The representation of Captain America: Civil War
The representation of men in Captain America Civil War reinforces traditional gender stereotypes. The movie stars Chris Evans as Captain America who is the stereotypical male hero. He is smart,strong,fast and brave as seen in 1:06 into the trailer which is exactly what is expected of a typical superhero. Also in the trailer there are use of sidekicks who are black this is stereotypical as black actors are usually cast as sidekicks such as Samuel L. Jackson in Die Hard 3 this is seen 1:25 in the trailer. Also in superhero movies the hero usually always has a love interest although not shown in this trailer there where hints towards her in the last movie. There is also the other superhero stereotype which involves a women who is not a love interest of the protagonist but a really close friend of his this is shown 50 seconds into the movie. Last but not least one of the main plots in a superhero movie is the villain however Civil war doesn't really have a villain but rather it has the twist of two friend turning on each other as seen at 2:00 exactly.
