it happens once in a while when a comic character dies.captain America went through many adventures until Marvel comics thought it was finally time to cut short his life at 66 years.
American cinema is very creative as far as the propaganda goes; this character was created as a propaganda tactic in the world war II. Charlie Chaplin was also a product of that time; his first film being the “great dictator”. i have another cartoon video “Nip the Nips” starring Bugs Bunny.
these characters achieved multiple targets; apart from instilling blind patriotism, they also created hatred in the minds of people against others such as the japanese and germans. for that the American people of Japanese descent had to go through rough times.it took a long time to erase that hate.
so while Captain America might have given some people laughs at times, we should remember their dark aspects too.
