      Also I was talking about the comics.

      The comics and the movies have been echoing one another for decades. "Marvel Unlimited" was explicitly created to facilitate this.

      Red Skull definitely sounds like a “communazi” name, but everything about his portrayal is fascist.

          In an issue that comes out at the tail end of the Cold War.

          Weird how we have a Soviet Red Skull character from roughly the beginning of the Cold War to its end.

              The two Skulls

              They made a second Soviet Skull and ran it for thirty five years during the thick of the Cold War.

              This Malik guy is written like an afterthought.

              A thirty five year long afterthought.

              There are franchises with shorter print runs.
