Death of Captain America

[A serious film review with spoilers] [7800 words are slightly longer]

I am probably not afraid of any other criticisms when I write this topic. In the comic 616 main world, the death of Captain America is the greatest death, and in the MCU, Steve Rogers is alive, but his spirit of belonging to Captain America is already dead.

Although I have also said that each parallel universe in the Marvel universe is independent and has its own unique settings, but the basic framework has not changed, or it can be said that there should be no distortions in the three views. of.

Superheroes are not allowed to have selfish desires. However, the reason why a hero is a hero is that he can weigh public and private and make choices that are beneficial to most people, even if this choice will harm their own emotions and interests. Just as the chief mate Spock said in "Khan's Wrath", "The needs of the majority are more important than the needs or personal needs of the few", and as the Steel Lux said to the cheap in "Deadpool", "Several "Moment", the Chinese expression is "a thought of a Buddha and a thought of a devil".

I still have to admit that "Captain America 3" is a successful commercial film. It has all the successful commercial elements, first-line stars, dazzling special effects, and it can make a lot of money at the box office. From this perspective, this film even It is able to reach a superb level.

However. Film is of course a kind of entertainment, but the expression of ideas and meanings in it will invisibly affect the real society, and it is also a test of the three views of the viewers. A good film can be circulated as a classic film. There must be more connotative parts under the surface, which is also an important criterion for judging the success of the film.

For me personally, the old version of "Spider-Man" is the superhero that has the greatest impact on me. "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility" is also one of the most profound principles I have learned.

When it comes to Captain America, this comic character, given this name, more or less represents the meaning of the "American spirit" that the author has placed on him, that is, "freedom", and Captain America's star shield represents "protection and defense." In this sense, this fictional character born in World War II is also the unyielding spirit of a generation.

In the new century, Marvel’s purpose of opening the MCU is of course not for value input, but for a sum of money to be accounted for. They naturally did it, but after careful consideration, is there really no problem with the values ​​of this movie?

Once the concept of the play is deviated, it will cause loopholes in the logic of the movie. No matter how you look at it, it will be reluctant and double-standard.
I believe that many comments have already said that the title of this movie is "Civil War", and it borrows the big IP of the civil war in the comic Earth-616. However, the content is strayed all the way, and the second half of the movie is hit. Go, it’s not discussing the pros and cons of superhero registration at all.

Unlike comics, in movies, there is no question of whether the identity of a superhero is disclosed or not. The key is whether to accept the jurisdiction of the United Nations. After a series of events, the Iron Man characters' acceptance of jurisdiction is conducive to making good use of their superpowers, and not causing the mistake of accidentally injuring civilians; on the contrary, Captain America believes that once the Avengers accept official jurisdiction, they will lose their freedom. It is even used by the government. From this point of view, it is not unreasonable for the captain to look at the problem from another angle.

However, judging from the plot of the movie, the actions of the Avengers have caused many civilian casualties on many occasions, including the incident caused by Wanda the Scarlet Witch in Nigeria at the beginning of the movie. "Anyone can be saved successfully" as an excuse to unlock Wanda, but in "Avengers 2", it was the captain who insisted that everyone in the city evacuated before he could leave. On the other hand, Tony encountered the mother of the victim of the Sokvia incident after the speech. The family of the deceased stated that "I will blame you for the death of my son", so Tony firmly signed the agreement. In a similar situation, as a superhero, is it the case of the previous car to restrict the individual, or to comfort yourself that this is not caused by your own malice?

There is no subjective will, but it has caused objective evil results. Can you really deceive yourself and convince yourself of these things that matter to you? Different people may indeed have different opinions, but for the society as a whole, it is the interests of the majority of people to contain the destabilizing factors.

So when the Avengers were discussing the agreement, the registered faction said that if they show a gesture, they may gain more trust in the government and the public, and then there will be room for maneuver. But the opposition still insists that if you compromise once, you can only continue to compromise afterwards.

This is the question of restricting power that was discussed in the first half of the film, half-seriously.

And the subsequent deviations, including a few heavy fighting scenes, are actually not related to the agreement. There is a saying that I have to say that after all, there are a lot of spreads in the comics, plus the sideline magazines, there are more than 100 wars and related consequences. And that’s what MCU characters are currently appearing, and some important figures are subject to copyright restrictions, and the momentum of the "civil war" is greatly reduced. Including the airport battle, this battle, to be honest, is not as large as the "Old Cannon" Wild Lake racks. Special effects naturally make up for the lack of personnel, but the reproduction of the classic sections of comics is still relatively limited.
In the last part of the movie, the three views of the setting and collapse of the dog's blood can no longer be said.

The image of Iron Man was designed to be overly complacent, and to force the people to betray their relatives. He has always been in a low profile, reconciling the government and wants to comfort his teammates, but still has to be accused of "when can you not be so conceited". However, Captain America is inherently right for everyone. He is relying on idol auras when leading the entire team, so that he can brainwash his men and let them know that they have to follow the crime.

Regarding the cohesion of the series of films, even if the film is not made into the so-called "Relink 2.5", it is not impossible to carry it smoothly, but all kinds of inconsistencies are endless. In "Avengers 2 Ultron Age", it was Captain America who said "I'm home." In this "Captain America 3", he finally left a letter saying "The Avengers are more important to you, and I actually It’s Captain America who didn’t really fit in. He hoped to use Ultron to change the world to “end the team” and promised his girlfriend a peaceful life is Iron Man. In this movie, he finally broke up with his lover while maintaining the Avengers. The person is Iron Man.

I asked other people about the hard transition of the scene and location of the movie. It’s not just that I’m a little confused. The subtitles on the screen are Vienna, the subtitles on the screen are London, and the subtitles on the screen are Berlin. This is Moscow. Things happened a little bit quickly, and it felt abrupt when interspersed. The captain and Sharon had just attended the funeral in London. At the same time, there was an accident at the United Nations conference in Vienna. However, after the group rushed over, the matter was still at the on-site processing stage. The widow and the king escaped from the explosion and had a comforting dialogue. From the funeral in London, England, I immediately changed clothes and went to Vienna, Austria to start work. Captain, you guys flew too fast.

In addition, I really want to say that the processing of several emotional lines in this film can be called a failure. Magic Red is an official match in the comics, and the difficult love between robots and mutants supporting each other is a very special point of this couple in the comics. Although Vision has used the skill of a one-year-old robot to seduce a girl, the way to protect the lover like "house arrest" is twisted, and the red witch's anti-water wounding is even more heartbreaking, but at least the two are still affectionate. . The emotional line between the captain and Agent No. 13 Sharon Carter really makes people embarrassed from the screen to the off-screen. This pair is also an official match in the comics, but in the movie they are portrayed to the point that there is no cp feeling at all. Especially at the time when the relationship between the two broke out. After the funeral of the captain’s ex-girlfriend Peggy, the two people originally in "Captain America 2" were like nodding acquaintances. After seeing Sharon as Peggy’s niece, their eyes suddenly changed. This makes people feel that this feeling is a substitute. The next kiss scene is very close. It seems that there should be a kiss scene here. Oh, I can get a kiss, but the premise of the story is that Sharon takes the risk of stealing the captain’s equipment. Such a kiss seems to be utilitarian. Suspect, because this girl helped, and she likes me, let this kiss as a reward. After this kiss, the man sitting next to me directly scolded "scum". After the show, a few girls were talking about "going to soak up their niece after the funeral, and passers-by turn black". Please look at my little S indifferent face.

So far, these are just foreplay. Next, I hope to analyze it from the perspective of each character. Although



Zemo

had previously worried that the Baron Hydra, who was originally wearing a gay purple mask and had a complicated life experience, had become a normal-looking character, he was a little worried that he would go the route of the Manchurian again.

But this villain who has changed everything except the name is bad for a reason, winning very beautifully. Many second villains who look like I want to rule the world or I want to destroy the world are not as truth-seeking and pragmatic as this one. I even the beloved is dead. I can't make your simple purpose more practical.



Eagle Eye & Ant-Man

These are the two most inexplicable characters in this film. The common feature is that they are all dads who are committed to keeping their family safe in the previous movies. Hearing that they are going to fight, they don’t care about going to jail (and then go to jail) The risk of) followed, and he fought a beautiful one but didn't win and was locked up.

The two people who didn't have many roles in the first place, not to mention their personalities, are very ooc compared to the previous ones. Hawkeye, an archer of the high level, said he wanted to take care of the old age, or he ran. Now that he knew that he was breaking the law and chose to come out, he should think of the worst consequences, so his wife and three children really left them alone. Is it? As for Ant-Man, he had repeatedly promised his children and ex-wife to be good people and would not make mistakes. Although helping the captain is a good thing in some sense, he still violated the law or went to jail. When he saw an idol, he would know that he would stray and he would take it without a word. With great risks, he also used the unstable giant form to participate in the battle.

Are the captains really recruited by the protagonist's halo?



Spider-Man

wears Spider-Man ’s T-shirt to go to the movies, and it does almost explode when the new bug comes out. Not only is the new spider cute enough, the scenes are also cool enough, and more importantly, in this "Captain America 3", a minor hero is the responsibility of the three views of the whole movie.

Although Xiao Chong's role is limited, he outlines the structure of a growing superhero in a few simple scenes. From his conversation with visiting Tony, he briefly introduces his background. More importantly, when Tony asked Peter the reason for choosing this kind of life, although a few words expressed Spider-Man's spiritual core of "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", it also made Iron Man rest assured to let him join.

Although the candidate of Spider-Man has been changing, from Toby to Garfield to the current Tom, the concept of the bug has not deviated. Perhaps there is confusion in his heart and fatigue, but Spider-Man has always been responsible to the people. No matter how much he bears, he will never let go.
He is really a child, but this child is more pure and determined than an adult.



The black panther

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ! ! !

And why is even the logic of the king eaten by the screenwriter?

Although the character of Black Panther has not been emphasized in the movie, he is still a very rational person in the works that have appeared in comics and animation. But after mistakenly thinking that the Winter Soldier was the murderer of his father, he pursued the murderer all the way across the country, but finally caught the real murderer, ah, forget it, I let it go. In the end, he took in the fleeing Winter Soldier with great generosity. Although he knew that the king was a very good person, he suddenly became so magnificent, but he couldn't help being surprised.



In

the BG of Vision & Red Witch Marvel, this pair is still quite embarrassing, and the plot arrangement of the movie makes people feel that it is really impossible to fall in love?
As mentioned earlier, this kind of twisted and imprisoned love is very awkward, and the witch's damage to the vision is too distressed, but on other levels, the settings of these two characters are still strange.

Vision’s understanding of life and freedom should not be as simple as that. He would think that keeping Wanda close to him can solve the problem. Not only from the emotional point of view, he has learned some people’s feelings. According to the algorithm, there is a chance of reaction. He also understands better than others.

The witch, in "Avengers 2", originally grew from a little girl who only knows about revenge to an avenger. She said "It's my job" earnestly, and even gave orders to her brother with a serious face. But in this movie, Wanda was fragile and sensitive, but his sense of responsibility was downplayed. The captain said, "She's still a child", but the "Pyjama Baby" spider already has a theory about responsibility. After experiencing a big battle and training with the Avengers in your twenties, you still consider yourself a child. When will you grow up? Facing Ultron, Wanda's bravery disappeared. The two characters,



Gears of War & Falcon

, will have similarities. Each is the professional supporting role of their respective team leaders, and they are both people of color and military origin, but their ideologies are very different.

Analyzing these two characters, the choices are different because of their different status.

Rhodey has been a colonel since "Iron Man", and it can be seen that the military has always been proud of him, and it will not be difficult for him to become a general one day. But the Falcon Sam Wilson is set in the MCU as a retired parachuting rescuer. According to the description of his life in the comics, he was born in a black community and his parents were killed by violence. It can be seen that his background is not high.

This is the difference between generals and soldiers. As a senior commander of the army, Rhodey needs to have an overall view while doing his best. The balance of pros and cons must be considered to win the entire war. So after seeing the agreement, he can fully explain his ideas. But after he said his thoughts, Sam next to him would only ask "Where are you on earth?" For many grassroots officers and soldiers, standing in line is often more practical than understanding the real situation to distinguish right from wrong. Because in the war experienced by the Falcon, one battle is a battle after one fight, and the next battle is fought, and there is nothing left in the battle. Therefore, the psychology of this kind of soldier is to choose the best option for him at the moment.

Even if "soldiers regard obedience as their vocation," it has a different meaning for generals and soldiers. The high-ranking officer's "obedience" is that even if there is a partial loss, it can be accepted as long as the goal is finally achieved, so in the end Rhodey told Tony that although the price was paid, he accepted the result. But the "obedience" of the grassroots soldiers means obedience to the immediate superior. There is a saying that "the county official is not as good as the current one." Especially if the immediate superior treats himself well, then he will also believe that this person is born to death.

In the army, it is normal to have different generals and even contradictions, and it is also something that cannot be changed, and there is nothing wrong with these two kinds of thinking.



Black Widow & Winter Soldier

I don’t really eat, but the official Winter Widow is too handy. In fact, the sparring shots that have been released before are nothing, but the moment Bucky took off the gun from the Romanoff’s weapon rack on the Quin fighter. , I think I’m going to explode, is this implying the relationship between the two people in the comics! ?

However. The film director once again took advantage of the popular female role of Black Widow, and arranged a bunch of boyfriends for her indiscriminately. To be misunderstood and insulted by many people.

In the debut "Iron Man 2", Natasha and Tony are slightly ambiguous. Naturally, it can be understood that the two people are acting on the scene, and it is also the need of her mission. There are also many fans in the lily group with Little Pepper. In the "Avengers", the image of Hawkeye's confidante, combined with the previous official "EMH", made many think that they want to stand as a hawk. When it comes to a kiss with Steve in "Captain America 2", although it is also necessary for escape, the shield widow is also an official match in "Avengers of Tomorrow". But when he turned his face to the "Avengers 2", the green widow began to make people feel a little confused. Okay, it might be a healing group. However, in "Captain America 3", the widow shield still has a hug like a girlfriend, the various metaphors of the winter widow, and the respect revealed in the words of the black panther for the widow sister, the widow 13 lily has actually made an appearance. The widow’s honey relationship line runs from beginning to end. The Black Widow, who had no personal movie, has appeared in 5 MCU movies, but the directors never thought about rationalizing her emotions, in line with "Widow Sister" The principle of "love is a brick, wherever you need to move" is used as an ingredient. Although the black widow is known for her beauty and sexy, she is not a pawn for anyone to use, so it is awkward to think about the widow's coming all the way.

As for the Winter Soldier, this character has its own likability, at least buying Hei Brin and the chocolate on the family's diary are some foodies and a little cute.

But he should have been more brilliant, his inner conflict is very strong, but he only has too many escape and fighting scenes, although wonderful, but an important fuse character lacks deep excavation.

In Marvel's works, brainwashing is not uncommon. Let me give you an example of the same in MCU. In the drama "Jessica Jones", the heroine Jessica has been deeply suffering from the purple man's mind control. She has been decadent, entangled and blamed a lot, and even alienated the sister hell who always cared about her. Cat Patsy. But after many twists and turns, she finally became strong, not only facing her unbearable past, but also using her wisdom and courage to completely defeat all the source of evil Ziren. This is a superhero road. Although Jess still has a shortcoming and cannot catch up with the past, more importantly, she has stepped out of the past and made some remedies.

But in "Captain America 3", Bucky originally expressed his willingness to take responsibility for the past on the Quinn-style fighter, explaining that "Although I was brainwashed, I was the one who did these terrible things." This was his responsibility, but in the end it became a fleeing fight where you chased me.

Throughout the three movies he appeared in, even as the subtitle of "Captain America 2 The Winter Soldier", he has rarely highlighted the characteristics of his character. This is the shortcoming of this character.

A person who is not completely innocent should show the two sides of his victim and murderer, but the distinction between the two personalities is too low, which makes this complex character eclipse. As representatives of both sides of the Civil War,



Iron Man & Captain America are

also the two most important superheroes of Marvel. They represent different personalities and behaviors.
As early as last year, I wrote an analysis of the civil war. The reason why two former comrades-in-arms broke apart was that they followed different ideologies.

Iron Man, who has always had individualistic characteristics, ultimately chose to register, while Captain America, who was born in the military and represents the spirit of the country, would rather flee to oppose registration, but this is not surprising if you think about it carefully.

Ideology is a person's perception of things, and is the sum of ideas, opinions, concepts, thoughts, values ​​and other elements. Human ideology will be affected by factors such as thinking ability, environment, information (education, propaganda), and value orientation.

Similar to the difference between Gears of War and Falcon, the difference between Tony and Steve lies in their origin and growth environment.

What people often pay too much attention to is that Tony is a successful businessman and a rich man, and under this identity, more importantly, he is a scientist, especially the "future scientist" he has always considered himself. If you have read the original manga, who are the main representatives of the registered faction? Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards, the first generation of Ant-Man (Yellow Shirt) Hank Pym, they are the top scientists of the Illuminati, the smartest person in the world, and the female Hulk Jennifer Susan Walters, is a successful lawyer. In other words, most of the registered leaders are truly elites. The choices they make are the result of rational thinking, and they sacrifice part of their personal interests in exchange for overall interests.

But just like before the movie was released, the education level of the two sides circulated, the highest level of education of the team leader, that is, the second-generation Ant-Man Scott Lang is a master of mechanical and electrical engineering, but there are still previous records that cannot be truly integrated into the so-called upper society. Others Either a graduate or no formal education. In fact, the interests of both parties are destined to not be on the same level.

Therefore, the registered faction can obtain the overall situation at the partial sacrifice, and it will be matched with the anti-registration, which focuses on everyone's personal interests and freedom.

These are the reasons for the civil war on a large scale, but the film did not study this.

The writers of the comics Civil War have also made many remarks, saying that although many children who read comics may just watch the excitement, the Civil War is actually not a simple story, and it also means that this is a story without a villain.

If the film can make these, it will be very profound. Even a commercial blockbuster has a lofty meaning, but in the end, everyone forgets whether to register or not, and it will kill you for the sake of old grievances.

The image of Iron Man in the MCU has erased many corners and dark sides in the comics, and it also appears slightly more fragile. The various aspects of his growth made him suffer from emotional expression flaws throughout his life. He was not ruthless, but he didn't know whom to have affection for, and he couldn't express his feelings. Once he fell in love, he was often unable to extricate himself.

Tony treats countless girlfriends before, but passers-by, but after meeting the true goddess Pepper, he tried very hard to love her and protect her, but limited by his special status, he couldn't do so. In "Iron Man 3", he suffered it alone. PTSD has been working on armor and will not fully explain his situation to his girlfriend.

And his feelings for his teammates are more profound than they seem. In "Avengers 2", the illusions that other people are controlled by the Scarlet Witch's magic are mostly about their own past. Natasha thinks of the painful red house. Training, Steve remembered the dance he didn't dance with Peggy, and only Tony saw the tragic death of other teammates, and blamed himself for not trying to save it.

MCU has created an overly affectionate Iron Man. He is the most dramatic character in itself. Coupled with RDJ's acting skills, Tony Stark has become MCU's most successful and most complex and profound character. However, I think it may still be questionable for the excessive comprehension. If this batch of directors continues to let Iron Man make concessions in subsequent films, I am afraid I will not be able to accept it.

And Captain America, this is a simple and complicated character.

Why do you say this? For a person who lacks the dark side, it is very important to make it unkind and close to hypocrisy and become a three-dimensional character. And not as the director understands, the image of the captain in the comics is a bit boring, so make it complicated.

For a chef, perhaps the most difficult thing is to make a bowl of white rice, keep the original fragrance and taste, but also make people feel delicious, instead of making seafood fried rice or soy sauce fried rice.

At first I didn't like Captain America very much because of his seemingly simple integrity, but as an adult, I think deeply about what kind of power a person needs to keep himself pure. Captain America is actually a really complicated character. His seemingly calm surface should have an unknown restraint and bottom line in his heart. When this kind of waves arise, it is not a sensational stormy sea, but a subtle one. There are little ripples. Steve Rogers, as a human being, possesses a part that transcends humanity, and it is not only for him to explode everything to have profound power.

But for the MCU's Captain America, his choice is no longer even a superhero, such as the final battle with Iron Man.
Steve is not a person without personal affair. It can be seen from "Captain America: The First Avenger" that he will quietly put Peggy's photos on the compass, and even more than seventy years later, his The girl’s picture is kept in that small box. After Bucky fell off the cliff, he tried to get drunk, but he was painful because he was not drunk. His tears did not really fall, but he turned all of these into new combat forces and grew step by step.

But he shouldn’t be a person who is confined to selfish affairs and has no justice. In the comics, the brainwashed agent No. 13 made a mistake. As her boyfriend, he is also an avenger and a superhero. Regret, but will still insist on letting it be judged as it should be.

I agree with one point of view. Even if Steve really hopes that Bucky will not be harmed, he can stand up and be punished for him, instead of turning a persuasion into a continued harm to the deceased orphan, "You just lost your parents, he is The Qiong Yao plot like "lost youth" is not the hypocritical captain America should have.

As for the last letter left, it is really more hypocritical. No matter how much apology the deceased is apologized, the deceased cannot be resurrected, and the injury cannot be recovered. Wouldn't it be a bit of "getting cheap and selling good" if you have already run off to say this?

Such Captain America is indeed not worthy of Star Shield.

Captain America went from being a Brooklyn boy to becoming a moral benchmark, and he has done a lot, but this "Captain America 3" has smashed all these efforts.

So I am more willing to believe that this might be Captain Skuru?
