Happy Captain America's Birthday Fourth of July!

We kind of already celebrated last weekend, with fireworks down in St. Mary's County, but today is extra special for being a) Steve's birthday, b) the day I finished my damn 690 final (done at 4:30 am this morning), c) the beginning of posting on fixit fic, and d) the day of Thor's return (already have reserved copy lined up for when the comic store opens tomorrow).

We were going to go to the Smithsonian today, but that was before staying p until 7:00 am to finish my final and post fic. Revised plans are to go and see the movie about the French rat who wants to be chef. Because, mais oui it is not the fourth of July without some form of mockery of the French.

I got my serious Yay America! patriotism fix on my sister's graduation, when we had the F-15 fly-overs and the speech from the Secretary of Defense.

Re: 4th and July and France


Brubaker's Cap is, IMO, definitive. All of the Ultimates are pretty much pod people who coincidentally have the same names as the Avengers (Ultimate Iron Man in particular is an entirely different character with a completely different backstory).

I've seen fans suggest that the mention of the French Resistance Brubaker stuck in his Captain America was a deliberate response to Millar's France joke in Ultimates, though that's just a theory.
