Another part of Besson’s point that doesn’t entirely make sense is his complaint specifically about America calling a film franchise Captain America.
Despite this, Besson believes Captain America to be nothing more than pro-U.S. propaganda.
I mean, which country in the world would have the guts to call a film Captain Brazil or Captain France?
Luc Besson thinks Captain America is “propaganda.” This isn’t the first time that he has railed against superhero movies, previously saying that he finds protagonists with superpowers hard to relate to, and stating his preference for more normal, flawed heroes.
