I SO AGREE. SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS. I really loved how they used the propaganda angle too! And how NICE he was. I like moral ambiguity but I dislike the DARK MAN DARK 90s comic idea, and I hate the idea that it's *easy* to be good and nice. It isn't. It's heroic to stay heroic, and it's not boring. So I was utterly full of glee.
Actually the composition of Steve's team wasn't anachronistic, really: the US Army wasn't segregated. (It's part of what sparked the civil rights movement in later decades.) The nationalities was a little more unusual but I went with it - I was really pleased to see some Brits, especially, instead of America pretending it did everything alone :)
SO AGREED on the Asgard connection. SO COOL.
I like Cap/Howard only so it can make Cap/Tony more angstful.
