Ransom 2022-03-15 09:01:01

When the earth was in crisis, when half of life was facing extinction, when friends fought bloody battles, when he struggled to catch Thanos' hand, do you remember the little man from Brooklyn?

Part01 Origin

Let's go back to 1942, when a ruffian was constantly cursing an advertisement for conscription against Hitler that was broadcast in a movie theater, and a small weak voice came out: Hey, can you show respect! When he was forced to be beaten down again and again in the corner by the ground ruffian, there was no trace of fear in his weak and firm eyes.

He is a determined man who just wants to fight for freedom and justice and do the right thing. He is Steve Rogers, a small man from Brooklyn who was chosen to be a strong fighter because of a simple, selfless and just heart. A strong body gave this simple and fragile heart the power to realize justice for the first time.

Part02 best friend

Bucky Barnes, nicknamed "The Winter Soldier", is his best friend for life. Unfortunately, he was captured by Hydra while performing a mission.

After receiving the news of Bucky’s capture, he stepped forward resolutely. In order to understand and save his best friend, he went to the enemy camp without fear, and then in the missions to go deep into the enemy camp, his pure heart also helped He gradually became the leader of the team. Everyone knows the following story. Bucky is under the control of Hydra and has launched terrorist attacks again and again, but he has always believed that the heart of his best friend is still resisting and has been waiting for his rescue.

Bucky was finally awakened by Steve during many battles with the Avengers. Steve Rogers proved his title of "Captain America" ​​and the significance of the title of "Captain America", and gradually became the spiritual leader of the Avengers.

Part03 Atonement

After the three major events of "New York Incident," "Washington Incident," and "Sokovia Incident," governments of various countries finally couldn't sit still. In the face of huge urban destruction and casualties after each major event, the "Sokovia Agreement" signed by 117 countries turned out to be a complete division of the Avengers.

The superheroes have unavoidably caused too much additional damage in their rescue missions. Tony Stark was the first to stand up and support the agreement, and his original intention was to redeem his sins. "We have no decision-making procedures at all. If we are not regulated, we will be lawless and will not be any better than the bad guys." "I accept whatever form of regulation is." Every word reveals Tony's deep self-blame.

The "Agreement" stipulates: The Avengers must be approved and guided by the UN team before they can take action. It has been eight years since Tony declared that he is Iron Man, and he has experienced too many lives and deaths. Tony hopes that they will no longer follow the wind like a reckless man, but implement rescue operations under the supervision of the United Nations.

Is Tony wrong? Looking at the entire Avengers, there is almost no second person, like Tony, who has various personality defects such as arrogance, looseness, and individualism. And he actually took the lead to stand up and was willing to be supervised and controlled. Would anyone think this was wrong?

Part04 Free

If there is only one word to describe Captain America, it is that he symbolizes America's core competitiveness: freedom.

The "Agreement" can shirk responsibility. If the United Nations has formulated a plan that is not so perfect, then after the mission fails, can they shirk the responsibility to the United Nations if they do not want to go. The place, if the United Nations does not allow them to go where they are needed.

"A manager is a person, and a person has a purpose, and people will change, and the purpose will also change." "We may not be perfect, but we are still the most reliable people." There is nothing wrong. Every member of the Avengers is assembled for salvation, for justice and without any selfish interests. They all follow the kindness deep in their hearts, which is free will.

When Tony realized that his weapons would fall into the enemy's hands, the consequences would be disastrous, so he closed his most profitable weapons factory, which is the best embodiment of free will. What if the United Nations used the "Agreement" to make Tony restart the weapons factory in order to expand its armaments. Signing the "Agreement" means giving up all options and acting only as an executive who obeys orders. As Captain America, who represents freedom and spiritual leadership, can he sign it?

Part05 position

The split of the Avengers, with the "Agreement" as the fuse, heated up and became a civil war. In the end, Roddy was seriously injured and no one became a winner. Nick Fury said: "I had an idea to gather a group of extraordinary people to see if we can do more. When people need us, we can stand up and fight for them." The heroes gathered together for a common ideal, but parted ways because of different positions. No one is wrong, only incidental casualties.

Part06 Break

If the "Agreement" led to the split, then Baron Zemo directly led to the break between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark.

Bucky murdered Tony's parents while being brainwashed and controlled by Hydra. When this incident disappeared into history with the collapse of Hydra, this secret was dug up by Baron Zemo and sent to Tony's eyes. For Tony, the hatred of killing his father and mother is not shared. How can he not report the enemy? Even if it is used by others, Bucky's hands are covered with the blood donated by his parents. This is an unhealable one. Wound.

As a lifelong friend, Steve had to stand up and help Bucky resist Tony's revenge attack. If the civil war is just the end, this time Tony is fighting with the belief that he needs to kill Bucky. This means not only a fierce offensive, but also a complete break between the two.

Part07 End

The battle ended when Tony completely lost the ability to fight, and all three of them were seriously injured. Ironically, Tony mentioned that Steve's vibration shield was made and given to Steve by Tony's father who was killed by a close friend. The many complicated relationships have actually torn everyone's heart at this moment.

Zhenjin's shield fell heavily to the ground, and he gave Tony not only this shield, but also the title of "Captain America". "Captain America" ​​is just a title, the title can be given up, but he will never give up everyone around him, everyone.

"Maybe you will never forgive me, and I have something wrong, but as long as you need me, I will come to you."

Part08 Memorial

When the Thanos army invaded, when Tony picked up the phone with only one number, when a familiar figure could always appear in time when he was always needed, when he was trying his best to catch Thanos Do you remember the little guy from Brooklyn at the time of that palm?
