I've always been a fan of Toy Story, so when Pixar made Lightyear, I was still looking forward to it. Interestingly, in this film, Buzz Lightyear is voiced by Captain America's character Chris Evans. When talking about Lightyear, Chris Evans was asked about the difference between Captain America and Buzz Lightyear, and he gave an interesting answer.
After Avengers 4, Chris Evans quit the role. Still, in the minds of many of us, he's still Captain America. Looking back at Chris Evans as Captain America, when I first met him, he was a thin young man, a thin and sickly young man. Later, he was injected with a super soldier serum and eventually took part in the war. Although the U.S. team was frozen in ice for a long time, he was able to lead the members of the Avengers and found his place in the Marvel Universe.
In fact, I think the role of Buzz Lightyear has a slight resemblance to the US team. Buzz Lightyear is an astronaut with a strong will and confidence. He wants to be a space ranger. In "Toy Story", his ideal is well reflected. Luckily, we can learn more about his story in Lightyear.
In a fan answer session, Chris Evans talked about the difference between Buzz Lightyear and team U.S. He said that while both roles are leaders in the team, their personalities and backgrounds are very different. Chris Evans noted that Captain America's origins were humble, and it took him some time to become a leader. However, Buzz Lightyear needs to maintain his leadership role because that's what he's always wanted.
Captain America and Buzz Lightyear are actually characters that I really like. In the first Captain America movie, Steve Rogers was a strong-willed man who gained more strength over time and gradually he became a leading role. The growth arc of the US team, I think is very happy. From a weak character, to a strong leader, to dancing with a lover. While the Marvel Universe has a new U.S. team, I think chris Evans still has room to come back whenever Marvel needs it.
Anyway, Buzz Lightyear and the U.S. team are actually difficult to compare, aren't they? Because Captain America has a deep history of comics, Buzz Lightyear mainly appears as a toy. And, Steve Rogers had to fight for what he believed. However, although the two characters are very different in personality and background. But both have very good partners, and they play a very important role in the team's films. If it were me, I think it would be a very happy thing to have them as friends.
