Anthony Mackie Thinks Captain America Shouldn’t Be About ‘America’
It's really a whole new era for Marvel’s iconic shield. Is Captain America a hero for all or just the U.S. of A?

While Marvel fans continue to debate whether Sam Wilson or Bucky Barnes deserved the shield and the mantle of Captain America in the MCU, Anthony Mackie has stirred even more controversy about the character. While promoting the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World in Rome, Mackie gave a surprising response to a question about Cap’s role as a superhero. According to the 46-year-old U.S. actor, Captain America is more about values like honor, dignity, and integrity than, well, America itself.  ...

Some Marvel fans are all for redefining Captain America as a symbol of universal virtues, while others argue the name itself ties the character closely to the U.S. ...

The new Captain America says Captain America shouldn’t represent America. Are there any actors and actresses employed by Marvel who aren’t complete and total morons?

It literally took only two quotes from Mackie to perfectly frame up that the upcoming “Captain America” film from the AWFL harpies running Disney is simply a vehicle for anti-Americanism & critical race theory inspired, condescending racialist pseudo-babble.

Anthony Mackie talks about what it means to be playing a black Captain America: “I feel like it’s just as important for black kids to see a black Captain America as it is for white kids ... Growing up one of my favorite superheroes was green ... it wasn’t about race or anything ... It was about him being a good guy trying to do the right thing"

“it’s very important for kids of all races to be able to watch something and have someone to look up to no matter what they look like, and see that that package comes with a good human being as opposed to what they’ve been perceived as by everyone else”

This movie was already on track to be a major flop ("flop" defined as not making back the money it cost to make it), these remarks are like the coup de grace finishing it off.

The Captain America franchise killer should g make movies in Mejico, or Spain or Italy, yeah Italy, he could make spaghetti hero movies about non America heros…….F’ him and Disney woke morons. Vanguard  and BlackRock, along with the lesser stockholders must be glad that there are so many idjits forking over their cash foor the theme parks because the movie business is in the toilet.

A poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and is seen no more, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing...

If America does not reflect the values of Captain America, maybe we should educate our children in those values, unlike the garbage Hollywood has dumped on them, ---and don't invite the worlds degenerates to our doorsteps.

Wonder Woman will undoubtedly be trans.

Superman originally started out as a bald madman (written by a godless German) that used his powers to reek havoc on mankind, after WWII the two Jewish writers shifted gears and rewrote Superman's character to a hero that used his powers to do good (partly to hide the real Superman origin).

@MeganC  Thanks I got some facts wrong, I got some right (thus telling me not to go on memory once again)... Bald Superman was introduced in 1938, but he was transformed from a villain to a superhero at the beginning of WW2. About 48:20 in the first video I linked. Unfortunately it seems some of the Youtube video skips some more info on this backstory and jumps right into Batman. I have the full movie somewhere in disk, but too lazy to sort all the thousands of DVDs I burned looking for the unabridged version.

Well, for one that guy is NOT Captain America, just a cheap, DEI imitation forced into the role by woke Disney.

Superman...debuted in the comic book Action Comics #1 (cover-dated June 1938 and published April 18, 1938)

QUOTE:  "In January of 1933, a short story titled “The Reign of the Super-Man.” appeared in a science fiction fanzine created by two teenagers at the time, Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel.

The “Superman” or title character of their story was a bad guy with a bald head and telepathic powers.

“The Superman theme has been one of the themes ever since Samson and Hercules; and I just sat down and wrote a story of that type – only in this story, the Superman was a villain,” Siegel later explained in an interview.

@MeganC

Note: as per one of the themes of the videos I linked, there was a tie-in with Greek (and Roman) Mythology.

The term "Übermensch," which translates to "Overman" or "Superman," is a concept from Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy that represents an ideal for humanity.
