anyway it's "you're not alone" and "does charles judge me? no, i judge myself" and "promise me you'll watch charles" and "we're two of a kind" and "you worried if you felt how much he loved you--" and "bookends of the same soul" and "charles, you saw in me what mattered" and "you're so much more than pain and anger, there's good in you, i felt it" and "you saved my life and offered me a home" and "look at what we made" and "so it shall remain, as long as you return to us" and "are you sure i can't convince you to stay?" and "i'm sorry i can't leave him" and "i will bring you hope" and "all those years spent fighting each other, to have a precious few of them back," and it's erik leaving him on the beach, and it's charles in some dark future meeting his end because he feels the metal of erik's helmet for the first time in a millennia and hesitates, and it's charles flying off the handle because erik died in ororo's arms and not his, it's charles in erik's arms in the rose garden, it's erik's hand on charles's shoulder and charles reaching up to clasp it, it's them fighting side by side in a bar in haifa, it's erik coming back from the dead because charles needs him, it's erik taking over the school even though he feels unworthy, it's them, in a hundred universes in a hundred storylines and iterations, every single time, everywhere, finding each other no matter what, no matter when. it's that

Whenever posts that talk about Jack Kirby get popular, I can’t help but notice they’re almost always posts about Kirby being down to punch Nazis and racists. Less commonly they’re posts about how Jack Kirby and Joe Simon’s creation of Captain America was an act of specifically Jewish resistance standing up to both Hitler’s ideology and the American embrasure/inspiration of it at a time when it was not safe to do so. These are important topics and I still don’t think that they are talked about enough.

But I feel like that, partly due to later writers who have deradicalized Cap or kept him stagnant with the times, there is another aspect of Cap as a creation of Jack Kirby that gets overlooked: the fact that in the 1960s, Cap is a reflection of Jack Kirby’s own trauma from the war. Because Jack Kirby did go fight in the Second World War, and it had a profound effect on him. Reading biographies of Kirby’s life and testimonies from people who knew him show very clearly that his astonishing output is in part a coping mechanism from the horrors he lived through. This is further reflected in the narrative threads throughout 60s Cap and the Fourth World in particular.

The mantle of Captain America understandably carries a lot of baggage with it given the very real history of colonialism and white supremacy that America is built on, but Captain America specifically began as a symbol of resistance to that white supremacy and America’s support of it and it’s very disheartening to not only see that erased, but to see people act like Captain America has only ever been intended as a propoganda tool in favor of white supremacy.

Okay, this could really be something!

“This is one of the most exciting things we’ve seen in a really long time,” said Shaw. “This is a really finely honed tool. To be able to sit there and say to your patients that you’re offering them something that’s effectively like the Fat Duck at Bray versus McDonald’s – it’s that level of cordon bleu that’s coming to them … The patients are really excited about them.” The vaccine is an individualised neoantigen therapy. It is designed to trigger the immune system so it can fight back against a patient’s specific type of cancer and tumour. Known as mRNA-4157 (V940), the vaccine targets tumour neoantigens, which are expressed by tumours in a particular patient. These are markers on the tumour that can potentially be recognised by the immune system. The jab carries coding for up to 34 neoantigens and activates an anti-tumour immune response based on the unique mutations in a patient’s cancer. To personalise it, a sample of tumour is removed during the patient’s surgery, followed by DNA sequencing and the use of artificial intelligence. The result is a custom-built anti-cancer jab that is specific to the patient’s tumour.
