The desecration of Captain America continues

Koimoi gives a sugarcoated, unobjective description of some new Captain America stories that continue the modern degradation of the Star-Spangled Avenger that began as far back as the time Joe Quesada was Marvel's EIC in the early 2000s:
For over 80 years, Captain America has been the beacon of justice. But what if I told you this legendary weapon conceals a dark secret—a symbol of wickedness hiding in plain sight? In Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #3, fans were taken aback by a shocking revelation that challenged the very essence of Steve Rogers’ legacy!

Rogers is rarely seen without his shield. It’s not just a weapon; it’s an extension of his identity. Even Sam Wilson, the new Captain America, carries his version of the shield. Yet, recent story arcs have hinted at a deeper, more sinister connection tied to the shield’s origins.

[...] In Sentinel of Liberty #3, written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly with art by Carmen Carnero, Steve Rogers investigates a seemingly clean-energy plant in Germany, only to uncover its true, sinister purpose. Deep within the installation, he stumbles upon a shocking message from his shield’s creator, Doctor Boka Agbote. It read: “They’re called the Outer Circle.

The revelation unveils that the Outer Circle has orchestrated not just World War II but potentially every conflict since then. The three rings surrounding a star signify a hierarchy—two inner circles influenced by an outer force. The symbol represents Captain America, a weapon wielded by forces far darker than anything he’s ever fought against.
We've heard enough. So now, even Cap's famous shield, developed by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, is apparently tainted, because Mr. Lanzing and Mr. Kelly say so. This retconning is disgusting, as is the news site's failure to acknowledge it's just that, and just a piece of paper.

When will Marvel's publishing arm ever close down? This has long become utterly unendurable.
