"Fans of all walks" have already accepted that a man can build a barely-more-than-man-sized suit of power armor more powerful than a jet fighter fueled by a pint-sized power source that may as well be magic and is effectively a bionic implant. Or that a pint-sized scientist can transform into a 9 foot tall green monster when he gets really mad. I really don't think they're going to get hung up on Captain America not being dressed in blue fatigues with a white star on them. In fact, they'd likely get more hung up with a perfectly accurate "Ultimate World War II" costume, because that is not the most common portrayal of the character. Let us not forget that the "Ultimate" Captain America is not the mainstream version of the character, and of the two primary "Ultimate" costumes his modern version (which his movie outfit more closely resembles) is closer to his "classic" appearance than his World War II fatigues.

I have no problem with this. I support this mind set completely. Of course the degree of changes is subject to ones personal opinion. Something I'm just going to apologize for expressing since it's obvious none of you seem to understand my points or opinions, let alone agree with me on any level. It's almost as if you guys are insulted by me having an opinion.

What I'm saying is that I don't like it as much as the Ultimate outfit and since the Ultimate outfit is realistic, does correspond with the period, and war this film is taking place in. I don't think it would be a bad idea to include it in the movie. Sure the outfit in the images we are discussing could work. Thats fine and a perfectly respectable opinion. BUT I DON"T LIKE IT. IS THAT OK?

And this is why people are telling you to "chill out." Nobody's "attacking" you for having an opinion. They're disagreeing with you and expressing that disagreement, and your attempts to portray it as some kind of vendetta against you only serve as a passive-aggressive attempt to suppress THEIR opinions. You have a right to your opinion but guess what? People have just as much of a right to not agree with you, and state why. People understand your opinion just fine, but understanding and agreement are not the same thing.

Welcome to the internet.
