I'm rooting for Captain America. I hope it does well, but no Captain America movie, even with Chris Evans, never made over $410 million. I guess we're talking about what a flop is defined as. It if makes $300m, its on brand with the other Cap movies.
The 1st Black Panther was lightning in a bottle At the end of the day, there will always be a reason for negativity when there is a black male superhero lead There's never going to be universal positivity like with a Wolverine or Deadpool. This is not a genre where thats ever going to happen. Everyone will celebrate and be excited for the classic tried and true WML, even black people.
I am root for Sam even though I am not a fan of how Mackie treats the fans, and how Marvel Studio's did a poor job of building up Sam Wilson, if he is going to "lead the Avengers" then he should've made more apperances throughout phase 4.
The saddest part about the Cap 4 reception with Black Americans, is that this character and the movie is 100000% more applicable to Black Americans than Black Panther (a ficticious African character). We blew our load on BP and now don't even care about the character that represents us the most.
@rockb922. I have been reading comics on and off for over 50 years. I have never met a black comic book fan who counted Sam Wilson among their favorite black superheroes.
Marvel is simply misreading the room so to speak. In the comics Sam does become Captain America at some point but in this political climate it comes off as some DEI hire and White Ppl are going to be turned off by it. The same way I was turned off by them turning Black Panther into a woman.
That is assuming people want relatability and not escapability. Sure Sam might be more relatable but a lot of Black Americans don't rock with draping yourself in the American Flag, working for Uncle Sam & taking over a White Man's Mantle. They much prefer the escapability of being the King of Unconquered African Nation. Surrounded by Black Excellence.
@@paulmartin7705 I never said anything about being a favorite. Sam Wilson IS a Black American and represents us, T'Challa doesn't. We're Black Americans, not ficticious Wakandans.
I’m the only one who is excited for this movie and I want this to be successful
I'm excited as well.....specifically for the Isaiah Bradley story. I like this story/history in the Disney+ Show. That represents Black Americans.
@ the hate for this film, especially nerdrotic calling him Captain African American proves to me most people just don’t want a black Captain America
I'm Only Excited for Red Hulk
@@TerrellAustin19941 I’m not because everytime I see him, I’ll just think about how they recasted Ross but not Tchalla
I'm excited, and want it to succeed as well.

Red Hulk only really works as an adversary to Hulk imo, and they ruined that character too
Who do yall think is a better actor Anthony Mackey or Sterling K Brown?
Easliy Sterling k Brown.

Mackie, but they are both phenomenal

@@paulmartin7705 Especially Sam as Captain America. But yeah most ain't taking Sam over T'Challa, Blade, Luke Cage, Bishop, Etc.
