Butch Carter and the superfans kids
It seems that, these days, no successful franchise can escape being bled to death, through a combination of creative despondency and corporate desperation. In that vein, Marvel has announced its What If…? series. And it hasn't gone down too well among the MCU stans.
Respondents are outraged that the @CaptainAmerica Twitter account has replaced one fake Captain America, Sam Wilson, with another fake Captain America, Peggy Carter. A black man erased in favour of a white woman; even worse, an upper-class British white woman that was in charge of recruiting nazis!!!
, according to one excitable imbecile. (confused)
Shit, don't these people have a life?
What they forget is that, at least for the normies who followed the MCU story arc through to Avengers: Endgame, and any of us who bought Marvel comics as kids back in the '70s, there is only one real Captain America. His name is Steve Rogers. He is white, American, and with penis.
Besides, the whole point of What If…? was to play with alternative storylines. Captain Carter seems fine enough in this regard, other than being overtly masculine, even compared to the average female superhero. Peggy Carter's animated alter ego is built like the proverbial Russian shot-putter. It must be the effect of the Super Soldier Serum…or artistic licence.
But the stans need to be realistic. Disney cares only for money. The sole reason for the animated What If…? series is to pad out the streaming schedule. And @CaptainAmerica could be given over to Michael Mouse wearing a stars-and-stripes thong if it boosted subscriptions.
