I don’t get why so many people are chewing out Mr. America from the Mr. World competition for wearing a captain america outfit

r/

It’s cultural outfits. Bro wore a costume from a cultural medium the USA helped pioneer (superhero comics) but if you go online people would act like this guy personally wiped out a village or something

    I would expect nothing less from a man named Mr. America.

    God bless America, and god bless this man.

    Just feels a little infantile.

    As if he’s a boy who got to choose his outfit.

    Can’t say that a uniform from the civil war or a Ben Franklin costume would have been better, though.

    The US is pretty young, so maybe infantile is just honest. 😀

    Silly costume for silly contest.

    The English guy just wore a bowler hat. I’m more upset about that. There’s so much to choose from and he just wore a hat. Nothing really to do with England. And worst of all, the hat was a different colour to his suit.

    No expert here but captain America isn’t rooted in any reality. We didn’t have a captain America ancestor with super hero powers whereas a cowboy is rooted in our history and culture.

    The costume is for fun, people complaining don’t enjoy fun or happiness.

    First, I didn’t know this thing existed. Second, I just went and saw the event of the competition where they dressed up in their cultural outfits. The way it is presented almost makes it look like everyone is making a caricature of what it is like in their country. We don’t have so much traditional clothing here in the US, unless it is a business suit or tuxedo maybe? Or maybe dressed has someone from the revolutionary war, I am sure the Brits would love that.

    Anyway, who cares what he wears. He definitely need a few more super hero poses to go over the top, which he should be doing in this type of competition.

    What could be more american than pop culture commercialism?

    Honestly I can see the criticism. It’s so unispired to represent your country as a comic book character. If it was a super hero costume but an original creation I would be all for it but this? He’s just dressed as a product that belongs to a big corporation.
