Captain America: Brave New World isn't a perfect film, but it's a hell of a lot better than Marvel ’s recent offerings.

At their best, Marvel films are n’t Shakespeare , but they are good action movies—even if they feature men who fly around in metal suits, dress like cats, and talk to ants.

In Avengers Endgame, the climax of almost twenty years of Marvel films, half of the Earth 's population is wiped out of existence and then brought back five years later .

In the latest Marvel film, the film doesn’t grapple with the “Brave New World ” in which Marvel ’s characters are now living.

The last three Captain America films (First Avenger , Winter Soldier , and Civil War ) chart a journey away from simplistic moral and political certainties.

The film makes some attempts to rebuild a sense of moral clarity through the character of Ross .

Marvel may be back on form with two more films coming out this year , Thunderbolts and The Fantastic Four .

Marvel’s subsequent movie, The Marvels , was punished at the box office, where it made around US$200 million—$100 million less than it cost.

Captain America: Brave New World contains no lightning-bolt-firing teddy bears or men with broccoli heads.
