Captain America's parents died during the Great Depression and he cited FDR's New Deal for why he survived.

He was a sickly art student before he got superpowers and explicitly fought nazis. I mean that was part of a trend of comics at the time, but they can't undo the fact that he punched Hitler.

It's interesting that comics are getting worse in certain ways, but not in the ways chuds think.

Marvel and DC are homogenizing their media for Disney and Warner. Extended universes, IP laws, and the genre's tendency to embrace the status quo means that making meaningful and permanent changes to continuity of almost impossible.

Being mad at depicting contemporary New York in a videogame is such a dumb hill to die on.

It's sad really. The chuds are witnessing the contradictions of capitalism but are reaching the totally wrong conclusions.
