WARNING: The following article contains major spoilers for Wonder Woman 1984, now in theaters and on HBO Max.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America is one of the most upstanding heroes, and some could argue that Wonder Woman is the DC Extended Universe's equivalent for him. From their iconic imagery to their bravery and heroism, these two are very similar, and in Diana's latest film, Wonder Woman 1984, one of Captain America's most iconic MCU line is said almost verbatim; however, Diana isn't the one saying it. Instead, one of Wonder Woman's antagonists, Barbara Minerva, twists Steve Rogers' words, as she becomes drunk on power.

In 1984, Minerva is heavily reimagined from her comic book persona. When she's first introduced, she's a timid woman who's often ignored. While most people ignore her, there is a scene of Minerva walking home at night and a man catcalling her. This escalates, and the man physically harasses her, but Diana intervenes before thing go any farther. This scene also leads to Minerva admiring Diana even more.

Using the Dreamstone, Minerva unwittingly wishes to become more like Diana, which makes her far more confident and gives her Wonder Woman's powers. She begins reveling in this new power to an unhealthy degree, with her once kind demeanor becoming far more savage and vengeful.

Eventually, she encounters the man who harassed her again. At first she toys with him until he remembers who she is. Once he does, Minerva kicks him into submission. As she beats up the man, she remarks, "I could do this all night," and it appears she would've if she hadn't been caught by the homeless man she befriended earlier on.

The line is very similar to Captain America's motto, but the context differs. In Captain America: The First Avenger, a pre-super soldier Rogers is beaten up by a man in a back alley. Despite his opponent's obvious upper hand, Rogers gets back up and states, "I can do this all day," choosing to keep fighting, despite the odds not being in his favor.

Later, when the Red Skull gives him a similar beating, the line's repeated. In both cases, this showcases Captain America's unyielding heroism. The line is spoken by the hero two more times in the MCU, and each time he's typically facing insurmountable odds; however, Minerva says her iteration of the line when it's clear she's got the upper hand.

Whereas Roger's use of his line illustrates his heroism and hatred of bullies, Minerva's line showcases her descent into sadism and villainy. In fact, Minerva is like a Captain America who's lost her moral compass. Both start off as underdogs who eventually experience transformations that make them physically stronger; however, Rogers was chosen to be a super soldier because of his selflessness and bravery. While Captain America maintains these characteristics, Minerva loses her compassion and lashes out at the world. These lines encapsulate how different the two are, despite their initial similarities.

Directed and co-written by Patty Jenkins, Wonder Woman 1984 stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal and Natasha Rothwell. The film is now available in theaters and on HBO Max.
