he's not just a dude, though I don't know what origin they're using for his powers- depending on what they crib from the comics I think you've got your choice of "panther god", "alchemy", and "suit made with magic wonder metal" (probably the latter)

though it's Wakanda so who knows, maybe it'll be Vibranium nanites or something

I see they found that it's easier to chimerize people and cats after the failed experiments with people and dogs.

If Star Wars replaces superheroes as the big tentpole movies then what does that say, though? Revolution, maybe. But then again the first Star Wars movies coincided with Jimmy Carter's failed regime and the rise of Reagan so we're screwed either way I think. And the second ones kicked off right when George W. Bush went hog wild.

Hydra are Nazis in everything but name, but the Marvel movies are stupid anyway. They're at least inoffensively liberal authoritarian whereas DC movies have been overtly fascist.

Editing offensive content out of a WW2 movie for the German market and such is too much work, so just don't talk about Nazis at all.

Hydra was explicitly the actual Nazis in that movie though, they were just a mystical/superscience branch of the Nazis

yeah a superhero movie kinda needs a villain that you can name 5 seconds after leaving the theater.

Why would Germans want to see a movie called "Captain America" anyway?

afaik if you make art that displays any imagery of unconstitutional groups, then it can only be purchased by adults - and that's inherently problematic for a PG-13 movie.
