Yesterday, I rewatched Captain America: The First Avenger for the first time in a long while. When Marvel fans usually talk about some of the best films of the MCU, this film rarely comes into conversation. And it should, because I consider it was one of the best films of the early MCU as well as being a great comic book movie.
There’s so much about this film that works. Chris Evans is perfect as Captain America. Hugo Weaving as Red Skull remains a chilling performance. The action scenes are intense. The use of the Howling Commandos is perfect here (a film or limited series with them would’ve been great). The adaptation of the origin. This is a film that to me perfectly captures and celebrates the best of the Golden Age of the character. And when rewatching it yesterday, I realized just how wonderfully it held up as a fun movie.
What are your thoughts about Captain America: The First Avenger and its place among the Marvel (or even comic book) films?
Real WW2 ankle gators, died red.
What would you think about Steve running for a political position? It could be because of a villain and his desire to stop them, because he wants to restore faith in the system, or perhaps his wish to do more for people and the common man—not just as an ideal, but as a tangible presence. It could even stem from Sharon urging him to do it, guilt, or something else entirely. The point is that he ends up getting involved in politics. Would you like that idea? Beyond the execution, since sometimes a good idea can fail because of how it’s carried out, I’m talking purely on a conceptual level. Is it something you’d be interested in exploring? What would be your reasons for saying yes or no? And if you’re neutral, what keeps you unconvinced?
I’ve been playing around with chat gpt all night refining this idea for an ultimate Captain America return where he’d visit the 616 universe and come over.
I have a huge chat with chat gpt about this but here’s a basic summary of what we developed:
Captain America: Civil War – A Tale of Leadership and Unity in a Fractured Multiverse
After a massive multiversal event, hundreds of millions of people from the Ultimate Universe (Earth-1610) are displaced into the 616 Universe. This unprecedented merging creates chaos, with 1 in 10 people fusing with their Ultimate counterparts, leading to fractured identities and conflicting memories. Others face near-identical duplicates, sparking disputes over jobs, property, and families. Meanwhile, millions of Ultimate Universe immigrants without 616 counterparts struggle as multiversal refugees, trapped in a world that doesn’t recognize them.
To address the crisis, governments propose the Unity Act, a controversial policy requiring Ultimate immigrants to register, stabilizing merged individuals (potentially erasing parts of their alternate personalities), and granting restricted rights to displaced citizens. While some see the act as a necessary step to restore order, others argue it sacrifices fundamental freedoms. This policy divides the superhero community, with Ultimate Captain America (1610) and 616 Captain America (Steve Rogers) at the heart of the debate.
Ultimate Cap, a former president in his universe, supports the Unity Act and calls for even stricter measures, such as mandatory service for Ultimate immigrants to “earn their place.” For him, America’s strength and survival must come above all else. In contrast, 616 Cap opposes the act, arguing it betrays the ideals of compassion, equality, and unity that define America. To Steve, leadership means protecting those ideals, even in the face of chaos.
The growing divide ignites a full-scale “Captain America Civil War,” splitting the superhero community. On Ultimate Cap’s side, heroes like US Agent, Taskmaster, and even Batroc the Leaper rally behind his pragmatic, no-nonsense vision. On 616 Cap’s side, allies like Falcon (Sam Wilson), Winter Soldier, Isaiah Bradley, and Patriot fight for inclusion and freedom. The conflict escalates into battles in the streets, culminating in a showdown between the two Captain Americas.
The Turning Point: In their first encounter, Ultimate Cap overwhelms 616 Cap with raw physicality and aggression, but his fighting style lacks the martial precision of his counterpart. Realizing this weakness, Ultimate Cap trains under Taskmaster, echoing the controversial training of US Agent in Captain America’s earlier comics. This mentorship helps Ultimate Cap refine his combat abilities to match 616 Cap’s technical skill, making their rematch even more intense. Meanwhile, during their battles, their blood interacts, triggering an unprecedented reaction between their super-soldier serums. Ultimate Cap, whose serum didn’t prevent aging, is rejuvenated, regaining some of his youth. Simultaneously, 616 Cap develops enhanced strength and healing abilities akin to Ultimate Cap’s. This twist creates a level playing field, setting the stage for their final battle.
The Final Battle: The two Caps meet again, clashing as equals in both power and conviction. Ultimate Cap, bloodied but unyielding, argues that strength and survival are what America needs to endure. 616 Cap, though battered, counters with tears in his eyes that this—an America built on hope and unity—is the future worth fighting for. Their battle embodies the ideological conflict: survival at all costs versus ideals that inspire a better world. In the end, 616 Cap prevails, not through strength alone, but by proving the power of leadership rooted in compassion and vision.
The Resolution: The crisis is resolved through a bittersweet compromise. Most displaced Ultimate Universe residents are returned to their home universe, leaving Earth-616 with a more stable population. Some individuals remain—those who either preferred the 616 Universe or successfully merged with their counterparts. Meanwhile, the Ultimate Universe is left with a reduced population and must rebuild. Ultimate Cap, now younger and stronger, resumes his presidency, taking on the monumental task of leading his America toward recovery, informed by what he learned during his time in 616.
Why This Story Matters: At its core, this story isn’t about division—it’s about finding unity in the face of impossible odds. It explores questions of identity, leadership, and patriotism: what defines a person—their memories, circumstances, or choices? What makes a leader: strength or vision? And how does a nation heal after being fractured? By the end, both Caps are forever changed. Ultimate Cap learns the importance of compassion and diplomacy, while 616 Cap gains a renewed strength and pragmatism.
This tale combines the emotional depth of Civil War with the stakes of a multiversal crisis, creating a modern, resonant chapter in Captain America’s legacy. It’s a story of ideals clashing in a fractured world, showing that even in division, there’s hope for unity.
So captain America is a genetical modified to be a super solider and the world is cool with that and no one has a problem with that. Its not the most important of details someone would add to a movie still. I don't remember them talking about it in the moves.
Strong Will and Heart.
Looks and Handsomeness.
His Shield.
His super soldier powers.
His Gear(as in: if you could have his outfit and its capabilities in real life).
His Tactical and Strategic thinking and planning
His Bum.
