6. Captain America Doesn’t Kneel

The Avengers

A lot of these moments are just perfect encapsulations of a character and this is another one of those.

Now, Captain America was pretty much perfect from the start of the MCU but because a whole lot of people didn't get super into the MCU until The Avengers so this was their introduction to the character. And the best introduction you could have would be the one we got.

As Loki is menacing Germany, Cap arrives on the scene, standing in front of a literal god and saying that he will not kneel. He doesn't like people who demand fealty. And he will always stand up to them, even if he's the only one doing it. And that's beautiful. Steve Rogers doesn't kneel to tyrants.

He punches them right in the face and keeps on going.
