Look, have I thought about Dick? Of course I have; who hasn't? I mean, I wouldn't say that Dick dominates my every thought or anything, but sure, I've thought about giving Dick a ride when the time comes.
The final Captain America post is coming tonight when I have time to finish formatting it, and I don't want to say I'm ending on my best... but it got me pretty jazzed, tbh.
I love that Marvel's solution for the origin story problem is this:

WRITER 1: People are kind of tired of origin movies.

WRITER 2: Yeah, but Captain Marvel's not a household name, so we've gotta cover it.

WRITER 1: Yeah... oh, I know! What if she's already got her powers, but she has amnesia? That way, we can skip straight to the superhero stuff, but also cover the origin as she recovers her memories!

It's genuinely genius.


So this just dropped. It is doing a good job as a teaser to give us a hint at what the movie is about, but gives us nothing on the villain or the main story.


Only a Skrull story lets you have your hero punch the shit out of an old lady on the bus.

Especially since we actually don't have a Hulk.


Do we ever? Hulk's one of the cursed characters. No one who picks him up ever keeps him longer than an arc or two, and certainly never for a whole season. Much like Punishe-- oh.

Well, it still stands for Hulk.
I would prefer the action take place in New York, if only because some of my major plans for next season require things in New York to be kind shitty at the beginning of the season


Hey, my plans for my next character are predicated on things being shitty. Shitty city bros!

I have a Bifrost.


"We have a Hulk."

Wait, I don't think I used that right...

You heard the man, folks. The Billy Batson as Captain America dream lives on!

In all seriousness, it's a shame you're dropping Cap. I really enjoyed your run, as short as it was, because I felt like you captured the tone pretty well. Every post felt like I was sitting down to watch an episode of a big budget TV show that I'd been anticipating all week. But if it was a chore for you to write, I understand why you'd want to move on.


Ironically, Billy Batson was on my second character shortlist, so you're (almost) half-right.

Eddie Brock is....

Eddie Brock. Regular human photographer and not at all a hero.


There was time where, having just read Marvels, I considered playing just a normal journalist in the Marvel Universe. Would've been an unmitigated disaster, I'm sure, but I did consider it.
Well, with that fairly feeble attempt out of the way, I can officially say that -- besides a season-ending epilogue -- my first (and only) arc is done.

Which seems as good a time as any to announce that I won't be continuing on as Captain America next season. Although I love the concept and am genuinely proud of my first few posts, I can honestly say that the rest of the arc has been a slog. Pretty much every post has been a rushed mess just to make the deadline, and even then, I wasn't nearly as productive as I hoped to be. So with that in mind, hoping that a change of scenery will do my creativity some good, I'll be picking up a new character in Season Two!
