He's not douchey!
Maybe she was thinking of Chris Evans in Fantastic Four?
Now that was douchey.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Yeah, we couldn't understand how you could get douchey from either Cap 1 or Avengers. Thankfully, Cap 2 made her see the light.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't understand what's in Cap 2 that would change someone's mind. His character seems pretty consistent across his appearances.
But I, you know, people can be pretty shameful about "misgiagnosing" certain actors, Chris Evans in particular, with I-didn't-see-the-performance-so-it-can't-happen.
Is it because he was just a brilliant douche?

Having seen Snowpiercer (and with his Sunshine role in the back of my head) I'm going on record that Chris Evans is not a douche. Haven't seen either CAs but I liked him as Cap in Avengers.

Going back over her argument, it seems she was using "douche" as a general term for "someone's behavior/attitude that I don't like" rather than the more common definition of jerk/scumbag/sleezy. Based on what she was saying, the term she was actually going for was "self-righteous prick". Of course, I disagree with that assessment as well.

Did Chris do a bunch of fratty movies? I know the description matches Johnny Storm, but even the romcom I can remember him in he wasn't a self-righteous prick. I'm assuming these people didn't watch Push or Sunshine--what else was his rep riding on, if anything?

I have not seen that. Worth looking at?

This person's issue was with Cap specifically rather than Chris Evans or his portrayal. I have no idea if she saw Evans in any other movies that would have influenced her impression. (Though if you're looking for a douche role for him, Lucas Lee certainly qualifies.)
