'Captain America: The First Avenger' Movie is the Fantasy Version of World War II [Review] - ComicsAlliance | Comic book culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews

To call the 2011 Captain America the live-action adaption of the character ever is an understatement! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I suggest that the following two reviews because they are fun to read. I thought that they nailed who Captain America is perfectly. His humility, nobility, and abilities. In the Comics, Steve Rogers was also an artist and they showed that talent in the movie. Amazing.

Because Nazi Zombies Are So Cliché - Topless Robot

A film about Nazis using Frankenstein's technology to fight World War II? I'm there.

Toward the end of World War II, Russian soldiers pushing into eastern Germany stumble across a secret Nazi lab, one that has unearthed and begun experimenting with the journal of one Dr. Victor Frankenstein. The scientists have used the legendary Frankenstein's work to assemble an army of supersoldiers stitched together from the body parts of their fallen comrades - a desperate Hitler's last ghastly ploy to escape defeat.

Van Lente Confirms Nazis Will Appear in 'Captain America: The First Avenger' - ComicsAlliance | Comics culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews

Great news! Nazis will be a part of the Captain America movie. I was really concerned the fight against the Nazis defined World War II and the creation of the character! Turns out that Hydra will be part of the Third Reich! This is a good thing and makes me think the movie will be even better than I originally thought.

However! In support of his Captain America: First Vengeance, a free-to-read digital comics prelude to the events of The First Avenger, Fred Van Lente gave an interview to Newsarama in which the film's apparent downplaying of Nazis was directly addressed.
It is not some kind of rewriting of world history. There are Nazis in the movie, I've read the script. It is not trying to pretend that the Nazis didn't exist, or that World War II didn't happen the way we all know it from history.

HYDRA Tanks in 'Captain America' Film Are Totally Not Nazi Tanks - ComicsAlliance | Comics culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews

Comics Alliance has published a few pictures showing vehicles from the new Captain America movie. Know what's missing? Nazi insignias are missing! Where are the Nazis? In the story, the Nazis are being replaced with Hydra??! Well, at least they didn't make up some villains from scratch. Hydra is from the comics at least. I would like to know why. The article suggests that it's to simplify the story. As if children can't understand WWII. WWII is one of the most fascinating periods in history. One of the things I like about it is that there is a surface level simplicity: Nazis bad. It seemed like that in that War it was really easy to know who to shoot.

DC/Marvel Universe: Director Joe Johnston Offers Commentary on Captain America Pictures

Here is an interview with Joe Johnston who is directing Captain America. It seems to turn out that Nazis are not the villains in World War II but an organization from the comics - Hydra. My question: why not Nazis? They have taken the same idea on Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. I'm going to try to find out why. Otherwise, the movie sounds like something I can't wait to see it.

Take 10: Marvel's World War II Heroes

Here Marvel lists the top 10 characters in the Marvel Universe who operated during World War II. I'd have ranked Captain America as number 1 not number 2 and I would have included Wolverine, but I like the list anyway.
