Forgot to add this in, but for like a year the title was actually "Captain America: New World Order"
Funniest shit, it was speculated they changed the title because of...antisemitic connotations
I understand how Brave New World will be perceived as functionally less anti-Semitic, but do either of these titles (New World Order) even make sense as references to the MCU? I might have only watched 1 or 2 old MCU movie in the last 5 years.
I only remember 2 things, first is that grimdark Grimace snaps his fingers and everybody becomes sand, also the one where they (hopefully unintentionally) rehabilitated nazis by saying "no actually the bad stuff was hydra and some guy who rips his face off for no reason".
I don't think they ever suggest in the movies that Hydra were the driving force behind the Nazi's atrocities.
If anything, the Hydra plot in later films outright states that the US government had been run not just by fascists, but by actual Nazis since at least the end of WWII.
we referenced a book we never read! we're so smart!
...isn't that standard reading in US high school? I had to read that one, anyway
We got a choice of a handful of books, depends state to state I think
Makes sense. There were a few times where I could choose which book to read too, but Brave New World was one of the mandatory ones.
Don't forget to take your soma
I'll do it right after the orgy-porgy
Wait wrong dystopia Brave New World didn't have Nadsat in it did it
