Like I really like the idea of "what if the guilt became too much and Peter shirked his responsibility" because guilt is absolutely something that has hosed Peter up for years so it works better for him than "Jason Todd died and Batman quit because he was sad for the first time" and I ADORE that Jonah is the one who goes to him and says "we need Spider-Man" and the first scene in the mask, when he's doing jokes and beating guys up in his undies, and he says something about "it's not me, I'm somewhere else. The mask is talking now", is such a good inversion of the whole "Batman is the real Bruce Wayne" thing But His jizz

For a character that really should be the dumbest most gross jingoistic thing ever they do a lot of stories of him going rogue against USA fashyness. Guess it's because he was designed to be what people wanted to believe the USA was instead of what it is

Yeah I'm not super into comics but afaik Cap has always been about an idealized America and frequently ends up turning against the actual American government

Mark Waid did a story in the early 00s where skrulls kidnap and impersonate cap to start a race war and after beating the poo poo out of skrulls on live TV he just yells at America for being shitheads who would turn on each other so quickly the second an authority figure said "hey so, there's Undesirables hiding among you"

Cap in that book is exactly what you'd expect cap to be though Ultimates is trash but "what if cap woke up in 2000 with all his 50s ideas and his oorah jingoism" is fine The France line is the exception because cap would have known about the resistance!!!!!

captain america: winter soldier was basically him opposing what was a super drone program using helicarriers instead of standard drones before even finding out nazis in the government were planning to upload their own kill lists p good movie for a mcu one i think, the elevator fight scene holds up as p baller imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqIBGEcKhGs like others have said captain america has often been written as the embodiment of an idealistic america that never existed vs the one that does it's also probably why he isn't hated by every non american too, even ho chi minh bought into the idealistic version of america before recognizing it was nothing but a lie Percelus has issued a correction as of 16:23 on Oct 3, 2019 |

i'm not going to argue the mcu has good politics but the second movie is basically about drone murder and preemptive strikes while the third is idk but he goes rogue or something i'm standing by my take the second movie at least has a good message compared to most hollywood drivel that rather fellate drone operators as unsung heroes than question that drone murder is inherently wrong and needs to stop Percelus has issued a correction as of 16:34 on Oct 3, 2019 |

the third captain america movie fails to do much because it has such a dumb convoluted plot with the bad guys plan requiring very specific reactions from each of the avengers that would have been impossible to predict that basically you can ignore everything but the airport fight scene

Winter Soldier is good. Civil War has the kind of Nolan Batman issue of the solution to "government control bad" is that super powered vigilantes should be able to operate free of jurisdiction or accountability.
