GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I don't think Time magazine (among others) counts as a parody site: [link]

No, as upset as Twitter is about it, it's definitely real.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to change my tagline.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

That's insane. That noise you hear is Kirby spinning like a jet turbine in his grave.

Talk about pissing on a character.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Talk about pissing on a character.

Seriously. I'm totally boggled that Marvel thought this would be a GOOD idea. "Hey, the movie with this character in the title did really well -- let's make him a FUCKING NAZI!"

Yeah, let's take the character created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, who, in his first issue was depicted PUNCHING HITLER, a year before the Nazis declared war on us, let's make him a LITERAL NAZI.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Not to mention that he appears to be terrible at being undercover: the reveal comes after he throws Jack Flag out of a plane because...of reasons? Because he couldn't think of a good cover story for...whatever HYDRA BUSINESS he was actually doing? HOW DID HE MANAGE FOR 75 YEARS AND JUST CAN'T DEAL WITH JACK FLAG IN A PLANE.

Not only is it a terrible betrayal of one of the most-consistently decent human beings in comic books, but the timing feels especially bad as we fathom the possibility of a Trump presidency. A time like this is when we especially need a character like Steve Rogers setting an example for what this country should be.

Well, if he starts punching Trump, I'm not going to complain.
