Things I don't even know why I expected to get away with

Writing a story about Captain America and... not discussing my concept of America.

These ideas probably need to be broken up among several conversations/characters hahaaaa orz this wasn't supposed to be a manifesto I swear, I'm Canadian.

Also, I'm glad I actually like Brubaker's writing, because dude is apparently my plot brain twin.

Wikipedia says that before he was given the power to kill Capt America off and bring him back to life, he wrote a lot of stuff about semi-normal people getting embroiled in extreme situations? (But something he's working on now seems like the opposite if that, a superpowered sociopath who has to pretend to be normal.)

I should really look it up. When I read the Young Avengers stuff I kept thinking "this could be the best teen TV series ever," and then I realized it was, like, written by the dude who wrote and produced The O.C., bawling. Like the fortes of the thing were obviously likeable teens + family drama, the actual superhero plot bits were sort of... whatever... but then I always think that.
