The release of Captain America: Brave New World is the 35th big-screen installment to be released in a mere 17 years .

The movie is the first in nine years to see a Black superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Critics say the film's release signals the end of “juggernaut ships” in the MCU .

AO3 announced it would be splitting the Captain America tag into “ Chris Evans ” and “ Anthony Mackie’s ” versions of the character last month .

Stucky fans wrote epic fics that swept through the history of the 20th century and played with ideas of identity.

The return of Captain America to the big screen is a moment to reflect on past eras and see just how much has changed.

The relatively muted cultural response to newer Marvel titles also reflects how much fan culture has changed in the past decade .

Like all entertainment corporations, money is the key metric for Marvel and its parent company, Disney .
