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.

He won’t be even before that, cap is strong enough to wield a chair with the ease of a sword, and pretty sure grabbing the metal plates and goblets and chucking them would end up embedded halfway through people’s heads. He throws a 50lb shield at over 40mph, he should hit a 200mph with a 2lb metal plate or goblet.

Based on his practice with thrown weapons, he could 100% be throwing to knock arrows out of the air and disable archers. He’s fast enough to catch arrows out of the air, much less pull matrix moves to dodge them.

On even ground, Cap has a solid shot at single handedly taking out Deanerys’ entire army of unsullied, plus the dragons, as long as there is some cover to survive the initial strafing run of flame. Solid chance of throwing a rock hard enough to break a wing bone and force each one to the ground.

Heck, he can run 70mph!

So the only way this is even a challenge is if cap doesn’t even get the like 3 seconds of warning from the music stopping, and immediately gets a few arrows in the back, he might be challenged trying to massacred everyone in the castle while already heavily wounded.

He's basically a Space Marine with a bit less durability. And I would definitely bet on an unarmed Space Marine to pulp the entire Red Wedding in less than 5 minutes.

Honorary shoutout to that one part in the new Space Marine Secret Level episode. So many things right, so many things so well done. The golden age of Warhammer media is finally upon us
