What the 'Captain America' Revelation May Mean for the Marvel Cinematic Universe

With the world losing their minds over the fact that Captain America; Steve Rogers, has been a Hydra agent all along, I figured I would share my thoughts on the matter. I will not lie, I giggled when this came out since I have never been a huge Captain America fan and while people are starting to jump ship, please don’t come to Team Iron Man just yet.  I am not a huge comic book reader, so I cannot reference what happened in them, but I do like the movies and could see how this could have happened, especially after Civil War. 

What I noticed in Civil War is how hesitant Cap was to join a world run team of Avengers.  Why would this be an issue you may ask, there is no Hydra, period.  So instead of having a government run him and his team, Steve may be looking to bring his former team back to power.  With Bucky being an agent and Steve being his best friend, how can you not think that the moment had come between them that maybe Hydra had it right and although they might not want to take over the world, they could keep other governments besides their own from becoming too powerful. 

There were earlier signs that Cap was not happy with his orders long before Civil War and where I would believe that this all started, at least in the cinematic universe is when he met with Dr. Arnim Zola in The Winter Soldier. Although the doctor was a computer program, he was making some good points that Cap needed to think about and at this point he knew that there were Hydra agents all over the nation. Although Hydra had taken over S.H.I.E.L.D., and was defeated by Rogers, it does not mean that he does not believe in what they were trying to do.  Protect the world at all costs, right? Maybe just not with a gun pointed at everyone’s head, but a good little assassin like the Winter Solider might make the world a better place.

Walking away from the most powerful team on the planet, Rogers can no longer be called Captain America and it may have been planned that way, since he wants to don a different shield. This could cause a huge storyline change in the Marvel Universe and it could work since the next time we will see any of the Team Steve Rogers characters returning will be in Infinity War.  There could be a rebirth of Hydra that could become stronger than ever before with Rogers at the helm.  The world could become the safest place for anyone to live in, especially with Steve Rogers pushing his morals over everyone.  But that is just my two cents, until next time, Hail Hydra and it is better to not buy books than to burn them.  ​​
