Battle An unarmed Captain America (MCU) replaces Robb Stark at the Red Wedding - can he fight his way out?

Cap doesn't have his shield or suit, and he doesn't know that the betrayal is coming. The Freys are not aware of his upgraded abilities.

Can Cap fight his way out? Bonus points if he can keep Catelyn and Robb's wife safe. Double bonus points if he can kill Walder Frey and Roose Bolton.

Yes he could survive, easily I think, but I don’t think he’s saving anyone

There are like 7-8k Freys and Boltons at the Red Wedding, I think - many of them armed with crossbows. Surely someone stands a decent chance of tagging him and at least slowing him down?

Brynden Blackfish escaped and he was in his 50s (?). Cap makes it out easy, maybe saves one or two people.

Yes he was, he stepped out for a piss when the shft. At least he was in the show iirc

The show is poorly written shit and piss. In the books he stays at riverrun. Which makes sense because then you don't need to contrive a piss letting an old man survive a massive massacre.

Alright makes sense. Read the books as well but it's been so long

Yeah no worries. I forgot the show might have been different. Ive read the books enough times to know he wasn't there in them and only think of that.

I said I wasn't going to reread the books until Winds was announced. That was...a decade ago. It's difficult to keep the differences separate.

It's honestly better to just refer to the books at this point even being unfinished

He does escape Riverrun under siege in Dance though, which is about equivalent difficulty.
