I can't stand how addicted everyone seems to be to the concept that even if there is a sad ending, something will come up and negate it. Just as a further addendum, I would like to express my discontent with any country's mainstream corporate backdrop. I like the underground; generally lower production quality, but at least there's room to think. I know what you’re saying, I guess I just want to see anything have an ending.

Ressurection and apple pie over tentacle rape, I always say. The overcoming of odds and ascension to betterment is a classic trope of fiction, not just Western media. ^I’ll take American mainstream media over Eastern mainstream media any day of the week.

The overcoming of odds and ascension to betterment is a classic trope of fiction, not just Western media.

I mean what the hell is the point in the first place? The only Cap product I ever liked was the made for t.v. movie in the eighties. And, I mean, it was the eighties, I was allowed to like it. Also didn't he get frozen in ice for forty years or some other such nonsense? This is why I hate American mainstream media. Comics, movies, t.v.; they all have the same tendency toward westernized sociological thought, wherein, a vincible protagonist ends up beating the odds to be an essential immortal. In eastern plot lines main characters die all the time. It makes for a more credible story. We all deal with the cycles of life and death and the craziness in between, but in Hollywood, or the Marvel universe, there can be no end. Its just bloody unnatural.
