They go from "the War on Terror is a scam and built on lies" (Iron Man) to "SHIELD is full of nazis" (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) to "CIA saves Wakanda".

      it’s basically “marvel superheros team up to crush antifa”

      Lmao you weren't kidding:

      "After being handed the mantle of Captain America at the end of Avengers: Endgame (2019), Sam Wilson teams up with Bucky Barnes in a worldwide adventure that puts their abilities to the test as they fight the anti-patriotism group the Flag-Smashers."

      Ah yes the thing people are clamoring to defend right now: patriotism.

      EDIT: They're also including an ultra-militaristic patriotism villain as the counterbalance. This is literally both sides bad ism to triangulate people into the "correct" opinion.

        “After being handed the mantle of Captain America at the end of Avengers: Endgame (2019), Sam Wilson teams up with Bucky Barnes in a worldwide adventure that puts their abilities to the test as they fight the anti-patriotism group the Flag-Smashers.”

        Wow, I finally a favorite Marvel character.:

        "Embarking on a campaign of self-described "anti-patriotism," Flag-Smasher founded an organization called U.L.T.I.M.A.T.U.M. (Underground Liberated Totally Integrated Mobile Army To Unite Mankind) designed to destroy the very concept of nationality and government, which Flag-Smasher believed to be the root of violent supremacy movements.

        Though sometimes described on the page as an 'anarchist' due to his anti-statist agenda, Flag-Smasher is more accurately described as anti-nationalist, particularly considering his insistence on formal hierarchy in U.L.T.I.M.A.T.U.M. with him as the Supreme Commander."

            Was that a later revision? It seems like he was initially created to be the antithesis of the Red Skull so he should have some commie leanings. Just look how this ANTIFA gigachad dares you to peep his ass.

      Presumably a different thing to the one where it's all sitcoms through the ages with the Olsen twin?

        a different thing

        Yeah, you're thinking of WandaVision, they're referring to The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.

        Just realized the names of these shows are literally just the names of the people in them.

          Right, that makes sense. I did wonder because people I know have been talking about how 'out there' Wandavision is but it seems to just be that bad episode every TV show eventually does where it's a dark version of a classic sitcom, but this time over and over again.

            how ‘out there’ Wandavision is

            I've seen people call it Lynchian, and it's just laughable. I like the show, it's fine, but having a mystery is not Lynchian!

          WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, Ms Marvel, Hawkeye, Moon Knight, She-Hulk.

          Real creative names there.

          (tbf WandaVision is actually kinda clever considering what the show is about)

        She's actually the Olson twins' younger sister
