Since the captain america of the past was the result of a military program initiated by a government directive. Any such program today would likely result in a super nazi So, no thank you. Pity
I mean, right here, we are looking at a pic where Captain America could have killed Hitler but instead chose to give him what is, by his standards, a love tap.
Cap isn't even one thats opposed to killing.
Gotta keep in mind comics are funhouse mirrors for the society theyre created in. Pretty sure killing hitler wouldve been seen as the perfect end to a campaign, but then there would be less chance Cap would be needed again
True, I know the real behind the scenes reason he didn't punch him so hard his head came off of course. But in universe its an issue. I know most comics had lots of crap of why he didn't get killed by the supes? He had a giant collection of crap like kryptonite and whatnot to keep them away.
This was one of the things I liked about the MCU. MCU Cap would totally have killed hitler.
