I never saw it but I can't figure that out either. Hollywood needs more epics in its style.

So, I'm sort of newish here, how do I add a flag to a post?

They can be, sure, but I doubt most of them are. And of course there's the comic book movie fan, and then there's the general moviegoing audience, which is a likely a lot larger.

And I don't see the progressive case against this movie along political lines. We're getting a black Captain America suiting up for the first time to fight an (ostensibly) evil white president, after all, plus the canonical removal of a Jewish agent's heritage. A likely plot point of this film will be the mistreatment of black people in decades past at the hands on the American military. If anything I'd expect angry neckbearded wokespotters to boycott this movie, but that audience is so small that their response to this movie will be inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

I do plan on buying their Blu-Rays as my budget allows since they're releasing Blu-Rays for the shows I want to see the most. It's nice that they offer that alternative for people without subscriptions.

Disney adapts so many movies from comic book stories, why don't they have the cartoonists and artists behind the original stories write the screenplays?

Not to say I'd be happy to see the modern Sam Wilson comics adapted for the screen but at least it'd probably be better than what they're working with right now.

People don't care about politics so much as to boycott a good movie because they aren't feeling the "American spirit"
