brave, not selfish, legitimate leader, prompt to sacrifice
The same can be said about <PERSON> aside from the not selfish part. He's brave, <PERSON>'s usually the first to face off against an enemy. He's a legitimate leader, he's actually the one who rallied the avengers to <PERSON>'s side in the first movie. He's also prompt to sacrifice. Remember who saved all of New York and all of the Avengers from a nuclear blast?
But more to your question. This version of <PERSON> isn't the same as his comic book counter-part. In the comics, <PERSON> is perfect, or as close to perfect as he can be. In the MCU, this isn't the case. Sure, <PERSON> is a very good human being, but he suffers from major flaws. He's extremely arrogant, almost on <PERSON>'s level from the movie Thor.
In the MCU, it's clear that <PERSON> considers himself better than every other human on the planet. Some of his lines from the Avengers shows that. "Big man in a suit of armor, take that off and what are you?" This line alone is incredibly insulting. He's not only telling <PERSON> that he's nothing without that suit of armor, but basically that anyone <PERSON> feels is beneath himself is nothing. It's the equivalent of saying something along the lines of "Oh, you never served your country or gave back to your community? You're beneath me."
Again, yes, <PERSON> is brave, heroic, and selfless, but these qualities aren't what make someone worthy. Remember, <PERSON> had those same qualities, as does Tony(aside from the selfless part). What made <PERSON> unworthy in the first <PERSON> movie was a combination a a few things. His arrogance, dude thought he was untouchable, better than everyone else on Asgard, and above the law due to his heritage. <PERSON> is almost just as arrogant. 190
<PERSON> also wasn't humble in the beginning. He never recognized others for assisting him, it was always his achievements, no one else's.
Cap is also extremely self righteous. Watch most of his arguments or confrontations with anyone in the movies. In his head, he's always right, it's his way or the high way and if you don't agree with him, you're wrong, end of story. This is evident by his guilt tripping of <PERSON> in CA:TFA. Yes, <PERSON> was trying to do his part to help the country, but he flat out made <PERSON> feel like shit for trying to dissuade him from enlisting.
<PERSON> was trying desperately to save <PERSON> from embarrassment, prison, and probable death. <PERSON> was being a good friend and even suggested other ways <PERSON> could help the war effort, something <PERSON> actually scoffed at(again, even before he went through the Super Soldier program, he thought he was above certain people and certain things). Like I said, he made <PERSON> feel horrible for trying to protect him, all because <PERSON> felt he was right and above working in a factory to produce supplies for the troops.
<PERSON>: "What do you want me to do, collect scrap metal in my little red wagon?" <PERSON>: "Yes!" <PERSON>: "I'm not going to go sit in a factory. <PERSON>, <PERSON>, come on, there are men laying down their lives. I got no right to do any less than them. That's what you don't understand, this isn't about me." <PERSON>: "Right. Because you got nothin to prove."
This dialogue clearly shows that <PERSON> doesn't believe that doing something like this is worth while. Sure, his words can be considered patriotic, but <PERSON> sees right through him. <PERSON>'s motivations to join the military are entirely self-centered. He feels he has to prove something to the whole world. He's basically saying, "You want me to join the women folk making weapons and shoes while all the men go out and fight? Phhp. please, I can fight just as well anyone else, just watch." In face, we can add a few more unworthy qualities based on this alone. Narcissistic, self-centered, sexist....I'm sure there are many more that can be added, but I think we're around a half dozen traits that would make MCU <PERSON> unworthy.
Now that I think about it, MCU Captain America is actually a douchebag, even more so than <PERSON> or <PERSON>. 86
