Captain America: The First Avenger-Agent Carter(3/11)

[@halfbee7886]

I love the fact that when the dummy grenade was launched, Peggy was also running towards it, probably to do the same thing as Steve, but Steve was faster (or closer to the grenade) so he was the one to cover it. It shows that both Peggy and Steve had a heart of steel and ready to sacrifice themselves for the right purpose. I didn’t notice this detail before, but now I see it and can respect how much attention the filmmakers paid to this movie.

[@TomHill-xh7ec]

Good catch. I hadn't noticed that before. It's something I want to believe I would do in the right situation.

[@ash5900]

That's why I love agent Carter she loved Steve before he changwd she didn't look down at him when he was short and scrawny instead she fell in love with the real Steve

a person's willingness to sacrifice themselves for the safety of others - whether soldier, sailor, flyboy, astronaut, police, fire, EMT - i've seen the training grenade scene dozens of times, but I still tear up every single time because it brings to mind all those men and women who have been out there fighting for life, freedom, and the "right thing".

[@asilvap]

There are very few who believe in that. Majority of them just don't know what to do after HS. I mean in the military.

[@samuraijackson241]

Some people join the military partly because it's mandatory, partly because it's their only choice to continue living. A lot of times, they don't even know what they are actually fighting for. It's like chess, while the government act as the king, the soldiers are like pawns. Of course thais is just my thoughts.

[@jasonstarr6419]

@@samuraijackson241Total agreement here, friend. I spent years trying to figure out Who Am I and What Am I Supposed to Do With My Life? At age 71, I'm hoping I have it right at long last. But, who knows? Tomorrow might bring a better or more suitable answer. Digression: My ex knew from the time she was a little girl that she wanted to do what her mother was doing, which was working in Medical Records. While the ex went through three or four various aspects of being in Medical Records, her entire life from four years in college to the next 50 years have all been in that field in one way or another. I, on the other hand, have a curriculum vitae about an inch thick from all the different career choices I've made. Sad part is, as a young child, I wanted to be career military. But once puberty hit? All bets were off. Did couple of years of ROTC and nearly signed up for Naval Reserve Aviation Corp (NAVROC), and did everything but sign on the dotted line. But, with the world going crazy, who knows - my chance to be in the military might not be gone forever just yet.

[@TJVBernal]

what the doctor didn't explain to the commanding officer is that, if the person that takes the serum isn't ACTUALLY NICE... they'd have another red skull on their hands

[@ShahzadAshrafi]

Since the serum was enhancing every aspect of the body, it would naturally enhance the niceness, creativity and brevity in the said person or the other way around if the person is a bully..

The TV series, “Agent Carter,” was by far the best thing on TV: great acting, music, 1940’s period setting, and, of course, Hayley. Naturally, it was cancelled after two seasons.

[@joycechacko8207]

I loved the first season. The writing in the second season wasn't as great. Hayley was great, though. I would have loved to watch a third season if the writing was as good as the first one.

[@l.tc.5032]

Indeed! What would have been best was if Rogers got the flag, handed it to the DS and fell back in line ready to continue the run. It would have demonstrated that not only did he have brains but he had the fortitude to continue on.

[@ottokarl5427]

"So we have this serum that gives a man strength and agility beyond human boundaries, who is the perfect candidate to give it to?" Most people in the army: "Give it to a guy that is already strong and fast, even though he has zero other qualities and a mean streak, that will work!"

[@DillxCorleone]

@ottokarl5427 if the serum can make the skinny guy be Captain America, how strong could an actual strong soldier become? Rogers was still the better choice of course, because of his other qualities, but it's not like it's non-sense to give the serum to the stronger soldier.

[@gojonissan5567]

facts brother

[@RowdyBrian17]

They stopped making movies for comic book fans. That's the issue.

[@Josh-99]

@@RowdyBrian17 The movies were never for comic book fans. They were aggressively focus group-tested to ensure they would appeal to the broadest audience possible, with a lot of the comic book norms and tropes cast aside or held up as one-off to joke about or ridicule. Which is a good thing. American comic books have gotten stale (Japanese Manga has this same problem), and the focus on characters, specifically their struggles, shortcomings, and failures, made for better movies. It also helped move the comic book industry forward, as authors realized that audiences and, by extension, readers could enjoy characters and plot with more depth and nuance.

[@Avarn388]

@@Josh-99 It also helps that this movie reminds us why characterization is so important. Namely what drives someone in being a hero. We know Steve is a good guy. We’ve seen plenty of “save the cat” moments with him standing up to bullies, volunteering because he wants to stop evildoers, and brilliantly the Grenade scene, proving Erskine’s point. It’s all so effective and clear in getting the audience to want to root for the guy. You can’t do this with a lot of the “modern” MCU characters because they are written by individuals who believe the audience will already like the characters. Forget the “woke” identity politics stuff, these writers are lazy in believing because they are heroes folks will love them. Not realizing it’s the “virtues” they demonstrate. Cap is justice. Which makes sense.

[@volofant]

The doctor's words are proven more true in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. A physically fit soldier took the serum but he isn't as good-hearted as Steve (until the end of the series, that is.)

Carter was going to jump on that grenade also. Rodgers just got there first. I think.

Here we see Steve demonstrating the quality that he believed Tony didn't have at all In Avengers. That he is not the guy to make the sacrifice play... to lay down on the wire while the other guy crawls all over him. But Steve here was a loser with no wife, no children and basically with no life. Tony on the other hand had it all, and yet he made the sacrifice without hesitation. Tony was a better man then all of them together.
