Still, a gentleman does not kiss and tell on a lady. But it would be understood that you would not be pressed to name names so her reputation would be protected. ---

Steve was into Peggy, someone who did not act at all in any way that was proper for women of the era. I don’t think he would be too concerned about what was considered proper if the girls were doing things of their own volition. On the other hand I also don’t think he would be too thrilled sleeping with someone who liked the “new” him knowing full well they’d never give the real him the time of day. ---

But then again that line subbing in God for author is one I like as a religious perspective as well … But to some degree what a Creator claims is so is revealed Truth, true axiomatically, even if there is other Truth revealed later. At weakest it is Ex Cathedra. ---

She-Hulk was very overt about breaking the fourth wall. I still preferred how Peter David handled it with Rick Jones during his run on Incredible Hulk. ---

mmmm. I have to disagree on Steve’s political leanings. To me he’s classic liberal.\* “There’s right and there’s wrong. We don’t compromise. We don’t sell ourselves out for security.” Not to mention the hallmark of Chris Evans portrayal of Cap is compassion and empathy. Its SO different from comic-book Cap who is so often just a mouthpiece for an angry writer. He’s been brutish and naive and single-minded in his hatred of Tony even in the face of Armageddon. \*Of course semantics are semantics. This may be what you meant. Man, Tony’s argument in Civil War fails on so many unmentioned levels. ---

BTW - no discussion of Blonsky’s “seven soulmates” that he’s going to go live on a large tract of land somewhere with? The long-running scuttlebutt is that Abomination will be one of the Thunderbolts, along with (I don’t know if any of this is actually confirmed) Yelena, Bucky, Baron Zemo, Ghost, Taskmaster, US Agent and… somebody else, I dunno. Seems like a weird lineup, so I’d take it all with a grain of salt. ---

> [@Gyrate](#): > > Yelena, Bucky, Baron Zemo, Ghost, Taskmaster, US Agent and… somebody else, I dunno. Bucky? After he worked with Falcon/Cap to beat the shit out of him and take the shield since he (JOhn Walker) was obviously unfit to carry it? ---

Honestly, it doesn’t make sense to me either. But it does seem likely to be a Thunderbolts reference, no matter who ends up on the team. ---

It does seem hard to come up with 7 characters that fit, but Thunderbolts is pretty far off. There’s something like 6 movies and 6 TV series before it, so plenty of time to add characters. ---
