Quote: Grimm said: I don't know if Cap. America is as much a problem for Marvel as much as things like say, Reed Richards and Ben Grimm fighting in WW2, or Tony Stark being in Vietnam, and those things constantly having to be revised/rewritten/reconfigured, etc.
The reason I mentioned Cap was that (A) we were talking about WWII; and (B) Cap's whole personna is tied to that era and the idea that he's "the living LEGEND" of that war. At some point, Marvel needs to accept that, to most of their readers, WWII might as well be the Civil War or the Revolutionary War and stop writing the character as if everyone in their universe has vivid memories of Cap's exploits during that era.
Let's face it: the average person under forty probably doesn't know who Jimmy Doolittle, Audie Murphy and/or Pappy Boyington are either.
