I saw some of these on Tumblr, together with a snippet about the Avengers showing Steve Star Wars, I'll see if I can find it again. I can't remember which of these lists we got in Austria (I think UK?), I mostly remember Star Wars/Trek and I'm happy they're on all the lists. (I think Steve might enjoy Star Trek more because of the focus on exploration, building the future etc.)

I got these from Tumblr too, but I can't remember where, because Tumblr. (Also on all the lists: Thai Food, Nirvana and Rocky.)

yeah, I think Steve would like Star Trek better too.

I'm pretty sure for the Italian one it just says Championship--you can see the lower part of the last p in the corner, the page isn't big enough to put more in.

I know most of the political events and am failing miserably at the cultural ones, but that's not new. I didn't even know who Troubleman was when they were talking about it.

[dhampyresa.livejournal.com]

You're right, I don't know why I thought there was more than one word. Probably because all the others have dates and not this one.

I don't know most of the stuff on some lists myself, nor did I know what or who Troubleman was.

I am a little surprised that only in the US has Steve apparently actually watched Star Wars.

Also I did not realize until right now that Daft Punk are French. I humbly apologize.

[dhampyresa.livejournal.com]

And only in Australia does Steve learn about space travel!

It took me a fairly long time to get that too, and I have no excuse.

I think Daft Punk pretends that they are robots 99% of the time and I don't think robots are as concerned about nationality so I think it's understandable :P

[dhampyresa.livejournal.com]

Be fair. Sometimes they pretend to be blue-skinned aliens instead of robots.

Yea! \0/ This is so cool! I'm not allowed to write any new exchange letters until I've finished my rarewomen fic, but I'm going to link this with lots of ♥s in my Cap prompts for Not Primetime.

I'm a little surprised the U.S. list doesn't have any sports-related events on it. Isn't Steve from Brooklyn - no one talks Dodgers with him?

I love that Star Wars, and only Star Wars, is checked off of the US list. I can only assume that someone sat down and watched the original trilogy with him and then buckled under the terrible responsibility of deciding where to start with Trek.

[dhampyresa.livejournal.com]

Feel free to do so! I like ♥s.

I have to admit I know nothing about sports, but if I had to hazard a guess, I would think it's because the US list was the first created, before they thought to differentiate them, hence why it includes the Berlin Wall.

Probably yes. I hope someone writes that fic.
