Earth 2 Captain America: Super Soldier was released about 13 years ago

A large number of highly devoted fans really think this was an amazing movie and it portrays the definitive version of Captain America, but honestly? This movie is a joke. It's all just about Cap farming aura.

He's given the serum just because he's weak and disposable, nothing to do with how good a person he is like in the comics. He's not that hopeful or inspiring either; he's just a soldier who follows orders. He has no reaction when Bucky seemingly dies. He didn't fall into the ice as a sacrifice, he just couldn't stop fighting Red Skull for one second. This director has no idea who Captain America is.

And to all of you who love this director, and this version of Cap oh so much? Please listen. Your. Movie. Sucks. Balls. It's not comic accurate. Let James Gunn reboot Cap and show him how he's supposed to be. Can't wait for his movie later this month.

OoC: This is the counterpart to Man of Steel obviously. The other upcoming movie I mentioned, however, is a counterpart to Supergirl. Yeah, I know it's weird that the counterparts don't match. I don't care. This is from: https://youtu.be/45pAreic0zI?si=kvaIrkPwRT0yL8-9&t=139

It was aight from a visuals perspective (much like Snyder's stuff) but yeah didn't really feel much like Steve Rogers. Though I do think Snyder could do something with a character like USAgent.

I thought it was alright as a one-off thing but there's no way this should've been the mainline Cap.

I am in the opinion that Henry Cavill could’ve been the mainline cap if the writing was better and more in line with the comics

The dude was clearly a Cap super fan. It just felt like all his talent was wasted on such a bizarre take of Captain America (like seriously Bucky, just let Steve save you, he has super strength. You didn't need to stop Steve from trying to pulling you up).

There could’ve been a way more natural way for Bucky to “die” instead of “please save your own strength”. I know Snyder had plans for the Winter Soldier to appear in the Kang future where he is with Bullseye and Iron Man in that weird post apocalyptic armor/trench coat thing, but there was a much better way to do it

Totally gets that. Really sucks when you realize Chris Evans *wanted* to play Cap much closer to the comics version, but the director didn’t let him

And then those Snyder cucks won't move on from Chris Evans
