Howling Commandos is crazy because mostly the Commandos only fight other fictional Marvel villains, but every once in a while the writers decide to include real historical figures. Like Those Wacky Nazis™️ is one thing when it’s evil genius Dr Zemo and his patented Death Ray, or the sinister Baron Strucker sitting in his Schloss or whatever the hell daydreaming about how best to personally humiliate his nemesis Nick Fury. But when it’s Nick And The Boys have to face off against actual real life Rommel or actual real life Hitler it’s soo jarring
I’ve been losing it over this Hitler issue in particular because, for multiple reasons, the Commandos have to fail in their mission. They can’t have WWII end in the middle of the series because they want to continue writing the series, and they also correctly seem to feel weird about pretending the war was won by the silly ass Howling Commandos. But because of that it just ends up feeling really bad? Like man you’re telling me World War II continued just because Nick Fury couldn’t crack it??? We sent Nick Fury personally to go get Hitler and he …
caught the wrong guy????
“Fury!! You meat-head!” MAN THIS IS SERIOUS lmaoo
