LOVED the scene at the beginning of Steve and Natasha being perfect fluid fighting machines. That was some beautiful cinematography.
FALCON! Those wings are AWESOME, and beautifully animated. I thought they were going to be a lot more mechanical, but they made them look like bird’s wings somehow, really fluid and awesome. Loved it.
WHERE IS MY BLACK WIDOW MOVIE? I love her. I loved her being prickly and distrustful at Steve. (Also, selfishly pleased that she's still kind of a cipher to us. I was sort of mildly disgruntled that the movie was going to joss my Widow/Hawkeye fic, which has been lying around 85 % finished for, uh, two years or so, but actually it’ll still work just fine, so, yay! Black Widow! I should write some more about her.)
Natasha kicking ass dressed as the frumpy middle-aged woman from the security council! The only thing I would have enjoyed more is if the frumpy, middle aged woman had actually been a kick-ass fighter in her own right.
I’m 110 % attracted to the Winter Soldier and 0 % attracted to Bucky Barnes, and I was kind of amused by the way my levels of attraction kept sliding around depending on how much he looked like a crazed, traumatized, wildly tousled fighting machine at any given point.
Wasn’t the Winter Soldier wearing a shit-ton of eyeliner during all the promo materials? Why was there no eyeliner in my Winter Soldier movie?
Speaking of, why was there no Winter Soldier in my Winter Soldier movie? I mean, seriously, we got like five minutes total of Winter Soldier screen-time, and we didn’t even get to the bit where he remembers who he is! Seriously, you guys, I’m emotionally ready for “Captain America and the Winter Soldier: This time with actual Winter Soldier.”
I didn’t believe them about Fury’s death for one second. NOT FOR ONE SECOND. It wasn’t a heroic, tragic, or emotionally significant death, and even Coulson’s heroic, tragic, and emotionally significant death didn‘t stick in this universe. Come the fuck on.
Everything about the actual plot of this movie was kind of stupid and I seriously failed to give a fuck. On the other hand, everything about the character interactions in this movie did it for me in a serious way, and that’s what I really wanted out of it, anyway.
They seriously need to start giving us some explanation for what the rest of the Avengers are doing during each other’s movies. SERIOUSLY. I mean, I’m supposed to believe that Tony’s just sitting around somewhere letting SHIELD attempt world domination with the helicarriers HE FUCKING BUILT FOR THEM without even showing up? Tony Stark? SERIOUSLY?
In conclusion, STEVE ROGERS. NATASHA ROMANOV. FALCON. FALCON’S WINGS.
