Luulin, että supersankarit pelastavat päivän, mutta Captain America: Brave New World näyttää, että väsyttäville Marvel-elokuville ei näy loppua!
Captain America: Brave New World on ollut keskustelun aihe, mutta ei ehkä parhaista syistä. Uuden päähenkilön, Sam Wilsonin, esittäjänä Anthony Mackie ponnistaa esiin entisen Captain Амерicasta, Steve Rogersista. Presidentti Thaddeus Ross, jota esittää Harrison Ford, avaa elokuvan intensiivisellä lauseella: "Et ole Steve Rogers." Tämä lause kiteyttää teeman, jossa käsitellään identiteettiä ja perinteiden muuntamista, mutta elokuvan toteutus jättää toivomisen varaa.
Elokuvalla on paljon aineksia, mutta ne näyttävät olevan hajallaan kuin lapsi, joka leikkii Legoilla. Mackien karakteri on hyvin inhimillinen ja liittyy yleisöön, mutta jopa makeimpien supersankareiden tulee joskus vetää henkäys. Elokuvan yritys nousta muiden Marvel-elokuvien ylle, kuten Avengers: Endgame, ei ole onnistunut. Kritiikki on keskittynyt siihen, kuinka elokuvassa on enemmän viihdyttämisen puutetta kuin odotusten mukaista magiikkaa.
Kritiikki ei kuitenkaan ole täysin negatiivista. Elokuvan että sen poliittinen sävy, joka vie sen kohti nykyajan yhteiskuntaa, on kiinnostava päätös Marvelin perinteisille kaavoille. Kuitenkin, yhdistämällä yhteiskunnalliset kysymykset supersankaritarinoihin, luodaan helposti sekaannusta - ja sillä on riski menettää yleisönsä. Monta kertaa katsojat saattavat tuntea itsensä ulkopuolisiksi, elleivät he ole tunteneet politiikan kiemuroita aikaisemmin liian hyvin.
Elokuvan loppuratkaisu yrittää luoda tilaa Sam Wilsonille supersankarina, mutta monet kriitikot sanovat, että se toimii vain ”pehmeänä nollauksena” Marvelina. Raskas on kulutettu ja jatkaa kuluttamista; mutta kysymys kuuluu, kuinka pitkään tämä voi jatkua, ennen kuin fanit kyllästyvät ja siirtyvät muihin franchiseihin? Elokuvan huumaava huumori ei ehkä riitä pelastamaan synkkää käsikirjoitusta, ja se näyttää olevan vain yksi lisää lisää Marvel-universumiin.
Mielenkiintoista on, että Anthony Mackie ja Harrison Ford ovat molemmat elokuvantekijöiden suuria suosikkeja, ja heitä on nähty aiemmin nostalgisissa rooleissa. Mackien hahmo Sam Wilson olisi voinut nostaa uusia tuulia supersankariin, mutta elokuvan viihdearvo on kriitikoiden mukaan häilyvää. Harvoin herättää toivoa kollektiivisessa muistikuvassa supersankarin reilusta tilasta elokuvassa, jossa fanit sekä rakastavat että vihaavat kappaleidensa rikkautta.
