The Captain America Movie You Didn’t Know Existed
I saw Captain America: Civil War last night and loved it to dickens! It’s great, it’s epic, it’s so much fun! It lives up to all the hype! My review will go up later today, but for now, let’s take a look at the classic 1990 Captain America, in an age when the world wasn’t so epic.
It was a simpler, darker time. Thankfully, the world has evolved into Civil War! But Screen Junkies is right, we must never forget how good we have it.

By the Way, Steve Rogers is Coming Back as Captain America
Announced a few days ago, it looks like Steve Rogers will once again be Captain America in the comics. He’s getting a new costume to boot, designed by artist Daniel Acuna. I think he looks pretty great.
Go America!
Obviously, Steve is getting back in the saddle because he has a new movie coming out in the Spring. That’s fine by me. He’s done a lot as an old man, and I’m sure his new series will be a lot of fun. The comic will be written by Nick Spencer, who is doing great on Astonishing Ant-Man, with art by Jesus Saiz.
Meanwhile, Sam Wilson will also remain as a Captain America, and will get to keep the iconic shield. Marvel is gonna try dueling Captains for awhile, possibly to reflect the near 50/50 split between liberals and conservatives in our country. Or maybe Marvel just wants a bunch of Captain Americas.
Should be fun either way! And like I said, I’m digging the new costume. What do you henchies think?

The Civil War Has Already Begun!
By that, of course, I mean the war between Captain America and Iron Man! It was there all along, we just didn’t fully notice until now.
Kudos to Mr. Sunday Movies, one of my favorite Youtube personalities. That was some quality comedy fun! And once again reminds me that I need to work on my video editing skills.

Happy Thanksgiving, We’ve Got a Captain America: Civil War Trailer!
This was a welcome surprise this morning! I’d heard there’d be some Captain America movie news on the Jimmy Kimmel show last night, but I don’t watch Jimmy Kimmel! I went to bed, I was tired! But sure enough, I wake up this morning and discover the flippin’ first full length trailer for Captain America: Civil War!
Great googily moogily that awesome! I thought I was riding high on Jessica Jones, and that maybe I didn’t need another Marvel movie so soon, but wow that trailer looks good. It’s got the action, it’s got the character building, it’s got some pretty amazing moments between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark. Oh man. This is gonna be stellar!

It’s a Zombie Nazi Sort of Day!
I didn’t expect today to be a Zombie Nazi sort of day, it just kind of happened. I found this video of a LEGO Captain America mini-movie (Captain America 3, apparently), and it’s all about LEGO Cap fighting off a bunch of LEGO Zombie Nazis! It’s awesomely animated, gory as hell and has a sweet ending!
All kudos to Forrest Fire for the excellent video. Their LEGO animation skills are the bomb diggity! Be sure to watch all the way to the end!
And while we’re on the topic of Zombie Nazis (quite different from Nazi zombies), I’d also like to introduce you to one of the funniest songs ever! This is from Rob Zombie’s movie The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, which is a pretty terrible movie, but which has a pretty hilarious Zombie Nazi song about a third of the way in. It’s probably NSFW due to the cussin’.
Only good part of that movie. I just saved you a couple of painful hours.
