Since 2011, Captain America has appeared as an important figure in the first stage of Marvel (explained at the end), and his reputation is not satisfactory. Compared with Iron Man and Thor at the same stage, he has been criticized. Most people responded to "Captain America 1" "Too superhero routine, from ordinary little people to the birth of national idols, is really nothing new, but as a pivotal US team in Marvel, of course it can't stop there, the failure of "US Team 1" is very To a large extent depends on the grandeur of Marvel's plan, so that too much history (Bucky's relationship with Captain America) must be laid out, and in addition to building momentum for the release of "Reunion", it will inevitably be compromised, so when "Captain America" When "2" was released, it immediately turned the tide and became the best-known work in the second stage. Until the release of "Captain 3", Marvel once again proved that "Captain 1" was not a tasteless, but to the greatest extent possible for "American Team". Team 3" has done a good job of laying the groundwork.
(Former comrades in arms tit for tat)
After watching the movie, the circle of friends initiated a stand-up discussion about whether to support Team America or Iron Man. Aside from the consideration of the two characters' preferences and realistic logic, since the film is called "Captain America 3", and Not "Iron Man 3.5" or "Avengers 2.5", I want to talk about my point of view from the US team itself.
Why is Captain America the loneliest person of any era?
First, let’s talk about Captain America’s upbringing:
In the 1940s, the Nazis and their Axis of Evil war raged all over the world. Steve Rutgers, a small man who lives in Brooklyn, has his country in mind and is dedicated to killing the enemy, but his poor physique has always kept him out of the draft office. By chance, with the help of Dr. Erskine, a German scientist, this little boy was able to enter the barracks, and accepted the doctor's test, incarnating into a tall, strong, super-strength super soldier.
Well, according to the routine, the US team at this moment should become a hero who eliminates evil and helps good, and is admired by the whole people, but it is not.
The US team, who became a super soldier, was not immediately regarded as the main force by the army, but was pushed to the front of the stage and became a star watched by the masses. Although the US team became the spiritual pillar of everyone's heart, it was with him who was eager to die in battle. Dreams are very different. Because of such an embarrassing status, Rutgers was even laughed at by his military colleagues, and finally put down everything and took risks to save his friends. He finally completed a part of his ideal, but in a battle, he lost his best friend Bucky, Rutgers was finally buried under the sea in order to compete for the universe cube. Unexpectedly, he was frozen for 70 years. When he was discovered and woke up from his deep sleep, it had come to a new era.
(Bucky took care of Rutgers in the army)
After joining the S.H.I.E.L.D., the US team found out that Bucky did not die, but became the executioner of the enemy. After the decisive battle with Bucky, Pakistani Key finally recovered some memories and decided to start over, but in "Captain America 3" he became the unforgivable villain in the eyes of everyone.
So where does loneliness come from?
In the 1940s, almost all men began to join the military camp to kill the enemy for the country. Rutgers, who had a patriotic dream, could not become an ideal soldier because of his short stature. It was even used as a mouse to become the first human test product. At that time, Rutgers only had a good friend of Bucky. Bucky's sincerity was the only light in Rutgers' heart in that dark period, but Bucky finally gave his life to save him. Rutgers, who was kicked around like a ball and lost his only light, was arguably the loneliest man of his era.
Later, the experiment was successful, and she became the strong female agent Carter of the American team. However, Rutgers could not really develop with Carter at the moment of the enemy. Rutgers and Carter met at the dance, but suddenly received The urgent task had to leave. Carter said that she would wait for him to come back and finish the dance. However, this time Rutgers is gone forever. The first time is 70 years. After 70 years, Rutgers and Carter reunited, once loved The person who is beautiful is already twilight and bedridden, and Rutgers is still a strong boy in his 20s. The two look at each other. At this moment, Rutgers also feels unprecedented loneliness and loneliness.
(The two were in their prime.)
Rutgers, who entered the new century, saw that everything around him had already changed beyond recognition. Rutgers had no idea that this new era had changed so quickly that he had no time to study. In the cement forest, he was still the captain of the year, but the world turned upside down. In battles again and again, Rutgers has also experienced alliance battles with other heroes with character flaws, and the collision of multiple values has caused gaps between Captain America and Iron Man more than once.
Back to "Captain America 3", when everyone decided to accept the United Nations restrictions, why did Rutgers refuse to sign the contract? First of all, it is reasonable to say that Rutgers, who lived in the military in his early years, should accept the order of his superiors. The reason Mainly in several aspects. First, Rutgers, who has experienced the war in the early years, understands that the shackles of military orders will greatly weaken the combat effectiveness itself. In the event of a crisis, waiting for orders may actually increase the crisis. In "Captain America 2", Rutgers suffered from the internal mutiny of S.H.I.E.L.D. and began to question the problems of the system itself. Third, the American team originally carried a symbol of liberalism, and to a greater extent followed the heart. But because of this, he became the target of public criticism.
(The dazzling airport battle) On the
other hand, since Captain America learned that Bucky was not dead, his heart was extremely turbulent. Imagine what happens when you experience a 70-year turnaround and find that there is another person around you who can connect you to your past. That person was the light of your world. What would you do? Captain America did not belong to this era. In this era, his thoughts were aggressive and impulsive, but also confused and lonely. He was an old man over a hundred years old, but he had a young body. Key is what he sees as the only connection he has with the world, but he's not selfish. All of the starting points of the US team are not only to prove the innocence of their friends, but also to prevent a bigger crisis, and the reason why they did not tell him about Iron Man's revenge for killing his father was entirely because he understood that Bucky was not under his control at the time. Just a set of manipulative human weapons.
Meanwhile, Carter finally ushered in her death, and Rutgers stood before her mourning hall, only to feel his connection to the era dwindled once again. Those who were closely related to him eventually left one by one.
Let's go back to the many heroes of Marvel. In fact, you can say that most people are lonely. Before Tony became Iron Man, the reason why Tony was perverse and willful was because he lost his parents when he was a child and was not concerned by his father. He is also lonely, but in addition to his loneliness, he has the support of the whole country and the company of money, and he has his beloved person by his side (it is said that he has broken up because of the salary, lol), and he has everything at his fingertips. Black Widow Natasha is entering God. Before the Shield, she had been the executioner of Russian agents. The blood on her hands made her panic. The special training in the red house was the loneliest and most frightening memory of Black Widow in her life. Among the heroes, there have been ambiguous encounters with Hawkeye, Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America (and even Bucky the Winter Soldier), and her loneliness has long been overwhelmed by her strength and love. Of course there are other people, whether it's the Hulk or the Scarlet Witch, more or less with some loneliness, but these loneliness are not worth the loneliness that Captain America strives to seek to maintain with this era.
At the end of the film, Bucky decided to sleep in order to prevent himself from being used by others again. Finally, whether it was Carter, Bucky, or the shield that Tony's father gave him back then, they were all taken back by time and reality. , Captain America has finally become a person who has nothing to do with the world. At this moment, there is no more Team America in the world.
Among Marvel's many hero movies, I always prefer "Captain America". Although "Iron Man" is not inferior to "Captain America" from the perspective of the film's brilliance, I have never been able to agree with it in terms of characterization. Egotistical Tony, even though he has transformed and grown tremendously in this one.
There are also many netizens who said that the theme of "Captain America 3" was originally to sign a restricted agreement, but the plot in the later stage was deviated all the way. In fact, I think this is a misunderstanding. First of all, this film is called Captain America, not Avengers 2.5. , so from the very beginning, the story has established that it must start with the US team. The signing of the agreement is just a part of the reflection of the US team. In terms of showing the clues of Captain America's heart and actions, if the whole film revolves around whether the United Nations is restricted, then this film must be renamed "Avengers 3 Part 1".
Marvel has now entered the third stage. According to the current news, "Captain America" should be the same as "Iron Man", and it is difficult to have a follow-up independent movie (although the American team did not die like in the comics, but returned The shield foreshadows too many things), Rutgers' figure may only appear in other films of the third stage except for the next "Avengers 3", but I think, from the current box office trend, "The United States" The success of "Team" is the result of the accumulation of accumulated resources in this big game of Marvel, which also echoes the personal growth of the American team. Looking back at "American Team 1" now, I will not feel that this film is really true. It's so bad, it's just an ordinary beginning in a long series, but it has brought a very extraordinary effect to the follow-up of Captain America.
