...who did they think their audience was for a 60s period piece anyway? Idiots.

Also the stupid comic book movies.

Captain America is now just called “cap” and doesn’t wear the red white and blue or use the iconic shield anymore.

Wonder Woman’s costume used to be nothing but stars and stripes. Now she’s positioned as an international hero along with Superman who won’t say “for truth, justice and the American way” anymore.

Watch the furor grow to the point that such a scene is inserted in the home video edition. :-/

No $ from this American for Canadian error.

I was going to add this to my Netflix queue until I heard the movie conveniently leaves out Astronaut Neil Armstrong planting the American flag on the moon. I saw that live on TV and it was/is one of the highlights of my life. Something I’ll never forget.

[The people have spoken]

How could this be omitted? The whole purpose of the moon landing was to meet Kennedy’s challenge after the Soviets smoked us by getting into space first.

You can also suggest alternatives to friends and family:
* October Sky
* Apollo 13
* Hidden Figures - doubles as SJW fodder, look, black women helping in NASA

Beating the Ruskies was one of the purposes to getting to the moon.

The planting of that flag, which was a live broadcast, was equivalent to spiking the football over your opponent.
