Today's Dork Tower has a link to this blog post.
There's a confirming story on Time's website, so this doesn't look like a hoax to me.
What the FUCK, Marvel?
Captain America is your "moral compass" character. You don't pull this kind of shit with the "moral compass" character - unless you're changing the moral tone of the entire company.
So... either they're incompetent storytellers or they're taking a moral stance that I find unacceptable.
I was looking forward to seeing Guardians of the Galaxy 2 in a theatre this summer, but that would involve giving Marvel some of my money - and I suddenly don't want to give Marvel any of my money any more.
