Marvel completely ignored all kinds of hilarious shenanigans that I feel like would have realistically taken place if you had recruited a white dude from the 1940's and thrust him into the modern day. Imagine if they left him alone for five minutes and came back to find that he had a random SHIELD agent in a choke hold. Steve would have probably proudly exclaimed that he captured the Japanese spy when in reality it was just some intern that was actually Korean.

Also, keep in mind that it's entirely possible that Steve Rogers never saw a single titty in his entire life before he got thrown into the ice. You cannot sincerely tell me that suddenly being able to watch Sasha Grey get all of her holes stuffed in HD would not be a mind-altering experience for the boy.

You could have made a whole sitcom with this as the basis of the humor. Like, in this episode, Steve meets Black Widow and slaps her ass before telling her to fetch a cup of the coffee while the men talk. Or in the season finale, he isn't sure which is more shocking between us having a black president or the fact that he supports gay marriage, and also what gay marriage is. The thought of Samuel Jackson having to boss around some idiot learning which words are and are not considered slurs now would be amazing.

Marvel really pussed out by not taking the character in this direction.

The whole point of Captain America is that he’s the embodiment of what America should be and that includes treating everyone equally and with respect. He wasn’t racist back in the 1940s and he wouldn’t be now. It’s not a hard concept to grasp Lawlz. Then again you’re a lolcow.

1 MasterLawlz 2019-07-09

he literally could have been Jesus Christ himself, that doesn't mean 70 years of social change would not be incredibly jarring for him lol. There would probably some things he would say that he wouldn't even think are racist that would be

1 TheBigDogAteMyAss 2019-07-09

What would he say from the 1940s that would be considered racist? He treats everyone the same regardless of skin color, so words that are racially charged aren’t in his vocabulary.

1 BaldwinIVofJerusalem 2019-07-09

I don't know about Captain America but the Submariner was more on the Pacific Front and there are a lot of varied slurs against the Japanese in it.

1 Sarge_Ward 2019-07-09

you also have to remember that Stan Lee and just about every other comic writer of the 60s were a bunch of Hippies with a capital 'H'. Main characters in fictional medias almost always are a reflection of the morals and beliefs of its creator/writer. Cap is in Marvel lore extremely pro-civil rights, and even was during WW2, and anti-Nixonian because his writers were to an umpteenth degree.

1 ironicshitpostr 2019-07-09

1 Sarge_Ward 2019-07-09

1 Chapocel 2019-07-09

He lives on upon Roger Stone's back PBUH.

1 BurgerLaowai 2019-07-09

Captain America was written in the 40s though

1 Sarge_Ward 2019-07-09

He's got a weird background in that his backstory in the comics actually somewhat reflects his real-life story.

He was written in the 40s as US propoganda as you said, but after the end of WW2 there were no real stories to tell with the character, so he was shelved for nearly two decades, not having any stories until Marvel writers decided they wanted to bring him back in the 60s. The whole reason his background about being 'frozen during WW2 and returning in the Present Day' came into existence was to write a reasonable continuity about why he dissapeard from the world of serialized comics for so long.

40s version really had no discernible traits other than being 'generic supersoldier fighting The Enemy,' since he was made just to be a propoganda piece. His personality came into existence upon his revivial, thus why it reflects hippie morality of the 60s

1 Sasanka_Of_Gauda 2019-07-09

Idk why they tend to do that tbh it's way more fun to make a side character your personal stand in. That way you can actually present your arguments and their counters without making it hamfisted and preachey.

1 -Kite-Man- 2019-07-09

Even Stan Lee didn't think he was a "writer", get it together

1 d-amazo 2019-07-09

The whole point of Captain America is that he’s the embodiment of what America should be and that includes treating everyone equally and with respect.

why is it that your hot takes on fictional media are always so fucking retarded? like that shit where you complained about the existence of a wheelchair in some gay show that literally has dragons and shit (and the fact that wheelchairs existed since like the 16th fucking century)

1 MasterLawlz 2019-07-09

my hot takes are the only reason you keep coming back here, admit it

1 d-amazo 2019-07-09

i mean you're not wrong but you're still retarded and don't know enough about fiction and fiction writing to make such dumbass hot takes.

1 MagicHoudini 2019-07-09

They made a big deal in an earlier season about Tyrion inventing some contraption for him to move around on horses.

Then season 8 came and boom, modern day wheelchair.

Not every white person is racist. Even in the 40s

1 TheRealBaboon 2019-07-09

[Wrong, in 1948, 74% of Americans opposed desegregating the Army([A 1948 poll found that only 26 percent of Americans favored “having Negro and white troops throughout the U.S. Armed Services live and work together.”]

1 Flipdatswitch 2019-07-09

you literally just proved yourself wrong by saying 26% weren't racist?????

1 TheRealBaboon 2019-07-09

Those people are all Italians, Jews, and Irish, who aren't technically white. Look up the Hajnal line, that's what truly distinguishes it.

1 itsnotmyfault 2019-07-09

In the movies, when he meets Falcon for the first time, there's a moment of racial tension that I'm not sure white people caught on to. "You must miss the good old days" It's very obliquely asking about if it's weird seeing black people as equals, but Chad Rodgers completely dodges it by saying polio being gone is pretty nice.

Polled in 1945, 91% of American soldiers said they would rather lose world War than end segregation.

can I get a link on that? If so that's unironically a fascinating stat

1 TheRealBaboon 2019-07-09

I got it from an a scanned book image that was going around on 4chan. I'll look for the image and get back to you. All the other polls on race relations for the time period show similar sentiments to this one, this one stands out because it was a poll of fighting age men that didn't dodge the draft, so there were almost no liberals or women in the sample group to water down that 91% pro-segregation number.

Steve would have probably proudly exclaimed that he captured the Japanese spy when in reality it was just some intern that was actually Korean.

That's a mistake a recruit raised under today's political correctness would make. Back in the Captain's day they just trained the men in how to distinguish Asians.

1 Imgur_Lurker 2019-07-09

the entire point of the movie with the timeline stuff means Captain America is literally a horrible monster who allows all the horrific events from WWII to 9/11 to happen just to get laid.
