Part 4/8:
The show also brought attention to Anthony Mackie, who faced backlash for his statement about Captain America not needing to represent America. His remarks were interpreted variously, but the consensus among the hosts leaned toward the idea that it exhibited a misunderstanding of the character’s significance.
