Reasons to Watch Captain America

With Captain America coming out in a movie finally, there are several reasons to go watch it, but there are two reasons that especially say why.

1. We all like the underdog and good guy winning.
    Everyone likes to cheer for the underdog to win. While Captain America certainly doesn't seem like an underdog, he certainly starts off as one before becoming a super soldier. Think Peter Parker before he became Spiderman. We also like seeing the good guys win. While heroes like Wolverine are cool and well liked, they tend not to be very morally upright, which is why they're rightly called anti-heroes. So whenever a hero comes along that is cool and is also very morally upright, it kinda encompasses everything we want to see.

2. We all like watching an American beat up on a Nazi/Communist
     This should go without saying. We always like watching America triumph time and time again when the movie is set in WW2. This is easily seen in video games as well. The Call of Duty series has always dealt with Nazis or Communists where other games that try to be a more realistic, like Medal of Honor, which deals with the Middle East and terrorists don't sell as well. Since Captain America is created in the WW2 setting, that means we will see plenty of action against Nazi's, specifically in Captain America's enemy, Red Skull.

And also a side benefit of this movie is in the fact that Captain America's entire outfit is the American flag. Where there has been a lot of anti-American feelings in the last few years, this movie could help reestablish some positive feelings. Of course this is assuming the movie does great and isn't a flop like other attempts at making super hero films have gone. But then again, this is post is just merely to rep this movie and tell people why they should see this movie like I know I will. I, like most of you, will have my fingers crossed that this movie will be as great as we expect it to be.

And remember, Don't Panic, and never forget your towel.
