Sliding timescale do be a bitch like that, ridiculously old 80 something folks were just being born when he went in the ice in modern Marvel. The old people of today are the entitled boomer children of the folks he went to war with. There's maybe a hundred thousand people in the entire US who are vaguely similar in age to him, and most of them aren't having regular conversations. And even then, they have multiple times his life experience. They've actually lived for nearly a century longer than he's been alive and conscious. The idea of Steve hanging around with older folks made more sense in the 70s and 80s when those folks were the people he knew when he was young, because it'd been only 30 to 40 years at that point. Some 20-something he knew is in their 60s. Old, but you know. Alive. We are 40 years on from that point. There's nobody from him to sit around and go "Man, remember the Great Depression? That sucked!". He is an incredibly young man from the past, not an old man that looks vital.

Just imaging him saying that and someone replaying that yes they remembered 2008, it wasn't that long ago.

It is pretty funny to think about how when he went on ice to first reappearing was initially what, 20 years? Like somebody who disappeared around 9/11 coming back doesn’t feel much a man out of time, occasionally referencing how crazy Y2K madness was maybe?

Pre-Youtube, pre-Facebook, early Google, cellphones weren't commonplace yet and were mostly used to make calls. iPod wasn't out yet so were still thinking of music as inherently tied to physical disks. If the guy wanted to find out what they'd missed their first stop would probably be going to a public library for encyclopedias. Don't let the lack of flying cars fool you, a lot has changed and become "normal."

If you want the truth you need to follow these accounts on Twitter and whenever more than half agree on something, it might be accurate."
