I've read this. It's from my favorite What If? comic.

In that issue Cap was never frozen in ice and returned from the war and became President of the US. But he turns America into an aryan Nazi-like society. We then find out that the Cap that returned is actually the Red Skull in disguise. And the the real Cap is found frozen in ice by SHIELD agent Frank Castle who wears the War Machine armor. And Wolverine is the Wendigo but he's called the Hulk. It's great.

It establishes a really great alt universe. I wish we had a line of comics for it.

He's a shit moral authority. Cap took a steroid and fast tracked himself to greatness. He wasn't born great nor did he earn his greatness. It's very easy to take the high road when you have power handed to you and are placed on a pedestal.

All of his speeches come across as phoney and overly rhetorical demagoguery. How is that an nigh omnipotent alien is more human than Cap?

Capt doesn't judge people taking steroids so bleh.
>>
>>94032577

One of the biggest problem's with Cap is shit like this. The constant apologetics for what he is. Writers bend backwards trying to mitigate the jingoism at his core by stressing that he's just upholding vague ideals and has no real faith in American government or flag. However, he still calls himself CAPTAIN AMERICA and wears a fucking flag on his chest. He's a soldier. He's defined by his loyalty to the government, but writers constantly try to work against that and it just shows the lack of faith in the core concept.

And is therefore, less impressive than the men who did the same with no such crutch. He's not as brave or inspiring as the actual soldiers who sacrificed themselves in unknown battlefields and died mundane, miserable deaths. He's this gaudy, inhuman idealisation of something that was actually messy and tragic.

Ennis was write. Shoe horning cartoon characters into history's most harrowing chapters is tasteless as fuck.

America is not the government, it's the people. The people choose what the government is, not the other way around.

America is more than it's govt son. It's liberty and the people. Gov't just works for us, we owe the gov't nothing if they seek to curtail our rights.

Cap was never defined strictly for the gov't but fighting for people at home. When the gov't is corrupt, it's time to reflect.

Because over the character's lifetime society and his writer has kept changing and as such he's now held enough different, contradictory moral positions that any reader will be able to find one to agree with.

Cap's a pretty good representation of the US government in that way really.
>>
Why is Cap being wasted as a nazi when this is the perfect socio-cultural environment for him to be at his best?

If Marvel was talented and not full of pandering hacks they could use Cap effectively by having him promote traditional American values

Or do they simply hate traditional American values too, just for different reasons?

>>94036826
They probably don't even know that George Washington actually liked Muslims and one of the first US treaties was with a Muslim country.

That statement applies to Trump and Cap. Think for yourself. Trump has to play pretend Republican now.
>>
>>94039026
I figured that anon was saying that he'd be defending the actual traditional american values like in the OP of religious freedoms, freedom of speech, standing against oppression and so forth.
I suppose this weirdly highlights the no side thinks they're in the wrong/evil theory.
>>
>>94032664
Ennis is an idiot. These are fictional characters inhabiting a fictionalized universe that just happens to resemble our world but those fantastical characters, elements, and concepts instilled within the context of the setting. It's alternate history, a different genre, that's intended to have real or inspired events depicted differently from reality.

It would actually be more baffling and nonsensical if these comic book characters existed in our world, yet for some reason didn't influenced human history at all. Does he complain about Watchmen, too? Because one of the major themes and interpretations of the comic was how Alan Moore's characters drastically changed their world and how truly advanced the 1980s was even in comparison to our time, all because of the actions of those comic book characters that do not exist in real life.

Marvel sees Captain America as the establishment because he's white, straight, and loves American Traditions. Alternately, they're more afraid that Steve will give the Left an epic tongue lashing for ruining the country because lecturing the Right at this point is like flogging a dead horse. Steve is the only one who has the balls to chew out John Stewart, Jon Oliver, Samantha Bee, and others for their rhetoric.
