The recovery of Captain America In Marvel Comics, has already made major changes to the history of the hero. And after historical surveillance was called by fans, the publisher already changes one of the new captain’s logos in response.
As part of the new origin of Steve Rogers placing it in our modern era, the public was also presented to the heroes of “Captain America” style representing several new countries. Including Captain France, a French soldier bearing the national colors of his own European homeland.
The design of Captain France was revealed via the official design material of the artist of the Valero Schiti series. And almost immediately, French fans stressed that the hero’s main badge had sent a very different message from the one who was probably planned. The one that Marvel has now tackled, drastically.
Captain France has its logo changed in official marvel art
The history of the Lis flower is replaced by the people’s flag
After Schiti publishing the original conceptions on Instagram, the commentators quickly mentioned that, although the three -spike lis -fired thoracic insignia is unstunously recognizable as a French symbol, its history is more complicated. To be concise, the symbol is directly linked to the French monarchy and to the royal family.
Since this same tradition was exactly what the people of France resisted through the French Revolution, the presence of the symbol on a modern “captain of France” seemed to miss the desired meaning. With the clear intention of communicating the problem, and not simply to attack the artist for this cultural detail, Marvel and Schiti have corrected the problem.
Publishing new illustrations on Instagram, the Schiti update design transforms the symbol of the chest. Vagueness of the captain of France, replaced by the colors of the French flag in a hexagonal symbol roughly describing the borders of France.
This change of design of Captain France is the right call for Marvel Comics
The adjustment of the logo shows a commitment to this “symbol” for France
Although no official announcement has been made regarding the change of logo by Marvel, it seems that Schiti has resolved the question in a pleasantly surprising way (offering a new scheme of colors and thoracic badges that many will prefer compared to the original, whatever the cultural context).
The updates have been warmly received online, many sharing their appreciation for specifically adjustment, in a welcome change compared to the often loaded or negative criticisms with which new heroes and / or undoubtedly the “ignorant” characterizations are filled.
But in this case, the rapid correction of Schiti only emphasizes the motivations set out by Marvel and the writer Chip Zdarsky to give other nations a `Captain America ”. Of course, this honor being first granted to governments making up the United Nations Security Council, a controversy was inevitable.
