One of the directors that Marvel Studios has signed is Nia DaCosta and she has a very interesting vision of what Captain America did in Avengers: Infinity War.
The Captain America has been in the Marvel Studios Cinematic Universe from the beginning and has always represented the best virtues of humanity such as freedom, honor, companionship and a long etcetera. Therefore, it is difficult to see him as a villain. But now the principal Nia DaCosta who will take care of The Marvels (Captain Marvel 2), has given his peculiar vision of things.
In the movie Avengers: Infinity War, we can check how the “sons” from Thanos they come to Earth looking for the Gems of Infinity. The Captain America decides to protect Vision in Wakanda so they don’t remove the Mind Stone from his forehead.
Nia DaCosta He offered his opinion on how he felt when he saw the decisions Captain America made in Avengers: Infinity War.
“Something I like to say lightly about Captain America is that the snap is his fault because he was trying his best, trying to do the right thing. There is a world where he is a villain because, at the end of the day, he should have sacrificed Vision. He chose the life of a robot, albeit conscious, over literally the entire universe. There is a kind of anti-hero in that if you want to see it through that lens.
“People would say that I am crazy to think that way, but there is something about the journey of the anti-hero and the hero. The hero’s pain is something that drives them to martyr themselves. While the pain of an antihero begins its journey instead of ending it.
Is right?
Maybe Captain America say the phrase of: “We do not exchange lives, Vision”. Therefore, he tried to protect his friend until the end, despite being a robot. Which caused many in Wakanda to die in the epic battle, plus there were no guarantees that destroying the Mind Stone would work. As was well demonstrated, Thanos rebuilds it with the Time Stone after Scarlet Witch disintegrate it. What’s more Doctor Strange He does the same, as he has sworn to defend the Time Stone and destroying it is never an option.
But… what was the alternative? If you give the Mind Stone to Thanos without fighting causing the immediate death of Vision, they may have left without bloodshed, but the plans of Thanos they included genocide on a planetary level. So not protecting Vision with everything they had at hand would have led to the same conclusion. Without forgetting that nobody in Wakanda he was forced to be in that battle, since they are an honorable and warrior people. That is why they understand that the Captain America it is the best for them and for humanity.
If there is any character that could be to blame for Thanos will triumph, that is Peter Quill / Star Lord, since when they have controlled the great villain, he is enraged by the death of Gamora and this causes that they cannot remove the Infinity Gauntlet from him. While Captain America He is the one who always stands tall and can gather all the heroes for one last showdown in Avengers: Endgame (2019).
