Marvel: The War Was in Color

** Since I know quite a few people have found their way here through Tumblr, I *do have an account there. ( / settiai ) Please see below for my own vidpost on Tumblr, rather than the many posts made by other people. ***
"Sit down, son. Let me fill you in." Or, alternatively: STEVE REALLY FEEEEELS! (As do we.)
Very much a companion to Carry On ( • Marvel: Carry On ), another Steve vid that I premiered at this year's Vividcon.
Comments are always appreciated.

This song sounds like it's invented for cap. It's staggeringly perfect.

[@VxJUSTICARxV]

Not bloody likely, moron.

[@PyroGothNerd]

"Invented for Cap" Do you....have any respect for war veterans? At all?

[@liadan7776]

@@PyroGothNerd pretty sure they just meant it fit cap well...... Chill

[@greysweats01]

I......don't know what to say. Like. I am completely blown away. You have created not only such a poignant character study for Steve but you made it a touching view of the Avengers through his eyes as well which was really interesting to see. I'm giving you the highest of praise right now because damn, damn, damn, this is SO GOOD. I would love a download link, please.

[@emilyblackwood5911]

I had shivers. Literally. I'm not an emotional person, I didn't cry, or any other strong feeling, but I had shivers all throughout the video.

[@MissLucyJane]

Ten years and this vid still moves me to tears. Thanks again for this vid.

[@HORSESNDOGS9]

I love this, it's an amazing way to tell Cap's story

[@jamiedoesthings]

I really need to spend less time crying over Marvel

[@VxJUSTICARxV]

Well, try learning about the real men who fought over there. They are the real captains, sergeants, corporals, and privates who gave whole hell of a lot more than some funny papers.

[@XenaBe25]

Aaw, don't be so hard on the kids. It's a lot for them to try to imagine. At least the team at Marvel did a fine job of capturing the spirit of the time, prettyboi actors or not. I remember visiting my grandfather and his buddies in Sunnybrook around the turn of the millenium. 2 of those Sunnybrook guys were at Dieppe. Just wow. One was ancient, missing a leg, and tottering around on crutches. But he still went out of his way to hold the door for me, and offered to carry my hockey bag. Double wow. It's so sad to see that whole generation gone. But Marvel remembers. The films were a pleasant surprise, very politically astute. They captured the guts and the heart that our real life heroes had. Chris Evans was also a pleasant surprise. Body of a pinup boy and heart of my grandfather

[@XenaBe25]

Also, some of the actors (Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie for certain, and possibly others) host charity events for war widows and their families. I was pleased with the respect Mack showed our vets when he spoke to those people. He's not always a buffoon ;D

[@fuzzycrusher7283]

jamiedoesthings me to

[@Emma-yq7pk]

I’m gonna say probably yes but then in 26 days that’s gonna go out of the window

[@fatal444blackout]

This song is just hauntingly perfect for Cap. thank you for introducing me to this song and for making this beautiful video.

[@dstutesman9574]

fatal444blackout I totally agree

[@moonlightmina137]

This was beautiful! The message of the song was beautiful and it fits perfectly with Steve and his feelings. I loved it.

[@dreamwaffles]

This song makes me cry at the best of times (I'm kind of a military history buff as a hobby), and this was one of the most beautifully done videos I've ever seen to it. The focus on teamwork was beautiful, and I loved how you incorporated the extra footage to bring home how long he's been gone. I would love a download link.

[@VNoche]

Gosh, the Steve feels in the video. I love everything about it!

[@AuntMo9]

I've always loved this song from Carbon Leaf and then to see what you've done with it in this video is amazing. Perfect fir all the clips are so well timed. Amazing job and it had me in tears.

[@ladyjaganshi]

I won't lie, I lose it every time I watch this fanvid. Usually the waterworks start right around two minutes in. I'm not typically a big fanvid person but this is by far the best one I've ever seen :3

[@nocturnalwrites]

What a beautiful job! And such an appropriate music pick for Cap, too.

[@cjazzist]

Perfect character capture. Love this video. So so well done, perfect song for the story.

[@BurnRoddy]

Look at him! He's making me cry...

[@eldestdaughtervisenya]

i’m not one who usually seeks out fanvids, but i’ve come back to this one multiple times over the years as it’s better characterization of steve than we got in multiple movies. the editing of clips to fit the lyrics is stellar and seamless, well done!

[@Settiai]

Oh, thank you! It always makes me so happy to hear that people are enjoying my older vids even after all this time.

[@onigirimiyaa6042]

This a MARVELous work.

[@amandae.8251]

Let's just MARVEL in the puns.

[@maplehugger1857]

You guys just made my day 10x better.

[@amandae.8251]

+Emerald Heart Glad I could help! ^.^

[@maplehugger1857]

xD

[@arrowsandcrowns]

this is the best Steve/Captain America tribute I've ever seen....you couldn't have picked a more perfect song...Beautiful!!!!!!!!!

[@poet4jesus]

You are truly a gift to the fandom. This video is wonderfully done, and is so beautiful to watch. It is perfect, it takes my breath away to watch it. I've probably watched it 10 times already. Beautiful beautiful job.

[@roguetheotter]

The song alone woulda done it. Adding the video.... and I'm just going to be a sad puddle for awhile.

[@gothgirlrules]

I always start tearing up when I listen and watch this video.

[@merindab]

This is absolutely my favorite steve rogers fanvid

[@tinkerbom]

I actually teared up during the punching bag bit. Very well done.

[@surrexi]

HOLY JESUS ALL MY FEELS. Just lots of gross sobbing going on over here, omg. This is amazing.

[@AJSZodiac]

Love the video. Can't beat carbon leaf. Also anyone else spooked by how the video is 6mins 16secs. The same number as the normal marvel universe. 616!!

[@40thCapeRifles]

I don't have anything to say. You left me speechless. Thanks for doing this, and sharing it with us.

[@alisonpoole6197]

Oh my god this wonderful :) . I can feel what our really live heroes must be feeling when I hear this song and they remember it all.

[@marianagari8344]

This video literally took my breath away. It's perfect and wonderful. I've a lot of feelings to deal with now, but it's totally worth it!

[@bethemoon16]

This is absolutely gorgeous, seriously. I love how much emphasis there is on how his teams have been such a big part of his wars, and the contrasts - guh, gorgeous.

[@kalldridge]

This has got to be the best fan made video of anything Marvel I've ever seen... Seriously awesome mate! Thanks for making it!

[@rukbat3]

Some videos are less than 2 minutes long, but you get tired of watching long before the end, and some videos are over six minutes, but you're so engrossed in watching them that they're over before you know it. Guess which category this vid falls into?

[@jengorman2246]

Pardon my language, but I have no other way to express how fucking brilliant I find this vid. Might have even commented already, but I watched it again and it's just one of my favorites.

[@Settiai]

Over half the vid is made up of clips from The Avengers, albeit the deleted scenes from it. That's why I marked it as being Marvel rather than solely Captain America.

[@gazebo46]

I think I watched this vid about a year ago and I thought it was awesome! Watching it again I still think it's the best!

[@coryhills9745]

I can't get enough of this video. Awesome job!

[@KookieDelight]

So that is 6 minutes of my life I never want to take back. In fact, you can have another 6 as I hit replay and cry some more.

[@MagicTimeTravel]

Oh my gosh I'm crying this was amazing

[@thatnerdtori9006]

Best. Cap. Video. Ever. I mean it. So often I'm annoyed by FMVs for having melodramatic editing or poor/corny song choices but this is PERFECT IN EVERY WAY.

[@chloedalton-tims486]

Carbon Leaf is by far one of my favorite bands and this song is one of my favorites. So to have you flawlessly combine it with this glorious video you made... just perfect! Such a perfectly breathtaking video! Well done!!!

[@daverahner1978]

I saw this years ago, and, right when I needed it the most, I found it again. Thank you for this beautiful piece of work.

[@daisymeade]

I saw Sitwell in there! Near the end! Oh, and I thought this video couldn't be more awesome. Very cool video. It gave me chills.

[@mattiej9244]

Holy crap what a video! I got chills and I alMOST STARTED CRYING!

[@alicebermann8748]

this is the most beautiful video of cap i´ve ever seen!! you did a fantastic job with it :D

[@Bialystoker20]

love this so much. brilliant editing. also, just so you know, I can't listen to this song or Carry On without feeling like I'm going to cry now.

[@rachelmcivor8039]

I'm not in massive amounts of pain or anything. No, I'm perfectly fine. Look at me......just fine. 😭😨😵

[@XenaBe25]

This is beautiful. Goosebumps and tears, bro. And I'm not usually the type to cry over a fanvid lol. It's my new favourite. Looking forward to anything you might be planning for Infinity War.

[@Settiai]

Thank you so much!

[@haylstorm6]

This video is amazing! It gives me goosebumps every time, especially when the clips go from black and white to color in the beginning. I thought the song must have been made for Captain America because you fit the clips to the song so well!

[@hornswaggler15]

That was absolutely stunning. I'm not entirely sure how to put it in words, but another comment was right - it really expressed Steve flawlessly. I think we tend to forget that the Avengers took place maybe a few weeks after he woke up and going from the war he knew to an alien invasion...I don't think many could handle that like he did. Amazing video. Absolutely amazing. Keep it up!

[@thelonboots]

I am just gaping at my computer screen while tears threaten my eyes, this was gorgeous and so well done. FEELS

[@danielmaxshaw]

For all the Videos I've seen here of a song mixed with film clips, this one is the best one I have Ever seen.Magnificent.

[@gazebo46]

OMG! This is really, really terrific! The song was perfectly matched with the clips of both movies and was able to convey the feelings of Steve Rogers. This video is such an incredible treat! Thank you!

[@literosexual6541]

This is the best captain America vid I have ever seen! I am honestly crying!

[@wintermoons1215]

Wow, this was amazing. Perfect song choice, i like the fact that Tony was the 'grandson' Steven was telling the story too. Amazing video!

[@rosekyo]

Great video and a great song to go with it. I've never heard that song before, but it does tell a strong message.

[@shamwowsuck]

How does this not have a million views?! We need to fix this! This video is amazing; hands down, the best Steven Rogers fan video I've ever seen!

[@kalldridge]

This was so well made. Seriously. I can't even tell you how many times I've watch it today. Beautifully done!

[@ceem5915]

Oh my god you jerk. (I mean I love you) I am just SOBBING down my face with Steve feelings right now.

[@burntegg9975]

NO THANK YOU FOR THE FEELINGS (but omfg srsly this was beautiful)

[@citiesinstardust]

I am legit crying rn, you did a wonderful job with this.

[@myfamilyiscrazy]

That was beautiful. Actually crying right now, dang it. Favorited! :')

[@marianaalvarez5285]

I have read all the comments and not one has said that this video made them cry. Then honey let me be the first to say that this video made me CRY so much that my mom thought I was dying! Thank you so much for making me have feels for the rest of my life. Overall GREAT JOB! Loved every second on it!!!

[@obliquered]

OMG, I FEEL ALL STEVE'S FEELS NOW. This is BRILLIANT.

[@FraxinusDipetala]

Eeeeh I've got chills still even though I've replayed it so many times.

[@shamw0wable]

I love this song! It fits so well with the story, great job!

[@MontHulmeProductions]

I get shivers and goosebumps every time. This is a totally amazing video.

[@leafclan43]

[@ghostman779]

wow man, that video was freaking beautiful, the editing was was,perfect imo. very well done

[@NalakittyAMVs]

This is - I don't even - I have no words. This was way to amazing.

[@nureinbaum2125]

Wow! Just wow! the song fits perfectly und the editing is great! (I especially like the part where the video changes from black-white to color.)

[@WillBNunn]

That was incredible. One of the best music videos I've seen in a long time.

[@blek1984]

Perfect song choice, amazing video! It really gave me chills

[@nickblog3407]

Incredibly beautiful and sad, really makes me feel for Cap.

[@SlodWick]

So, so lovely. Excellent song choice, beautifully edited. Oh, Steve.

[@KimuraCarter]

This is so well done, and is just like a punch to the gut. I cried my eyes out. Beautiful work.

[@ILAWLinYOURface]

All the emotions. I'm having all of them. This was lovely.

[@ColourfulSilence]

This is so good, one of the best Cap videos I've seen. The song fits so perfect :D

[@laugzz]

I love it, it is so touching and perfect for Steve.

[@SanguineHarp]

One of the best fan-vids I have EVER seen! Great Job!!

[@IL_801]

Beautiful! And every scene fit the lyrics so well I just Feels

[@InsertShankHere]

Song is beautiful, video fits it perfectly. Made me teary.

[@mitchellhp]

This is perfect! I love this song for Steve. Amazing job!

[@AndriaSchwortz]

I can't figure out where some of the footage comes from: Steve sitting at a cafe and sketching a building, and him sitting at a desk and reading through the dossier files of people he worked with in WW2. Were those deleted scenes from Cap 1 or Avengers 1?

[@Settiai]

Those clips are from the deleted scenes available on the blu ray version of The Avengers.

[@MoiraRussell]

This is gorgeous.

[@ChambersJewellery]

Oh god! I'm dying of Steve feels. This is beyond amazing. I love it. It's so well thought out and just epic in all ways.

[@Reverse2057]

Sobbed my eyes out.

[@KatWilton]

I really enjoyed this; your choice of song along with all the scenes.... PERFECT! **Very, very, VERY** well done!

[@pachirisu888]

Oh my gosh I just foun out that pre-serum Steve was colorblind! This is perfect.

[@nonsensicalcompound]

I'm tearing up over this beautiful video :) Well done!

[@digitalfare]

Wow, this is beautiful. Well done.

[@bananas1and2]

oh this is beautiful. beautiful.

[@chibiyukienciel]

I legit started crying at how perfect this is. Just btw.

[@amosanguis]

You are beautiful and I love you and I love this video and this needs more views. May I have to download link as well?! Ugh, you are glorious. The editing was perfect. Also, the fact that you were able to keep my attention for the entire length of the video is an astonishing feat!!!

[@theemeraldpenguin]

This video is perfect and so so heart breaking.

[@blessingsx]

I know the title says 'Marvel' and that you included Avengers clips, but I thought this was a really, really beautiful vid on Captain/Steve. It's like the song was made for him, and your vid definitely did that justice. Absolutely touching. I'd love the link if you're willing to provide it still, but even not, this video will be in my favorites for a long time to come :)

[@jamiedawn6760]

Chills much? This was amazing!!!! So good, so true!

[@DaveJnrJnr]

I've watched this 3 times already today and I've only been up and hour

[@spuffyisthenewbangel]

This is so great! The first "the war was in colour"... goosepimples. Seriously. Wow.

[@Settiai]

Thank you.

[@heatherwilkerson8897]

This is the best video ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
