I hope Zola isn't the clairvoyant on shield. I want someone else tied to Hydra and Shield. I think it would be a cop out if that happened.

This was better than The Avengers, which suffers more body blows with each ensuing viewing. I'm not a huge fan of the MCU, once the novelty wears off, but really looking forward to how they close out Phase 2 and especially interested in the potential of Phase 3 (Doctor Strange...please ).

Stephen Strange is a threat to Hydra, so they'll have to take him out.

Best Marvel movie to date. Way better than the 1st Captain America movie.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. follows up on the movie on Tuesday. It's going to change some major dynamics with the show.

Wow. Great movie. In the MCU, I think it is at the top with IM and TA. Great action, someone mentioned you could feel everything and they were right, very intense political/espionage style flick with Super Herod tossed in. Everyone was great but really enjoyed widow in this movie.

I did like the first post credit scene when Von Strucker says that it's the

"age of miracles" instead of "age of mutants" due to the rights issues with Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch.


Creative.

In time for the next movie, no doubt.

Spoiler:
Was there some sort of implication that there was at the very least sexual tension between Widow and Cap? Was there supposed to be anything going in between them? I find it very difficult to believe that any red-blooded heterosexual male could resist her .

Nah.
Spoiler:
She gave him shit early on and he basically told her that he has to readapt to the ways of interacting with women. I guess not even Scarlett can unfreeze Capn's boner.

I just find it such a stretch of the imagination to believe that any straight guy could resist her, that's all . I mean I'm willing to suspend disbelief up to a point, but...

So I guess he got to watch Star Wars in the US version considering it looks as if it is crossed out.


TV is going to have to change its name from Agents of SHIELD to Agents of HYDRA. Colson is going to take back Skye's badge she was just given.

wtf is pisco?

And, Nirvana is only "good" if you have a frame of reference to what was going on with music at the time.
Why look into Steve Jobs???

FUCKING LOVED this movie. It doesn't top The Avengers in my book, but it's a close second in the MCU. And Captain America is my least favorite "major" comic book character. Like Superman, the "Boy Scout" stuff is just boring. But they knocked it out of the park here. So many neat things in this one. There was some real danger throughout the film, a ton of impressive action sequences and some kick-ass world-building. I too am stoked for Agents of SHIELD this week too. They are doing such an amazing job tying all of these things together.

Super cool seeing Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch too. And drives home how dumb it is that what appear to be much shittier versions of these characters are going to be in Days of Future Past. Also loved all of the cameos/mentions: Batroc, Agent Carter, Crossbones - exactly what a comic book movie should be doing.

Both of those had a big influence on what shaped the modern world. Also, knowing info about these would clue Steve in when he hears references to them.

I'm just amazed that they managed to make that Secret Warriors story make fucking sense. Man, that was confusing in the comics.

Over all, I loved it. I really can't wait for James to show up again. He was such a great part of this and I'm all for him taking up the shield when Chris Evans decides to retire.

Furthermore, if that really is meant to say "disco" why the hell would someone suggest to him to look into a dance crazy that lasted for a couple of years in the 70's????

Just stop. Your shit ran old long ago.

Disco is also a music type. Not just a form of dance. Disco music has had great influence since. A lot of good beats.
