Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier
Let me start with this: it's not as good as the Avengers. In fact, Captain America movies have this problem, where I leave the theatre just wanting to see the sequel, instead of being satisfied with what I just saw.
The stuff that bugged me:
Let me start with this: it's not as good as the Avengers. In fact, Captain America movies have this problem, where I leave the theatre just wanting to see the sequel, instead of being satisfied with what I just saw.
The stuff that bugged me:
- I am legit devastated that they cut out Natasha-was-trained-by-the-Winter Soldier
- Not enough Black Widow.
- Watching this movie, it feel really, really long. Partially because all the best stuff happened in the first half, partially because stuff that I was on pins and needles for didn't happen.
- We got no non-brainwashed Bucky? How is that fair?
- IN WHAT UNIVERSE SHOULD MARIA MOTHERFUCKING HILL BE WORKING AT STARK INDUSTRIES?
- The scene with Peggy was brutal and exactly why I wanted her to be dead before Steve woke up.
- NATALIA ALIANOVNA, BLACK WIDOW, MY QUEEN.
- IF ANYONE EVER SAYS WIDOW IS UNEMOTIONAL, I'M GOING TO DROP KICK THEM OUT A WINDOW. I ADORED HER HEARTBREAKING OBSERVATION OF NICK'S "DEATH."
- And this movie made me TOTALLY ship Natasha/Steve. Like, A FUCKTON. EVERY CONVERSATION WAS JUST SO GOOD. The stuff in the car in particular. "Who do you want me to be?" BOOM, FUCKING SHIPPING IT, SHOOT ME INTO THE SUN.
- (I'm going to have to write the fic where the reason that Nat wants Steve to be dating someone so much is so that he's "safe" from her.)
- Also, practice kissing. There better be so many "practice kiss" fics being written AS I TYPE.
- Goddamn, Nat looks good with curly hair. I loved it when she was sitting on the bed in the black tank and you see Steve in the mirror before he comes out.
- Sharon Carter was great.
- Maria fucking Hill was freaking amazing.
- WHEN I REALIZED THAT THE LINE "YOUR WORK HAS BEEN A GIFT TO MANKIND, IT'S SHAPED THE CENTURY" WAS REFERRING TO BUCKY WHILE HE WAS ABOUT TO BE PROGRAMMED I LITERALLY FELT LIKE LYING DOWN IN THE AISLE BECAUSE OF FEELINGS.
- Also, that the other line about the world "seeing you as you are" referring to Nat was great.
- The fight scenes were amazing. I wanted to watch them all on slow-mo. And the way Bucky moved with his knives was fantastic.

/IN WHAT UNIVERSE SHOULD MARIA MOTHERFUCKING HILL BE WORKING AT STARK INDUSTRIES?/ - I know, so strange! I still can't wrap my head around it!
/Maria fucking Hill was freaking amazing./ - Totally! And what about the fact that she's obviously the only person Nick fucking Fury trust implicitly? How awesome is that?!?

It's not impossible. (And in fact, when I first heard the story I assumed that Nat was lying.) HOWEVER. We don't know that for sure. IF they were saving that reveal (as I assume they are saving 'Bucky gets to interact as Bucky not Winter Soldier with people' for a later movie, I still think it's a very bad call. DON'T SAVE BIG THINGS LIKE THAT FOR THE SEQUEL IN THREE YEARS, OKAY? IT'S JUST RUDE.
/Maria fucking Hill was freaking amazing./ - Totally! And what about the fact that she's obviously the only person Nick fucking Fury trust implicitly? How awesome is that?!?
SO AWESOME. AS WAS THE FACT THAT SHE SHOT DOWN THE HELOCARRIERS KNOWING THAT STEVE WAS STILL ON THEM AND THAT GREAT SCENE WHERE A COUPLE DUDES BURST INTO THE ROOM AND SHE JUST FUCKING SHOOTS THEM.

/AND THAT GREAT SCENE WHERE A COUPLE DUDES BURST INTO THE ROOM AND SHE JUST FUCKING SHOOTS THEM. / - OMG, and she didn't even get up from her chair to shoot them! So badass! *_*
