Why do some people think Captain America 2 is the pinnacle of Marvel right now?

Because this movie has changed the audience's bad impression of the hero Captain America.

When I watched Avengers, I always had the same feeling: Iron Man, in his cool steel suit, can fly, has money, has a high IQ, is a genius, is funny, and is very romantic. Hulk, powerful in transformation, invulnerability, invulnerability, genius scientist. He has the strongest body and the strongest intellect, but he is introverted and inarticulate. Thor is a god, the finest race in the universe, with a powerful hammer. Silver armor, red cape, blonde hair, although this outfit does not meet my aesthetic, but I feel a kind of crazy chic. Hawkeye, good archery, cool styling. Black Widow, she's pretty, she can hit, she's a spy, she can do anything. It's fair to say that all the members of the Avengers have endearingly attractive characteristics: they're either good-looking, super-capable, super-talented, cool, or smart. Except for Captain America. Captain America's performance in Endgame 1 is really bad compared to other heroes. His appearance is awkward: Captain America is good-looking, but in Endgame 1 he has an ugly uniform, and he always wears that uniform. Especially the headgear. Let me show you two pictures, just to give you a sense. His abilities are also awkward: 1. He can fight a little bit, but not as much as Thor and the Hulk; 2. A little smart, but no super geniuses like Iron Man and Hulk; 3 can't fly, and the action fights are not as distinctive or handsome as the Hawk-eyed Black Widow. His character is the most awkward: rigid, do not understand the flexible, too stubborn; Compared to the personalities of the other Avengers members, people are not interesting or likeable at all. It's fair to say that in Endgame 1, Cap wasn't a failure, but it was really unlovable. I even hated Captain America a little bit when I saw the movie. After all, Captain America is not strong in combat but always stubbornly pointing at others and quarreling with his teammates. But! But! But! That's all changed in Cap 2. Captain America's uniform has been modified to look better. The dark blue stealth suit is really cool. And Cap takes off that stupid hood most of the time. Captain America's handsome face kept showing. And Captain America in street clothes. Really, I don't have the words to describe it other than handsome. Captain America's powers haven't changed, they haven't been enhanced, but the director has been smart enough to make the movie an action movie with spy elements. The action is crisp, the punch to the flesh. All kinds of fighting, punching, kicking, wrestling, grappling. Turning daggers, throwing shields, pleasing to the eye. This allows you to enhance Captain America without changing his Settings. The opening scene shows off the strength of Captain America: he lands without a parachute, falls unscathed, and enters the water without diving gear. Powerful, one kick people out of more than ten meters. Leadership, directing a task force to rescue hostages. Everything was under control. Captain America had it all figured out. Captain America 2 redefines Captain America's abilities with a single opening sequence: outstanding fighting skills, extraordinary physical strength, and exceptional leadership. To make people forget about that stupid Captain in Avengers 1. Then there is the character of Captain America. Without changing the character setting of Captain America, the director presents the character of Captain America in a cooler and more convincing way: Captain America does not change, but the world does. Captain America created S.H.I.E.L.D., and Captain America destroyed Hydra. But S.H.I.E.L.D., which stands for good, has spawned an evil Hydra. Where there is light, there is shadow. When the director of Shield Bureau said to save Shield Bureau, the United States team "stubborn" said: we will not save what, Shield Bureau and Hydra to destroy together. You're going to do what's called divided governance, but how many people are going to die before you figure out who the enemy is? Captain America's "stubbornness" and "rigidity" are his most precious things in this confusing era. His "boring" is "reliable" when it matters. It can be said that the film Captain America 2 has completely changed the image of Captain America. From appearance, ability, character, all aspects of change. Make Captain America a new hero. The Russo brothers are the real deal.
