I think Marvel’s time seems to be a bit late, but I can sort out the universe of Marvel’s world according to a fixed timeline. Captain America is the one that surprised me. Why? This comes from the unique role setting of Captain America. At first I thought he would become a super melee hero like Hulk, but after reading it, I realized that he was just a genetic modifier. Of course, there may be more about his abilities. A detailed introduction, so I won't talk about it, and wait until I have read the rest before commenting. It should be seen that Captain America had a relatively low social status in the beginning and was bullied by lower-level hooligans. This is different from the role setting of "scientist", "naturally-powered person", and "high school student". No one is as miserable as him, so no one loves justice, loves justice, and sympathizes with the weak, so Captain America jumped. He became the spokesperson and voice of the United States in that particular era, and became the idol of the whole people. Therefore, can we assert that the Captain America series contains the output of American influence?
The result is affirmative. Captain America's fight against the Nazis does not represent the needs of the United States to uphold justice and boast of global law enforcement? Whether this position is correct or not, let me talk about the expression of this value, I have something to say. It’s not uncommon to export national image and ideology. Take Wolf Warrior 2 which was sold in China before as an example. It is such a work, but this work itself has been controversial. After watching Captain America, I suddenly understood a little bit. In the meantime, some small details bring the difference. The two are completely different works. Wu Jing asked everyone why the foreign superman can sweep the enemy, but the Chinese cannot? I think he is actually changing the subject. Take the US team as an example. He is a genetically modified soldier, not an ordinary human. Although there are scenes where Captain America and the enemy in front are singled out, the enemy in the back hesitates and does not know what to do. Kind of makes me want to laugh, but this is not the main difference at all. The audience’s sense of disappointment is that Wu Jing put almost all the image of the country on Leng Feng, while the US team only shows the brave wisdom of Captain America, which naturally reflects American values and ideals. The former is too ingenious. Sometimes people feel a kind of semi-oppressive indoctrination, which inevitably arouses some netizens' unhappiness. Such a movie is not what a real director should pursue. I think Wolf Warriors 2 looks like a red skull in this respect.
I'm not saying that outputting values is not good, but I think the director should spend a little time thinking about how to portray the characters, instead of pursuing a big proposition sparsely, forcing the consciousness to overwhelm everything. Captain America is loyal, kind, brave, and wise. You see, although he can't fly and can't save his best friend, but because of the lack of something in his life, he knows what is worth protecting.
