Steve Miller, Writer of Stuff said...: Three possiblities....

1. They were left out, because they're offensive to Germans.

2. The Tarantino and Cruise people never turned the Nazi uniforms back into the costume rental place, so they had to leave Nazis out of this film.

3. Captain America will be too busy fighting evil American racists and warmongers and puppets of the Zionist Jewish Conspiracy within the ranks of the US Army to even get around the Nazis.; 3 November 2010 17:52
joe bloke said...: I just watched the new cartoon. there's no nazis in that, either. if you're right, Erik, he's really good. but I'm guessing it's the first of Steve's options, which is just plain old annoying as crap. did I mention there's no nazis in the new cartoon, either. lots of Germans. no nazis, not a one. toss.; 3 November 2010 20:13
Erik Johnson said...: I think the no Nazis in the cartoon has more to due with crippling censorship in animation made for "kids", not to mention running under the Disney banner.

Also the cartoon has a limited runtime, so it makes more sense for HYDRA to have ties with battling Cap back in the day, experiment and monsters from Asgard, and stealing Tony's tech, so that everything ties together for your team based show and have everything connect in some way.

I don't think anyone involved in a movie specifically devoted to Captain America would be dumb enough to suggest deleting Nazis from a WWII piece, especially in a movie, grounded in some sense of reality and targeted at adults who have a moderate understanding of history.

My guess is that HYDRA will likely be an offshoot of the Nazis, like a super-science branch or something.; 3 November 2010 22:04
