Fun Fact: In the Ultimate Marvel
Universe for some reason that I don't know Captain America hates the french
@@The_Blue_Otaku That's only because a Brit and a Scot wrote him that way.
@@ryanbauer3680 Makes sence most of europe already makes fun the french just for waving the white flag of surrender during World War 2
Cap was picked for his strong moral character after all, he wasn’t just a 1940s dude randomly given superpowers.
That was because they were kind of forced too after seeing what happens to anyone not pure taking it like Red Skull.
You know if it worked the same on everyone they'd have put it in a loyal racist sheep dog ready to beat down anyone the government told them too no questions asked
In a universe where people can shoot moons at people, create universes, and build hyper-advanced suits of armour with entire armouries built into them, captain america's greatest super power is his tenacity and determination to fight for a better tomorrow, and that's something no supersoldier serum on earth can give you
Considering what was normal back then, they certainly could've chosen someone whose views wouldn't have aged as well.

@@bwackbeedows3629 Well, it was a German scientist who made the serum, I don't think he'd qualify xenophobia as being normal considering he'd be facing it everyday. So, it makes sense he'd choose Rogers.
Captain America goes to a gas station after returning to society:
"HOLY SHIT THIS BAG OF BEEF JERKY COSTS A CAR PAYMENT"
Yeah but his bank account if it still exists probably collected an obscene amount of interest.
And for gods sake Steve watch your language
@@aryssamansfield9735 like that Futurama episode
@@supermarroman9120 I always found it weird how this became some prominent piece of fanon given just how much soldiers and military people have generally always used foul language. Even if Steve doesn't curse, I imagine he was around so many people who did in WWII that he wouldn't actually care, at least enough to attempt to censor people unless they were either minors or throwing out slurs.

@@josegonzalez-ii3vt Honest to God I was expecting the kid to be Jewish at first.
That was amazing. I just knew they would go with the old "Cap is from the 40's so he's a bigot" gag. It's a good gag. This is vastly better. Completely unexpected. 😆😆
GERMAN
Jesus.
What makes this better is that _no one_ predicts when a Shell Shock episode comes on, it just does.
Sadly, this means Cap just leveled an entire city while unconscious in a nightmare.
Considering he's Jewish, or at least Jewish adjacent, it's weird that people expect him to be racist despite his experiences in the war
Ive seen a lot of jabs that Cap came from a time that would beat up wemen, but never crossed my mind he would be unhinged to nazi cause they were literally at war back then lmao
There's one comic where Cap is seeing a SHIELD doctor, and she's a black lady, and he's like "wow, YOU'RE the doctor here?" with a big smile. She seems apprehensive and asks if it's a problem, but he says no, "it's just nice to see."
I think about that a lot.
He's a bit insensitive- but he's got the spirit.
I guess it's fair. Not much opportunity for black people back in his time.
I like that, it feels realistic. He's a nice guy who wishes the best and who isn't used to black people getting a chance.
@@gabrielegenota1480 I don’t think he was insensitive. Maybe could’ve worded the start better
@@theolympiyn8670 that's being insensitive mean.
@@theolympiyn8670 "poorly said", from Captain America, I guess.
"The A on my head stands for an America better than the one we have today"
"Yeah well the single star with red and white stripes stands for Puerto Rico.. Or was it Liberia? Fuck if I know country flags, but yours certainly lacks the stars to be America"
"You seriously want to go down to that level, 'Titanium alloy Man'? I've caught up enough to know your fancy suit isn't plain iron"
I imagine an iron suit would be very, very problematic.
The stars in the American flag is suppose to represent its every state, therefore you could just easily assume he logically comes from one state with is New York, hence the one star but if you really want to go down the amount of stars he actually has, it is THREE; one on his chest area, the other two on his shoulder pads and fourth if you count the shield. So that joke is a bit ignorant.
It could mean Texas
@@perce1veALL The original Jack Kirby Captain America, who is the one featuring in this video, didn't have stars on his shoulders.
This is good stuff
"What do you mean, you come from the 40s"
"Alright but that doesn't mean everyone was an asshole"
That's a fair point Cap
Very fair point
If being "asshole" was the norm back then, then is it really being an asshole? The average Joe, since the majority were white, would probably not think much of it.
Wish we had the humility to see morals change.
When you put it like that...
@Bogda Nov They were racists, they ware sexists, they were anti-semites ... and some of them were good people 😼
That's just how we see our ancestors. They were all stupid and morally inferior to us. Demonstrates how highly we think of ourselves, ignorant to the fact that out descendants will think the same of us. Stones and glass houses.
The "I have a black friend" joke is funny, but it becomes twice as funny when you realize iron man does in fact have a black friend. (Roddy/War Machine)
So does Cap (Falcon). Cap recruits Falcon for the Avengers in the comics.
Everybody needs a black friend in their lives
Who’s Roddy?
@@aaronalkor James Rhodes
What's even more funny is that War machine as a character is far younger than Iron Man, hell, I'm pretty sure the frames these memes are made with predate the character
I love the way Cap says German
It’s like how Mermaid Man always said “Evil” every a villain was around
Cap gives an important lesson. Never assume people of the past were all regressive intolerant people. Some were wiser than most people today.
Yeah, racism would’ve never been decreased if everyone was racist
Most were and still are racist though. Sheep who can't think for themselves
some...
@@emblemblade9245 I have a black friend
I like the whole speech about Captain America because it’s always how I interpreted Boy Scouts like Cal and Superman when they talk about America. It’s not that they’re reflective of what America is they are a reflection of what it stands to be. People are almost addicted to hatred that the simple concepts that not everyone gets. People don’t get that not everyone in a certain time period was a certain way and that “The American way” isn’t the same as “The America now” but doesn’t make it less valid.
I like that Captain America was always meant to be a representation of what America should be instead of a representation of what America currently is. Hell, Cap’ was fighting nazis in the comics before America even joined the war. Captain America truly is the embodiment of the American Dream.
aka a fantasy BS utopia.
Nowadays they should make Comics about Cap securing our border or fighting NATO but unfortunately marvel is not based enough
@@bjehulk Captain America would be fighting our current government if he were real seeing how America is very quickly nose diving into fascism and taking away basic human rights.
@@sweetbusiness9798
Our government isn’t leaning towards fascism, but other than that you’re correct. Our government is a disgrace to our country and has plunged our society into degeneracy. We no longer are the beautiful nation we used to stand for.
@@bjehulk Our government very much is, the republican party meets all 10 requirements for fascism and the democrat party is doing nothing about it other than “sending prayers”. AFAB people are loosing their rights, trans people are at stage 8 out of the 10 stages of genocide, segregation is going to come back, and gun control laws are still laid back even when we are having more and more mass shootings every single day. If you would like I can gladly show you exactly all the 10 requirements for fascism and how America meets all of them. I can even give examples for each stage trans people are on the 10 stages of genocide. America is literally copying Nazi Germany and so many people can’t even see that because we’re all brain washed into “American Pride” and “The Land of The Free”.
It’s funny how true this was- my grandpa ran a grocery store, and he would supposedly regularly help his poorer black customers by giving them credit for food when needed, and my Dad grew up hanging out with the black kids in his neighborhood (this was in the 40’s-60’s no less).
And being that my Dad went to a traditionally all black college and his best friend in the Army was black- it didn’t sound like he ever really had any huge problems with white on black racism when he grew up(though he was originally quite poor, so he probably had that to worry about), but apparently my Grandpa had a distrust/dislike of German things(as the war had just happened), and he had apparently had an old Luger pistol that he sold because of his dislike of German stuff… which is sad to hear: as Luger pistols go for a pretty penny these days, and I’d’ve loved to have owned one… oh well! C’est la vie. :/
Today, we’re exactly the same with Chinese and Russian stuff. That’s not racism, that’s war. That’s why the British hate the French and why Greeks hate Turks. Race isn’t really a factor
Your gramps sounds pretty cool
Just remember it was for the best, that he most likely sold it because he didn't like to think the thoughts that came into his head when he looked at it, and I'm sure it still wasn't an easy choice.
It's not uncommon for this to happen when veterans get older, sometimes trophies just start to feel like painful reminders instead. There is no reliving the "glory days" for men who took part in this stuff, there's only moving on from it.
We often forget that being from "x" year doesn't mean your values are automatically "backward" compared to now
Ideas don't come from nowhere
We wouldn't have the rights/ideals we have nowadays if people in the past hadn't fought for and promulgated those ideas first
Yeah, people from the past were no more monolithic in their beliefs than people are now
I can guarantee there will be a generation that will believe abortion is murder and that today's America is an atrocity and backwards. We'll almost always see the past as barbaric.
I don't know man, it's a pretty safe assumption that most white people were racist back then. I mean, segregation wasn't started by anyone else.
Yeah, the way some people characterise people from the past, you'd think interracial relationships were a recent thing or something.
Internet: Haha funny clerical misinformation go brrrrr
Yeah. A lot of his major enemies like Red Skull and Zemo are German, so ya might wanna get him to talk about that. Also Ya better tell him that the Japanese are our allies and we're cool with Italy before it becomes an issue.
Italy already switched sides during the war.
@@kashsmith6181 yeah but they still weren’t liked very much
@@bubbles261 I don't know. Never in my life, from any of the elderly I've ever met, nor from any post war media I've seen have displayed any serious anti-Italian sentiment. If anything, it's the forgotten one. Everybody only really cares about Japan and Germany. To the point that even to this very day, there are people with strong hatred towards those two, social/political controversy, and even those that believe we should inflict harsher punishments upon them in modern day. Italy is treated as the joke of the Axis powers whenever it is in the discussion; in my experience anyways.
@@kashsmith6181 nah i get you
Italians were just always hated in America in the beginning but I don’t know when that hate died out you know
Not necessarily because of the war or anything
@@bubbles261 Italians are actually “idealized” (the stereotype of them is) especially in cheesy romance movies with the Italian being a poor dishwasher (boohoo) that has a love to cook pizza and rich nice girl that just wants to experience stuff (sniffs rose for the 8th quadrillion time) who moved to the Italians town and together they get her away from her abusive mean parents and he gets a pizza cook job
Cap is from New York, a city of immigrants. Plus he fought in an racially integrated US army.
The racial integration of the military led to many veterans becoming advocatess of the civil rights movement due to the fact that they fought alongside people of all races.
New York is not a city of immigrates also nobody would like like their country being flooded with forgeiners especially cap who fought a war for that purpose
@@TheCalcMan Truman desegregated the military after WW2. So you're both wrong.
@@toontrooper4103 you're right, i got my dates mixed up. But the war did serve to accelerate the civil rights movement. www.nps.gov/subjects/civilrights/birth-of-civil-rights.htm
Not quite. The U.S. Army was de-segregated in 1948. Until then black soldiers fought in their own regiments under a "separate, but equal" policy.
Not really the army did not like to put Black me in combat units the army tried to use Black men as slave labor
“You’re not- What do you mean you come from the 40s”

Funny video as usual with an absolutely hilarious twist ending that makes sense given who Captain America 🇺🇸 was fighting back in his time.

Funny thing is Cap is probably the purest of the Avengers. He does not see someone for the color of their skin or their gender. He sees them for what they do, and what they believe. It’s probably been said by somebody…
But I really wish more people in power had the mindset Cap has. One of equality.

There are two things Captain America hates, bigotry against anyone, and the Germans.
Captain America: Despite the atrocities committed by the Axis powers, I will not hold the descendants accountable for the sins of their fathers.
Joseph Joestar: *I’LL NEVER FORGIVE THE JAPANESE*
Joseph wasn't even mad about the war. He was just mad that his daughter moved to the other side of the world after marrying a Japanese man. The worst atrocity any man could commit in his eyes! lol
@@Andyjoe522 and not just any japanese man, a dead beat one
Also, had an affair with a Japanese women and her pregnant.
Yeah considering his best friends during the greatest adventure of his life were respectively Italian and German during WWII, I doubt his dislike for the Japanese had anything to do with the war.
I suppose Iron Man could have started informing Cap about Operation Paperclip.
I love how your take on Cap is a more accurate portrayal of that era than most of Hollywood can produce.
Caps not wrong, that bit about women came from the heart.

As someone who knows pretty much nothing about marvel, this is the weirdest comment I have ever seen.
The delivery of the 'simply amazing' line makes me laugh every damn time. It's brilliant.
Iron Man kinda sounds like the short man in those “let’s says hypothetically” memes
0:22 Wow, the television = phones huh because the etymology of what a smart phone is matches a phone but it really is a lot more like a 1940s television
I was expecting cap to go off at any moment, but I somehow didn’t guess the whole German part
I love how Cap literally has no idea and Tony is just accusing him the entire time. 🤣
I loved the inflection on Schneider, honestly didn’t even need the part spelling out that it was German you could just tell how much he didn’t like hearing it lol, could’ve jumped straight to the jumping
Low key, I think a lot of fans sort of want Cap to be racists or sexist.
Ultimate Captain America in the comics is there for you but he is also a bit neutral.
Which kind of doesn't makes sense considering that Steve was picked because he was accepting of others.
Doesn’t he’s has sit by and let his country be flooded with foreigners that’s why he went to war in the 1st place
How can Cap be racist? Isn't he supposed to be jewish.......
I've never seen it to say it has or hasn't. I guess you could say "well there're probably some out there" and ok yea based on probability. But anything grand or of note? Anything of substance to warrant it a concern? Not that I'm aware of.
Oh and ultimate cap is generally just seen as a bit of a hardass and isn't as popular to his spider counterpart. Actually none of the avengers are that popular in that comic line.
Let's be honest... Dude surely got some PTSD so...
I really love that bait and switch you did at the end there lmao
These videos are like the most scripted and at the same time most adlibbed memes I’ve ever seen
I’m just saying this because the comment isn’t here anymore, on the original video there was a comment talking about how Captain America was surprised to see a black doctor, and when she asked if there’s a problem, cap said no and that it was just nice to see, honestly I just found that really wholesome
Honestly I think if cap did think how a majority of ppl did in his time, and had the moral views of some Americans at that time, he probably would’ve ended up being a lot more like the Red Skull. Gotta remember the serum doesn’t only enhance what’s on the outside, it also enhances what’s on the inside, which is why Cap and Red Skull are so starkly different but both took the serum.(also Red Skull took a prototype serum)
Why does captain America sound so much like swaggersouls lol
Steve's gonna lose it once he finds out about Anime slowly dominating American youth.
Pretty much

"EQUALITY IS APART OF THE AMERICAN DREAM"
Apart, adv.

A simple typo, or satire?? 🤔
Having never read a comic in my life and just seen parts of the first Captain america movie, I'd say it makes sense for the skinny guy who got rejected from the army multiple times to not be racist.
I'm glad Captain America is into equality.. mostly though. 😅
Yeah nothing beats equality when the founding population is forced to give everything to foreigners
I thought they were implying something else with Max Schneider lol
This one went in a surprising direction...
"Equality is apart of the American dream."

I love this style of dialogue too. When they talk over each other (in a way that's not overdone) it feels like an organic conversation. Reminds me of early Bob's Burgers. The early seasons of that show were so funny when the family started talking over one another and chaos ensued
Overlapping dialogues are difficult to pull off and hats off to that.
"The Meyerowitz stories" movie has such dialogues.
Imagine writing the script for that.
@The Supreme Leader thank you King John Un Un Un
Part of the lore reason for why Cap isn't racist, sexist, or homophobic, is that he was legitimately just a good person, and that's why the Serum succeeded with him where it failed with with Red Skull.
Calling it a 'lore reason' is very funny but I get what you meant by this, yeah.
@@Hifuutorian aslume has ruined the words "lore reason"
@@burner555Aslume?
I think the actual, in-universe part of it is because Steve was born to two Irish immigrants.
Remember that in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Irish-Americans weren't exactly treated the best by the Anglo-Americans who already lived here. They had to work hard in order to advance in society, much like African- and Asian-Americans who were very much repressed and downtrodden by Jim Crow and other racist policies of the era.
Steve could identify and sympathize with other racial minorities on a personal level from shared experiences.
It's also helped by the fact that Steve grew up in New York, the cultural melting pot of the world.
Thanks conservative white man 741
To be fair, if German Nazis were the reason you got frozen in ice for decades, you'd probably have some PTSD from it too.
that and also the nazis are still alive as well as the man who got him stuck in ice red skull and hydra

He did sound familiar indeed.

Okay and? 😂 Nazis aren’t right wing
I love the idea of someone in the present trying to tell someone from the 40’s how their normal way of life isn’t normal anymore, while they just go “dude, I wasn’t even a sexist or racist to begin with…”
A little detail I really liked was Cap saying televisions instead of phones. Because if you showed someone from the 40s a smartphone and told them it was a miniaturized version of a common household item, how could they possibly equate it to their version of a phone?
No
@@firestriker3580 😐Bro… what????
Yes
Or he was talking about computers
@@pungoblin9377 Maybe, but Iron Man said everywhere you go, computers are more limited. It’s also possible Cap doesn’t know the difference, and just thinks they’re big televisions and small televisions.
Being frozen in the 40s and revived in modern times is an essential part of Captain America’s origin story. But the funny thing is, he was first thawed out in 1964, barely more than 20 years after he was supposed to be frozen. To the readers at the time this would be like a soldier from the invasion of Iraq in 2003 being frozen and thawed out today.
imagine how that soldier would feel about all the marines having an existential crisis over the evac from Afghanistan, as essentially everything they fought for was all for naught.
To be fair, a lot has changed since then
So... very different?
If we go by consoles it would be the PS2 to PS5
@@liamzakhaev Well, Vietnam happened in 1964. And captain America was thawed out in 1964.

What's cute is that when Captain America was saying "television" he actually meant the smart phone, because a smart phone really looks much closer to a television than a telephone, considering almost 80% of it is screen

*Broke:* "Captain America would be racist" jokes.
*Woke:* Captain America would sh*t his pants at the price of things because he doesn't know about inflation.
Based
A candy bar costs what!? That's absurd, it's a &*$(ing candy bar!
If Cap only knew how hard it is now to obtain a property he would have broke his shield
@Bogda Nov While I agree with your latter statement, I must disagree with the former.
Cap has always been a moral paragon, and was written as explicitly not a racist even back in the day he was created. It'd be silly to change that, because "it'd be more realistic." When in reality it would be a huge shift in personality and outlook, as well as explicitly conflict with the reason the serum did not turn him into a monster. The dude fought along side black soldiers without a comment in those old comics for example.
He might hold a bit of bitterness towards the Axis powers as well as Communists in general (While they where Allies in the latter part of the war, this was widely held as a deal with the devil, and Cap would not be a fan.)
The worst you might get on the racial front are those little slip ups that today's moral busybodies would call "micro-aggression." There are definitely some things of our era that would trip him up and make him uncomfortable, if not invoke his righteous indignation. People of different races getting along would not be one of them. (I actually think he'd be more sad to see what hasn't changed, or more commonly, the manner in which we have slipped backwards, in that regard)
He would probably be a bit of "sexist" though. At least by today's standards. Not a full on misogynist, just a bit traditional. (I would argue that doesn't count but many would.)
You know inflation did exist before the 2000s right? You couldn’t go into a grocery store in the 30s and buy a can of beans for a ha’penny like you could in the 1890s
“Alright, but that doesn’t mean everyone was an a-hole.” This quote could be paraphrased for so many situations. For instance, you have the people online who treat people badly and then try to excuse it by claiming, “It’s because I have a mental illness!” This causes people who actually are mentally ill to respond, “Having a mental illness doesn’t make you an a-hole!”
Also, can we appreciate how Solid jj understands Cap better than anyone who’s been writing the comic for the past ten or more years?
Shoutout to my "friend" who says the most disgusting, Fascist shit and says "Oh sorry I have dyslexia"
I... uhh... the fuck? Dyslexias a fucking reading and writing disorder!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I know SO MANY people who think having a mental illness gives them a free "be an asshole" pass, and love to quote "The problem with having a mental illness is people expect you to act as if you don't."
I mean, narcissism is a mental illness and it DOES make you an arsehole.
That's a misuse of the quote, I think. He only said that not everyone was an asshole; he didn't take the further (and inaccurate) step of saying that the people who _were_ assholes weren't products of their time. Everyone is a product of their time, regardless of whether they're an asshole or not. Similarly, everyone's behaviour - including bad behaviour - is a product of their mental health. Sometimes mental illness _does_ make you an asshole. There are a lot of mental illnesses out there, and they don't affect everyone the same way. Just because a specific mental illness doesn't make _everyone_ who has it an asshole, doesn't mean it's not the cause of some particular asshole's behaviour. A person isn't necessarily _lying_ when they say "It's because I have a mental illness." It's just that it's up to everyone _else_ to decide whether that makes any difference for _them,_ and whether they want to try to help address the root cause, etc.
I think I get what you mean. Mental illness can affect the personality. A lot depends on if the person uses their mental illness as an excuse to justify rude behavior or an explanation for why they might have rude behavior.

I love how he called Iron Man out on how his speech "came from the heart". The man may be a germaphobe, but he's not sexist.
germaphobe, awesome pun
Teutonophobe?
Iron Man must not realize Cap had the pleasure of working with Peggy Carter who was kicking ass with him
Tony can't do anything and take it to his heart if you know what I mean
I think a germaphobe is called a hypochondriac
to be fair Cap spent a good deal of his life as a weak scrawny guy, so he did kind of understand what it was like being pushed around by those who were stronger than him, of course it's not the same as being a minority or anything, but he does understand it can really suck when the strong abuse their power
Steve was a second generation Irish immigrant so he must've faced some degree of discrimination, even if his time was past the worst of the anti Irish period.
@@redskared8093 yeah if you've got a strong sense of morality like steve is portrayed to have, even a taste of prejudice would push you in the right direction if empathy didnt do it first
@@redskared8093 There was anti Catholic and Irish sentiment into the 1960s. John Kennedy faced near constant accusations of being a "puppet of the Vatican" during his election campaign.
More than any other Avenger, before all the superhero nonsense, he really was just some dude. A scrawny, weak dude with a heart of gold. He could relate a lot more with average people than someone like Iron Man or Hulk ever could.
Minorities arent pushed around by anyone today
I feel like not enough of the comments are about Iron Man calling women "an ordinary household item".
