I don't know. If you follow through on the article it could be said that Mackie's idea of Captain America represents the dream, not the name of the dream.
It's an artistic interpretation of what he says, but he is an actor and actors fight unseen dragons with swords made of wood for princesses that aren't there, and always have.
The dream can be more than the name of the dream. The principles of the dream aren't limited to America, but best shown to be possible there.
That all said and done, the film will probably be crap.
He is trying to promote the movie to the Chinese market.
"No, this isn't about America. This about China being great."
He's black, so good luck with that one.
Damn, not only will this movie bomb domestically, they won't even be carried by China. Disaster incoming.
I would honestly love it if the poster for the film not only photoshopped the lead character somehow but just replace it with enough alternative options, like having Red Hulk front and center, that it looks like a completely different movie leading to even worse receptions because it's that much of a bait and switch.
You are likely correct LastRights, as an actor on the advertising campaign he's a mannequin for the movie before anything else. Hence the global appeal of the kid with the stick saving the imaginary princess from the dragon.
No, he's a nig, and China doesn't like nigs.
Based Asians.
Reminds me of this South Park scene
Charitable interpretation is that saying, "Captain America represents America," is a lazy answer and that one should consider the specifics of what that means. It's a clumsy way of putting it at best.
Still no interest in seeing this flop.
I've yet to see the Edward Norton Hulk one and so it's a hard sell for most people already when it comes to the Marvel brand.
Different Captain and a different actor playing the guy who will become a different Hulk is really stretching it.
But it's Black History month, so some people will be going along and so that's something for everyone who worked on it to take heart in.
Yeah but it's going to be Blacktain America vs Red Man Bad, so you just know it's going to carry all the subtly of a brick through the window, regardless of Harrison Ford taking over the role of Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross after William Hurt died almost 3 years ago.
I get what he's saying. Captain America is not just a person, but a belief system. Honor, integrity, doing what's right, etc.
Hulk Hogan used to tap into that before he became Hollywood Hogan. Remember the say your prayers, eat your vegetables and do your push ups sort of thing he used to say. I can't remember the wording specifically.
It'll be hard selling a black hero to a chinese audience. The bulk of the movies made are for that audience instead of this one. And they're not exactly a tolerating and forgiving bunch as past movie experiences have shown.
You've got to do better, Senator!
Senator: But how?
Falc: By being better!
Senator: Wow brilliant, thank you Captain Falcon America you are so wise!! I will do what you said and be...better!

Its funny how that became the most well known part of that little series and not the actual part where they tell the new Cap guy he is evil for killing terrorists who are trying to kill him.
Every day we stray further from the timeline where Sebastian Stan is given his rightful place instead of Captain Falcon: the DEI hire
HIS NAME IS CAPTAIN AMERICA, NOT CAPTAIN AMERICAN GOVERNMENT
I don't know why people are giving this any benefit of the doubt. Yeah, of course Captain America is about values, and that does go beyond America...but...I mean, Captain America. He represents values, but also patriotism and America.
I agree with u/LastRights, this just seems like marketing to China; trying to distance the movie from specific American patriotism, and make it more universal. Which likely won't work, for numerous reasons.
Bob Iger is most likely going to go nuts and start beating these "stars" with a 2x4. He's reaping what he's sown, though. Live by the DEI, die by the DEI.
Oh man how BLACK are things about to get next month?
I used to think Mackie was better than most Hollywood (like when he admitted he's not a movie star, the character is what's popular) lot but it seems the Kool-Aid has finally stained in.
He's not, he's shit at acting regardless of anything else and that should be the baseline measurement. Altered Carbon season 2 might have been a narrative shitshow when trying to combine books 2 and 3 together but changing from Rick Flagg to Sam Wilson was its own massive problem for the show. Ironically the best thing throughout was Poe who wasn't even in the books, they just weren't allowed to use the book version which was Hendrix because his estate said no. More the fool them maybe since Poe was so well enjoyed, but then maybe even if it had been Hendrix it wouldn't have worked as well.
He has had close to a decade now of Marvel execs in his ear hyping him up as the next big thing and one of the faces of their new MCU.
I think most people would fall to that poison even if they were once better than it.
Low IQ moment. He didn't know his words would be perceived as he said them even though a literal retard could.
Marvel always hated the shit out of this IP and Chris Evans is a retarded lib fag anyway. You could count on one hand the number of times anyone in ANY marvel movie actually is allowed to say the words “Captain America”. It’s always “Captain” or “Cap” or “get me Steve Rogers”. I noticed it around the time of the first avengers film. Hardly surprising they awarded the IP to an anti American leftist dindu who’s been terrible in everything he ever acted in.
Captain Nigger?
I don't really care if he's Buck Rogers. Still not gonna watch it till after all the reviews come in from real people.
''Brave New World'' indeed ( a dystopia book in the universe of which pretty-much any litterature that might make you think is banned, people are no longer born naturally, genetically selected and categorized for total compliance, and drug themselves passive.
This is the same retard that complained that Frodo didnt' see any niggers after traveling the world in the LoTR movies.
Dumb ape just didn't realize there were actually Middle Earth niggers - they were called Orcs.
