Chris Evans may be a cuck politically, but I think his portrayal of Captain America was damn near perfect. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is probably my favorite MCU film.
the funny part is him thinking he's part of the good guys while actually working for the bad guys is vintage Captain America. so maybe he really is living the character.
As a person, Evans is nothing close to Captain America, but he did a great job on screen. Personally, I find it easy to separate the actor from the character in this particular case because Evans' real-life appearance, voice, facial expressions, and mannerisms are all different from those that he has when playing Cap. When he plays Cap, he uses a more stoic body language, uses more dignified facial expressions, talks in a deeper voice, and is differently-groomed.
Interestingly, when he first started playing Captain America, he didn't talk much, if at all, about politics. On at least one occasion in 2011, he refused to answer a political question, saying it was none of his business. He initially didn't even want the role of Captain America due to the loss of privacy that such a high-profile role would involve (director Joe Johnston had to pester him into accepting the part).
But then Evans suddenly started becoming a political activist a few years ago. And I have some suspicions about why.
He once answered a question about whether or not Marvel ever asked him to shut up about politics, and said the following about Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige:
"Marvel has never said anything. On the contrary — when I bump into Kevin Feige the first thing out of his mouth is 'Man, I love what you're doing [on Twitter].'"
And here is something that Kevin Feige said about Evans' Twitter activism:
"I don't see it as trash-talking. I see it as very astute, very honorable, very noble, very Cap-like. Commentary and questioning. I've said to him, 'You're merging! You and the character are merging!'"
Think about the ramifications of that statement. This is the boss of a major movie studio admitting to encouraging one of the actors working for him to be a Twitter SJW, and filling his head with nonsense about this being the same as becoming like Captain America.
I also don't think that it's any coincidence that some of the Marvel movies themselves started going "woke" after Kevin Feige succeeded in ousting Ike Perlmutter (who Feige had to answer to until 2015) from his leadership position at Marvel Studios and integrating Marvel Studios directly into the Disney command structure. Perlmutter was and is right-wing (he was even one of the biggest Trump donors), and held the power of the purse over Marvel Studios until 2015. Every decision up until then had to be approved by Perlmutter.
Nowadays, Feige no longer has to listen to Perlmutter's demands, instead taking orders directly from Disney's Alan Horn. Both Feige and Disney president Bob Iger have confirmed that Perlmutter kept the Marvel movies from following Disney's social agenda while he was in change, and Feige even hinted that this was part of why Perlmutter was ousted.
1 politically uninformed actor who wants to live up to the moral standards of the patriotic hero that he plays + 1 SJW movie studio boss who is willing to teach his actors that being a left-wing Twitter activist is like being a superhero = a recipe for brainwashing.
It's a shame that Evans couldn't learn some lessons from the version of Captain America that he plays, rather than from Kevin Feige. The movie version of Captain America is a small-government, anti-globalist, Christian patriot.
In "Captain America: The First Avenger" (2011), the Red Skull shouts "I have seen the future, Captain. There are no flags!", to which Cap replies "Not my future!"
In "The Avengers" (2012), Cap gets ready to pursue Thor and Loki, when Black Widow warns him not to go after them, saying, "These guys come from legend. They're basically gods." He replies by saying "There's only one God, Ma'am. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that."
In "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" (2014), Nick Fury reveals that S.H.I.E.L.D. (essentially a fictionalized FBI or CIA) is creating a new surveillance/weapons program call Project Insight that uses artificial intelligence to predict which people will become terrorist threats and automatically kill them with giant drones before they act. Cap disagrees with the decision to create this program, believing that this is a vast overreach of power and could be abused. Cap is proven right when it turns out that S.H.I.E.L.D. is infested by HYDRA agents who plan on using Project Insight to kill everyone who the AI system predicts would stand in the way of their new world order.
In "Captain America: Civil War", Cap disagrees with the Avengers' decision to sign the Sokovia Accords, an agreement that would force the Avengers to only go on missions that are approved by the World Security Council (essentially a fictionalized United Nations), as he believes that the Avengers need to be capable of acting independently of foreign authorities.
When these lines are quoted during Peggy's funeral in the movie... it's perfect.
It is exactly what Cap needs to hear at that moment.
And SO. DID. I.
Thank you, brother.

you know the most important Cap quote? it's in the movies: "the safest hands are still our own."
he's saying why does it make sense that the government should regulate anything we do? it takes responsibility out of our hands- already un-American- and gives it ti people who really can't stop proving they are unqulaified. but we never learn the lesson.
the talk about liquor licenses got me thinking about this today- can you even fucking imagine saying to yourself 'I don't know how to serve liquor, I need this ex-bikini model to tell me how to do it best, it's for my own good'.
Some Pedes needed to see this today.
I wouldn't mind seeing this shit everyday! We aren't the first and won't be the last
The war for Moral and Moral-Highground is something we all can play a part in.
Encourage one another and build each other up!
Hold each other up! Encourage! Bring hope to those out in the darkness. We are stronger together. Keep going.
Anything to keep us feeling safe and sound stroking our false "1776" get-out-of-jail free card. Not realizing that ship sailed long ago.
Based Captain America. The good version, not the soy boy bitch Chris Evans.
Chris Evans may be a cuck politically, but I think his portrayal of Captain America was damn near perfect. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is probably my favorite MCU film.
He's a bit of a let-down as a man... but pretty much exactly what we would expect from most actors from the Hellmouth.
the funny part is him thinking he's part of the good guys while actually working for the bad guys is vintage Captain America. so maybe he really is living the character.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your time and insight.
I'm glad you didn't put a "TLDR" at the end.... I read every word.
I appreciate your thoughts on the EVIL of Disney and how they shoved SJW-ism into the Marvel movies.
I am glad you're part of this community.... keep writing!!
