Fans Claim Anthony Mackie’s Captain America Has the Worst Dialogue in the MCU – He Has To Do Better

by

As a seasoned gamer and long-time Marvel fan with over two decades of fandom under my belt, I must confess that the ongoing debate surrounding Sam Wilson as the new Captain America has left me rather perplexed. Having witnessed the evolution of the MCU since its inception, I’ve grown accustomed to both its triumphs and stumbles, but the dialogue in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has left me scratching my head more than once.

With the upcoming release of “Captain America: Brave New World“, many devoted fans find themselves displeased that Sam Wilson is now taking up the mantle as the MCU’s new Captain America. This dissatisfaction has been heightened by reevaluating past projects, such as “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier“, where certain lines spoken by his character have drawn recent criticism.

“The television series ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ was highly praised for its thought-provoking content, yet some viewers found certain dialogue to be somewhat unfortunate and bordering on comical.”

As a passionate viewer, I recently came across a YouTube clip that shed light on an intriguing ambiguity in “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.” In the final stages of the series, after my hero, Anthony Mackie’s character dons the Captain America suit, he squares off against those responsible for the rise of the Flag Smashers. When they brand Karli Morgenthau and her allies as “terrorists,” Sam Wilson swiftly steps in to set the record straight.

You have to stop calling them terrorists.

Karli Morgenthau heads up the Flag Smashers, a faction pushing for a return to the way things were during the Blip – a time when Thanos eliminated half the world’s population. Their objective is to recreate this state by promoting open borders and reallocating resources. Although Karli champions equality and justice, her actions grow more radical and aggressive, culminating in activities that fit the description of terrorism under the law.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but notice the focus on the “You gotta do better” line. The criticism mainly arises because, in contrast to Sam Wilson’s character critiquing the senators’ choice of words and laws, there seems to be a lack of constructive suggestions or practical guidance on how they could effectively enhance their actions.

A point of contention arises from the inconsistent depiction in the MCU of morally ambiguous antagonists. For instance, fans have pointed out that while Wanda Maximoff and Karli Morgenthau are labeled as “misguided” or “misunderstood,” John Walker is often portrayed negatively. However, they argue this inconsistency becomes apparent when considering the violent actions of Karli, who killed innocents for political purposes, which aligns with the definition of terrorism. They question why such characters are given a more sympathetic treatment compared to John Walker’s villainous role.

It’s intriguing to note that some of the comments propose different lines which appear to tackle these problems more efficiently compared to the ones written by the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s scriptwriters.

“While it’s clear that they are terrorists, it’s equally important to consider what might have led them to become terrorists initially.”

As a gamer putting myself in the story, I couldn’t help but appreciate the series for its initial portrayal of their transformation from activists to extremists. However, what truly marred the experience was their failure to address the fact that they crossed the line and became terrorists, causing havoc. If only Falcon had posed a question like, “Do you understand why they turned to terrorism?” or made a statement such as, “They didn’t begin as terrorists,” that unanswered scene would have been significantly improved.

Sam: You gotta do better, senator. Senator: How do we do better? Sam: idk do better.

Aren’t those characters acting aggressively because they were resentful about being evicted from homes that didn’t truly belong to them, even temporarily? For five long years, I would have been content just to have a place to live, perhaps for free. Yet, the characters seem to feel entitled to these homes, and this is clearly reflected in the authors’ writing.
