Hey everyone. A quick correction. The adjective "linear" to describe the work of Marx and Hegel isn't quite right - they both view history as dialectical, which involves a lot of back and forth. But they both, as the video mentions, imagine an overall progress towards an endpoint.

@Wisecrack I would say comparing Thanos to Hitler is not a good comparison. Thanos for his "evil" only had one goal to kill half the population of the entire universe indiscriminately. Hitler on the other hand wanted to create a master races because of his butt hurt fucked up childhood and personal issues. Lawful Evil vs Chaotic Evil perhaps? Thanos has no view of class or race and care that once his mission was complete the sick would be cared for no matter who. Ehhh just my take on it. But great video as always.

I would argue that Cap DOES have an arc. in The First Avenger, he was a naive idealist who (somewhat) trusted his own nation to be righteous. He also sacrificed himself to defeat the embodiment of "pure evil". Waking up some 70 years later, he's no longer that naive idealist during WW2, and he learned the hard way that his beloved nation might not be too far from the proto-bully he abhors. Then he somewhat relied on the avengers as his family, and Civil War happened. Cap's character is not unchanging. Over 7 movies, he always struggled to find the immutable righteous cause, and he had to readjust to the ever changing reality like all of us. By the time of Endgame, he's significantly matured and more well-balanced, not because he always has the moral high ground, but because all the struggles and tribulations refined him. In the refining process, he gradually shed the poster boy Cap persona, while gradually becoming a fleshed-out person. That is why his ending is so fitting and fulfilling. Cap's character arc can also be summed up as Projected (propaganda) Hero VS. Real Hero. His individual movies had the biggest impacts in the MCU because they are the most coherent and serialized stories.

They completely destroyed his character arc, but MCU fanboy normies adore his arc in End Game because they wanted another Ragnarok Thor where he's a complete clown and the butt of all jokes, except this time, it's no where near as good as Ragnarok, because all his character development from that film + Infinity war was thrown out the trash can for lazy comedic relief.

"The snap cost Thanos everything, and it did the same for Tony." Actually, I'd argue the exact inverse of that. It's true, Stark died at the end of Endgame, but the play shows the contrast between him and Thanos, not their similarities. Where Thanos sacrificed everything to get the stones and use them, Stark had the option to just let everything go and live after taking the stones, with inherent risks in that, or snap and die. I'd wager that instead of it costing Tony everything, it cost everything Tony. everyone gets to live, everyone is back and in a full universe ready to rebuild, including the family he loves and all of his friends, it's just Tony that's gone. He literally sacrificed the exact opposite of what Thanos did, ensuring that his daughter would live for instance, losing only himself.

@3Rayfire

4 жыл бұрын

Well yes, but that's not actually contradictory. Keep in mind the most significant thing Yinsen said to Tony when he found out he didn't have a family, "So...you're the man who has everything, and who has nothing." By the time of Endgame, Tony has the beloved wife, the family, and peace. He had everything, except what it cost for that peace was too great. So in the end Tony sacrificed not just himself, but the ability to enjoy the everything he had gained. I think it also ties in to what Tony told Pepper later on in that movie, "I shouldn't be here. Unless it was for a reason." From Tony's perspective, he was living on borrowed time anyway, because it was his sins that put him in that cave, it was his bomb that should've killed him. But he was able to survive and become a hero, have a family, and see his Dad again, and then when the moment came down to it to save the universe...that was the reason. It was time to pay that debt to Yinsen for saving his life. "Don't waste it Stark." Stark died and lived a significantly more worthwhile second life than his first. Which compares to Thanos who when given a second chance with the Infinity Gauntlet was going to be worse than the first time.

Thor began on high, and lost everything to learn humility, service, and what it's like to still be good in spite of all his pain. He was brought low, but not defeated, destroyed or made any less for it. Rogers began at the lowest state but always had unshakeable integrity and wisdom, altruism and leadership. He gained an endowment that enabled him to direct his moral character and he learned how to keep his moral charcter in spite of everything he suffered. Stark began with an endownment of riches, intelligence and charisma, but never learned wisdom or attunement to his surroundings. He gained all the wisdom and power of the universe- and in the moment he could have abused it all he sacrificed everything in its defense.

After he saw the corruption inherent in the system in Winter Soldier and Civil War he tossed his star spangled shield aside and removed the patriotic elements from his outfit. When he was a man without a country in Infinity War his attire was muted and the star had been removed. He is the spirit of America. When he helped rebuild America after the snap he donned the stars and stripes again. That is also why he traded in his futuristic, corporatized uniform at the beginning of Winter Soldier for the IDEALS his WWII uniform symbolized at the end of that movie.

I'm not sure Cap was ever naive even as you state it. "There are guys laying down their lives, I got no right to do less than them." Steve personifies the type of person who runs towards the danger, but he understood that it was danger. After he got the serum he was basically told he was too valuable to actually be put in danger. His patriotic duty then became for the purposes of drumming up war bonds, because it was the only duty he could do. But Steve actually wasn't the guy who follows orders even in the beginning. He actually truly became Captain America because he violated orders and went to rescue the captured troops, which shows the singular unchanging quality that carried him throughout his trilogy and through the Avengers Tetrology. "I never really fit in anywhere, even in the army. *My faith's in people, I guess. Individuals.* And I'm happy to say that, for the most part, they haven't let me down. Which is why I can't let them down either." Steve was always willing to violate orders to save people. In First Avenger it was Bucky and his unit, in Winter Soldier it was the world at the expense SHIELD but while sparing Bucky, and in Civil War it was going against the Accords and even going against the Avengers to save Bucky. Now one thing that did change, when he saved Bucky's unit he submitted himself for disciplinary action for violating orders, whereas by Infinity War he was past apologizing or asking for permission. Steve is patriotic but he was never jingoistic. He did however lack self awareness. Which he gained over time. But he and Tony are definitely the inverse of one another.

Captain America does have a character arc. He learned to not blindly trust his nations authority and he realised that the world was big enough for him to step back and have a happy ending.

I love how the two main characters of the MCU Steve and Tony, are parallels of each other as well as their arcs' tajectories. Steve realizes that his intense, routinic life of fighting and war might be a bit unhealthy he always put people's needs and safety before his and never really got a life and his character progression is realizing his honorable but slightly unhealthy life of fighting and getting a life with Peggy while Tony lived his life (though not always a happy one), had all the money in the world as a narccistic self-centered playboy, learned to become a better person and became a hero, saved the world with the Avengers, failed to protect the Earth and lost the person he views as a son, and after starting a family and being relatively stable and happy for 5 years finally got a chance to avenge it and give his life, something he wasn't exactly ready to do (unlike dutiful Captain America) but accepted his fate and was assured the people he loved are safe and he can finally rest.

Hawkeye calls him the futurist in civil war

"I remember telling that was we needed was a suit of armor around the world! Wether or not it infringed our 'precious freedoms', that's what we NEEDED!" THAT right there is the essential point of understanding the Cap/IronMan dicotomy. Tony seeing the world as a miniscule grain of sand in the ocean after the events of The Avengers, realizing that the universe is so big, we are straight up not prepared, our freedoms are not that important anymore, because a common enemy (Loki, Ultron, Thanos) will undoubtedly unify the world against it. "Aliens, gods, and I'm just a man in a can", in Iron Man 3. While Cap sees the world as a collective of individuals forming groups, factions with agendas, originally thought as just as a black and white world (Nazi Germany and the rest of the world not allied with them) that eventually fragmented into the 21th century society he gets launched into, now realizing that the best course of action is not fixing the world from the outside threat, is about saving it from itself and their own 'Hydras' that might be still lurking in the shadows. "Yes, we compromised. Sometimes in ways that made us not sleep so well. But we did it so people could be free. This isn't freedom, this is fear", in Winter Soldier Is the classic smaller/bigger picture debacle: "is it more important to care about what's coming for us and unite at the cost of freedom? OR is it better to make the world a better so place the people take their own decisions and gain TRUE freedom at the cost of not seeing what's beyond the horizon?"

I loved the reversal between Tony & Steve. At the beginning, Tony is selfish, unable to make big sacrifices for the sake of others. ("It's mine, you can't have it," kind of distills this perfectly). Steve is selfless, unable to think of himself first, always 'on duty.' In the end Tony has learned to sacrifice, making huge ones to ensure the safety of, literally, the whole freaking universe. Cap has developed a healthier sense of self-regard, where he is able to walk away from the battle and live life for himself. Of course it must have helped that he knew how things were going to turn out in the end!

*Steve and Tony's arcs actually mirror one another.* As Steve becomes disillusioned with the state, he becomes more and more Libertarian throughout Winter Soldier and Civil War.

In the end Steve did change and it was Tony who changed him. Tony, who saw the bigger picture who fought hard to save the universe from a future only he was cursed to see. Tony, who actually faced consequences for his mistakes and learned from them. Tony, who refused to stop living just because he became a hero. He didn't stop, not once, even when his friends and lover turned against him, he kept moving forward, unable to stand still. In the end it was Tony who finally moved Steve by creating a life, a family, while still being a hero then by making the ultimate sacrifice despite everything he had to lose. This was why Steve finally 'retired' and lived the life he lost when he went into the ice. Tony took advantage of his second chance, Steve went and made his own. Steve, the 'Man Out of Time' finally rejoined the timeline and started living again.

I think you missed Cap's arc from selfless to a selfish end, "I thought I'd try some of that life Tony was always telling me to get". For me, the most satisfying elements of endgame was the juxtaposition of Tony's selfish to selfless and Cap selfless to selfish arc resolutions and how these were masterfully setup throughout the entire mcu.

The only time he does something not super noble is the end of endgame, because he now feels like he's done his service, and that his time as a hero is finished.

I highly recommend checking out the video on Goku and his character arch by I believe the channel TotallyNotMark. It talks about the character archetype of the Flat Good character. While you aay Captain America is more of an exception than the rule I would like to point out three other characters who roughly fit the same character arc archetype: Son Goku from Dragonball, Superman from DC comics, and All Might from My Hero Academia. All three characters I believe show that a the flat good character arc is not inherently boring, especially in the case of All Might and Captain America.

@Christian Tompkins I would argue that Goku transitions from Anti Hero to full blown Hero in Dragonball Z. Between the saiyan saga through the Freiza saga hes shown to be pretty unambiguously against the evil shown by the antagonists (Freiza is another good example of a flat character), and in the Cell saga hes more of a mentor, and then through the Buu saga hes the hero again. I can see where he was an anti hero in the original Dragonball series and even in the Tournament of Power arc in Super. But overall hes more hero than Anti Hero at this point. Hell, even Vegeta is barely an "anti" hero at this point

@fangsabre

5 жыл бұрын

@Christian Tompkins ehhh, Freiza is more like an evil trixter now. In Resurection F they proved that they could kill him again, so they make a deal with him during the tournament of power to be part of their team. I suppose you could call him an anti hero in the classical sense. A bad person doing a good thing because of his own reasons and in his own way. But if you're going to use that definition then I would not classify Goku as an anti hero. Yeah hes naive and tends to care more about fighting than justice, but hes not a bad guy doing good for his own reasons. Vegeta in the Freiza and Android sagas (and the first part of the cell saga) is still not a great person, hes prideful and selfish but hes fighting Freiza because he hates Freiza more and he fights the androids with the good guys. Goku has never been on the bad side at all. If I were to use the DnD alignment chart for Freiza, Vegeta, and Goku I would say Freiza is a flat chaotic evil. Even when hes fighting with the good guys hes doing it purely for personal gain and openly displays his disdain for the Z fighters, even attempting to make other deals to serve his own purposes and throw the Z fighters under the bus. I would say Goku is Neutral good. Hes actually pretty consistent so I wouldnt call him Chaotic. Hes not true neutral either since its pretty obvious he does care about innocent people. And Vegeta goes from Neutral Evil, to True neutral, to chaotic neutral, to neutral good from (respectively) the saiyan saga, freiza saga, early cell saga and Buu saga, to finally the end of the Buu saga and Dragonball Super.

So the 2nd type of character arc referred to is also known as a flat character arch and i don't mind then at all in fact i kinda love them(big luffy fan) and i don't get why they get so much hate even when used correctly

I think a reason may be that people, myself included, find static motality somewhat unrealistic in a way. It is probably because I rarely take up what I would consider extreme viewpoints, but I find it mostly absurd to hold on to absolute ideals, as I think it so that there can be exceptions to any moral stance, but that is of course nothing but a stance in and of itself. To specify, I think that some of the most interesting plots revolve around characters being pushed to the limit and forced to reexamine their values in the light of the world which they inhabit, and that just isn’t afforded much by flat character arcs, even though they can champion interesting positions on matters all the same.

izarahiah taylor I understand your position, but I think it does a disservice to the characters and stories if solely taken with that approach. Despite being fictional, they hold value in our world, one where it isn’t as simple as that in the comics. But that’s why they’re so interesting, why it’s so important to have icons like Superman and the Avengers. We need to be inspired, to know that there is hope and goodness in the world, even if it might look to be sour and depressing most of the time. That’s why I have such an attraction to “flat characters”. They really help illustrate that point. I believe myth and fiction can affect and inspire reality, not just we to it. There’s a relationship there to be founded.

I don't think Stark was wrong in his Randian ways. He is an individualist, but being a Libertarian is also promoting Voluntarism. He can own what he owns, but the WHOLE time he donated and promoted helping people voluntarily without the force of the state. It's an ideal way of promoting living, personal responsibility and helping others whenever one can. He even promoted higher learning and donated to projects (seen in the filma) to students who desire to help people as much as he has. He was the mentor of Peter Parker and built him a suit selflessly. He was a noble man and an example to follow.

I've always felt the that Steve Rodgers really just didnt like being told what to do. When he was in the army he disobeyed in order to fight hydra (which is fine btw, just an example) He wanted Shield to be dissolved during Winter Soilder instead of letting Fury take charge of it.

Cap morality does change though. He distances himself from the government, but also grows more selfish. The most selfish Cap is, is when the situation involves Bucky. He puts bucky above the greater good, because of his personal attachment to him and the past. Cap learning to be selfish culminates in his final decision in Endgame. He feels he has done everything he could and should have done and chooses the life he has always wanted.

Cap's attachment to Bucky maybe garners more sympathy, but it doesn't change his morality. Bucky is a victim and Cap is doing what is morally right by saving him. He doesn't choose Bucky over the greater good, he chooses freedom over the Accords. Bucky' situation overlaps this, but even then it's cherry picking because the only person Cap will sacrifice for that greater good is himself. This is mirrored when he refuses to sacrifice Vision to stop Thanos, and in Sokovia when he refuses to blow up the city to save the people below it. BW - "Everyone up here vs. everyone down there? There's no math there." Cap - "I'm not leaving this rock with one civilian on it." Being with Peggy is his act of selfishness after a life of selflessness. The man who fought enemies and friends, sacrificed himself time after time, was hurt, betrayed, and gave everything for others.... finally gave something to himself; Peace. "Captain America, God's righteous man. Pretending you can live without war." The arc of Steve Rogers isn't about Captain America losing his morals it's about Captain America keeping them as he becomes Steve Rogers.

This video has interesting concepts, and although right, I think it fails to understand the character growth over the 10 years in each of the character arcs, neglecting the conflicts in each one of their stories. Going from selfish to selfless in an uncorrectible world and unsolvable problems (Tony), the selfnessles and the struggle to fit in, to finally understand that sometimes it's ok to do the selfish thing (Cap), or how to step outside of destiny's shadow and to create one's own (Thor). Each of them was confronted with their own persona and broke it to achieve growth. It's not in the end that they shined, but in their struggle.

They did a rotation of character arcs. Tony took the cycle, Cap took the linear, and Thor took the ceaseless, as he heads off to space to find ever more enemies. For Thor, he's assumably getting absorbed into the Guardians of the Galaxy as a whole, a group who always has another thing they're rushing towards.

I always enjoy your videos, every time I feel like i want to re-read some ideas that I read back in the day, and having something to talk about.

id like to point out that the writers once stated that tony’s actual superpower wasnt his intelligence but rather, his ability to adapt to the situation. its been shown in many cases including that iron man 1 scene where he built his first suit to escape that situation

This is one of the best video you guys have made. I love the analysis of their character arc progression!

I saw Captain America's "unchanging" nature as the perspective that rooted the entire storytelling of the MCU. No one in all the movies had such dominance to ensure that humanity did not sacrifice or compromise its path to righteousness. To ensure we maintained a moral victory, even when things got real bad. If Cap wasn't there, Tony Stark would probably have ushered in an accidental dystopia because no one had the intellect to defy him. Cap had the charisma to combat Tony and show the world that doing the right thing works itself out. So, I never saw Captain America's nature as a problem but the thing that get all the other personalities moving in the right direction and not get lost in a sea of so many flawed perspectives.
