The aliens that unearth our decayed world are going to be very confused by this.

They will spend decades chasing our super soldier serum

Trying to figure out wtf vita-rays are

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Have we run out of real heroes or our are standards now so high we have to turn to fiction?

lmao isn't there a friggin alice in wonderland SECTION of central park?

jeesh

 

[Piecake]

Wouldn't that be an indirect admittance that your city is shit?

paging Detroit

 

[Mr-Joker]

Cool, hopefully I will get to see it one day.

Making statues based on fictional characters is nothing new.

 

[EhoaVash]

Shit the world needs a batman statue.

What would confuse them more, this or the Cat in the Hat and Grinch statues in Naperville?

We've had a statue of Rocky in Philly for 30 years!

 

[HStallion]

I think a giant dick statue would apt description of New Yorkers than Captain America.

 

[Tabarin]

Dont see any problem with this

 

[Tagyhag]

I could see people finding the statue in 2000 years and wondering who the hell this was.

Also, it'd look very cool in a post-apocalyptic scenario.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Why waste this on a fictional hero rather than dedicate it to a real one?

fictional heroes won't have sex scandals revealed decades later
(mostly)

 

[Jenov]

Not the bust I would have chosen.

Bwahaha. At least there's going to be lots of pouches on the statue, Liefeld style!

No they just join Hydra.

Terrible post on so many levels

We can start with Larry Johnson's 4 Point Play and continue from there for a treatise on why New York, and its citizens, represent the best fucking city on Earth.

Shit the world needs a batman statue.

Batman is basically a Republican Billionaire.

I lived in NYC for years buddy, try not to get too offended.

 

[Ahasverus]

I think there is already a Superman statue and a Batman plaque around. It's not new.

 

[LosDaddie]

Marvel stays winning

 

[UrbanRats]

Not long 'till we'll get statues dedicated to memes and youtubers.

[kunonabi]

Man Evan's Captain America really is proving to be the successor to Reeves' Superman.

 

[Blade30]

I honestly didn't expect this. If they are doing this then there needs to be a Spider-Man, Superman and Batman Statue.

Ok he is not from this world, but still.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Oh come on

Team Cap won

Why are you surprised? Didn't the Rocky statue stand for decades in the real life location of the movie?

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Why make a statue for the loser of Civil War? It should be Stark!

FALSE GOD

Wrong statue

That's how it starts. The fever, the rage.

 

[guek]

A part of it is just home town pride and another part just another ploy by the city to attract tourists. This certainly isn't the first time something like this has been done.

Pretty neat, imo. Captain America, like Superman, is a good symbol.

Personally I would think a Spiderman Statue would be much more fitting to New York than Captain America. When you think Superheros in NYC you think of Spiderman, maybe DD, but not Captain America.

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

That's bananas.

You do you Cap, you do you.

Actually, can we get a Spidey statue in Queens?

Specifically, Forest Hills.

Although I would settle for one at Citi Field replacing the number "42" in the Peter Parker Rotunda.

 

[KodaRuss]

That is pretty dang cool. Never was a Cap fan until the movies and I love him now. Been reading Brubakera Captain run for a little while now and it really good.

eh, Spider-Man is definitely first (though he'd have to be in Queens), but Cap is a close second when I think of super heroes I associate with New York. I'm a lifelong comic reader but the movie cemented that for me.

Tony's not vain. All he asks for is his name plastered on all his products and building. He's humble like that.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

So you know about the four point play???????

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Surprised I'm the first to post this.

 

[Ashby]

Whatever city in New Jersey that it would be put in would have no problem admitting that they were shit.

 

[jon bones]

this is incredible

will def be at the bklyn unveiling

nah, Cap is brooklyn

Spidey should get one in Forest Hills though

 

[Lights and Waves]

Isn't he a nazi now or something?

 

[User1608]

Well deserved and cool!! My fave comic book character now tbh.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

He is too humble IMO.

No,

memories of being a part of hydra were implanted.

 

[Alienous]

Wow, the Marvel movies are powerful.

 

[Lord Virgin]

He's a symbol of what we should aspire to be.

A killing machine?

I want a Goku statue. Or Gohan.

 

[Forerunner]

Goku is a moron though.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Nice.

 

[Ophelion]

A killing machine?

The soldier so kind and brave he carries a shield in place of a gun is hardly a killing machine.

That's what we've got Iron Man for.

 

[Snaku]

Hail Hydra.

 

[Kallor]

Darth Vader is looking a little short here.

 

[Host Samurai]

Should be Goku but whatevs.
