I thought that was pretty great. I think Evans and the writers have done a really great job over the 4 movies of fleshing out Cap and making him a more interesting character than I ever thought he could be. I didn't read him in the comics because I always just thought of him as a symbol of a bygone era more than a hero.

And while that's a funny line, it goes straight to who Cap is as a person. He immediately empathizes with the twins and casts their decisions in the best possible light. He has faith in their goodness long before anyone else does. Cap is just so great.

I also read an interesting article about the comics, not the movie Cap, about how Captain America is really just an icon for the New Deal. He is a firm believer in the four freedoms, and his patriotism is not based on nationalistic jingoism but of a genuine love of the glorious melting pot of American cities.
