10 Movies Weirdly Changed In Foreign Countries
4. Cap's Wishlist Changed In Multiple Countries - Captain America: The Winter Soldier
The individual changes made country-to-country regarding Captain America's to-do list is a fascinating insight into just what different nations regard as significant in the past century. Cap, you see, was frozen during WW2 at the end of the last film, only to awaken in present day. To catch up on the missed years, he keeps a notepad filled with historical events and pop culture zeitgeists he is recommended.
But the handwritten list was altered to be region-specific. Where Americans got their I Love Lucy reference, Russians were treated to a Yuri Gagarin name drop, while South Korea still loved Dance Dance Revolution.
But even some items on the list were moved due to their order of importance, with the Berlin Wall and Steve Jobs ranking differently depending where you lived.
It's especially strange for Captain America, he who embodies all of the can-do spirit of the western empire, to really want to know more about Russia's first cosmonaut. Sounds suspicious to me, almost like that notebook were being used to sway Cap's allegiances.
Perhaps that shocking twist in recent comics that he was a Hydra agent all along was more insidious than we thought.
