You all may be thinking \u201cwell that\u2019s so dumb! Making Steve Rogers a bad guy! Yuck!\u201d

\n\n

But it\u2019s so much more than that. They made Steve Rogers, Captain America, the character Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, two Jews, created as a statement against Hitler, as a statement against American\u2019s support of nazis, and made him hydra. They made Steve Rogers a nazi.

This is the biggest slap in the face to Jews by marvel and that\u2019s saying a hell of a lot coming from that company.
