I've been waiting for this one! I hope you loved it even a fraction as much as I do! Now I can't wait until I get off work :)

The Winter Solider: The Winter Solider is a pretty recent character, first appearing in Captain America #6 (May 2005), revealing that Bucky was alive, depicting a grown-up version of the character. Bucky, of course, is not a new character, making his first appearance in Captain America Comics #1 (March 1941) alongside Captain America under Timely Comics. He was a teenage sidekick to Steve, similar to the dynamic of Batman and Robin, with Robin making his appearance a year before Bucky. Later, under Marvel Comics, we got The Avengers #4 (March 1964), a storyline in which The Avengers discovered Captain America frozen within the ice, bringing Captain America back under the Marvel era. It was established that Captain America and Bucky went missing near the end of World War II, revealing that Bucky was killed in an explosion after jumping onto a rocket/jet and pushing Cap to safety. Pre-2005 comics would highlight Bucky during WW2, but he was a dead character by all accounts until 2005 when we got The Winter Solider. Falcon: Falcon is an exciting superhero who first appeared in Captain America #117 (Sept. 1969) as Marvel's first African-American superhero. Black Panther is Marvel's first African Superhero, appearing in Fantastic Four #52 (July 1966) for comparison. You've no doubt heard of Black Panther thanks to the massive success of that film, along with the passing of the late Chadwick Boseman. Overall Thoughts: I enjoyed Winter Solider, recall watching through the whole MCU back in 2021 whenever Wandavision came out. The shocking twist that revealed Hydra was built within the formations of S.H.I.E.L.D. was unexpected. I also enjoyed seeing the return of Arnim Zola, a comic character who, post-WWII, could digitize and transfer his consciousness into a robotic body with a digital T.V. screen depicting his face. The film did this without the robot body, going for a retro monitor display. But I will say there are other MCU projects I prefer over Winter Solider, but I understand why it's many people's favourites. The Guardians of The Galaxy, for me, is my personal favourite MCU content if we don't include any shows and I'm so glad that Marvel was able to highlight a range of tones, themes, and stories across a range of movies, and later shows. So naturally it all depends on what you like and for me it's James Gunn's Guardians films.

I never noticed before, but I think the old-age makeup for Peggy was CGI. Her face seems to stutter independent of her eyes and mouth.

Edit: Damn, 2005 is nearly 20 years ago.... Well he's a recent character when put alongside the 80+ years of Marvel comics. I think my first introduction to him was in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (2006) just released a year after the character introduction. This game introduced me to so many Marvel characters beyond Spider-Man, and the X-Men.

I felt that way! but my screen recorder is also glitchy sometimes so I don't like to criticize CGI hahah

So glad you enjoyed this movie. It's the start of the Russo Bros. relationship with the MCU and they really put together some of the best MCU moments in future movies. You have Guardians next and you get to experience the pure joy of Chris Pratt and co. I'm envious that you have SO many amazing movies in the near future to revel in for the first time. Thor 2 may be a low point but there are lots of highs to come. Black Widow gets her own movie but it's some way off, but worth the wait for a kick-ass female lead MCU movie. The Guardians movies are a near perfect trilogy in my opinion. The world building and inter-connectivity only draws you closer to the characters, their relationships and in turn the risks they take for each other. I'm still super happy to be in the Patreon party here, love your content.

Hell yeah, what a good movie. Trust the MCU, all of your questions do get answered eventually, and the call backs keep coming. So sorry can’t say much about Fury eye. Yes, Russo brothers directed basically all the biggest movies in the MCU. Winter Solider clearly gave Marvel a lot of faith in them. It gave me a lot of hope for the MCU going forward. Now it is time for the my favourite origin story. Guardians of the Galaxy.

All I can say is if you liked this, just wait until Civil War.

The Dingo

You asked about the "Do you want to play a game?" movie reference to related to Saw, but it wasn't. It was actually a direct nod to War Games starring Mathew Broderick from the 80's. If you ever watch that movie, it will be super clear why this was a reference, but I don't want to spoil that if you haven't seen it before and plan to. (And you should see it.)

My Ex Boyfriend

Damn, I be happy about that. I guess they never found another non-MCU project to work on like they had talked about after completing End Game.

Mr. Reggie

Guardians of the Galaxy is ok. But you will enjoy the rest of the movies.
