Hm... Ult Cap is not that unpopular, really. The Ultimates sold well, and he was a central character in that.
It's an origin story! It's supposed to make people aware of those facts. I don't see why they need to bolt on a chorus line to explain his costume. How about "Here is your somewhat gaudy costume, for propaganda purposes." There, no need for dancing girls. OH WAIT I know why, it is their only chance for scantily clad girls in a WWII piece.
Honestly? I just found this. "Johnston, who prefers Ed Brubaker's current run on the series to the Cap stories of the 1960s and 70s, admits he wasn't a huge fan of the character or of comic books in general. But he believes that will serve him well on this project."
Dude doesn't like comics and he doesn't like Captain America. In fact, he prefers Bucky as Cap, not Steve.
