An intriguing question caught my eye: Did Captain America really sleep through Vietnam? In the comics, he didn't- he woke up in 1964 and had to struggle with the tumult of the times, eventually dropping the shield and becoming Nomad for awhile, but for the purposes of the modern movie franchise, he apparently did.
And tentatively, I think I'm OK with that. Marvel picked the right director for Captain America this time around and the movie was excellent- I just hope that if the start digging into our current protracted war in later movies, they exercise some thought- thoughtful discussions of modern-day America would be nice. I think Marvel can pull of a kick-ass Cap sequel and mine some of the same territory.
