No, as upset as Twitter is about it, it's definitely real.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to change my tagline.
That's insane. That noise you hear is Kirby spinning like a jet turbine in his grave.
Talk about pissing on a character.

Seriously. I'm totally boggled that Marvel thought this would be a GOOD idea. "Hey, the movie with this character in the title did really well -- let's make him a FUCKING NAZI!"
Yeah, let's take the character created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, who, in his first issue was depicted PUNCHING HITLER, a year before the Nazis declared war on us, let's make him a LITERAL NAZI.
Not to mention that he appears to be terrible at being undercover: the reveal comes after he throws Jack Flag out of a plane because...of reasons? Because he couldn't think of a good cover story for...whatever HYDRA BUSINESS he was actually doing? HOW DID HE MANAGE FOR 75 YEARS AND JUST CAN'T DEAL WITH JACK FLAG IN A PLANE.
Not only is it a terrible betrayal of one of the most-consistently decent human beings in comic books, but the timing feels especially bad as we fathom the possibility of a Trump presidency. A time like this is when we especially need a character like Steve Rogers setting an example for what this country should be.
Well, if he starts punching Trump, I'm not going to complain.
