Hideo Kojima gives his thoughts on "Captain America: Brave New World"

You know you done fucked up when Hideo Kojima can't follow your storyline.

What does "officially becoming Cap" mean?

Steve Rogers Captain America literally passes the Captain America shield to Sam Wilson in Endgame. Is that not officially Sam Wilson Captain America's start?

Sure, Falcon and the Winter Soldier will go on to tell the story of Sam's struggle in becoming the next Captain America, but by that series end, Sam is definitely Captain America.

When Brave New World starts, Sam is Captain America. The opening battle, that's Sam Wilson Captain America.

If you've seen Endgame, you know Sam is Cap. If you've seen Falcon and the Winter Soldier, you know Sam is Cap. If your introduction is Brave New World... Sam is Cap.

That said I get the Brave New World & Thunderbolts confusion. Bucky is a Captain America character, so seeing Bucky in the Thunderbolts trailer makes that film seem like a Captain America film. I know it's not that simple and it's a shared universe, but I get that one.

If kojima can't follow your story, you know you're cooked.

Am I the only one who reads this as satire by Kojima?

This is literally what people used to say about his convoluted plots with a million references.

I thought it was pretty obvious he was going to be the next Cap after End Game (? The one where they finally beat Thanos). Even if you hadn't seen Winter Soldier, it was super obvious foreshadowing in Endgame.

I vaguely remember big boss being a woman in MGS3 but then in 5 suddenly they're a man?!

I mean the show is about Sam deciding if he wants to be cap or not

I want to know how he feels about Red Hulk throwing hands with Sam.

Not everyone rewatches MCU movies every year, so it’s understandable. What I don’t understand is why people think it would take a whole movie to convey that Sam Wilson is now Captain America.

I don't get it. They should cater specifically to people who have seen other Captain America movies but haven't seen (or don't remember) Endgame? What an arbitrarily narrow demographic.

I don't get why people have the simultaneous stance of:

• I refuse to watch even a recap (let alone the series) of other content prior to watching a movie
• I demand that no details have changed, and if so, everything is laid out in explicit detail so I can enjoy this movie about strong dudes punching each other

Pick a lane guys

I didn't know those things had to make sense.

Dying swans, twisted wings

Performative ignorance.
