While the arc itself wasn't bad, there was a really terrible moment at the end of Rick Remender's "Castaway in Dimension Z" Cap story arc, I'm talking about the Sharon Carter stuff. She shows up, shoots a little kid who she sees fighting Cap, doesn't seem to care that she shot said child and then kind of unceremoniously dies. The whole thing was so poorly done that I thought it was some kind of fake out but then the first issue after that arc ended characters were all "Yup, Sharon's dead."

OK, just going through this thread for the first time in a while, and I haven't read Cap since Brubaker left, but seriously? Could Remender not just... not have Sharon in the book? He can't just put the toy he doesn't like back in the box for the other kids, he has to rub it in dogshit and then smash it because 'it was covered in crap'? That whole description comes off like someone who wants to get rid of the character, but doesn't even care enough to pretend it's a big deal.

If it makes you feel any better, she's back now. She got a fakeout death just like Cap's son.

She's aged also, so Old Steve and old Sharon can settle down together.
