Sometimes I really don't know why I pay attention to the internet
Apparently today Twitter at large became aware of the new Captain America film.
Apparently today Twitter at large decided to get really upset because it 'rips off' Ed Brubaker's Captain America stories.
Apparently today Twitter is full of fucking idiots.
This is how comics work today when it comes to characters like Captain America.
Comics company says "Hello, comics writer. We would like you to write some stories for this character, and when you do that, we will own them all."
Comics writer says "OK!"
This is called work for hire.
Work for hire means that comics company owns the results, not the writer. All are aware of this. All are happy with this.
So, Marvel using stories that they own from the comics for inspiration for the film? Entirely within thei right. They own the source material. They can do anything they care with it.
That's how work for hire works.
If Twitter at large can't understand that, then Twitter at large is full of fucking idiots and I despair for the future of the human race.
