...did you watch the movies, anon? There was an entire scene in Avengers dedicated to drawing this exact comparison.
And yeah, he kind of actually would enslave and eradicate humanity Hitler-style if he felt like it. Even without said scene, I thought this was made pretty obvious through his actions alone.
It was a scene with an older man who made an explicit reference to not bending before bullies ("There are always men like you"). Cap made a similar statement, too, and you can't really say they were referencing another war because, uh...
"You know, the last time I was in Germany, and I saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing."
...yeah. So I really have no idea how you saw this as anything other than deliberate.
Oh come on, don't be obtuse. The movies are written to be accessible to audiences that haven't seen the Captain America movie, so the general public is going to think of Hitler before the Red Skull, which is by design. (Besides, the Red Skull is...another Nazi, so.)
In fact, Captain America was literally created to be about punching Nazis in general, and Hitler in particular, directly in the face. (The fact that he was created by two Jewish guys during a time in American history where "Hitler is evil" wasn't a no-brainer is one of the coolest things about the character, and worth reading up about if you've got a bit of spare time. As a quick demonstration, the first issue, published in March 1941, famously had this (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c7/Captainamerica1.jpg) cover, and the US didn't actually enter the war until December.)
...That said this whole thing is a dumb argument; OP already confirmed they were referencing a meme rather than really trying to make a statement about Loki.
that has nothing to do with my point, which is about the history of Captain America specifically rather than marvel vs. dc, but okay, cool! good on them.
