>The protagonist has no character arc

He learned the importance of being a symbol. But I don't entirely disagree. The conflict actually steems from Cap's strong morals being pitted against overwhelming odds, moral compromises and gray areas.

>The protagonist is either a cardboard cutout, or an uncaring self-reliant jokester

Welcome to the MCU, enjoy your stay. At least we're not Man of Steel, amirite?

Captain America has no arc. He's still got the same "I'm right , you're wrong" attitude he's had since the First Avenger.

>>92976431
His deal is making the world a better place going against all odds, despite his sacrifices.

This is pretty obvious.

>>92977155
That's a motivation, not a character arc.

>>92976431
Characters arcs and character growth went out of style years ago, OP

>>92977313
Define character arc, with your own words.

Not every story needs it. Some stories work because of protagonist's already existing character and morals.

He hasn't changed at all in 5 movies

Do Disniggers not understand basic story telling?

Because he is right, he is the moral compass.

The entire point of him being chosen to be a super soldier is because of what he ALREADY was. Its the same deal in comics.

His conflict comes from his relationships with his friends and the governament.

So he's boring then. It's a good thin Iron Man was there to carry Civil War

>>92977522
He is not thin even without the armor.

Nah, there are more ways to deal with storytelling. Tolkien for example hated the idea of people inserting Hero s Journey on everything, he made The Lord of The Rongs with that in mind.

Frodo was the character that would have a Hero Journey

While Aragorn would be different, he follows the "national hero, similar to Beowulf and other mythological characters" view, where the story is about who the hero ALREADY IS, not who he becomes on the journey. Which reflects more Steve too on the movies and the comics.

Do you even read comics?

>It's a good thin Iron Man was there to carry Civil War
I mean you're not wrong, considering how Iron Man easily carried most of Civil War.

>>92977687
He also carries most of the MCU itself.

Steve's character arc is across movies.
But this is a console war shitpost thread so let's ignore that shit.

>>92977709

Civil War made less than Iron Man 3. If anything they're holding him back. They should have called it Iron Man Civil War

>>92977522
Well, you've kind of hit the nail on the head, although in a dickish way. Cap is always part of an ensemble, so the fact that his character remains the same helps support the other characters in the story.

Shitting on Cap for not being interesting enough is like shitting on the bassline of a song for just playing the root note. He's a strong simple foundation that the others can work off of. If you have too many characters going on too many different personal journeys it becomes a muddled mess.

why change when he actually hasn't ever been wrong?

>>92978409

He was wrong not to tell Tony how his father died. A complete betrayal of trust from somebody who is supposed to be so morally superior
