Quotes

  • "Let's just be honest here — this country is as divided as it's ever been. Red and blue, black and white, Republican and Democrat, North and South — feels like we are constantly at each other's throats. We don't trust each other. We no longer see ourselves in our neighbor. And this is not some intellectual debate — people are dying. Our streets are burning. Inequality is soaring. It feels like things are about to break wide open. And it used to be — even if we didn't agree on what to do in our communities, we could at least unite in fighting common enemies. Everybody's okay with beating up Hydra. Even that's not so simple anymore. The good guys — S.H.I.E.L.D. and the N.S.A. — are getting caught doing things we never dreamt the bad guys would do, even in our worst nightmares. But the even bigger, scarier problem for me? In all these struggles, all these debates, and all these things tearing us apart — I have a side. That's right. I have opinions. Strongly held beliefs, even. And here's the thing — the more I saw the people I believed I was standing up for being walked on — the more I heard a noise machine spouting intolerance and fear, drowning common sense out — the more I wondered — shouldn't Captain America be more than just a symbol? Steve always tried to stay above the fray, and I respected him for it. He took a stand when he had to, but as far as politics went — he played it close to the vest. But if I really believed I could make a difference — if I really believed I could change some minds, do some good — then wasn't I obligated to try"

-While this quote is not directly from this comic book,this shows how no matter if captain america is steve rogers or sam wilson that Captain America is a symbol and has importance in our world and the marvel universe

-This quote also shows how Marvel Comics shows feels about the current times and how they use the comics to show how they feel about this.

Relevancy
