Now, many people use the phrase "Captain Evidence." Where did this expression come from? Let's try to understand this difficult matter.
Hero
So, it would seem that it will take a very long time to delve into philosophy and logic to understand how the expression "Captain Evidence" came into the modern world. Where did it come from, you ask, waiting for long conversations on the topic of what is obvious to modern man. But no, we will not philosophize. Instead, let's plunge into the world .... superheroes!
The thing is that Captain Evidence, the pictures of which you can see, is a superhero of American comics. He does not give advice, but answers the questions posed. With all this adding at the end of the sentence "That's it!" The Captain's face is hidden by a mask, and the letter “O” flaunts on a black suit, which means “Evidence”. So, after it became clear who Captain Evidence is, where the expression came from, let's talk with you about what this comrade forgot in Russia.
Trouble came ...
But in America it’s not like in Russia. Americans have slightly different views on life and heroes. What is good for an American for a Russian can be completely absurd. After the question of whether Captain Evidence came from, was left behind, it is worth mentioning that this character personifies in Russia.
The thing is that the world is constantly and continuously evolving. But people surrounded by solid machines that do everything for them, for the most part are getting stupid. So there were Internet trolls. These are people who foolishly joke and offend other users. It was they who remade the meaning of the phrase "Captain Evidence." Where this character came from does not matter. The main thing is what it began to mean. Let's try to figure it out.
Warped meaning
Naturally, in Russia, many foreign things are redone and adapted "for the people." But here a superhero who helps different beginners, by the name of "Captain Evidence", whose pictures can be found everywhere and everywhere, has become a real laughing stock. Internet trolls decided to use it as an object for their mockery. So, the hero began to personify those people who say obvious things.
In fact, it may seem that there is nothing offensive in this phrase. True, if you hear it in your address (especially from modern schoolchildren who quickly absorb a new stream of stupid information), then you will probably be somewhat offended. In truth, Captain Evidence can be called a stupid person who says things that are already clear.
Modification
So, you know who Captain Evidence is, where the expression came from. It's time to talk with you about what modifications this expression has.
The thing is that in Russia, for many people, the "captain" is associated more with a military rank than with a superhero. So sometimes you can find some modified phrases that will have the same meaning as "Captain Evidence." What can you see / hear?
So, if on the Internet you saw the expression "Major Evidence" or "General Evidence", then you should not figure out what these phrases mean. The thing is that this is simply a Russian modification of the name of the American superhero.
In addition, Internet users can quite often use the phrase: "Thank you, cap!". This also applies to our Captain Evidence. In this way, people demonstrate that one or another answer is obvious / understandable. One way or another, if you were suddenly told something like “Thank you, Captain!”, You can be sure that it was better not to put your 5 cents in this or that conversation.
