(I just realized that there are 2 female lawyers in the courtroom scenes who may in fact have been based on real lawyers. But since they're part of the frame and not the main narrative, they don't really count as characters. The purpose of the deposition scenes is to give the main characters a handy excuse to transition in and out of flashbacks, so the lawyers' roles are pretty much limited to asking "So what happened next?" and "Is that the way you remember it?")

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
What's with the hobbit feet?
Probably to protect his actual feet for a barefoot running scene.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
He does, however, look almost exactly like Captain America as drawn by Kevin Maguire in the Adventures of Captain America, Sentinel of Liberty limited series.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm still psyched.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I didn't realize it was set in the past. Is that a spoiler? I'm wondering how they're going to fold him into The Avengers.

Laga, in the comic books, Captain America was preserved in ice for several decades after the end of WWII, only to be discovered by the Avengers later on.
What really happened was that after WWII superheroes became unpopular and Captain America's comic book was canceled. After they became popular again in the 1960s they used him being frozen as a way to retcon the character back into existence.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Tivo alert: They're showing lots of classic Hammer Horror on TCM for this October, starting this Friday with Horror of Dracula (the first Christopher Lee Dracula, and the second horror movie of the Hammer explosion after Curse of Frankenstein).
They're also showing Brides of Dracula right after, and that's one of my favorite Hammers. It doesn't have Lee, but it has Cushing in one of his best performances as Van Helsing, and the story is really fascinating, lots of narrative twists away from the usual tropes, two really interesting female roles.
