I was fairly put off by the whole idea of a Captain America movie, until I actually saw it. I think anyone who’s still thinking he’s all about rah-rah patriotism and blind obedience has not seen even one of the movies. It’s just prejudice. They’re among the very best MCU movies.
Given they have the same directors, you can draw a direct line between Cap 2, 3 and Infinity War and Endgame. Before Civil War, if you’d told me one of these movies could juggle dozens of characters and not be a bloated turd, I’d never have believed it. Cap 3 showed there might be a chance that Avengers 3 and 4 could even work.
(In fairness, Endgame only had to deal with the core Avengers for most of it, but there were still dozens of balls in the air and of course they all drop into place at the end.)

Cap is the best of the core Avengers in the MCU

Cap is the best of the core Avengers in the MCU Correct. He's the only one who is a solidly decent (well, great, actually) human being absolutely 100% of the time, too. He's one of the few MCU characters I genuinely like (Kate Bishop joined that club with Hawkeye I admit). I do also mostly like Thor to be fair. Why there gotta be strife between these two brothers? |

Despite being one of the three with actual superpowers (not just money or training) I always found Cap the most relatably human of the phase 1 crew. I guess its the man out of time thing but he feels like he is more grounded and vulnerable than the rest.
He grows into the role rather than lording it up all entitled like Stark or Thor whose arcs are basically the opposite if his too

yeah, I'd never have though Cap would end up being such a fave character, at least for non-americans.
They did a pretty good job making him into the relatable one.

The only problem with having an MCU thread is that all the TV and films are talked about in the same place. So while I've come for opinions/chat about MCU in general and Hawkeye I'm wary of going back up the thread in case I see Spidey spoilers.

It's ok, nobody has revealed that JK Simmons is the new Venom yet.

Why not just use spoiler tags?

I kinda meant, no spidey spoilers outside spoiler tags.

Not a spoiler but one thing I don’t like in the new movie is the fawning dedication to Avi Arad. Fuck that guy.

I feel the same way about how Amy Pascal's name is plastered all over it.
I remember a bit from those leaked emails, and she's pretty terrible.

Avi Arad has a history of meddling and forcing his decisions into things, usually from a perspective of “what will sell the most merchandise?”
Any bad decision in any of the Spider-Man or X-Men films basically came directly from him. He nearly killed the MCU before it even started because he wanted them to launch straight into Avengers.
He also has a history of removing PoC from films, either in the editing room or blocking casting altogether. Not quite as bad as “we can replace Terrence Howard because all black people look the same” from Perlmutter, but still some dodgy stuff happening.

In fairness, Terrence Howard’s casting kind of sucked though. I found it quite unbelievable that he was mates with Downey Jr, whereas there’s good mates chemistry with Downey/Cheadle.

It is still amusing that he played the big I am and got dropped in a heartbeat, if only he had shut his mouth he'd have been in so many films.

If he wasn't an actor I guess he'd be making TikTok videos about his mathematical "theory" or something damn. 1x1=2 indeed. His wikipedia page is quite an adventure. |

Square root of 16 is 4
Square root of 4 is 2
Square root of 2 is 1
Makes perfect sense!
