Captain America was so good. So good. I was wary of seeing it because I've never been too big on superhero films, but ughhhh, loved everything about it, for all of the reasons you listed. I am GUTTED over what happened between him and Peggy. CRUEL. TOO CRUEL.
not cry laughing, like it had been doing, but actually crying? Something about Kristen Wiig’s character Annie and her friendship and her jealousy and her rage and how terrible she was being to herself struck me, and it stung.
The exact thing happened to me. I expected to go into this movie laughing the entire time, but it was honestly the hardest I've cried during a movie in a LONG time. I still loved it, but holy crap was it painful at times (probably because I went through a period in high school when my bff grew incredibly distant because of a guy, and I guess it hit home in a way?). So you're not alone at all!
RACHNA. RACHNAAAAAAA. IF I COULD TWIRL THIS POST AND HUG IT CLOSE TO MY HEART, I WOULD. Skipping the Castle stuff for now because I'm still not quite caught up yet but I might swing back here for more word-vomiting once I am.
Your description of Steve's goodness is so on point that it actually hurts a little, because fuck yes. I love love love how his physical transformation only served to facilitate and amplify his inherent heroism, that it wasn't just the muscles that made the man. Steve's story was about the little guy from Brooklyn who wanted so badly to have a chance to contribute to the cause, who got it, and who fought not to seize glory for himself or even for his country but to do good. It's simple but poignant, and human in a way that I wish more people connected with because then maybe they wouldn't be so dismissive of it. And I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed Chris Evans in this role because I've seen him in other things and was fairly indifferent to him as an actor

Your paragraph on Captain America is so perfect I want to weep. I feel the same way about good characters. I have a hard time loving heroes a lot of the time because of the preachiness or self-righteousness or just plain blandness that often comes with the package, but damn genuinely good people who choose to be good just get to me. Leslie Knope and Steve Rogers comparisons! Taste my feelings! And yes, you know my fuck The Avengers feelings quite well by now I think.
