At least Col. Nick Fury, still injured, questions the total destruction of the organization he spent a lifetime building. Sam Wilson at no point in the film verbally or non-verbally expresses the barest hint of disagreement from or even independent thought toward Captain America. Again, I don’t want to make an overly inflammatory metaphor here – this wasn’t Solomon Northup’s thirteenth year. But I disagree that Wilson was a useful surrogate for the audience, since many in the audience could not blindly support Cap’s wanton destruction. Cap’s plan is ridiculous on it’s face – waste billions of taxpayer dollars and neutralize America’s global strategic advantage to publicly highlight enemy infiltration at high levels – and Sam Wilson emerges as his biggest cheerleader because … what, that’s we we’re supposed to do?
No.
Here I'm going to go on a tangent from the racial angle of that comment: Thank you. Thank you!!!!
I thought I was the only one to think Cap's plan to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D was moronic!
I loved the movie; loved it!!! yet, as I left the theater, in a distant and persistant part of my brain that wasn't cheering for the great things it brought, I thought:
What's going to happen now that S.H.I.E.L.D is gone?
Who's gonna watch over usa's security homeland from the metahumans with a grudge and the superpowered crazies?
Who's gonna deal with all that weird stuff?The normal governement who's already busy to the brig?
Cap, do you seriously think a country can exist without a secret agency? Are you seriously that naïve? (hello black widow's cute about face from your opinion in avengers)
It's not that complicated: all the guy who put gun sto other people heads and sung 'Hail Hydra' are the bad guys, the other are the not-bad guys, end of story. You didn't actually needed to destroy EVERYTHING!!!! *wails*
