I still don't quite understand the outrage about Hydra Cap since these types of stories have been so ubiquitous in superhero comics history and I do think Spencer is trying to do smart, political Cap comics. However, if you think the comic is bad, that's one thing; if it offends you that Cap is a fascist, I can…

The Greyjoys are my favorite bunch (unfortunately we're not getting Euron, Aeron or Victarion in the show, it seems), for example.

Whatever the movie might have been had Fincher been left to his own devices, it's thoroughly…
