Why they won't put Captain America 2 in heavy rotation...

Post by Reverenddel »

And now... I realize why they don't play "Captain America 2: Winter Soldier" even after it being out of the theater for 2 years:

"Dr. Arnim Zola: HYDRA was founded on the belief that humanity could not be trusted with its own freedom. What we did not realize was that if you tried to take that freedom, they resist. The war taught us much. Humanity needed to surrender its freedom willingly. After the war, S.H.I.E.L.D. was founded, and I was recruited. The new HYDRA grew, a beautiful parasite inside S.H.I.E.L.D. For 70 years, HYDRA has been secretly feeding crises, reaping war. And when history did not cooperate, history was changed.

Natasha Romanoff: That's impossible. S.H.I.E.L.D. would've stopped you.

Dr. Arnim Zola: Accidents will happen. HYDRA created a world so chaotic that humanity is finally ready to sacrifice its freedom to gain its security. Once the purification process is complete, HYDRA's New World Order will arise. We won, Captain. Your death amounts to the same as your life, a zero sum!"

.....Because it hits way too close to home.

It doesn't hit "too close to home"; it IS home! The story writers wrote a documentary and changed the names to protect the guilty.

Captain American was created by the government in 1941 to be a war-time propaganda machine. It seems only Just that their own tools are turned against them.

I have always liked the Captain America/Nomad character....

Cap understands what "Nazis" are like. And he sees that in today's society. Why isn't anyone else paying attention?

Because like the Germans who were NOT Nazis... they benefit from it, and don't want to draw the wrath of them.
