A new video compilation counts every time Steve Rogers wouldn’t make his debut in live-action form until the late ‘70s in a pair of CBS TV movies starring Reb Brown.
After that somewhat inauspicious debut, the character would next get a major live-action treatment in a notoriously bad 1990 movie starring famed author J.D. Salinger’s son Matt Salinger as the titular Captain America. Of course, the 2000s saw the arrival of a new wave of movies based on Avengers: Endgame, which saw Evans presumably hanging up his shield.
A new video compilation from YouTuber MCU’s Captain America, namely Captain America’s ability to take a punch. Indeed, as the clip shows, Rogers’ jaw endures a lot of punishment across the course of the character’s many appearances in a decade’s worth of films. See the video in the space below:
Unsurprisingly, the majority of the punches received by Captain America come from Captain Marvel-like montage of Rogers getting up off the ground after being repeatedly knocked down, a nice tribute to the character’s resilience.
Thankfully for Rogers, his character did finally get some peace at the climax of Endgame, as he gave up Captain America’s shield and went back in time to find happiness with long-lost love Peggy Carter. Goodness knows, Rogers took enough of a beating over the years to deserve such a reward. If nothing else, the Captain America punch compilation demonstrates how much of the action in the MCU really is just people punching each other. Thankfully, other elements of the movies, like the dialog, have generally been cleverer than that over the years.
