I actually thought it would have been a great idea to include original Sergeant Nick Fury with the Howling Commandos in the Captain America movie, and then include some sort of epilogue scene of him going home to his black wife. I suppose the hope with this thing in the comics is that it will be like John Byrne bringing back Aunt May in an incredibly stupid story. Ten years later, no one remembers or cares how it happened, but they got Aunt May back. Doubt it will work though, they’re not going to keep the original Fury gone enough to make it not be confusing.
