“You may be Captain America, but you are not Steve Rogers…boy.”
Comment on ‘Captain America: Brave New World' bombs at test screening
Emperor@feddit.uk 1 week agoThey’ve been hammering out the trailer in cinemas for a few weeks now. It’s not filling me with enthusiasm.
“You may be Captain America, but you are not Steve Rogers.”
That may come back to haunt them.

Yeah I saw this trailer in IMAX when I went to see Joker 2 and I almost bood because I was hoping to see the Thunderbolts* trailer instead. Although I do like the Cap 4 trailer.

I mean, Anthony Mackie is not Chris Evans. But they should have leaned into that. Play with the insecurity. Sam isn’t Steve, and pretending that Sam can learn to throw the shield in an afternoon, or stand against the might of Thanos. But Sam can lead, and he can inspire others. The show did a piss poor job of riding the fence on whether the terrorists were sympathetic characters. From the sound of it, the studio wants to have their cake, eat it, and sell it all at the same time. Is Sam “as good” as Steve? Does a black man wearing the flag condone the nation’s challenging historical (and current) crimes of racial violence and oppression? Will Americans accept a new person carrying the shield? Will the world governments allow a moral leader to operate autonomously the way Steve did? The show raised all of those questions, and then just kinda shruged.
