You know, the more I think about it, the more pissed I am at how completely tone deaf the movie was about the things Americans did in the war. I think now what I'd like most from a Steve Rogers in the future story is for him to find out about Nagasaki and Hiroshima and the internment camps and realize that Americans were bullies, too. (I'm not making a statement about whether or not we should have dropped the bomb--but this was not a war where all the righteousness was on our side, I'm just saying.)

God. It really kind of pisses me off. This movie brought up a whole boatload of really loaded issues and then ignored them and I just don't feel quite that happy-go-lucky about the whole thing. I've never read the comics, I have no attachment to the character or the Marvel verse, and this movie just did not sell me on it. At all.
