Line 7:
*** Fuck you.
*** He's right though, I mean, Captain America is one of the strongest guys around, so I'm sure one old man is more than worth it to bring him down.
**** While such reasoning is entirely in-character for Ultimate Nick Fury, given that he is an absolutely callous sonofabitch, I think the point that people were making was that alleged law enforcement personnel started a fight in the presence of innocent bystanders when they didn't strictly need to. Simply calling Ult Cap on his phone and asking him to report in would have one of two results: either Cap would obligingly walk right into the ambush, or else he'd take off running. Either one gets him the hell out of the park first and since they've already moved their troops into position they can just hit him on the move.
* Okay, so after the Liberators' attack on America was crushed, Captain America told Nick Fury the Ultimates were quitting government sponsorship and becoming an independent superteam because they're presence abroad was the cause of the invasion in the first place. Setting aside the not-even-barely-concealed left-wing propaganda throughout the whole Liberators story arc, how is that even possible? For one thing, most of their technology and resources are SHIELD property. I could arguably see Tony Stark going independent since he built the Iron Man suit on his own, but how does Captain America get away with it? Once he quits government sponsorship, shouldn't he be immediately arrested as a non-sanctioned genetic mutation?
** It's CAPTAIN AMERICA. The guy's a national icon despite his jerkass tendencies, ''and'' he and his team just saved everybody's hides from a group who wanted nothing less than to destroy the USA. All told, I'm sure the higher-ups would figure it acceptable to let them off the hook.
