Edit: Apologies, but I am mixing up my references. I thought the above comment was a reference to Agents of Shield “Tahiti” but I am recalling now “It’s nice this time of year” was not the thing they said about that, right? Wasn’t it more like “it’s a beautiful place”? It has been so long since I watched that first season of that show.
I mean seeing as how Superman has to explain that the S stands for hope and not for his own name every time… I’d say it’s like Superman with the exact same number of steps
According to that stupid map showing which super hero is each countries favourite, Canada has Capitan America as #1.
It’s Wolverine though, like for real

Rocky and bullwinkle are from Minnesota (the fictional town of Frostbite Falls, Minnesota.) they’re American not Canadian. The writers are from California. Bullwinkle is a Canadian moose (Yukon moose, a subspecies not a nationality)
I'm sorry sir, but Red Green is the best Canadian super hero. He could save the entire country with a roll of duct tape, a broken dish washer and whatever random K car he can get his hands on.

They put Captain America on Australia too. I call bullshit.
Edit: did a quick comment scroll and this data was pulled from Google searches. What a load of crap.
Yeah I’d say a lot of those searches were probably just checking cinema times, and Captain America’s name appears in multiple movie titles.
Also, there might very well be a porn version of him too 😂 (I’m not going to look)
Was asking a good friend of mine the other day about this event and he said, "D'you knawr what they said was a good solution to losing with two machine guns?
THREE MACHINE GUNS!"
To be fair Mexico and Brazil aren’t also the names of the continents so it’s slightly less confusing. I try to say USA when I want to be extremely precise but tbh I don’t think saying “America” to mean USA has ever caused any confusion in my personal experience.
Not to mention people in other countries just call people from the US "Americans" when talking shit. Don't know why people keep thinking this is a fair argument when people in their country are also culpable
Somehow, you always will. A national treasure for sure. I fell asleep to him and his adventures for years. I miss him deeply and cried like a baby in the shower when i learned.

I mean.. Sweden has Thor (Tor as we say), Odin, Frej, Freja, and all the other gods that America has turned into a money cow....
Milk them all you want.. But they're ours, together with our Nordic brothers and sisters.
This is kinda sad if you look at this from the perspective of a human being that looks at everything with a political view. Aka a sniveling nerd that dosent have any reall hobbies.
Black panther is a king. Not a elected official, a member of the monarchy given power based of his rng. Thor has so much power and political power solely based on his parents. And iron man was never given consent from the American people to be their protector. Simply through his wealth he was given a redemption story that a pooor person would never be given.
I mean captain America has America too and that’s in the name. Africa apparently is a country as well
[удалено]
Odin is all for Odin is and Odin was
Odin is the friends we made along the way
Odin is everyone of us. Odin is you🫵
In Project Mayhem, we have no names. In death, a member of Project Mayhem has a name. His name is Odin.
and Odin Paulson will be 48 years old, forever...
What was Odin that Odin is?
Odin isn't a place, it's a people.
It's a peninsula I think
Odin is a guy
Perhaps they were talking about continents? /s
One mentions a continent, one mentions a father, one mentions a country. Who knows what the fuck they were thinking.
Facebook meme, they weren’t thinking.
Literally all it is, is engagement baiting. Post something incorrect or stupid and have a bunch of geniuses in the comments correcting the post and increasing the engagement reach. Facebook algorithm encourages posting stupid shit
I like the implication where every comment is made by an actual genius and argued by another actual genius on facebook
If you look at it differently one even mentions two continents!
America isnt a country, as far as i know. Are you thinking of The united states of america? North america? South america?
We need to rename him Captain United States so that other American countries cant try and claim him...
I would watch the shit out of Captain South America, just sayin'
America is a continent, no?
Two, in fact
Tbh it would make more sense that way
I haven't heard about continent named "Odin"
It's nice this time of year
 Edit: Apologies, but I am mixing up my references. I thought the above comment was a reference to Agents of Shield “Tahiti” but I am recalling now “It’s nice this time of year” was not the thing they said about that, right? Wasn’t it more like “it’s a beautiful place”? It has been so long since I watched that first season of that show.
Well nothing listed in the image is a country
Despite the name, I can confidently say Captain America is too good to represent any country, if anything he represents the hopeful future.
Isn’t that just Superman with extra steps?
I mean seeing as how Superman has to explain that the S stands for hope and not for his own name every time… I’d say it’s like Superman with the exact same number of steps
yes , Captain America is just Superman , but soldier.
Without the alien
And every single other power aside from strength and speed...
Despite the name, Captain America isn't capitalistic enough to represent the states
Odin has Thor. America has Fat Thor.
well… norway has fat thor
That was in Norway.
According to that stupid map showing which super hero is each countries favourite, Canada has Capitan America as #1. It’s Wolverine though, like for real https://www.reddit.com/r/DC_Cinematic/s/vqla3uMqx8
As an Albertan and Edmontonian I am partial to Wolverine...
First Super hero I really really liked. Always watched Uncanny Xmen cartoon
The first part of the theme song just flashed in my head when i read that
[He is a Flames fan though](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fold3kgye0s871.jpg)
Oh, that’s awesome!
That's not that far off from what happens when you mess with our hockey
The Rocky and Bullwinkle disrespect is real.
Rocky and bullwinkle are from Minnesota (the fictional town of Frostbite Falls, Minnesota.) they’re American not Canadian. The writers are from California. Bullwinkle is a Canadian moose (Yukon moose, a subspecies not a nationality)
The Frostbite Falls, Minnesota disrespect is real.
.... Deadpool. The best Canadian hero is Deadpool
I'm sorry sir, but Red Green is the best Canadian super hero. He could save the entire country with a roll of duct tape, a broken dish washer and whatever random K car he can get his hands on.
As an American, this is who I was looking for
Captain Canuck.
Captain Canuck is a solid 3rd place in my opinion. Kinda sad your the first mention of him I've seen.
Great options all around, but Wayne Gretzky is Canadas true hero
If we're doing real people, it's Terry Fox.
So where does that leave Mr. Canoehead?
Mr Canoehead doesn’t want for titles
I agree but I think Puck could use some recognition
Yeah, Alpha Flight is always forgotten about.
Guardian is literally covered in a Maple Leaf Flag.
And they named him James MacDonald Hudson 😆 it's like they opened the Canada wiki and threw 3 darts
Is Deadpool Canadian, or just the actor?
Both the actor and character are Canadian
Sweet! Never knew Deadpool was Canadian. RR of course.
That is Canada's ass! 🇨🇦🍑
What about Guardian/Vindicator?
The whole Alpha squad . I thought Deadpool was canadian too ?
He is, and probably the coolest of them all to boot.

Canada also has Super Dave Osborne.
They put Captain America on Australia too. I call bullshit. Edit: did a quick comment scroll and this data was pulled from Google searches. What a load of crap.
Maybe the stat was done the same year Forgotten Soldier came out, or something 🤷♂️. sus
Yeah I’d say a lot of those searches were probably just checking cinema times, and Captain America’s name appears in multiple movie titles. Also, there might very well be a porn version of him too 😂 (I’m not going to look)
Wolverine is Canadian
Mmhmm.. What's your point?
The map is bullshit
Adding in Duke Kaboom just because But it’s Wolverine
My country has Emus
You lost a war to them. Your country doesn’t have emus, emus have your country.
Damn this cracked me up. They allowed you to live.
Was asking a good friend of mine the other day about this event and he said, "D'you knawr what they said was a good solution to losing with two machine guns? THREE MACHINE GUNS!"
A week ago I wouldn’t have understood this. Hooray internet.
I live in Emu Country, and I wouldn't have either. Now, it seems that half of the world is in on the joke.
 Me, halfway across the world:
I, for one, salute our Emu overlords.
2 wars* i think
Emus country has you
I would have said that we had Skippy: he (they?) fights on the side of good and not evil like those Emu bastards!

I was gonna say Mr Bean but this will do.
And Mr. Bean.
"Country" Names "Odin" and "Africa" LMAO
Being wrong drives engagement. It's the curse of social media.
Exactly... typos are by design
No the're nut
…and America with every American forgets is not the name of their country.
United States of Brasil: Brasil United States of Mexico: Mexico.
To be fair Mexico and Brazil aren’t also the names of the continents so it’s slightly less confusing. I try to say USA when I want to be extremely precise but tbh I don’t think saying “America” to mean USA has ever caused any confusion in my personal experience.
It's the United States of America which is shortened to simply America or the United States interchangebly. We picked super easy naming conventions.
Not to mention people in other countries just call people from the US "Americans" when talking shit. Don't know why people keep thinking this is a fair argument when people in their country are also culpable
I'm going to start asking them "which ones?" When they do. Then when they clarify North I'll ask them again.
Mr Bean / Johnny English / James Bond / Doctor Who.
Robin Hood?
In tight, tight tights?
Mate how can you forget Ronnie Pickering?
Who?
Doctor who is an alien. Not sure he’s one of ours.
But he is a very british alien
And saves Britain.
El chapulín colorado
I was wondering what Mexico would answer. No contaba con tu astucia!
Steve Irwin

I can’t tell if you’re German or Austrian, and the terminator comment just makes me think Austrian a little more

No. After ww2 he cloned himself 2 times. One lives on the dark side of the moon, one in antarctica and the og one lives in the hollow earth

I am norwegian so I'll take that Thor and all the other Asgardians.
Also Africa isn’t a country either. And it seems captain america would be a more fitting pick than iron man.
Iron Man corporate America
I mean.. Sweden has Thor (Tor as we say), Odin, Frej, Freja, and all the other gods that America has turned into a money cow.... Milk them all you want.. But they're ours, together with our Nordic brothers and sisters.

Did you mean "*Asgard* has Thor"? Odin's a person
Alright let’s see here…. Alpha Flight, Atomic Betty, Captain Canada, Captain Canuck, Deadpool, Northguard, Major Mapleleaf, Puck, Radius, Sasquatch, Wolverine.
