It also does that trope where it has the revolutionary "villain" fighting to expose the systemic corruption be/act so unhinged and do evil things as to give justification that their critiques are wrong. It's a really well made, entertaining movie, but it's themes are just such weak centrist bs that I couldn't ignore it.

    yeah the one where there's a revolution of people, and when they finally rise up they get shut down by the new captain america guy, because revolution is apparently evil or something. just sit there and take it seemed to be the theme.

    edit: it was the show, not the movie
