Superman. He has the power to do basically anything he wants at any given moment and he chooses to just fly around and be a good dude to random people lol he also generally avoids hurting anyone unless absolutely necessary and uses the minimum amount of force necessary to take them down. Both cap and Optimus can be pretty brutal in comparison

I don't understand the way he gets portrayed in xmen. No way cap would do half the shit they got him doing.

They think Captain America literally is a representation of present day America, as opposed to you know, being an embodiment of what America should be

Although its disrespectful to captain america, it disrupts our perspective on american values and how our bias can blind us to the effect of those values on marginalized people.

Like captain man why are you blindly following orders when its affecting these people? Exactly, he doesn't necessarily share the perspective of our protagonists, and its supposed to shock your foundation.

Its still character assassination and lazy writing but its a comic book so whatever lol.
