Being a die-hard Marvel fan, it hurts when Captain America is called anything but the most righteous man in the world. But it seems like they are the Marvel fans only who are calling out the Captain for being a hypocrite.

It all started on Reddit, where a user dropped a clip of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, in which Steve Rogers is chastising Nick Fury for holding back his real intentions behind gathering up all the Avengers. He talks of truth, justice, and principles, to Fury pointing out how he kept the Avengers in the dark.

Here’s the video:

And here’s how the user captioned the video:

“Here’s Cap complaining about Nick holding back secrets, bit hypocritical considering he went on to hold back the fact Bucky killed Tony’s parents from him?”

So that’s the real reason of calling Captain a hypocrite. In the backdrop of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he himself held back a secret from his friend and the fellow Avenger, Tony Stark. Despite knowing that Bucky Barnes killed Stark’s parents, he did not reveal it to him. Neither did the Iron Man know that Rogers knows who his parents’ killer was.

It seems like Steve Rogers couldn’t keep up with his own principles when it was the time to live up to them. But being a true Marvel fan, I’d rather say that his character grew over time as he understood by his own experiences why some things are better not told than calling him a hypocrite straightaway.

Of course, Tony Stark gets to know about the truth at the end of Captain America: Civil War and all hell broke loose after that. As expected there was formed a breach in the friendship of Captain America and Iron Man, the two most important members of the Avengers, and since then they haven’t come face to face. Iron Man even broke Captain America’s shield in anger.

In Avengers: Infinity War, both fought Thanos separately and their whole breach in the friendship thing has kept all the Marvel fans eagerly awaiting Avengers 4, whose trailer is expected to release tomorrow.

Fans have their own theories about whether Tony Stark will forgive Captain America or not. One thing is clear, fans are not taking Rogers’ hypocrisy lightly and are thrashing him on the internet for the same.

One thing is clear by all this, Captain America and Iron Man are going to be the center of attraction in Avengers 4.
