And it's SO, SO much worse now. Which Marvel superheroes would stand against the current US government if they existed in the real world, I wonder? I'd like to think most of them would.
Horror movie I want to watch, retired Americans go to a Vietnam vacation resort, One dies, accident? they keep enjoying their vacation, they slowly learn that they are not only all vets, but served in Nam, including the massacring of a village. they keep dying, no longer accidents. The resort does nothing to help. police ignore them. Twist at the end is that the whole resort was built where the village stood and all staff (and police) are descendants of survivors.
Haven't heard that one before. Do you mean Diaper Donny? I know he's amazing at destroying America, but I wouldn't call him a captain tbh. I prefer to call him by his official title, "pedo sex offender and crook Diaper Donny".
Edit: oh you didn't call him a captain but super villain. I stand corrected.
A Puerto Rican girl in HS wrote Portorico as one word on her backpack in whiteout. I've made it a point to make sure I knew how to spell Puerto rico since them and not look like a fucking moron. Nothing against you, just a special memory of an idiot.
Fun fact, in one of the what if comic runs Cap goes AWOL and nominally sides with the North Vietnamese. It's balanced out by the fact that in the absolutely worst universe Cap is a cannibal and taught nick fury, the one with the X-men concentration camp not Marvel zombie.
When the White House was burned down, there wasn't really a Canada yet. There were multiple different British colonies to the north of the US, but they didn't consider themselves to be a countries at that point in time.
Also, the burning of the Washington was a response to the American burning of York (now Toronto) a year earlier. That was seen as a war crime, because you didn't torch civilian infrastructure during a war, at least not on purpose. When the British took Washington, they could have burned the whole thing down, but even though they were taking revenge for the Americans burning and looting York, they held back and only burned government buildings.
For real though, the actual Captain America superhero is pretty vulnerable. He took Super Soldier Serum so he's stronger than regular people. But, he couldn't beat the Hulk, Doctor Doom, Magneto, Ultron, Thanos, etc. in a one-on-one fight.

America is currently being absolutely destroyed by:

captain propaganda (where most of the propaganda is so transparent that any decently educated 13 year old should be able to see through it)

Is that really a twist?
I think a plot twist would be, if there was a metaphysical maelstrom of guilt and they kept offing themselves because of it.

Even when the war happened before I was born it doesn't feel like "history" to me. Maybe because of all the movies that revolve around it.
