Ik this is a joke, but it made me think of something I find amazing.

1. He’s Captain Freaking America

2. He’s Captain Freaking America

Sam follows him off the bat as it’s a general rule in the super hero community (at least in the comics) that what Cap says goes. People trust him because he ALWAYS fights for freedom and is usually on the morally right side. In Infinity by Johnathon Hickman, the Illuminati and Cap assemble the infinity gauntlet. When its time to decide who would weild it and save the universe there was no question. Thats the respect Captain America commands.

The second part of the question can be answered by answering how he gets the aforementioned respect. Steve is just a genuinely good person. He is not just a good leader, but he cares about those he leads. He cares for the well being of each and every Avenger.

This is why Secret Empire and Stevil were so bad. Its COMPLETELY out of character. To be fair though the Civil War event showed a compelling side of Cap by momentarily subverting this part of his character. He gets so wrapped up in winning that he forgot why he started fighting. The hero was on the back-burner while the soldier took the wheel. Even though he was fighting the good fight, he had abandoned his original reason, namely the protection of innocent people and heroes.

F4

I think I know what’s wrong with F4 adaptations, its young Johnny he’s just hard to adapt onto screen.  I’m too used to the more mature Johnny from Byrne’s and Hickman’s runs, there’s just something about his character that just throws off the team dynamic in live action.  In other F4 news oh boy oh boy, that ending, will people just go see the film in cinemas straight out of morbid curiosity.. it’s official 2015 is the 2013 of superhero films, as long as 2016 is like 2014 superhero films the superhero films trend shud continue.

Burnham spent an hour doing speed sketches in front of a crowd—after having spent all day sketching on Saturday—and it was only when he responded with a terse “no” to someone’s request for a stripping Wonder Woman that your correspondent realized just how absent sleaze was. Despite taking place in a hotel whose lobby features live dancing girls, MorrisonCon may have been the most female-friendly con the correspondent had ever seen. The correspondent has seen firsthand the alienating effect comic shows have on some women: artists reeling in attention with splashy tit banners, fans collecting sketches of She-Hulk in the green, dirty old men using their cameraphones to snap zoomed-in ass shots of oblivious Poison Ivy cosplayers. Hormones still coursed through the collective blood, but in a shared, healthy way, inasmuch as dirty jokes are healthier than sexploitation.

MorrisonCon report from Comics Beat. The small con had about a third female attendees.
