Today, I have finally got the dosk to watch the Captain America movie and bask in its awesome. He also says that every single image in the end credits references a specific contempory/period propaganda poster. Trust him, dosk knows his posters (and much else).
It also makes the Captain and Quentin story in A+X equally interesting (as if it wasn't before).
Quentin's contempt for authority and (what he considers) and blind respect for/obidience to those in power matches surprisingly well with Young Steve's anger at power being in the hands of the wrong people and determination to get it back where it can do some good.
Okay for Quentin substitue "get it back where it can do some good" for "get it to me". And the unspoken follow through being that he is a genius and he is A) fed up with the "grown-ups" getting it wrong and B) would be far better at getting it right. Except when his ego gets in his way or his over-confidence means that he doesn't think things through... something Young Steve seriously didn't have.
