What's the Cap-Hydra stuff?
There's been a big reboot of Captain America, where Steve Rogers has taken back the title (he wasn't, for awhile). Through the course of the first issue, there's an extended flashback of his early days as a member of Hydra, which is really an organization dedicated to helping the downtrodden, no really. And Steve has really been working for Hydra all along, working for their true goals. The issue ends with him throwing a guy out of a plane to protect his secret and saying "Hail Hydra."
People are annoyed.
Is Hydra actually a bad org?
Yeah Hydra is pretty much Nazis. The movies directly tie them to the Nazis the comics not so much.
Also Captain America was created before the US entered WWII and it was a big deal. The men who created Captain America were Jewish (although I don't think that was public knowledge at the time) so having a new comic book character debut punching Hitler when not all Americans were on board with "Hitler is bad" was a big deal.

Dinner of champions!
Yesterday was the last day of school for Matilda. We made it to Japantown today and now she's at a friend's for an afternoon playdate.
Emmett's done with his Soph year of college and we're barely going to see him next week before he's off to be a camp counselor again (best gig ever he tells me).
I mean...HOW. NOPE. Does not compute.
Shit, I'm old.
If it feels any better, I'll note that he's still 19 until September. So he's a teenager and not an adult yet.
