Captain America: Brave New World is a disaster. There's no way around it. Not only boring and dull beyond belief, the new MCU film is also perhaps the most politically incoherent and yet cowardly thing they have ever done. Scandal-plagued and now critically derided upon release, the MCU has denied reports of nigh-infinite reshoots and reedits but the film onscreen and its incompetence show otherwise.

All of the oppressed in the film are regulated to the background and thus their torment is not truly felt or understood. The shower scene is astonishingly exploitative in how the emotional reaction being prodded…
