In the comics, it's specifically said to be Savate.

[@wolviespartan]

@@Logan_Baron Sorry I meant to say Savate is more Thai Boxing than Kickboxing. My mistake.

[@tarmaque]

@@Logan_Baron Yup. You'll even notice that Cap switches to Savate to fight him "fairly." And fairly kicks his French butt. Having been in WWII Steve would probably have been introduced to Savate, since many US soldiers were. Canonically Steve is expert in just about every kind of martial art known, without being a master of any of them. Hence Shang-Chi is a master of Kung-fu and could beat Cap in that one area, but Steve knows other kinds of martial arts and can switch it up. If they were restricted to la Savate then Cap would almost certainly beat Shang-Chi. That said, Shang-Chi was primarily based on Bruce Lee, who's philosophy of fighting is much like Cap's: Be like water, change to meet circumstances, depend on no style because that limits you, use whatever form you need at the moment. This is also very similar to thoughts in Musashi's _The Book of Five Rings_ where he recommends you be able to strike from any position, and follow no master's teachings blindly. Therefore my example may not be fully cogent.

You gotta love a martial art that was invented to kick pirates into the ocean.

[@pheenmachine]

It dances between both very gracefully. I think most Marvel adaptations that have been successful found a way to tone that line. Daredevil works well with crime procedural elements, making the Ant Man films more like heist movies helped give them a unique voice and charm as well.

[@neonseas]

There is a heartwrenching thing in how precise a casting choice Robert Redford was for Pierce, the mind wipe process they use was clearly not perfect, so they assigned someone as his handler that looked a good deal like Steve. When he was young he was just as blonde, blue-eyed, and strong-jawed as Steve is, and it could be used as a lever to make Bucky more likely to trust him. It probably kept him a lot calmer than he would have otherwise been as well.

[@pheenmachine]

I didn't even think of that. I just figured since he had a long history of being in spy/political thrillers it was a great touch.

When this movie first came out in theaters, Hail HYDRA was trending everywhere. First job I had in high school, my friends and I worked at a car wash. One car we detailed was a Rolls Royce, and its hood ornament was the HYDRA symbol. We kinda geeked out a little because the movie had just released and we talked about seeing it after work. So we all kinda got in the mood, starting telling each other, "Hail HYDRA." What we did not expect was for the car's owner and side passenger to come up behind us and shout "HAIL HYDRA!" It even spread in school. You return a book to the librarian, "Hail HYDRA." You clap a friend on the back for scoring a point on the field, "Hail HYDRA." You hug your girlfriend or boyfriend in the hallway, "Hail HYDRA." Even passing notes in class; I wrote to someone who wanted to copy my answers, "HAIL HYDRA."

He thinks to himself (monologuing to the reader) that of course that’s why he put a target on his chest - he can’t armor his head.

I'm a big fan of the old Captain America from the comics, and this movie does a great job of showcasing why, from his principles to his capabilities. This is also the best movie for Black Widow, which is a bit of a shame in a way. That they never greenlit a solo film for her right after this (and _Lucy_ which showed Scarjo had the star power to put butts in theatre seats) is still one of the biggest missteps of the MCU. I think she should have had her own film between this and Avengers 2 for sure.

Winter soldier refers to soldiers who would fight during the harshness of winter back in the days when they could go home and tend to the farm until Spring and could choose to fight again if inclined during the warmer months.

Second: The dude that Cap fights on the ship is a comic villain known as Batroc the Leaper, a master of Savate: French kickboxing Third: A "winter soldier" is one who endures hardship and doesn't give up no matter how hard things get. It's a reversal of the "summer soldier" from one of Thomas Paine's writings about how in times of crisis, the summer soldier would run and abandon their duty to the nation/ideals. That describes Cap perfectly. Bucky is called the Winter Soldier mainly because HYDRA would keep him on ice between missions, hence his lack of aging just like Cap.

3:40 Actually that's Savate (which I think should have an accent over the second a), a French martial art.

[@tarmaque]

It is indeed Savate, which does not have any accents. Sometimes "Savate-boxe française" or "la Savate." The word means "old shoe" or "boot." In it as a sport where kick points are only scored by strikes with the foot, not the shins or knees. "Savate-boxe française" literally means "French shoe boxing." It can and often does include strikes with the hand, but is primarily a kickboxing style. When Batroc confronts Steve as "I thought you were more than just a shield" he replies by switching to Savate and kicking Batroc's butt.

Captain America and the sneezing soldier

[@Mattical1980]

I think you meant 'Capoeira'. Capybara are those big rodents. Thanks, that gave me a chuckle thinking of Capitan America fighting a Capybara, lol. *...you got it

Great reaction! 👍 And early congratulations on 100K subscribers. 🎊 You're on your way.

Now would be a great time to start Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. There shouldn't be any big spoilers unless you stop watching the movies and watch multiple seasons right away. I don't know if reactions would get worthwhile view numbers, but you would enjoy the series, and if reacting doesn't work out you could always binge it off camera, although there could be minor spoilers/refences if you watch, say, all of the first two seasons before Age of Ultron... Even then, any spoilers from here on are fairly minor.

If you let the sneeze out like when you’re alone, it will go away. Those cute princess squeaks won’t cut it. The point is to get something out of your nasal passage, u are preventing it.

Winter Soldier is literally one of the top MCU movies for most fans. Glad it kept you guessing and that your guesses were wrong. As they were for us in the theaters. :) The rest of the MCU movies are pretty good stuff from here on out. :)

3:40 Capoeira is a very famous fight here in Brazil! Congratulations for reacting Brazilian subscribed here!!

There are real problems with using the name "Winter Soldier " for this character. The phrase comes from Thomas Paine, who wrote a pamphlet to be read to Washington's troops at Valley Forge:"These are the times that try men's souls. The Summer Soldier, and the Sunshine Patriot, will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country. But he that perseveres it now, deserves the thanks and praise of man and woman. " The title "The Winter Soldier Hearings" was used by the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, who held public hearings in which hundreds of veterans testified to war crimes they saw committed by the US in the War." They held a march un which thousands threw the metals they had been awarded in the War over a fence onto the grounds of the Capitol building. So using it for a programmed assassin is really not app, and is the worst thing in an otherwise really good movie, whose message is arguably, at least in the case of Captain America, closer to both Tom Paine and to the Vietnam Veterans Against the War.

Not really. It's only a problem if you only think of Hydra as the "Haha we're evil because we love being bad!" less then 2D type of villains, but they're not. Sure Hyrda is evil, because they do evil things, but Hydra believe themselves to be the good guys. They think they're saving the world and that they're the ones making the hard choices and sacrifices to do so. Look at a lot of what Pierce says, specifically look at the scene with his house keeper; it's clear he doesn't want to kill her, but he believes that he has to so, so he does it.

[@pimtooler6370]

Sure the character is an assassin, but the name fit with the message of the movie. Though I do think the whole SHIELD is innocent and Hydra secretly infiltrated behind the scenes is a bit of a cop out if we're talking about the US military industrial complex and their war crimes. But hey, its a marvel movie.

[@erikawilliams9558]

Dude. It's a movie....

[@benjamintash6032]

"Before we get started, does anyone want to get out?" One of the best lines from marvel.

[@MrFarnanonical]

19:22 dont worry about Natasha being shot. It never explains it in the movies but shes a super soldier like Steve is. The difference is she had a russian copycat version of the serum and it didnt increase her physical strength as much, but it increased her reflexes and like steve she has an increased healing factor.

[@kevinkuoch5933]

Ah yes, Capybara. Truly a terrifying and deadly Martial Art.
