Bruh there is literally a popular media character called Captain America.

If you were trying to satirically come up with the main character of a state propaganda show, a name like that would probably come to mind. For satire.

Imagine how US Libs would react if a superhero called Captain China started getting really popular.

TFW Captain America is actually one of the less horrible "heroes" in the capeshit.

I mean, I'm sure he's a great guy in-universe. But the fact that he's canonically a god (he weilded Thor's hammer) and the protector of literally the entire universe, and libs don't think that could possibly be meant to say something about how the real America is. Meanwhile, they spend way too much time psychoanalysing any communist show.

I've watched reviews of the DPRK cartoon Squirrel and Hedgehog, and the parallels to real life politics they draw are just, a rubber band would snap if you stretched it that far. Saying nothing about how Japanese anime from the same era is actually pretty similar in plot structure and level of violence, is anime from a US supporting country also commie propaganda? It's also not like those countries are right next to each other, and could possibly have similar cultures that show through in their media, right?

Sorry, it's not you. I'm just in a salty, ranty mood tonight.

I'm not disagreeing, i meant it as "the bar is very low". As in "at least he really bashed some nazis", which in last two months seem to be unreachable by real life westerners and their media especially...

I fully expect proukrainian propaganda to eventually find its way to comics too in this or that form.
