CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLIDER (2014) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | HE'S ALIVE?!

Dammit, *THAT'S* where it was from! It rang a bell but I just couldn't place it. Been a while though.

[@mauz4588]

Redford was the sort of actor who got cast as the hero in thrillers of the 70s and 80s that Winter Soldier is modeled after. So casting him as the villain is a great move that subverts expectations of people familiar with the sort of roles he usually plays.

[@brandyanderson3522]

Yes the Russo Brothers have Saturday specifically wanted him for that purpose. And when they did have him cast, there were parts of the story that were made to pay homage to his roles in those movies

[@jerodast]

Interesting. I would say one of my few disappointments with this movie is the LACK of subversion around Redford's character. He seems like a semi-annoying political guy from the start, then it becomes clear that SHIELD is being corrupted, which ALWAYS naturally leads you to suspect the political guy at the top...and that's exactly who the bad guy was. For that to be a real surprise he would've needed to have a stronger "good guy" characterization early on. I dunno, I haven't rewatched the beginning of the movie in depth in a while, but I just don't recall much in that direction before the "twist". Perhaps they were relying on meta-feelings about the actor too much...or maybe I just forgot that they did that :P

[@sergioaccioly5219]

I'll 'fess to something: every time a reactor distrustis Pierce, I die a little inside. HOW COULD anyboy distrust Robert Freaking Redford? It's unconstitutional, that's what it is.

[@Evil_Peter]

A fun part about the directors is that they had only done comedy before this movie, and the most successful things they had been a part of were the shows Arrested Development and Community. Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, contacted them about making The Winter Soldier after he watched an episode of Community with plenty of paintball action and thought that they had an eye for action. That led to these two comedy directors making one of the most celebrated superhero movies ever.

[@ShanelleRiccio]

It's so unexpected, I was shocked when there wasn't a bunch of action all over their imdb!

[@QuestionableLifeChoices]

this was the movie that made people realize that these movies could be more than just superhero comic book movies, as fun and successful as they were. it had smart and engaging writing, great character studies, a crazy twist (which would've come from on high and not the russo brothers but gd does it feel completely organic unlike most decisions from on high in hollywood), and it's STILL funny on top of the spy thriller vibes. it also convinced people that captain america was actually cool, and a really interesting character--more than just a relic of the past. it's a standout in the MCU

This movie was an even bigger thing for us who were watching Agents of Shield after the Avengers movie. Even though Marvel didn't want to allow AoS to be part of the MCU, AoS went out of their way to stick to the continuity of the movies.

[@anonymes2884]

I mean, AoS didn't do any of that against Marvel's wishes because, y'know, they just wouldn't have been allowed to :). You don't get appearing in the season finale of a TV show if Marvel hasn't signed off on it. (but I do agree that it's disappointing AoS has _more or less_ been shunted off into its own thing and ignored by the MCU at large because big chunks of it, S4 especially, are still some of the best stuff Marvel's done on screen IMO - keep hoping but I figure if it didn't happen in something like e.g. "Secret Invasion" it's _probably_ not gonna happen. Though some of the Netflix stuff has made it over so you never know...)

[@JonPaulMaki]

One of the technicians/scientists behind Pierce - bald guy with a beard and glasses - in the scene when Bucky is being reconditioned is Ed Brubaker, co-creator of the Winter Soldier in the comics. He didn't create Bucky - Joe Simon and Jack Kirby did - but he came up with the idea of Bucky having survived and become the Winder Soldier. Until Brubaker, there was an expression that "Nobody stays dead in comics except Uncle Ben and Bucky."

[@jonathanross149]

and Gwen Stacy

[@gregghelmberger]

People inside the industry, no matter who they were working for, had a saying. When one of them mentioned that a character was being killed, someone else would ask, "Are they dead, or are they Bucky dead?" 'Cuz everybody figured Bucky was never coming back. In fact, his return caused one of those tempest-in-a-teacup furors that comic fans are so notorious for.

[@3Rayfire]

That moment always makes me think that Tony's position in Captain America 3 is that much dumber. The Tony from Iron Man 2 and Captain America 3 are VERY different Tonys and I feel like Iron Man 2's Tony is the correct one.

[@DJKuroh]

@3Rayfire I mean, yeah. He was changed by the attack on New York and Sokovia. It fed his paranoia. He also still has an ego, so he sees some of it as "not his fault" so the other members need to be reigned in, while also thinking he can get more official clearance from the government to do what he wants after the Ultron fuck up. Guilt, paranoia, and a little ego and hubris that "he knows best" is Civil War Tony. He's still out there engaging with the public and taking crap (he still runs a business). The other members pretty much stay out of the public eye. The talk he had with the lady backstage was a huge weight on him.

[@QuestionableLifeChoices]

@@3Rayfire lol I know! I wouldn't go so far as to call him an idiot but his deep seated, barely addressed trauma and paranoia was calling the shots with that one and not logic. If he had been thinking clearly, I like to think he would've either a) been open to listening to the others concerns, or b) come up with a clever middle ground that has both accountability AND security measures in case of situations like Hydra

Someone mentioned how this movie had tie-ins with "Agents of SHIELD" (on ABC). Also of note, the often overlooked series "Agent Carter" premiered shortly after this. It is definitely not critical watching for the MCU, but it is worth calling out for Haley Atwell's great performance and the look at Peggy Carter and Howard Stark's roles in the creation of SHIELD.

[@Owlyross]

Oh I wish they would have kept Agents of Shield in the continuity

@@OwlyrossI love the show but I was glad AoS untethered itself from the movies. Because the moment they started doing their own thing the show became amazing, almost perfect

[@3Rayfire]

@@JamailvanWestering It's honestly more aggravating that the films didn't react to what was going on in Agents. AoS's premise was based around the idea that we'd see the fall out of the movies in more detail and that really meant something with Age...it's one of the few things I hard disagree with Feige over. But at least the show had a good long run. And Agent Carter was just incredible. Or maybe I think Hayley Atwell is perfect no matter what.

[@alexgonzalez-fn9jb]

Hawkeye is like “what am I over here? string cheese?”

[@glennwelsh9784]

Yeah, it kinda highlights the plot hole of each of the post-Avengers solo films. Now that the Avengers are a team, why can't they give each other a call to lend a hand (or a really strong pair of green fists) each time they encounter a major threat on their own? The movies never really have an answer for that, since it would probably mean that they'd be over in 5-10 minutes. It's the classic old plot hole of "Why didn't they do that earlier in the movie? Because then we wouldn't have a movie." So it's really just better not to think about that.

[@brandyanderson3522]

​@glennwelsh9784 they can't really do like the comic books do, which is have a little blurb at the bottom that says Iron Man is busy fighting AIM in Tennessee. Especially since in some of these movies they're supposed to happen simultaneously, or at least with some type of overlap But also, I think like, "Where is Iron Man? Well, we know he doesn't live in DC." So, while you might be able to call him, he's not just going to show up. Whereas later on when things happen in New York, it makes sense to question why Spider-Man doesn't show up.

[@3Rayfire]

@@glennwelsh9784 I think this film does have the best justification. This is all secret spy stuff, the manhunt for Captain America wasn't on the news, it was a SHIELD/Hydra operation at point-blank range with SHIELD HQ. If Nat or Steve had actually called any of their friends they would've alerted SHIELD to their location and possibly caused more damage. At this stage Tony and Bruce are in Stark Tower in New York, Thor was most recently in London with Jane, Hawkeye is probably at home in Iowa. So the we didn't have time justification holds water. Also in his first appearance Nick Fury shuts down JARVIS, so SHIELD potentially has the tech or the foothold in Tony's tech to actually disable or Override the Iron Man suit, so maybe having Tony show up could make things worse. As for Bruce...I wouldn't really rely on the Hulk's IFF in this kind of situation.

[@ShanelleRiccio]

😂😂 i know poor Falcon

[@AmbassadorBIGz]

Here's another FUN FACT: Whenever you see Bucky/Winter Soldier in this movie there's always a high pitched sound/screech that you hear. That sound is actually taken from the first Captain American movie. It is Bucky's scream when he is falling out of the train and they pitched it up for The Winter Soldier.

[@dopam3m3xl]

This is my literal favorite movie. Not just production value but story telling, bringing something 70 years later to evolve the stakes. I actually believe Steve's story line is genuinely heartbreaking. From his point of view everything he sacrificed his life for in the past didn't truly stop Hydra so its a huge gut punch for him.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was half way through their first season when the producers were told about this movie. The way they incorporated this into their show was legendary. It sounds strange, bu this is the first film that nailed how Cap is portrayed to move and fight in the comics. I mean comics are 2D... they do not move. But something about the previous two Cap appearances is so inferior to his movement and fighting in this. The scene where he tears through the building and throws the shield at Winter Soldier is one of my most rewound scenes in the MCU. And the Winter Soldier "screech" score is fab. This was the best MCU movie by far.

[@dannybonett8349]

The Bucky past and present experiments started with him when Steve first found him, “thought you were dead, thought you were smaller” which is what allowed him to survive the fall. The brainwashing came after they found his body in the snow, hence, The Winter Soldier. This movie is amazing and everything the Russo brothers do in this universe is phenomenal. You have some darn exciting stuff coming up Sha. Enjoy

That little run up the wall as Steve rounded the corner IS faster than just running, because he'd have had to slow down a little to take the turn properly if he'd stayed running on the floor. Much the same way that bobsleds (for example) ride up on a curve to take a turn at speed. That aside, this is - in my very humble opinion - STILL the best MCU movie ever made. It's not about the world-ending stakes, it's not about caped gods flying around destroying entire cities while trying to fight the bad guys, it's not overly fantastical, AND it's based on one of my favourite comic book arcs from Cap. It feels exactly like the sort of thing Captain America was made for. It's also just a really REALLY solidly made movie that could almost stand completely alone - separate from the MCU in general - and still be rock solid.

They said that his running form is 100% efficient and almost impossible for a stunt double to recreate it. Apparently he did ballet as a kid and his running style is described as "a dancer's run". If you look at any of his running scenes, his head has no up-and-down movement.

[@BeastMohan]

Yes, let’s go! My favorite MCU movie!

[@auslandermercury972]

This is my favorite MCU movie. I actually went back and watched your reaction to the first Captain America just so I could watch this one 😅

[@Citizero]

This where the MCU starts to accelerate to overdrive.

[@ShanelleRiccio]

IM READY

[@alexthorpe6583]

There’s a rumor that the directors set out to make a movie that the Honest Trailers channel could find nothing to complain about. They pretty much succeeded.

[@SoloJona]

And it’s not just a rumor!

[@RayPruitt-ji9jx]

12:06 I'm down with that right now, since I'm in Florida and the heat is brutal.

[@Faerie_Kim]

My favourite mcu film. The friendship between black widow and captain America is a real joy. The tense don't know who to trust vibe is great. The emotional stuff with Bucky and Cap. Just so many good things about this movie.

[@3Kings_Industries]

That moment Cap takes down a while plane on his own.

[@tomaslongoria2449]

This movie had large repercussions in the show Agents Of Shield!

[@TheJamieRamone]

27:27 - See? Told 'ya they'd soap-opera him back. Also: dat reaction tho! 🤣

[@jonathanross149]

This is like a 70's political thriller.

[@Scimarad]

It's so very appropriate they got Robert Redford.

[@matthewdunham1689]

Three Days of the Condor is its inspiration and that’s my favorite Robert Redford movie. ❤❤ she should watch that now.

[@tboneintx]

Great reaction! I was waiting for you to get to this one! This one is still top 3 mcu movies for me.

[@SC457A]

I love watching people watch the MCU story line. So much good content for reactions. Now GOTG time!

[@jdspencer60]

Batroc "The Leaper" is a high level fighter, he's played by Georges St.Pierre, a former UFC welterweight champ and some would argue he's the best fighter of all time

[@TheJamieRamone]

23:18 - Yeah, me too. It's like a spin on the old "callback". 😉

[@MarvelousMusicmmusic]

I gotta give you credit Shanelle, you're editing & your takes are 🔥 you're definitely one of the best "reactors" and content creators in this space 👍🏽

[@-M0LE]

This movie again was a welcome surprise for me Great from start to end the pacing is superb really keeps you interested throughout and you lose time watching it literally engrossed

[@daniellanctot6548]

15:09 - *_TAHITI! It’s a magical place!_* (IYKYK) 😜

[@3Rayfire]

_"How was Tahiti?"_ _"It Sucked!"_

[@ericgeddes3353]

I love Cap because his character reminds me of my grandfather. Poppy fought in the navy in WWII and he Loved big band music.

[@Xonslaught1]

I have to pick up a cake at 2:20,😂 Don't ever change, Shanelle.

[@questionmarke]

I was so excited to see this video pop up in my KZbin feed today! Love this movie and couldn't wait for you to experience it!

[@isthatwhatemptymeans8222]

This is the best MCU movie. It's Tom Clancy with capes. It's awesome.

[@Logan_Baron]

"NOW I know what SHIELD stands for" The long ass title was used before the abbreviation in Iron Man.

[@ianrastall]

This was during the time when the TV side was the most integrated with the movie side. (The MCU is both.) Agents of SHIELD was in S02, I think, and they were reacting to the events of Winter Soldier, just like they reacted to the events of Dark World.

[@bubbashore6450]

Near the end of S01.

[@TheCkent100]

Actually, Season 1, episode 17 ties directly with the release of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier". The episode "Turn, Turn, Turn" aired on April 8, 2014. "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" was released in theaters on April 4, 2014. Likewise, "Thor: The Dark World" lined up with Season 1, Episode 8 "The Well". And Extremis from "Iron Man 3" was very much a part of the first 7 episodes of the show.

[@joeconcepts5552]

@@TheCkent100 Yes, we see the exposing of Hydra from those characters' perspectives, and it pretty much gives the show a "soft reboot." I think it got better after that.

[@anonymes2884]

@@joeconcepts5552 _Way_ better IMO, it's like two different shows.

[@mikefetterman6782]

Watching Die Hard on network television and edited, Bruce would look up and say "Yippie Kai Yay Mr. Falcon". Those were the words they chose.

[@louiscypher9558]

I worked in downtown Cleveland when they were filming the bridge fight scene. I could watch the filming from my building. Later that year I met Samuel l Jackson while being the chef at a wedding at the manakiki golf course.

[@The_RedVIII]

Damn, I'm so hooked on these MCU reactions. It's like nostalgia. Can't wait for Guardians of the Galaxy and most of the upcoming movies.

[@josequinones2251]

Civil War was my favorite capt movie, even tho they're all good. That wrapped up the story really good

[@xJRx77]

Widely recognized as quite possibly the best of the MARVEL films to this point. I agree. But... the best is yet to come!

[@eliroth9978]

I was on a cruise ship when this movie came out. Watched it like four times cause I could.

[@auslandermercury972]

14:05 Haha, big questions. I never actually thought about that before 😄

[@MarkDemeo]

Im currently doing an MCU rewatch. I had gotten to Thor 2, which always drags for me,then i thought about my reward is getting to this movie.
