Captain America Isn't The Hero You Think He Is

Опубликовано 1 ноября 2022, 12:45

Captain America is the guiding light of right and wrong. He’s a man who took the sunk cost fallacy of American idealism and decided, nope, America will have to live up to its ideals if I have to do it myself. He’s not your go to if you want to do something that would be…morally complex. It’s that very nature of someone who chronically does the right thing even if it’s in the wake of something not working out. When he breaks that pattern and makes a bad decision or at the very least one that’s going to be contentious it stands out. With the exception of issues that have all the sensitivity you’d expect in a 1940s comic book not aging well, there’s only a handful of times where one could legitimately object to a course of action or at the very least the intent. Despite his strength, agility, and bouncy shield Cap doesn’t always look at every problem as one he can punch. While he’s a super soldier, he’s still a person underneath prone to getting frustrated or mad or manipulated by sentient fundamental powers of the universe into becoming your complete opposite or you get too close to the explosion of a drug den. Or he’s an entirely different Captain America where something in that alternate reality has given Cap a little more leeway as far as the wholesomeness of his acts. What’s your favorite time Captain America was the bad guy? Does it make you like him more? Let us know in the comments and while you’re there be sure to like and subscribe for the latest content.
