The Web versus Captain Berlin. Art thought to be Irv Novick.

[cape-showdown]

I would like to submit Captain Berlin, a German superhero. His name is obviously a play on Captain America, but Captain Berlin is a parody of American superheroes as a whole, and Superman was the one who started it all. Also, Captain America doesn't wear a cape but Captain Berlin does! (His cape is the Berlin flag and the Berlin Bear adorns his chest.) He can fly like Superman which Captain America can't. His secret identity is a journalist like Superman. Basically, Captain Berlin is a mix of Captain America and Superman, but in pathetic. Also, I love him.

I have concluded that...

CAPTAIN BERLIN IS CAPE!!!

he is now a CONFIRMED CHARACTER!

tropes where person B is in love with person A and person B happens to be the only one who could fulfill everything person A needs and wants but person A doesn’t choose them anyway ohhhh i’m sick

[wtfdudewhydidyoutakemyusername]

Okay people, I’m here to make a potentially controversial proposal for a (slightly, dare I say, niche) Levi Ackerman fan cast that I have had swirling around in my little silly brain for a loooong time now and it’s this guy:

Like I just think, specifically as this character, it’s pretty spot on.

I mean…

Yeah anyway would love to hear opinions, thoughts, criticisms, whatever.

(And just for the sake of transparency, this actor is not a great guy, he’s a bit of a whack job, but this show specifically is great it’s called ‘Babylon Berlin’, he’s one of the main characters and he’s called Gereon Rath. if ur interested in pre and during WW2 Germany it’s an amazing watch. But yeah, as I say, the actor is a shit.)

I mean, Steve Rogers certainly did...

Der Dieb polizeiliche.

D-i-e-b. die Bi-ID. (Be ID)

Kurz zuvor noch sah ich erneut auch US-Fernsehen, eine Krimi-Serie. Das FBI suchte darin einen Serienkiller, verhaftete aber einen Dieb, verdächtigte ihn dieser sehr brutale Killer zu sein. Es gab dann wiederholt sogar auch eingespielte Rückblenden, die ihn uns als solchen zeigten, als höchst gewaltbereiten Mann, der auf sein Opfer per Schuhen sogar dann auch weiterhin noch eintritt, ist dieses bereits wehrlos und liegt es am Boden, er zielt damit auch gegen den Kopf!

Wer ist selbst der gesuchte Dieb vielleicht immer danach noch genauso, fragte ich mich sofort danach wieder auch! 

Ich griff dafür erneut zu einer bereits sehr erprobten und bewährten Methode, auch diesmal drehte ich die Buchsteibenreihe einfach ein weiteres Mal in ihr genaues Gegenteil um!

Dennoch kann es unmöglich sein, dass ein Dieb, selbst ist er ein gewohnheitsmäßiger oder hat er sie öfter schon begangen, zeitgleich immer noch genauso auch ein besonders brutaler und höchst gewiefter Mörder sein soll! Offenbar wird dann dennoch nicht dabei unterschieden!

*Es sei denn die Serie zeichnete Polizeiarbeit in den USA und die von Ermittlern auch bei serienmäßig begangenen Morden nur unkorrekt nach! Gerade aber auch solche Inhalte von Serien, handeln die dann wieder selbst über auch das FBI und seine Ermittler, man sieht sie nur sehr regelmäßig auch bei uns!

(Ob mein eigener Großvater Polizeichef auch unter den Nationalsozialisten geblieben wär? Ich glaube eher nicht! Stattdessen hätte er deren unzureichenden Ermittlungsmethoden wiederholt auch bemängelt, selbst gegen damals hier bei uns noch lebende Juden, und dass man dabei oft zu pauschal auch gegen etliche von ihnen vorging! 

Seine Ratschläge aber, behaupte ich, und obwohl auch er doch lang schon verstarb, gelegentlich kann sogar er sie mir auch weiterhin noch erteilen, aus dem Jenseits heraus, und auch er tut das dann sehr gern! Anderen Großvätern gelingt das so auch!)

For All I'm askin' (Ooh) Is for a little respect when you come hom(o), (just a little bit!)

(Aretha Franklin)

‘Rücksicht, keiner hat zuvor dies Wort gekannt und Nachsicht, die keiner je beim andern fand und Vorsicht, dass nie zerbricht, was uns verband! Einsicht, dass jeder seine Fehler hat und Weitsicht, das Leben es findet nicht nur heute statt, und Vorsicht, dass man den andern nicht zerbricht!!’

*’Rück(enan)sicht’, engl: Respect. ein deutscher Grand Prix der Eurovision-Beitrag aus auch der Vergangenheit schon und von der Band Saitenwind, das selbe Lied sang uns Mary Roos aber als Schlagersängerin einst auch schon vor. 

Toni Kroos. 

Als Profi-Fußballer spielt auch er heute für Madrid. Er ist jetzt dort Kapitän!)

“Der Po-fress in Firmen wie Organisationen er sollte nur ein allmählicher sein!” (macht uns selbst die RAA den Vorschlag in auch ihrer Broschüre in Berlin. Prozess.)

‘Moneypenny findet nun heraus, dass alle Hinweise zu Mr. White hinführen, einem ehemaligen Mitglied von Quantum, und dass sich dessen Spur in Österreich verliert am Alt(-e-)sausee’. (aus selbst: Spectre mit James Bond)

Am Inhalt der Serienfolge über die Arbeit des FBI fiel zusätzlich auf, wie einer dieser vom Dieb begangen Morde vonstatten gegangen sein soll. Ein vermutlich reicher Geschäftsmann stürzte dabei in den eigenen Swimmingpool. An den Händen war er gefesselt mit Handschellen. Ein Roboter wurde gezeigt. Er bewegte sich auf dem Boden des Pools entlang und überfuhr diesen Reichen. Er diente wahrscheinlich der Wasserfilterung!

Aber selbst was heutige Einsatzkommanndos der Polizei bei uns und anderer anbetriftt, die SEKs, zwingt der Name uns zum Nachdenken: der Sonder-Einsatz für den Po-man-go! Wobei gerade ‘Sonder-’ mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit sich ein weiteres Mal von ‘wonder’ aus dem Englischen herleiten lässt. Was auch möglich erscheint wäre ein gleichzeitiger Mix aus sowohl ‘wonder’ wie ‘ponder’. ‘This is not the time to wonder”. *po-’n-der. “Wunder gibt es immer wieder”. So lautet eine der gebräuchlichsten Übersetzungen für das englische ‘ponder’ beispielsweise auch: etwas (vorher oder noch vorher, rechtzeitig) bedenken. (Erst dann aber sollten wir uns wundern, was dann anschließend vielleicht wieder passiert, als direkte Folge von dem!) Diese Form von Sonder-Kommandos gibt es auch bei den weltweiten Militärs, und auch da gibt es sie teils schon ewig lange! In den USA sind es u.a. auch die Navy Seals!

die N-a-v-y : iv - a ‘n + (to) seal, seal: etwas (endgültig oder abschließend) besiegeln, auch ein Schicksal, to put an seal on something, der verbliche Ursprung kommt hier wohl aus dem frz. mit:  [confirm] sceller quelque chose. Und in der Tat kennt der benachbarte Franzose diese Form von Kommandos für das eigene Gebiet auch! (Genauso wie selbst das deutsche Militär sie immer schon noch genauso gehabt haben wird! Auch davon ist auszugehen! Wie für Afrika!). Und auch Russland beschäftigt solche Polizeispezialeinheiten. So ist die für das Stadtgebiet von Moskau immer ganz besonders bekannt!

Innerhalb auch Russlands sind die OMON und die SOBR als Sondereinheiten bekannt.

*Po Bi Ar** (P)O mon (’Er kann dein nicht von meins unterscheiden. Der Dieb. the be ID. Mossad. FBI.

Anti-terroreinheiten (bei Militär und Polizei). terror: The Rohr.
