Soldier Boy’s resurrection is basically the Second Coming... hear me out

Yes, I Know Soldier Boy is Captain America’s Evil Twin. But he’s also giving Second Coming Energy. Hear me out.

Look, I get it: Soldier Boy is the dark, cynical mirror of Captain America.

The all-American golden boy turned violent war criminal.

A weaponized symbol of nationalism gone wrong.

A walking piece of propaganda whose own country betrayed him.

I see the Captain America parallels. I understand the satire of superhero mythology. I acknowledge that he’s literally a messed-up, hyper-masculine version of Steve Rogers.

But also? His resurrection arc is straight-up biblical, and I will not be normal about it.

The Biblical Resurrection Parallels

Betrayed by his own people

Jesus was betrayed by one of his closest followers, Judas.

Soldier Boy was betrayed by his entire team.

Both were handed over to powerful forces who wanted them gone.

Sealed away in a “Tomb”

Jesus was buried in a stone-sealed tomb for three days.

Soldier Boy was literally sealed in a cryogenic chamber, left to rot for decades in the “tomb” of a Russian lab.

They were both locked away by people who feared their power.

The Concept of ��Judgment”

Jesus returned as a spiritual force of reckoning.

Soldier Boy literally becomes a force of judgment, incinerating and erasing Supes who he deems unworthy.

His power functions almost like divine wrath, striking down those who lied, betrayed, and sinned against him.

The thematic overlap: What makes a messiah?

At the heart of it, Soldier Boy’s arc plays with the idea of a Messiah figure. But twisted through the lens of "The Boys" cynical world.

🔥 He was the first “Son” of America. Then rejected by it. 🔥 He was buried away only to rise again when the world needed him most. 🔥 His return sparks war, forcing people to pick sides. 🔥 He comes back as a figure of judgment: One who punishes the wicked. 🔥 He is flawed, he is wrathful, he is vengeful and yet, his mere existence changes the course of history.

Sound familiar?

TL;DR: Soldier Boy is literally The Boys’ Messianic Figure

📌 Betrayed, entombed, resurrected. 📌 Returns in a time of crisis. 📌 Brings divine judgment. 📌 Changes the course of history.

Call it fate, call it biblical, but either way: Soldier Boy didn’t just “come back.”

🔥 He was always going to rise again. 🔥

I am too petty for my own good

[pigeonclaw]

the amount of times I have potentially controversial opinions that I type up and then save in my drafts forever because I still feel them but am too shy and afraid to choose violence in any way

idk. reclaiming the word "mad" has been a Lot for me. i never realised how much that word resonates with me in that sense but looking at a lot of the songs that really hit with me it's like. ough. wow that's badly worded but anyway: we are mad motherfuckers, you're a bad motherfucker. your mad eyes shine. etc. you get it.

warning this is an "i've lost my temper" post

people leaving comments on my vaccine post about how they """""can't""""" get vaccines because of needle phobias like what kind of ridiculous backwards-ass mental-gymnastics dumb fucking able-bodied nonsense are you on. you shortsighted twat. you circlejerking fucking asshole. you know what'll make you have to contend with needles???? getting an IV in the hospital because you came down with COVID. and now every single time you move you feel the straw wiggle uncomfortably inside your veins and you can't get it out ever you're trapped helpless on your back forever getting stuck by needles CONSTANTLY.

so. unless you're ready to lay at home and die while refusing all medical care, which would be good because at least you'd be putting your money where your fucking mouth is, i think you Do In Fact want to take the shot. you Fucking Moron??

im just reserving judgment on the live action atla at this point, like jesus fuck

it's obviously not gonna be a one to one adaption. frankly i'd be mad if it was. but they're also changing details in the character arcs, which, despite fandom outrage, isn't a BAD thing provided they keep consistent with their own changes and create a good internal narrative. these are gonna be different characters, which is fine. maybe a little disappointing, but literally what did we expect? mostly im just hoping that the narrative they present is solid and the character arcs they devise are well written

the changes that they've made feel strange, but it isnt fuckin doomsday. there's no one right way to write any story. atla has its own problems, and you know there are drafts that got tossed that would've been completely serviceable directions for the original show to take, they just didn't. atla la taking a different route doesn't mean it'll be a bad narrative, just that it'll bother our need for nostalgic accuracy. and even if it's a bad adaption (changes too much, alters the impact or feel of the story), it could still be a good narrative.

GRANTED this all doesn't mean netflix is gonna make a good show. they are hit or miss, and adaptions are tricky. honestly ive kind of resigned myself to being disappointed at this point. and even if it is good, that doesn't mean that everyone has to like it. it's an entirely different medium, and that's reason enough to avoid it

[majimassqueaktoy]

Really not understanding the people being mean to Yong Yea and saying he'll never be Kuroda like. Yeah that's literally why Kuroda is also still voicing Kiryu?? They haven't gotten rid of Kuroda, they've just found a new English va for Kiryu since the games are having English dubs now??? They haven't even officially recorded anything leave the guy alone.
