When Wonder Woman and Captain America Challenge US Government Policy

Today sees the publication of Avengers #10/#700 and Wonder Woman #58, the first of G Willow Wilson and Cary Nord's run on the comic.

When Wonder Woman and Captain America Challenge US Government Policy

We mentioned how the comic would see 'Wonder Woman thrown into a war that's been built up with preserving treaties rather than any moral cause, and very much reminiscent of World War I – the setting for the first Wonder Woman movie. However, it is one that has been complicated and darkened by a more Black Earth Rising morality including human shields that makes Wonder Woman's perspective far more distinct. And not necessarily the right one. You, the reader, get to decide what for you, is a treaty too far.'

What is also notable is that this is delineated as very much a US government one, unable to make moral decisions, hamstrung be the deals with the devils they have done. With Wonder Woman as a non-American, freer to get down and dirty on the ground…

While over in Avengers, Captain America is having similar trouble. Though actually having America in his name makes his arguments a little disengenous…

This coming while they still have a Hydra version of Captain America locked up after he took over the entire country. I mean, there are suspicions and there are justified suspicions and there is 'a version of you just enslaved the whole country' rationale…

While in Captain America #5, also out today, the media is turning against him for just hanging out with Black Panther.

And in Avengers, the Wasp is now self-identifying as a foreign agent.

Truth, Justice and the Wakandan/Wonder Woman Way? Or course, there is a long history of both doing just this…

And with Captain America, if it's Wednesday he's probably opposing the US government and throwing away his shield over something… from the first Secret Empire, the second Secret Empire, the first Civil War, probably Not Brand Echhh if I look hard enough…

But aligning himself with a foreign power? That might be new. At least Hydra was an All-American Hydra…
