Captain America Steve Rogers was the first Avenger introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and his story is in many ways the story of Avengers Endgame. Why is the Captain America final scene so thematically critical to the biggest twists of Endgame? In our latest #InfinitySagaRewatch breakdown, Erik Voss reexamines Captain America The First Avenger for all the new Easter Eggs we missed in earlier reviews, and the clever ways this film sets up The Avengers (2012), Age of Ultron, Winter Soldier, Civil War, Infinity War, and even Spider-Man Homecoming. How is the villain Red Skull and mix of the Abomination from The Incredible Hulk and Loki from Thor? Where did Howard Stark get the vibranium for Cap's original shield if Wakanda was a secret, and was Cap's supersoldier serum derived from the heart-shaped herb? How is the evolution of Cap's shield parallel to the evolution of Tony Stark's Iron Man armor?

[@AqwDragulum]

[@jakobpalomino5417]

I always wondered: If hydra weapons are powered by the Spacestone, and everyone who gets shot just kinda vanishes, is it possible, that they just get teleported somewhere else?

[@titan20111]

JakuCHI 23 I’m assuming that’s exactly what happens, considering the space stone is primarily used to create portals in the MCU; This is also supported by the fact that Red Skull didn’t die at the end of Cap TFA but instead was teleported to Vormir.

[@archangel5627]

After seeing the Red Skull return in Avengers Infinity War, I started to think the same thing. All of the people who were shot by Hydra’s WW2 Spacestone weapons had to of been teleported somewhere else in space time. It totally makes sense considering the The Red Skull teleported to Vorimir after the events of Captain America The First Avenger.

[@TheNinthGenerarion]

Arch Angel if it was a random place, it’s almost guaranteed they died as the universe is essentially 100% fatal

[@JASAmakesMVs]

The character that Laura Haddock is playing here is actually Meredith Quill's mom, Peter's grandmother! I don't know if that was the intention when filming, but it's at least been retconned to be the case!

[@joshuaely8914]

One of the the things I noticed from repeatedly seeing this movie (Cap is my favorite!) is the parallel between Red Skull testing Zola's tech and Steve's transformations scene. In the first, Schmidt tests the machine, Zola stabilizes it at 70% and Schmidt pushes it to full capacity to complete the exchange and harness the tesseract; the creation of the hero's main problem. In similar fashion, Steve undergoes the transformation by being subjected to the Vitarays. When Stark reaches 70%, Steve cries out and Peggy wants them to stop but Steve pushes through. The machine runs at 100% and the hero is created. A threat is created and a hero is born in response and they have parallel origins. The story telling is quite good!

[@jakob_3646]

Fun fact: The 1970 scene in Endgame is exactly 50 years ago today. (4/7/1970)

Is it possible that all the people that was shot by the HYDRA tesseract weapon were not kill but transport to another part of the universe by the space stone like Red Skull???

[@eldiegoxter7517]

Shut the front door

[@kathradyne6801]

This is basically confirmed given in both guardians films and agents of shield we see humans living in space with no explanation. Sure some of them could have been taken to space like Quill was, but there's simply to many examples of it in the mcu to write them all of. Given that Hydra probably hit a lot of people with their weapons it's a given that even if not many, a few humans would have ended up on hospitable planets.

[@jimjones4345]

@@kathradyne6801lol what ? that's not confirmed as cannon at all. There are little bits of smoldering ash and other pieces falling after someone is shot, I'd think its more likely they're dead. And the hydra weapons were used in 1940s, they'd all be very old or dead during the guardians movies .

[@brycevo]

Dum Dum Dugan and the Howling Commandos will always be my favorite parts of this movie

[@EddieMitz]

One thing I noticed, or hope we can get some answers on, is when Red Skull uses the weapons on the Nazi officers, is that when they are hit with the beam, they don't disintegrate, but rather just kinda morph out of existence. Since the weapons were using space stone energy, is it safe to assume that the Nazi officers were teleported to some random location in the universe, rather than killed?
