The new Captain America film came out on Valentine's Day, marking itself as the 35th installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Brave New World is the first Captain America movie starring Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, aka Captain America. The original superhero was played by Chris Evans until 2019's Avengers: Endgame. The movie had a lot going for it, coming three years post-Falcon and the Winter Soldier, as well as finally tying up loose ends regarding the celestial island in The Eternals. The film introduced new characters, delivered one-liners doomed to be recycled in later films and a large red monster destroying the White House. Overall, it was a film that I have seen 34 times before. Marvel's attempts at reviving the MCU post its peak in the 2010s continues to remain futile, forced to repeat itself unless they find a way to add uniqueness to each of their releases.
