Sweet!
Nice to see the Cosmic Cube in the movie!
Only thing that I think is stupid is the absence of the Swastika...I know some people are offended by the symbol, but TBH, this is a war film, fiction or not...

Agreed Rich. Actually it's an important symbol of why Captain America came into being. I am sure Jewish community would rather it be there as a reminder to everyone of their suffering under those tyrants. Trying to brush it under the carpet is just silly. However, these are just concept art prints it may still be there in the final film.

okay...that makes me feel better about the situation...still dislike the fact that they are all wearing hydra patches instead of Nazi patches. Would rather see Cap kicking Nazi ass in WW2, political correctness be damned!!

Totally true.
Thing is, regardless of what branch of the Nazi forces you were in, SS, Airforce, Navy, logistics, you would wear the Swastika.
It's wasn't considered optional, so lets hope it's in the film.

Thousands of years before Hitler took it and spun it in the other direction, the swastika was an ancient symbol of peace. Look it up if you don't believe me.

Yeah, the Egyptians and the Romans used it for that very reason, before totally warping it's meaning

I appreciate that. Its not just the swastika but how it was laid out on a round white circle on a red band which distinguishes it from the swastika that appeared on the Buddha statues from the past.

The symbol has many meanings for different civilizations, however, after Hitler, it will always stand for hate & genocide.
I can understand why MARVEL chooses to keep it out.
