Captain America remains my favorite part of the MCU. This movie is solid, but he just gets better from this point on. Also, that line of "I had a date" always kills me.
Grew up in the 90s, in the UK. Was the geek kid who actually read the comics and watched the Saturday morning Marvel cartoons. I always liked Captain America but when I tried bringing him up with the other kids, well they just responded negatively. They either thought his costume was stupid (to put it nicely), his shield/powers sucked or (seriously) they thought the character embodied the worst aspects of America. I found it upsetting back in those days, other kids didn't get Captain America. This movie is high on my MCU ranks, the perfect tone and introduction for the character everyone from my childhood misconceived. One of the kids that hated Cap when I tried introducing him to the character? Well now he's more than happy to wear matching Captain America shirts with his new born son!
25:30 Steve thought that jump was impossible and wasn't even thinking of attempting it, but Bucky refused to leave without him, so Steve had to make that "impossible" jump to save Bucky's life. I always loved the way that demonstrated how powerful the loyalty and friendship between those two is.
13:27 Her touching his chest was unscripted. The actress did it instinctively and immediately caught herself, but the director loved it and kept it in.
That scream is called the Wilhelm Scream. "The Wilhelm scream is a stock sound effect that has been used in a number of films and TV series, beginning in 1951 with the film Distant Drums. The scream is usually used when someone is shot, falls from a great height or is thrown from an explosion. The sound is named after Private Wilhelm, a character in The Charge at Feather River, a 1953 Western in which the character gets shot in the thigh with an arrow."
Never noticed before and I have seen TFA at least a dozen times. However, you sir are correct. That is Matt Salinger, son of JD Salinger. After his appearance in the gawd awful 90's Captain America film I thought he had been taken by aliens. He actually looks pretty good. Shame that much like the also unreleased 90's Fantastic Four it was made apparently to retain film rights...certainly did his acting career no favors.
@@PhilBagels but a lot of the gawdawful parts were in areas where budget isnt the main issue...I think of all the terrible things in the movie the worst was the writing. As I understand it in Hollywood writers make their equivalent of chump change. It was so bad at times I think they just filmed the first draft of a script.
@@witchking8497 Yes, but for example, with a bigger budget, they could have hired some more extras, so that World War 2 didn't have to be portrayed as Captain America vs a dozen (Italian) soldiers. Maybe they could have found an actor who could do a German accent to play the Red Skull, instead of making him Italian.
Audie Murphy became a national hero during World War II as the most decorated combat soldier of the war. Among his 33 awards was the Medal of Honor, the highest award for bravery that a soldier can receive. In addition, he was also decorated for bravery by the governments of France and Belgium, and was credited with killing over 240 German soldiers and wounding and capturing many more........Why mention this you ask??? He was turned down by two military branches ...He was 5'5" and weighed 112 lbs....About the size of "the little guy" in this movie.....After gaining the required minimum weight the US army took him in.
Jimmy Stewart, Hollywood legend (tho in 1940 just famous) attempted to join in Nov 1940 also failed as underweight/too thin. After the holidays (lol) he had added weight and was enlisted in Feb 1941.
Germany, just like ALL countries, has a wide variety of regional accents. A person from Bavaria, for instance, will sound different to someone from Brandenburg.
This idea of a German accent is so cringy... There aren't too many Hollywood actors who can pull it off convincingly. Taika Waititi is one amazing exception, he blew me away in What We Do In The Shadows.
@@Diegesis Yeah, I've been here 2 and a half weeks I think. During that time I've seen the subscriber numbers going up. Means you're doing something right, if I understand RUclips correctly.
"And the Fuhrer digs for trinkets in the desert." This is a reference to the "Indiana Jones" films. Director Joe Johnston worked in FX on that one before becoming a director. You've heard the work of composer Alan Silvestri in several Robert Zemeckis films, including Back to the Future, Roger Rabbit, Forrest Gump (for which he won an Oscar), Cast Away, and Polar Express. Howard Stark, and Tony, for that matter, are based on real life inventor/pilot Howard Hughes, who was famous for dating many beautiful and famous stars. The senate hearing in Iron Man 2 based on a real incident where Hughes was brought before congress to answer questions about his business practices, but ended up dominating the hearing with his big personality, mocking the senator questioning him, and coming away looking like a hero for "taking on city hall". The part of the show where Steve "punches" Hitler was a reference to the very first Captain America comic in 1941, which did feature him punching Hitler. Believe it or not, it was somewhat controversial at the time. This was months before Pearl Harbor and a large portion of Americans were very opposed to getting involved in the war in Europe.
Male loyalty and friendship as exemplified by the relationship of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes is exactly how male friendship and loyalty is in real life at its best.
This should be fun. I just saw an Endgame reaction a little while ago. It’s cool to revisit the early phase MCU films. It’s cool seeing how the template was developed.
Don't know if you caught this but when Zola was charging his machine he stops at 70% because the reaction is becoming unstable and Schmidt becomes impatient and kicks it up to 100%, when Steve is in the machine Stark stops at 70% percent even though everything is working fine because Steve is in pain and the doctor orders the test cancelled until Steve tells him he's ok. Shows the kind of people the doctor and Schmidt are, one is impulsive and will take unnecessary risks even if it might kill himself and many more, the other is patient enough to wait for the right man, and shut down his greatest achievement because it hurts one person.
I love the bittersweet ending of this movie. We want to see him get his dance with Peggy, but we also need to see him become the man-out-of-time in the present day.
@@cydra_infinity1423 - I respect your comment and agree, but you’re the one confirming spoilers by what you’re saying. The other guy could have just been saying something stupid or cheeky. (But I don’t think Diagesis is reading these later comments either way, so it should be all good.)
I love how the mix you mentioned between realism and fantasy is even reflected in the color design of the film. Most of the film's in this sort of pseudo-old-technicolor color grade, but with the more fantastical elements and scenes bearing more of that bolder more modern style.
Captain America is unquestionably the greatest super hero of all time. His loyalty, pureness and solid moral compass is the embodiment of everything a super hero should aspire to be.
Your reactions are perfect. This is one of the best origin stories ever made and very underrated. The dialogue was so profound. And that end credits scene is among my favorites.
The first season of "Agent Carter" is an excellent 8-episode self-contained adventure well worth watching. If Maple would like to see more of Peggy, you should get her to react to it!
I would say Peggy is best in the animated "What If...?" series with her getting injected with the serum and becoming Captain Carter instead of Steve. The episode principle this move with the characters flipped
Cap to me is like the benchmark for all superheroes. He doesn't need to be anyone's favourite because whoever your favourite is they want to be just like Cap.
Cap's cool and all, but my favorites are Wolverine and Thor, and they both never expressed any inclination to be like Cap. Wolverine respects Cap *a lot,* but he is much less of a boyscout, lives a much darker life and although he often reflects on his brutal actions he also often makes it a point, that he is the most "get it done, whatever it takes"-kind of superhero. Thor and Cap respect each other as equals in terms of bravery and values and Thor is 100% confident with who he is, he definitely doesn't want to be someone else. Wouldn't change with anyone in the universe.
Everyone clearly recognizes Hugo Weaving from LotR, but almost no one recognizes Richard Armitage. He played Thorin Oakenshield in The Hobbit trillogy. He's the Hydra agent who tries to steal the formula and kills Dr. Erskin at the test.
You never have to apologize for showing emotion, its what most people who watch reactions are looking for. Good reaction, i am looking forward to seeing you watch more mcu movies, its an epic journey.
"If you have something to say, now would be the perfect time to keep it to yourself." Tommy Lee Jones- Captain America: The First Avenger. That line got laughing hard. Jones, he always plays such hard nosed, stiff lipped but sassy AF characters, huh??
@@Diegesis True but I will go with the Russo's on this one; it is fun to watch everyone react to and change around him. Also watching him be tested (because he is) and pass the test is a little uplifting.
The lab scene, in the comics Project Rebirth; basically use the Super Soldier Serum (the blue liquid in the tubes) stabilized by Vita-Rays to create a person at the physical peak of human potential. Steve Rogers was quite literally the Guinea Pig, once the process was perfected the plan was to run all 8 Million+ members of the US Armed Forces through it. The process worked...the rest of the plan had some faults. Thus 'I was promised an Army, all I got was you.'
Project Rebirth is also the progenitor to the Weapon X project that enhanced Wolverine, originally called the Weapon Plus Project after the war as it attempted to replicate the success of Captain America. Another fun thing to note is Weapon Plus was run by the Canadian Government in the comics, which is why so many of their test subjects tend to be Canadian as well (like Wolverine as mentioned before as well as Deadpool)
That is still one of the most heartbreaking endings to any movie, and the main reason why I wish they hadn’t brought Peggy back for Winter Soldier: “It’s just . . . . . . I had a date.”
I love the light-heartedness you brought. Your silliness and goofiness is much appreciated, Maple. Thank you for your reactions! You caught Stan Lee... AND the Wilhelm Scream too! You're on a roll.
Finally a reactor who doesn't freak out when Peggy stands up with the Red Skull's Benz is teetering over the edge of the runway. Also, quick thinking to spin that sucker around.
15:45 This is the Nazis experimenting with supernatural shit to make super tech. In other words, not the '40s as it actually happened. Although some of the things the Nazis had very early stage blueprints for but hadn't built yet when the regime fell were pretty hair raising in real life, from what I understand. 26:15 The actor playing Bucky is Sebastian Stan (the Mad Hatter from Once Upon A Time). 33:23 It's called the Wilhelm Scream. It's a stock sound effect dating back to around the time this movie is set, which is, I think, why it makes an appearance here. George Lucas made it popular with mass audiences by using it in what at that time was the highest grossing movie ever, Star Wars.
Quite a number of things the Nazis had blueprints for...never actually worked. Some required technology that was decades away (ie a practical flying wing). Some 'worked' but the cost and unreliability was such that they very likely would have been better off with a less advanced weapon that worked 99.9% of the time. Great touches by the film makers to use these historical relics to give great flavor to the Nazi/Hydra Super-Science Projects.
Captain America (in the comics) was made in 39 as war propaganda before WW2. After the war, he reminded people of WW2 and they killed him. In the 60s when superhero comics were popular again, they revived him.
Steve's plan was to get caught so that he could get on the inside, be told the enemy's plans, and provide a diversion for the full attacking force, including his team.
I have no doubt that it will climb steadily. Most of the current form content is relatively recent, and most of the subscribers are as well. It just takes a little while for new (or newly restructured) channels to gain traction.
I love the clever hinting at Schmidt being Redskull when he’s getting his portrait done, with not just the painter’s reaction, but the smooth bald silhouette, and fact that the only colour on the painter’s palette is red. Great film making
Haha, about Stanley Tucci's German accent, I found this at Wikipedia: "Tucci said that what drew him to the role was the opportunity to do a German accent, which was something he always wanted to try."
Several fun facts; this is not Chris Evans' first Marvel superhero role. He also played Johnny Storm in two movies about the Fantastic Four. War bond rallies were real, and it was not uncommon to feature decorated servicemen to help drive sales. Also, his bond costume is based on his original comic costume. Back in the early 1960s, Marvel decided to cash in on the WW2 craze (tv shows such as Rat Patrol, Twelve O'Clock High, Combat!, McHale's Navy, and Hogan's Heroes were very popular), so they created Sgt. Fury and the Howling Commandos. The eye patch came later, when they took Sgt. Fury and created Col. Nick Fury, agent of SHIELD. The crew that Cap put together for this movie are the Howling Commandos, even if they aren't called that.
Also I can say that Ersinn has a pretty accurate accent. Some of my classmates talk exactly like that, even after 5 years studying English. It's true tho that it stops being that extreme after you talked English for a while :D
I've been following your Marvel watches and I feel this may have been your best one! Maybe it's the personal connection. I enjoyed watching this one immensely! You startled me at one point. You said, "There's that scream again!" It's rare that anyone notices it! You can hear that scream in a lot of movies and a few video games. It's been floating around Hollywood since 1951. It's called the Wilhelm Scream and it's something of a tradition among sound designers at this point.
@@jean-paulaudette9246 The scream dates back to 1951 and a movie called Distant Drums. In 1953, poor Private Wilhelm gave that scream after catching an arrow in the leg in the film in the movie The Charge at Feather River and the Wilhelm Scream got its name. It's been in tons of movies since them. (Hint: Listen carefully to the Stormtroopers when they're shot.)
4:57 Fun fact: Germany is a country big enough to have multiple accents, just like the US and England. It may just be possible that Stanley Tucci's German accent coach didn't come from the very same city your grandma came from.
So many nice touches. The blast flash on the "Red Skull's" face as he's killing a minion (classic "Red Skull" frame.) The "Red Skulls" face as the "Teserract" banishes him (homage to the moment in the comics when the "Cosmic Cube" caused the "Red Skull" to lose his mind and fall into madness.)
Did anyone notice Jenna Coleman (credited as Jenna-Louise Coleman) in a bit role as one of the guys' dates at the expo? She's the one from Dr. Who and also Victoria on PBS.
29:47 Captain America using the shield both defensively and offensively, hurling it to knock enemies down and stuff, that's been a part of his character since the 1940's. Over the decades that shield has bounced off and knocked down HYDRA thugs, AIM scientists, gods, monsters, super villains and more. You don't mess with around when Captain America throws his mighty shield.
Something kind of alluded to in Hulk, the army was trying to reproduce the super solider serum that made Steve how he is. It kind of ended badly with Banner. Blonski took a modified version and that's what made him so fast and strong.
I love how they never use large enough conductors and such in their electrical equipment. I guess it's just so much more dramatic with sparks flying around rather than using sound electrical engineering principles. 😉
Now that you've seen The Winter Soldier, the scene of Dr. Zola's face in the glass window gets its pay off. His character in the comics uploaded his mind into a robot body with a tv screen body-face.
Just mentioning that Germany has a ton of different regional dialects. Just because your grandma might have a different german accent, that doesnt mean the scientists is bad or inaccurate.
fun fact maple the part where agent carter touched steve chest after he got the serum wasn't part of the script the actress was really shocked by how he looked
26:50 "Guys?? Was that...?"
Larry King? Yes. yes it was.
Hahaha

I really love the jumping on the grenade scene. It shows that the serum gave Rogers super-strength, but he was already a hero before it.
The Stan cameo scene is a double cameo: the person Stan is sitting with played Captain America in an early 90s version of the film.

33:23 It's called the Wilhelm Scream. It's a stock sound effect dating back to around the time this movie is set, which is, I think, why it makes an appearance here. George Lucas made it popular with mass audiences by using it in what at that time was the highest grossing movie ever, Star Wars.
Quite a number of things the Nazis had blueprints for...never actually worked. Some required technology that was decades away (ie a practical flying wing). Some 'worked' but the cost and unreliability was such that they very likely would have been better off with a less advanced weapon that worked 99.9% of the time. Great touches by the film makers to use these historical relics to give great flavor to the Nazi/Hydra Super-Science Projects.
Captain America (in the comics) was made in 39 as war propaganda before WW2. After the war, he reminded people of WW2 and they killed him. In the 60s when superhero comics were popular again, they revived him.
Steve's plan was to get caught so that he could get on the inside, be told the enemy's plans, and provide a diversion for the full attacking force, including his team.
Hell yeah, you get to watch the Avengers next and you won't have to wait like we all did! Enjoy!
Hugo Weaving played Lord Elrond. but before that he was in The Matrix as Agent Smith.
He'll forever be Agent Smith to me.
yeah but she hasn't seen that yet.
@@Diegesis gotta be on her list then!😁
I liked him a lot in V for Vendetta...
The Red Skull, Elrond, Agent Smith, V for Vendetta, and my favorite father of Desmond Doss.
At 30:08, when I first saw this in theaters I can girled out. I mean, he tossed a grande belt into a building size tank!
It blows my mind that this channel "only" have 26k subs... it's one of the best react channels out there IMO.
thank you so much. youtube is fickle
I have no doubt that it will climb steadily. Most of the current form content is relatively recent, and most of the subscribers are as well. It just takes a little while for new (or newly restructured) channels to gain traction.
“Haha accept I don’t have to wait for may of 2012 baby! Hell yeah!” 😂😂
I love the clever hinting at Schmidt being Redskull when he’s getting his portrait done, with not just the painter’s reaction, but the smooth bald silhouette, and fact that the only colour on the painter’s palette is red. Great film making
“Wouldn’t it almost be better to have a soldier who wants to…?” - Yes, Maple, exactly!
I'm surprised she wasn't like, "Lord Elrond!" when she saw Hugo Weaving
Haha, about Stanley Tucci's German accent, I found this at Wikipedia: "Tucci said that what drew him to the role was the opportunity to do a German accent, which was something he always wanted to try."
To me he kinda sounded like Einstein
when the Red Skull grabbed the Tesseract at the end of the movie , he got teleported into Space!
Several fun facts; this is not Chris Evans' first Marvel superhero role. He also played Johnny Storm in two movies about the Fantastic Four.
War bond rallies were real, and it was not uncommon to feature decorated servicemen to help drive sales. Also, his bond costume is based on his original comic costume.
Back in the early 1960s, Marvel decided to cash in on the WW2 craze (tv shows such as Rat Patrol, Twelve O'Clock High, Combat!, McHale's Navy, and Hogan's Heroes were very popular), so they created Sgt. Fury and the Howling Commandos. The eye patch came later, when they took Sgt. Fury and created Col. Nick Fury, agent of SHIELD. The crew that Cap put together for this movie are the Howling Commandos, even if they aren't called that.
Also I can say that Ersinn has a pretty accurate accent. Some of my classmates talk exactly like that, even after 5 years studying English. It's true tho that it stops being that extreme after you talked English for a while :D
36:59 “I’ve seen the future… you could have the power of the gods” remember that quote!
13:15 "Build a boyfriend" 😂😂😂😂 We need one for "build a girlfriend" too...
When Maple said she couldn't wait to see Stan Lee, I thought she meant Mr. Tucci.
haha Stan lee Tucci
The way Peggy looks at Steve after he says why he's late is goals lol
I've been following your Marvel watches and I feel this may have been your best one! Maybe it's the personal connection. I enjoyed watching this one immensely! You startled me at one point. You said, "There's that scream again!" It's rare that anyone notices it! You can hear that scream in a lot of movies and a few video games. It's been floating around Hollywood since 1951. It's called the Wilhelm Scream and it's something of a tradition among sound designers at this point.
I would love to know why it's called the Wilhelm scream, and its earliest use in film or television.
@@jean-paulaudette9246 The scream dates back to 1951 and a movie called Distant Drums. In 1953, poor Private Wilhelm gave that scream after catching an arrow in the leg in the film in the movie The Charge at Feather River and the Wilhelm Scream got its name. It's been in tons of movies since them. (Hint: Listen carefully to the Stormtroopers when they're shot.)
@@davidoneal6157 Nice trivia score! Thank you!
"What's he gonna do?"
Be Captain America.
4:57
Fun fact: Germany is a country big enough to have multiple accents, just like the US and England. It may just be possible that Stanley Tucci's German accent coach didn't come from the very same city your grandma came from.
I like how he says that red skull is the dude from Lord of the rings and everybody knows that... I guess I'm old cuz that's agent Smith
I used that point of reference cause she had just reacted to lotr and not seen the matrix yet
So many nice touches. The blast flash on the "Red Skull's" face as he's killing a minion (classic "Red Skull" frame.) The "Red Skulls" face as the "Teserract" banishes him (homage to the moment in the comics when the "Cosmic Cube" caused the "Red Skull" to lose his mind and fall into madness.)
tesseract melting him scene also reminded me of raiders of the lost ark a lot
@@Diegesis Less messy... "GOD! CLEAN UP ON A GREEK ISLAND!" "Yeah yeah..."
Technically, I think "The Ark" was "self-cleaning."
Hugo Weaving played the Red Skull/Schmidt! The head of Medusa, a WW2 scientist organization not loyal to Hitler but to themelves!
Never trust elves
Did anyone notice Jenna Coleman (credited as Jenna-Louise Coleman) in a bit role as one of the guys' dates at the expo? She's the one from Dr. Who and also Victoria on PBS.
I did. I had rhe biggest crush on her in Dr.Who. the cutest companion by far
"Hail Hydra"
"How about no"
☠☠
Thanks for the refresh. Guess my kids and I are doing a marvel marathon this weekend.
For me Steggy is the Best MCU couple ❤
not peve? lol
I love how you enjoy the movies, rather than try to nitpick... new subscriber!
29:47 Captain America using the shield both defensively and offensively, hurling it to knock enemies down and stuff, that's been a part of his character since the 1940's. Over the decades that shield has bounced off and knocked down HYDRA thugs, AIM scientists, gods, monsters, super villains and more. You don't mess with around when Captain America throws his mighty shield.
Yep. "Little Stevie" looks like Martin Short in "Clifford." Shout out to the "reactor" that put that in my brain FOREVER.
Something kind of alluded to in Hulk, the army was trying to reproduce the super solider serum that made Steve how he is. It kind of ended badly with Banner. Blonski took a modified version and that's what made him so fast and strong.
Nice that you apprecite that you didn't have to wait! We had to wait.
That "Scream" is the famous "Wilhelm Scream"
I love how they never use large enough conductors and such in their electrical equipment. I guess it's just so much more dramatic with sparks flying around rather than using sound electrical engineering principles. 😉
Haha
According to Pitch Meeting, the musical number was used to introduce his super hero name and his costume.
“I just feel bad when they just disintegrate into nothing.” Me: 👀👀👀
She doesn't have to wait for 2012! That's a good thing! 😀🤣❤
"U ready to follow captain America into the jaws of death?
Me: 😬
hope you notice lord Elrond here 🤣🤣
Love the channel! And Maples reactions are great it’s always fun to see peoples reactions to marvel stuff for the first time
I had an Aunt Maple ~ other than her, you're the first "Maple" I've known!
The scene with Bucky on the train is delicious foreshadowing.
Now that you've seen The Winter Soldier, the scene of Dr. Zola's face in the glass window gets its pay off. His character in the comics uploaded his mind into a robot body with a tv screen body-face.
Just mentioning that Germany has a ton of different regional dialects. Just because your grandma might have a different german accent, that doesnt mean the scientists is bad or inaccurate.
“uh anyway, that’s sad”
me at every marvel movie when i start crying
33:15 that's the famous "Wilhelm" scream. It's used in nearly every action movie.
"Welcome to maple" the start was to funny 😅
Great reaction. "I can do this all day."
"A millitary speakeasy" lol
fun fact maple the part where agent carter touched steve chest after he got the serum wasn't part of the script the actress was really shocked by how he looked
How? she woulda seen him all through the basic training scenes
