There's a character called Peacemaker and hes Captain America but evil cause America does mostly bad shit.

However the movie is basically set in Cuba and the heroes free it at the end. It does a lot to try to muddy the waters and not make it seem to much like a real country, but the "Viva Fictional Country" chants at the end and line about now being a free and democratic country have to be courtesy of the CIA.

It's some incredibly politically confused shit. Kind of a good movie I guess, probably the best DCEU film and much better than his Guardians of the Galaxy movies. Didn't feel as focus tested. Its also basically a remake of the first one but with actual pacing.

    Good movie. Most enjoyable of all the DC ones, so far. Much better music choices this time around, nice pacing (kinda long tho), nice characters, nice deaths, just a good, well-made movie.

    The political messaging is a bit convoluted. It's not "America Good" or "America Bad" but more like "America Bad Sometimes But America Can Be Good". So, the best you can hope for from capeshit. Light-years ahead of what the MCU does, obviously.

    The ending is very lib. There's also a post-credit scene so stick around for that.

      somehow I feel like thats just as bad, maybe worse, but afaik Marvel does the same stuff. Throw in some "America bad sometimes" and it makes people think its not propaganda, which only makes it better propaganda.
