The Marvels director Nia DaCosta blames Captain America for the
Snap which wiped out half of all living things in Avengers: Infinity
War.
According to the filmmaker, Steve Rogers could’ve stopped this from
happening if he wasn’t so driven in saving fellow Avenger, Vision.
He said: “Something I like to say a bit flippantly about Captain
America is that the Snap is all his fault because he was trying to do his best,
trying to do the right thing. There is a world in which he’s a villain because,
at the end of the day, he should have just sacrificed Vision. He chose one robot’s
life, albeit a sentient one, over literally the entire universe. There’s a sort
of anti-hero in that if you want to look at it through that lens.
The director added: “People would say I’m crazy for thinking that
way, but there’s something connected to the journey of the anti-hero and the
hero. The hero’s pain is something that spurs them to martyr themselves, and an
anti-hero’s pain is a thing that kind of starts their journey as opposed to
ending it.”
A harsh truth? Maybe so. But at the end of the day, Cap and the other
super-survivors mounted an audacious comeback via the Quantum Realm and time
travel in 2019 sequel Avengers: Endgame.
