Don’t give a shit about the serpent society or the Leader or teensy ex-assassins. If you need a Red Hulk, fine. But the heart of Captain America has always been “how much will this man sacrifice to do what’s right for his country?” To steer away from that because it’s also a Black story? - ThreadSky

Superman and Captain America are supposed to have the same super power!

Also: I find it darkly ironic that the Isaiah Bradley story is being silenced - much like Isaiah Bradley himself was. 🤷🏻‍♂️😒

I thought The Leader was a really cool and creepy villain. His presence in the movie continues the theme from FATWS of people being used by the government to serve agendas.

However, him telling that soldier "I'm the hero" instead of "I'm the REAL leader," is wack. What a wasted opportunity.

Addendum: There’s no way to know what any of the 42 credited writers tried to get past the goalkeeper. But it seems clear what the goalkeeper wouldn’t let in.

Yeah that was definitely a movie where the sharp points were sanded down. I’m still surprised someone said “Israel.”

It feels like they gave more respect to Sam's internal struggle with the Shield and Isiah's story in the Disney+ series.

Although, in a multiverse where variants could be anything, it would be dope to see him fully realized in one of the Earths (not 616) and as part of the Secret Wars.

A story that nothing is inevitable, just forced upon...

Does it seem clear? Seems like it could also be possible that the writers didn't want to tell the story you think they were beholden to tell.

Really, really want to know what the script and edit had in place, prior to Jan 20.

If there's a Disney+ show to do next it's Isaiah Bradley. Old Bradley is the narrator telling his story to Eli. We get cool Winter Soldier style action sequences of the flashbacks anchored in emotional storytelling. You propel Eli towards becoming Patriot for Young Avengers. Marc in the writers room
