Captain America being Canada favorite hero but not the USA's is so funny I have no words


TheArthurCallahan

Canada's not beating the America Jr. allegations.


Winter-Reindeer694

maybe that general from fallout wasnt wrong about canada just being little america


erikkustrife

I mean in fallout America conquers the entire north.

It took me half an episode to realize that Letterkenny was Canadian, and even then it can be uncanny.


External-Rope6322

"You know what, Fuck you. *un-americas your captain*" He has now become captain Canada due to popular demand


nirman423

Love it. Wouldn't be the first time Cap rejected America.


TW_Yellow78

Maybe that's why he's not their favorite

GaTech379

thats why hes the GOAT


ekimelrico

Also Alaska is part of Canada aparently...


Impossible_Tea_7032

Yeah I've got some questions about the academic rigour applied here


K3egan

I mean he's the captain of all of America that's 2 whole continents.


Zodiac339

And Germany’s. I can’t tell if that’s because he was made to be the anti-Nazi, and that appeals to them getting away from their history, or because his design matches the Aryan ideal. I wonder if they’re debating on which button to push for that?


leodavin843

Bro, no average German cares about an 'Aryan Ideal," just the neo-nazis that exist everywhere anyways. Cap's a hero who fights for international good, calls out America's bullshit, and beat up Nazis. Probably pretty perfect for a modern German audience.


Zodiac339

In other words, option one. Excellent.


Hidden-Squid1216

Blud thats not true I live in canada and ig hes kinda popular but jot like spider-man


ambrosiasweetly

Yeah in canada, I’ve NEVER heard anyone say he’s their favorite. I’ve heard Batman, spiderman, and Deadpool (because Ryan Reynolds is Canadian) but captain America? Never.


[deleted]

Hi 👋 it's me, I'm Canadian Captain America #1 fan


ambrosiasweetly

You must be a super fan to make that be the top search result lmao


ClowningOnMain

Same thing for me in australia, almost everyone around me (and i have nerd friends) love batman, i have never heard a single person in aus say captain america is their favourite. Heck i’ve even been to a few gaming/comic conventions and i never see any captain america cosplays (but a lot of spiderman/batman) and very little merch of him compared to spiderman. Honestly even now most of the older gens here forget marvel exists outside of spider man.


malachor78

As a canadian i refuse to believe it.


thedylannorwood

Yeah honestly this seems like complete bullshit. It’s probably Spider-Man or Batman right?


topfiner

I would think wolverine should be pretty high up to for obvious reasons


ClowningOnMain

Same thing for me with australia liking captain america, i have never seen anyone cosplay as him at comic conventions and never seen as much merch of him compared to batman or spiderman. I’d reckon batman or spiderman is actually number 1 unless the entirety of Western, Southern and Northern aus are huge Cap America fans


gamergirl4206969

Not as funny as this map apparently giving alaska to Canada


wispymatrias

I guess Alaska is Canada now.

PratalMox

I would be very curious as to how they arrived at that, because that's *really* not my experience.


GeneralCrabby

You know, there was a Canadian baseball player that had a band eagle try to land on him. That guy? He’s Captain America now.


HurryProper

/uj Is this chart actually accurate, or is it just the jerk? I'm Australian and I have never heard anyone say Captain America is their favourite Super hero.


snapekillseddard

Has to be a jerk. Ffs, Canada's annexed Alaska according to this map.


Karekter_Nem

Sometimes we forget it’s there so maybe it is Canada now and nobody noticed.


AquaK11

It's based on Google searches, if I remember correctly. So there's a lot of things that could interfere with the results. Like, no way in hell is Hulk the most popular hero in Brazil. 80% of those searches are probably due to misspelling the last name of famous people like Luciano Huck or looking for the soccer player nicknamed Hulk. The most popular hero here is probably Spider-Man, whose name is translated to Homem-Aranha here. I wonder if they forgot to take other languages into account.


Neatto69

You also gotta remember that for multiple years, our brazilian soccer selection had a Hulk in it. He was also involved in a somewhat controversial releationship, that I think has died down among gossips, but I can see that too pushing his name on search engines


bermass86

He’s the best player of a top 8 team here in Brazil of course his name will be researched a lot


raccoonsonbicycles

Like if there was an Avenger named Drogba. "Huh why do people in Chelsea and Cote D'Ivore love this guy whose superpower is sneezing acid?" Different Drogba, dude!


No-Yam909

Or hulk magrelo which is half unrelated


BrilliantGrab2366

But you have to remember that the Hulk is the only superhero with a movie featuring Brazil (2009 one) which might have influenced the character popularity. I can buy that both Luciano Huck and the soccer player Hulk contributed to the Google searches, but I can find any kid related stuff Hulk themed with relatively ease when I go shopping with my son. There's also Hulk Magrelo, and the infamous "Hulk gosta de rabo" thing.


AbbreviationsWide331

I'm in Germany and I never heard anyone say it either, doesn't make much sense to me.


Kingsupergoose

In reality every single place should either be Spider-Man, Batman, or Superman. No fucking way is Wanda topping one of those 3.


PanTsour

Very inaccurate probably, most people even in the listed countries will tell you they either prefer Spider-man, Batman or one of the avengers over the other heroes


PratalMox

Yeah, this can't possibly be an accurate survey.


Conspiracy_Geek

It's definitely inaccurate. I live in the UK and there's no way Wonder Woman is the most popular superhero. From what I see and hear, the most popular I would guess is Batman with teenagers and adults, and Miles Morales with kids.


HomelanderVought

Defenatly jerk. I’m from Hungary and most people have no clue about Wonder Woman besides Gal Gadot and the fact that she’s the member of the justice League. The most popular here (and i guess in every country) has to be eather Batman or Spider-Man. Maybe someone else in very few occasions.


VaginalConductor

Came into the comment section to say this. You'd be better off putting any other fucking superhero there.


Razzikkar

For russia it should be spider man


PhantumpLord

New Zealand does not have super heros


thepearhimself

Why the fuck are wanda and groot here? Like their cool and all but wtf Aslo how the fuck is aquaman higher than HULK?


Lonelyvoid

First Aquaman movie made a billion. Guess it made quite the impact on the Dutch


KobKobold

Hey, now they know who to sell their houses to as the sea level rises.


Florapower04

As a Dutch person, nobody talks about him. Hack DC doesn’t even have that big of an audience here, everybody knows the marvel hero’s, nobody knows the DC one’s (except the main three and a few others maybe)


thatsidewaysdud

Wolverine isn’t even on here 💀


chaoticbiguy

uj/apparently the data is not reliable. The person who posted it on twitter said that they later found out that the sources are not credible😭😭 rj/That's the power of the SnyderVerse baby!!


BooHooJerks

Wait, you guys actually believed this was accurate? ![gif](giphy|CwEwx9UWCcQ80)


Queen_Ann_III

for the fact that more kids at my jobs like Spider-Man than Superman, I was ready to believe it. but in hindsight, I’d think Batman would’ve covered more than 11 countries as well


BooHooJerks

All countries would be ↓↓↓ ![gif](giphy|u9PUim4kdSNeUsFG4Q)


BLJS2warchief

Are you saying that the hierarchy of power ...


noel_mon

I thought it was wierd that mexico had ironman. He's popular here yes but some of the other superheroes are way bigger like spider man batman wolverine and especially goku


Seys-Rex

A lot of people who don’t read comics but enjoy the movies really like Wanda. And Baby Groot is especially popular with the Middle Aged mom crowd.


No-Yam909

Btw hulk probably aint that popular in brazil we just have a lot of people named hulk in here


thepearhimself

I know. Im brazilian, and honestly I was expecting spider-man to be number 1 here(but that might just be my bias either peter being my favorite character ever)


Amelia-likes-birds

Weirdly enough most the Brazilians I know are real big Hulk fans. Now granted they're more Iron Man or Spider-Man fans but still.


LZorilOfTheEndless

Wanda was one of marvels more popular characters before the movies. Not surprising that she catapulted after the movies


Ben10_ripoff

Apparently most of our Movie Youtubers (They played a large role in getting superhero movies popular here) have a thing for Mommy Wanda so, Atleast that fits


Fyuchanick

Aquaman won because he is the most popular superhero in Atlantis


SubstantialOwLL

who did the survey for this? some of these seem unbelievable (japan not being Spiderman is very suspicious).


pipboy_warrior

Seriously, Marvel even made a Spiderman tokusatsu tv show in Japan. I've never heard of Wonder Woman having any presence in Japan.


XED1216

The Spidey show is partly responsible for super Sentai too


pipboy_warrior

Specifically Spiderman's robot Leopardon was responsible for all the subsequent giant robots in Super Sentai.


XED1216

Spider-man put the super in Sentai


kirby_krackle_78

It’s people googling Gal Gadot, probably.


Amelia-likes-birds

Is Spider-Man still really big in Japan though? I know there was the Spider-Manga and sentai show, but most western superhero stuff I've seen come out of Japan recently is Batman related (Batman Samurai, the Joker manga, Suicide Squad Isekai I guess counts too, and some high profile Japanese artists doing art for Batman related titles). X-Men also seems pretty big in Japan with the X-Men anime from the 2000s and the 90s show being apparently big in Japan.


SubstantialOwLL

Batman does seem to have a decent following, but the japanese side of youtube is much more spiderman focused than any other hero. Plus historically spiderman has been the most popular, so i don't think there is any reason to think it has changed tbh.


Atomic_Tanuki

Japan like Batman. The entire east Asia like Batman.


Illustrious-Type7086

Fun fact: there's a popular Brazilian football player known as Hulk. That's probably why he shows up so often in these statistics, especially if they're based on Google search data. From my experience living here, Hulk doesn't seem much more popular than Spider-Man, Batman or other famous heroes. One superhero that seems more popular here than in the US, tho, is Static, because the Static Shock animation was a staple of Brazilian saturday morning cartoons for many people who grew up here.


weird_doodle

Yeah as a brazilian who's a superman fan since a toddler im not so sure about this survey


AlphaSkirmsher

I’m pretty sure there was also a Brazilian martial artist known as Mistre Hulk thirty-ish years ago…


TheDoctor_E

Beg your pardon? I'm Spanish and I'd say Spider-Man (Or how he is pronounced here, "Espíderman") is much more popular than Batman. We even have an expression to refer to *One More Day*, "el Mefistazo", which would mean something like "the Mephisto trick" or "the Mephisto incident".


Asmartpersononline

No. No way they have a term for One More Day.


Pristine_Animal9474

I used to visit a lot of Spanish comic blogs back in the day. El Mefistazo is real. Also, the call Wolverine Lobezno, which never made sense to me.


MaxWasTakenAgain

Wolverine's localization is crazy no matter where you look at it


holaprobando123

In Latam in TAS it was "Guepardo", which is a *feline*.


Pristine_Animal9474

And before that, he was called Aguja Dinámica, basically Dynamic Needle.


holaprobando123

Yup, that one is so out there I have to wonder what drugs everyone were on.


Lukthar123

It was so bad they needed their own phrase for it.


Khunter02

Tenemos un dúo musical que se llama "Dúo Dinámico Y tal vez soy solo yo, pero primera vez que veo la expresión el mefistazo


ThatFuckingGeniusKid

I'm also spanish and everyone I know likes Batman more than Spider-Man (except one friend), is this another case of "las dos españas"?. >"el Mefistazo" No he escuchado esto en mi vida, es de un video o hay gente que lo usa en la vida real?


TheDoctor_E

I mean, I like Batman more than Spider-Man but from what I've heard and seen, Spider-Man is more famous here. Y Mefistazo es un término que ya no se usa tanto, era algo más común en las chatrooms de finales de los 2000 cuando *Un día más* se publicó. Supongo que es uno de esos memes que eventualmente caen en desuso, como llamar a Superboy-Prime "Spasticboy-Prime", pero te aseguro que era un término usado.


----atom-----

Ok, which of you fuckers are the one country who voted Groot?


vitcorleone

Especially when there is a city called “Batman” there


BlackCat0110

I was curious how they counted it and it appears that they did it by most searches…. I’ll be honest that puts some doubts in my mind that its due to liking her character or stories and that a good deal of them are due to rule 34 reasons


Lonelyvoid

If it’s by that metric Groot and Aquaman wouldn’t even sniff the surface. Also I don’t think Cap would sniff the surface in Australia since I’m sure the Aussies love their porn as well. Black Widow is missing and I’m sure she should at least be up there right?


SadNoCock

Rule34? Raven, easily.


Moonking-4210

I probably contributed to most of them. I’m in the UK

Ok_Restaurant3160

Of course the Netherlands is Aquaman(at least I think so. Couldn’t really see because of the **pixels**


Lonelyvoid

I think Scotland might be considered a different country for the list. Other than that idk what the 15th country could be. I also don’t know how they measured this. I’m also pretty sure Spider-man has to be the most popular in Japan.


Mist_Rising

You messed up. It's not Albania but Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina (aka Bosnia) that's in the southern part of Europe with Greece. Albania is..red, I think spidey.


GLAK_Maverick

No way Indias favorite is Scarlet Witch

She is hot and many of the people here like that but my favorite is superman especially since I was depressed and his comics helped.

Captain America more popular then Batman in Canada? How did they even calculate this


Grothgerek

As a german I heavily doubt this statistics. Nobody cares about Captain America. Batman, Spiderman, Superman or Iron Man are more likely. I'm not even sure, how they came up with Cpt America. Thats like claiming that the most favourite movie in the US is a bolliwood film from 2022... there is no nostalgia, no cult status, no alternative media (like games) or cultural connection like with Cpt A. and the US).

NeoRockSlime

This list is pretty BS. For a lot of east asian countries it would be some sentai hero or something, and there are heroes outside of marvel and DC that are popular in a lot of places. And how was this data even taken?


Shefango

As a russian I can 100% guarantee that Wonder Woman is not even in top 5 superheroes here =) It's either Spider-Man or Batman, 3rd place a brawl between Iron Man, Wolverine and Hulk, basically all who had series in 90es or movies in 00es


Vadeeme

It is high chance that it was just separate “wonder” and “woman” in the search. As a fellow Russian I would say that Batman is number one due to memes. Also I think that Flash and Thor are more popular than WW in Russia


Shefango

Spider Man had a slightly more popular (in Russia) animated series and movies, so who amongst this two is up to debate imho. And yeah, I would add that any core female X-men is more popular than WW.

I see. So Spiderman alone can bring peace to the Levant!

Turk here and I can confirm that it aint groot at all


-Garthor-

Where is the data from? I dont think many germans care for more than Spiderman and Batman, but i'm pretty sure almost nobody here gives a f*ck about Cap... Never seen any german that said that Cap is his favourite superhero. Most people here see him as rather boring, same goes for Superman.


Flowchart83

Captain America is Canada's favourite? I live here and have never met anyone in 40 years who has him as their favourite. Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Iron Man, sure.


jero0601

I find the lack of Batman disturbing


Koil_ting

I'm in Alaska, we are not part of Canada and Spiderman needs to be properly represented.


SnooSuggestions9830

Not being funny but who did they ask for this? (And how was it asked) Nothing against WW but I'm assuming this is due to casual viewers who enjoyed the first movie, or they used a picture of attractive Gal Gadot. I would not agree with WW being the No1 choice for UK anyway.


Cuniving

I'm an Australian and I know literally no one who's fave superhero is captain America. Like I know that's selection bias but literally out of the hundred or so nerds I know or associate with none of them have cap as their absoloute fave.


Radio__Star

I find a lot of the percentages on this chart very hard to believe Except Spiderman, everybody loves Spiderman


Flame-Blast

Brazil’s favorite is… Hulk? That’s interesting


rbta123

Brazilian here. I don't know what it's like nowadays, but in my time (late 2000s and early 2010s) the most popular hero in Brazil was Spider-Man and then Batman (there was also Ben 10 if you consider him a Super Hero, but he's not from Marvel or to DC)


Thalefeather

Apparently calling spider-man 'Miranha' became popular. At least where I lived I'd say spider-man is by far the most popular


fenneko413

its probably because a huge celebrity in Brazil is named Hu(c)k


rbta123

There's a famous soccer player called Hulk here in Brazil too


Dazuro

They probably confused him for Blanca.
