky came back from the war (almost) without a scratch in 1945. ♥

Sebastian Stan, Actor (Part 2)


[The Magic of Passion (2022)
Directed by Miles Gillespie;
Starring Sebastian Stan,
Paul Walter Hauser
and K. Callan]

Compared to the much safer roles which Chris Evans chooses, Sebastian Stan appears to be absolutely fearless as an actor, whether it be a film's subject-matter or his own image. He likes to portray the extremes of life, character, morality and experience.

This recently released short film is a case in point. Comedic -- albeit in a very dark, disturbing and cringey way -- it explores the outer limits of tolerance, acceptance and freedom to choose.

However, knowing the usual dynamics of such situations in Real Life, I must say that the film's saving grace is that it is clear that the mother, although physically disabled by a stroke, retains her mental capacity and ability to legally consent to both the romantic and sexual relationship with the man who is her caregiver. Less clear is whether her physical dependence on the caregiver's help introduces an element of duress to that consent. And whether there is any aspect of financial elder abuse is completely unaddressed. But, after all, it's only a 10 minute film, so let's give it the benefit of the doubt -- it does not have to carry the weight of all possible scenarios on its shoulders.
