Wait, they named Cap4 "Brave New World" and failed to actually address totalitarianism?

So...let me get this straight: Some brilliant egg-head at MCU studios decided to name the fourth Captain America movie after Huxley's late-stage capitalist dystopian novel and went the route of government conspiracy instead of mega-corporate hostile takeover of the state apparatus?

Like...seriously?

Wow. What a wasted opportunity.

OTOH, I guess no one really wants to see their superhero movie reflecting the reality they live in and be reminded of the fact that superheroes don't exist IRL and you can't punch fascism into submission when your fellow countrymen are overwhelmingly rallying behind it.

But still. What a waste.
