Avengers: Infinity War: Captain America Once Again Proves Why He’s The Best
There is always one. No matter how you feel about the cast of heroes in any Avengers movies, everyone has their favorite. Avengers: Infinity War just proved why Captain America is the best of them all. From the beginning, I always believed Marvel made a huge error by placing Iron Man with the initial movie to set off the franchise. When in fact, Captain America was the first of the Avengers. But still, while Tony Stark made a lasting impression, it wasn’t until the arrival of Steve Rogers that the MCU took off.
His movies were more story than action. Captain America provided Marvel the opportunity to tell a story about a hero who came from nothing and became a savior.

It’s not that he will succumb to kryptonite, radiation, a stone being taken out of his head or relies on the guidance of machines to keep going. It’s his heart that’s his weakness. He cares. Maybe more than any other Avenger. Cap’s weakness it what makes him the best leader of the Avengers. If Bucky was not a part of the story, then Cap would just be another hero with strength. However, by adding the bond that Cap shares with Bucky, we were giving the best movie out of the MCU– Civil War.
In Infinity War, as each member was introduced, Marvel saved the best for last. When Vision and Scarlet Witch was cornered by Thano’s hit squad, they were left for dead, but one look into the distance provided a glimpse into the shadows and the audience went crazy. Not once did anyone applaud when Iron Man, Thor or Hulk were shown. But the minute Steve caught that sphere, the theatre erupted.
There Is No Avenger Better Than Captain America
If that wasn’t enough, name another Avenger, despite the history and issues who anyone can call on when they need help. As Iron Man said himself, he and Cap had a falling out but when he needed help, Stark pulled out the flip phone and was set to call Rogers for help. Who calls Iron Man when they’re in a jam?
The scene in Infinity War that stood out the most was just a few seconds, but the fight between Captain America and Thanos was the most intense of them all. When Thanos tried to crush Cap, you saw the shock on Thanos’ face as Captain America was able to counter his strength. Thor, Iron Man and not even the Hulk was able to do that. Although Thanos hit Cap with a right hook that knocked him out, Captain America made a strong statement with his stance.
Will Captain America survive Avengers 4 remains to be seen? But we do know just as Thanos fond out, that the leader of the Avengers will not go down without a fight.
