The Winter Soldier, right?
Yeah, I didn't like it when they revived Bucky. He was one of the very few characters that stayed dead. I suppose the only person in comics to really remain deceased would be Uncle Ben (Spider-Man's uncle).
Yeah. Captain Mar-Vell is still technically dead. The one that emerged from Secret Invasion (the next big thing after Civil War) appears to have been from some kind of different reality or something (didn't follow it, really - simply can't afford criss crossing massive cross overs - appreciate the idea of tying all these comics together in a shared universe - but just too expensive to collect). But yes, Bucky became Winter Soldier, killed Nomad (a character I always enjoyed, especially after Fabian wrote him - both in his Limited & Ongoing Series, and plus what he did with him in Thunderbolts) - and they let some hack writer (I won't even go into my problems with him) take all this hard work and ruin it for a throw away scene that simply has NO logic to it. (Why did Bucky kill Nomad? And why was Nomad - Cap's side kick - so easily taken out? And why did he have nothing going on that he had from his last appearance?) *shakes head* I hate Marvel, sometimes...

Except for The Tick, I'd have to agree. I sometimes watched that show, but overall, it didn't seem too funny to me. There was one episode involving Aztecs (or something) which made me laugh.
You didn't like The Tick?
Wow. To me that's some of the best comedy writing in cartoons - ever.
I own Season 1 and Season 2 on DVD... and watch it all the time.
The Mustache Episode and the Gingerbread Episode are to die for.

When I was little, I was a huge He-Man fan. So much so that my dad looked all over to find me a He-Man sword. At the time, was sick and when he gave it to me, both my mom and my dad said I was extremely happy.
*proudly owns all the official He-Man seasons on DVD*
Yeah. I am still a kid.

I think the above might have influenced my love of swords. I have a real sword collection and it's absolutely awesome. I started collecting when I was in junior high. My mom was always on my case to "stop playing with your swords."
I collect swords and daggers as well - but I'd wager your collection is probably more vast and impressive than mine!

One interesting tidbit of information is that Duke was originally supposed to die in the G.I. Joe Movie, but they decided on severely wounding him instead. Apparently, a lot of kids were very upset when Optimus Prime died in the 1986 Transformers animated movie. So much so that parents called in complaining.
One of my favorite (then) bands plays the theme for the Transformers movie (from the cartoon movie, not the live action).

Whenever the hero knocks down a building, I just pretend no one's home. Like they all went to the lake for the weekend and are in for a surprise when they get back.
So in that one fight scene - about 300 people were all at the same lake?

It's a very popular lake. Great fishing.

Apparently!
