6. The Creators are NOT a Conversational Weapon for You to Use
Shut up about Joe Simon and Jack Kirby.
Like, RIGHT. NOW.
They aren't still here to give their opinions either way and odds are they wouldn't care. They both understood how work for hire worked (even though Kirby wasn't super happy about it) and they watched MUCH WORSE happen to those characters. You pretending like you know what they would have said is incredibly disrespectful. Say what you will about Marvel, but don't dig up Cap's creators and put words in their mouths like a friggin' Weekend at Bernie's remake.
No one knows how they would have felt because THEY AREN'T AROUND TO TELL US. If I had to hazard a guess, as a guy who didn't know either of them but has read one heck of a lot about them, I'd guess they'd just be happy the character they created was still relevant. But again, that's just a guess, based on researching the heck out of both of these men.
What we DO know is the opinion of the man who brought Steve Rogers back. The man who added the whole "man out of time" aspect to his history among other things. Stan Lee. And Stan"¦ is totally fine with it. In an interview, Lee said it was a "helluva clever idea" calling it a "crazy idea" but "a good idea". Soooooooooo, yeah.
Oh, and for those of you claiming that this twist is disrespectful to Simon and Kirby because they were both Jewish, let's talk in the next entry because"¦
