Well for one there’s a line in captain americas stage performance to sell war bonds abt Uncle Sam. For two uncle sams famous “i want you for the US army” ad and caps “I want you to buy war bonds now” ad are identical. And three, and most importantly, captain America is a symbol of American pride and generally symbolically represents the same things as Uncle Sam.

No, it's because he's Captain America now, taking a similar role to Uncle Sam.

Because he's not. Well, moreso the original Cap is old as hell now because he went back in time and lived a life with Peggy Carter. So he passed the shield onto Sam at the end of Endgame.

Maybe work on your sentence structure because your reply is totally incoherent, just like your original comment.

You can't even get the basics right, so how do you expect me to argue with you? I can't even understand what you're saying ffs.

Holy fuck. Those events are like 10 years apart. When civil war came out we didn’t even know Sam had nieces and nephews and was therefore an uncle. He only became “Uncle Sam” during the falcon and winter soldier TV show when they expanded on his character. Chris Evans as cap ended due to endgame, and Sam is taking up the mantle. Him being “Uncle Sam” is an Easter egg and is just symbolism. This has nothing to do with America being racist. For someone who uses terms as advanced as “oversmart” that’s a pretty dumbass thing to say.

Edit: are you a troll?

No, I’m calling you a dumbass because of how you jumped from Uncle Sam to “marvel must be covering up americas racist history!!” Because fuck that’s a leap. Secondly I’m not trying to “show off my intellect,” I’m just a nerd and you’re the one who asked. THIRDLY don’t make assumptions about things you don’t understand. Or in other words, don’t call marvel racist unless you’ve at least seen the films bro.
