HOW DARE YOU, BLAH BLAH RANT :)

To be fair, my point is less 'they'll undo it soon', and more that I think it's actually a brainwashing plot that happened back during the recent Standoff mini-event, where Cap was turned back to his normal self from the Old Man he's been for the past year or two, while the Red Skull (Who has amazing telepathic powers these days) was watching and giving ominous narration.

This is of course countered by Marvel making big grand statements that Cap has always been a Hydra agent, and nothing will ever be the same again. Because Marvel Comics marketing department is run by drunk baboons.

HOWEVER

deserve better, not because they were among the early gods

This is also very true, and a large part of the reason I'm not going to continue buying the comic. I'll vote with my wallet, as I've done with DC for the past few years (As quite a few people have done actually, which led to DCs sales dropping to the point they panicked and tried damage control this week).
