Part 4/11:
One of the defining strengths of the previous Captain America films was their focus on character-driven storytelling. Rogers was not only a symbol of heroism but also a man wrestling with trust issues, moral conflicts, and the burden of leadership. This internal struggle was reflected visually—tight framing, deliberate cinematography, and impactful action sequences reinforced his emotional journey.
Brave New World, however, fails to replicate this. Sam Wilson's development is superficial; he's never placed in a position where vital decisions must be made, emotional conflicts must be resolved, or personal growth must occur. The audience remains spectators rather than participants. The film's plot unfolds without compelling choices, making the story feel hollow and the stakes meaningless.
