Maybe he's annoying when lecturing everyone that they should be drinking milk instead of whiskey and need to sit up straighter?
Right. Sir. Honey.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Powers administered via needle? Also the whole Red Scare Cap of the Fifties.
I'm not getting what you mean for those as flaws.
I'm very curious what they do to give him depth. Which is one reason I'm glad they've gone with such a charismatic actor, because there's not much in the short version of the character's history that sucks me in. For me, the Captain America movie is a step on the way to The Avengers which is getting Iron Man onto a team, for RDJ lulz.

He's a fascist junkie.

How does his origin story make him a junkie? You might as well say that Wonder Woman has the personality flaw of being made of clay.
And I don't really think he's played out all that fascist either, but all I know of his political leaning is which way he went in Civil War. I'm just not seeing what you're seeing.

I'm not serious, just alluding to the way Joss turned the Captain America thing on its head with Riley being hooked on his super serum.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh my, I hadn't actually clicked on it before, but that is AWESOME. So cute. I need to watch the whole thing when I get home.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I have it waiting in another window while I finish watching Supernatural.

Oh, man, I've got a meeting at work in a few minutes, but the first five minutes were amazing!

That was quite awesome. I hope we get to see the next two chapters.
