Thought Bubble Thursdays #6 - Fates Worse Than Death

Yeah. If any part of a character's essential perspective is based on antiquated notions, like, I think, Captain America will soon be guilty of, they can be forgotten.

Actually, they've been doing a good job with Captain America as of late. They're changing the character as a reflection of the times. For a time, Falcon took up the SHIELD while Steve Rogers was aged to his proper age (probably as a depiction of, as you said, antiquated notions). But, Steve Rogers' youth has since been restored, and he's been through the wringer because of recent events.

I guess we'll see, but I wonder if even the notion of patriotism will become antiquated in the US as it has in Germany.

I'm pretty sure it would. I think the main factor working for that is time. Given enough of it, patriotism would surely wane, especially with polarizing views on pertinent topics.

Here's hoping!

Haha! Ever the contrarian :D

Am I? I thought we were agreeing! Ha!

Oh we are! Haha! I just meant you're a contrarian with regard to the popular opinion about patriotism haha!

Aha! Yes, we recognize the dangers of nationalism.
