    Default Is Old Man Rogers ill-equipped to lead?

    I for one rally can't stand him.
    Never was a fan of his, but since he he has gotten old he really became a Captain Ahab-Wannabe, completely narrow minded, putting personal feelings above the greater picture and alienating allies without even noticing.

    Whenever I think of him I can only think of his childish, holograph-smashing tantrum.

    Is there anyone who sympathises with him?

    I think you can validly criticize his handling of the Illuminati, though it literally took 5 seconds for him to agree to work with them once they actually started talking, so it wasn't that bad.

    I was fine with him in Axis, for what it's worth.

    I'm fine with him. I'm hoping he replace Maria Hill as the director of SHIELD sense Falcon is going to continue being Captain America after Secret War.

    It really depends on who is writing him. Some writers seem to struggle with him, others know how to make him shine.
    I suppose that's true or almost any character

    He seems to be calling the shots at SHIELD in Hickmans time jump.

    He knows the ins and outs better than most. What he lacks in physicality now, he makes up for in respect and experience. So he smashed a holograph? People get frustrated.

    I suppose it's a matter of perspective. I'm sure many would replace "old" with "psychotic" and "holograph-smashing" with "murdering Xavier" to describe someone else.

    How does one smash a hologram?

    With mad hologram smashing skills.

    No, but actually he smashed some device showing the hologram.

    I love Old Man Steve. I hope this guy is the new status quo. Perfect replacement for Old Man Nick

    The problem with Old Man Steve AND Falcap is that they need better writing.

    So now he refuses to give Tony another chance of helping (after he just saved their butts) just so he can work his issues out by brawling with him?

    That's a new low for Old Man Rogers.

    I think preventing a reverted Stark from rebuilding the next world was a good call. It may be influenced by personal feelings, but we saw what reverted Stark did in San Fransisco. He's a loose cannon on his best day, and an out of control firework most others. Leaving him to rebuild humanity? I'll pass on that.

    And I apologize for my earlier comment, I didn't realize how snarky it came off when I first posted it.
