Your girlfriend should know characters will start to permanently die in the MCU, the criticism of characters not staying dead was a thing pointed out by a lot of people in the beginning of the MCU, & I think Marvel accommodated for that in later movies (I Won't Spoil Who Dies Though). Also I agreed with your girlfriend in the beginning about Captain America getting on Black Widows ass a bit too much about keeping secrets, although this is still one of my favorite MCU films.
Holden check out Corridor Crew youtube channel. They do a stuntmen react segment where they show alot of how the stunts were done with behind the scenes with marvel. Especially the ones with Gui Desilva since he is black pantger n falcon stunt double
I didn't know my first time. I also didn't remember Bucky too well back then though. That said, I showed my little sister these movies when she was around 12 and when we saw his face she was like oh :/ cause she didn't think he was cute but one second later she was like "BUCKY???"
There is a valid reason why cap was annoyed...he was leading a team into a mission while he had been kept in dark for a whole part of it...it's not cap vs black widow...it's about chain of command. He was totally in the right reacting the way he did.
Exactly. He had to make a plan of action for everyone to follow and because of Black Widow's side quest, he couldn't account for her absence. That isn't something small that you could just ignore.
yeah he can't lead a mission if others have missions of their own. It's what makes them a professional covert service and not a bunch of guys running around with guns. Could have cost lives.
Mega hearts to Jen for understanding straight up that Winter Soldier was not the villain of the story, but just a person turned into weapon by being himself abused. Way too many people seen him just as a villain.
@@WuMyth My cousin that started watching mcu, hates Bucky that he killed Tony's parents. She knows that it's not his fault, but she's still angry at him and Steve. She also hates Steve. It's so annoying for me. She likes spiderman and ironman and hates Bucky, Steve and Nat. It's SOO annoying. We're about to watch Endgame and I'm scared that she won't be excited when Cap lifts mjolnir.
@@WuMyth tell it to the whole Winter Soldier press tour when Seb was asked all the time about playing villain to the point he was visibly annoyed at those. A ton of people just cannot read nuances. So props to Jen for cutting to the point AT THIS STAGE of MCU.
Interesting fact about the music in this movie: The soundtrack of the Winter Soldier is actually a call back to the first movie. It is Bucky’s scream from when he’s falling off the train, except they stretched and slowed it out veryyy long to symbolize the agony and pain Bucky’s mind has been going through all that time Then to make it even more eerie, the director of the movie recorded a scream of his own and intermeshed it with Bucky’s stretched out scream to make it scarer
@@masterofthechimichangas1306 well it is true for the first half of the MCU. Bucky doesn’t die, Coulson doesn’t die (Agents of SHIELD), Loki doesn’t die, Pepper doesn’t die, Loki doesn’t die again, nick fury doesn’t die and there’s some more but I won’t spoil it in case Jen reads the comments. By AoU it kinda stops but for the first half it was very prevalent
I feel so sad for the confused, lost Winter Soldier/Bucky who pulled Cap from the river. He doesn't know who he is or even have his own mind. Psychologically, what is going through his head at that point?
I feel like while he may not have known anything about him he knew he had to save him like instinct from the 40s kicked in and he just knew he did what he had to do without knowing why :)
Until watching this reaction I had forgotten just how terrifying Sebastian Stan is in this movie as the Winter Soldier. Christ that highway scene. Unreal.
Well, the whole point of Asgard is that the technology is far ahead it seems like magic. Iron Man wouldn't work without technology that isn't able to actually exist. This movie though coukd easily be written in a way where we don't need a concrete cutting lightsaber and a face mask that gives no sign of it being fake. Imagine if they used the lightsaber against villains, they would win in a second.
@1993DJC for what we can assume both the cutter and the face mask are "high budget Shield tech", so unless we get another espionage like movie, there isn't much space for that tecnology to appear again.
@@yacoobabraham5401 still counts. He's still 99 years old, even if physically and mentally he doesn't seem like it. He still looks around at everyone around him and realizes that he doesn't fit in with any of them. It's one of the reasons he never dates anyone. Same with Bucky, as we see in Bucky&Bird (it's shorter than saying the whole title. It's gonna be a thing, trust me).
It's honestly amazing to me that Winter Soldier (in 2014) gave us the first on-screen appearances of Sam Wilson, Wanda Maximoff, and Winter Soldier-Bucky. Considering the LOVE all three of them have now in 2021.... they've come a long way.
It was annoying how at the start she was talking about how round steve is, that was because in the 40s it was simple, good vs bad, now it’s a gray area, and hopefully in the civil war vid she’ll notice cap does have edges to that perfect circle
i remember when i let my ex-girlfriend back then watch the Winter Soldier while on an MCU marathon, it was the only movie that made her gasp, lean on the edge of the seat, scream, cheer. It really is THE masterpiece of the MCU
@@marcusduck Infinity War doesn't hold a candle to Endgame. The only thing special about Infinity War is thanos and I guess there heroes losing and while that is a decent chunk of the film it is lacking in a lot of areas besides that.
Cap is “whining” because Natasha was supposed to help rescue/protect hostages. When she disappeared she left STRIKE hanging with hostiles still active, thus endangering innocent people’s lives. In trying to discover her whereabouts and activity she caused Cap to be distracted and blindsided as well as almost getting them both blown up by a grenade. Which she then accepts responsibility for acknowledging that she was in the wrong. You can also find this information in the movie you just watched.
I just realized: the song that is playing in Cap's apartment when he discovers Fury in hiding is the same song that Cap and Peggy are dancing to at the end of A:EG.
@@Tabzx03 Yeah Holden needs to stop hyping movies he likes and stop downgrading movies he doesn't like prior to the movie getting watched. He'll get more honest ratings from who's watching the movie with him.
I think calling Cap a “rule follower” is a bit of a disservice actually. I think Cap follows his own moral code, and the “rules” just happen to align with it. He’s not the type of guy who would adhere to an unjust rule if it went against what he thought was right.
Man, going back to this movie when we're about to see the final episode of the falcon and the winter soldier is just really emotional. What a freakin' journey MCU is. And we still have a lot to come.
Man, I just discovered this channel. And this series is giving me life. Watching Holden not give up spoilers when asked, but making faces to the cam is awesome. My favorite part of Fandom is sharing it. So this is my total wheelhouse. Now a subscriber.
man, the opening with Sam & Steve hits a lot harder now since Falcon/WS has almost finished up. Anthony Mackie has really grown on me, dude deserves the mantle 🇺🇸
The timing of this reaction coming out in the midst of all us watching Falcon and Winter Soldier is just perfect. Love seeing so many characters intros in this!
Jenn is such a thoughtful person. She gets so frustrated when Holden doesn't tell her things while watching the film. That look she gives the camera is great. I love thier dynamic. These watches are fun. This movie is one of my favorites, but I am a BIG Captain America fan. Thanks for sharing these.
On the Hydra/Shield split. I think majority was Shield but the Hydra portion was made up of the elite operatives and a number of the higher-ups. Which is why they posed such a threat.
I hope that Ed Brubaker finally gets the honor that he deserves for the creation of The Winter Soldier. Stan Lee killed off Bucky because he had nowhere to go with the character, now there's a whole show and fan base focused on him.
@@logansmith2703 Like he said in the interview, that's only because he hasn't gotten shit from the MCU for it. He was offered a "Thank you" check, which pales in comparison to what The Winter Soldier is actually worth.
One of the technicians/scientists (the bald one with the glasses) in the scene when Bucky is getting reconditioned after his fight with Cap is Ed Brubaker, the writer who co-created the Winter Soldier. He's gotten more money in residuals for that cameo than he's gotten for creating WS.
Anyone else notice the star wars call back with Sam Jackson when he grabbed the weapon to cut the whole it looked like he was grabbing a light saber. Lol
The russos said in an interview that they nicknamed that weapon as his "lightsaber" and they wanted to make a little blooper where he pushed the button and a purple lightsaber came out 😂😂 i dont know if they ever did it but i love the idea
@@ragasayad5103 you have the right to your opinion but I'm just saying hating cap for 1 mistake and just forgetting about the good he has done is not right, I mean Tony is a good man and a hero but he has also done some shitty things too but he redeemed himself, so if you are a iron man it's just hypocritical to not believe in redemption for keeping a secret while the one you call a hero is responsible for a lot of shit.
@@skywalker6587 iron man or his family created like 6 of the villains in the MCU and that isn't including stane. Mysterio, Zemo, Ultron, vanko and killian. but damn cap makes one error by not saying hydra killed his parents and damn CAP SUCKS! Hopefully the guy you replied to has other reasons than that for hating him.
the joy and enthusiasm on jen's face when she's talking about and looking forward to the next movies is adorable/infectious .... and the best is yet to come
I remember back in the late 60s or early 70s, Marvel published a satirical special issue - I think it was "The Mighty Marvel Achievement Awards" or something like that, and Bucky got an award for staying dead and avoiding the comic book cliche of popular characters who died miraculously coming back to life. I really like Bucky and think he's gone through some of the best character development, so I'm glad he was eventually brought back, but I understand where they were coming from.
I´m so so happy that Jen likes this movie. I was so exited for this reaction but at the same time scared because of what happened when Matt watched it.
Jen’s MCU watch: Iron Man ✅ The Incredible Hulk ✅ Iron Man 2 ✅ Thor ✅ Captain America: The First Avenger ✅ The Avengers ✅ Iron Man 3 ✅ Thor: The Dark World ✅ Captain America: The Winter Soldier ✅ Guardians of the Galaxy Avengers: Age of Ultron Ant-Man Captain America: Civil War Doctor Strange Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Spider-Man: Homecoming Thor: Ragnarok Black Panther Avengers: Infinity War Ant-Man and the Wasp Captain Marvel Avengers: Endgame Spider-Man: Far From Home WandaVision The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
I vividly remember watching this in theaters and freaking out over the Hydra reveal because at the same time I was watching the TV show Agents of Shield and I was like "Omfg how is it going to affect the show?” It ended up being one of the best parts of Agents of Shield.
I turn 21 in a month and when I saw this movie, I was only 14 years old and watched in the theater the day it came out. He went from being my least favorite Avenger to being my favorite Avenger in a single movie and after revisiting the first Avenger, I really appreciate it in retrospect.
Steve is not "square" he is a military officer of the army where they work differently and there are no hidden side plans that the mission leader does not know. That makes Cap feel disrespected his rank, it's understandable.
Why like Captain America more than any other Marvel super hero is because is has a Stoic mentality. He doesn’t let his emotions control his actions or his speech. He has strong beliefs and to some they be rigid, conforming, and out dated, but he isn’t unwilling to change the way in which he sees things in the world. He treats everyone with respect even those who disagree with him or those he is up against. Hope y’all enjoy watching thru the rest of the MCU movies
To be fair, it is quite impossible to think he somehow cut through that much concrete with a tool the size of a toothbrush in literally 10 seconds- with that purple lightsaber sure no problem but that’s like shaving your beard with a nose-hair trimmer
@@BichaeldeAngelo Do you remember the cutting torch used in the opening of Captain America to cut through the ice and hull of the Valkyrie? Fury had the miniaturized version that is literally in every agents' toolkit in the comics.
Not telling the Mission Lead (Cap) that one of HIS assets/team members is on a different mission is a HUGE no no in ANY military or espionage endeavor. It's giving you a tool belt but the second you need your screwdriver, it vanished. I understand the 'square' ref, yes, Cap is by the book, mostly, and for a good reason. Oh wait, she's a Tony fan lol Now I get it.
I knew Jen is gonna like Black Widow more when watching this movie. Well Jen, you're not wrong. Once you're done with phase 2, you'll get all the juicy bits 😂😂😂
The Hydra agents weren't that many but they were extremely well placed and prepared. Hawkeye was sent on a mission across the globe according to the Russo brothers and all the Hydra agents were concentrated at the headquarters for the big day. "Agents of Shield" covered the attempted coup in detail.
GSP is the best! Got excited back in 2014 when I saw him show up for the first time, I was glad he was able to translate his talents to something else like this. Great Guy too if you haven’t heard the story he told on Joe Rogan about his childhood bully, I suggest it, made me a bigger fan.
wow this was genuinely the first time i haven't skipped through the video to skip a sponsored ad. people NEED to be this creative and entertaining lmao.
I’ve been rewatching the MCU in order and after I always y’all’s reactions. I love how y’all enjoy these together and seeing how she gradually learns about the MCU is so fun. Thank y’all for making these.
*I can attest that there is MAJOR juiciness to come Jen* I also love how practical u r when watching these movies and wanting Fury’s car for the apocalypse 😎🔥🤣 this movie opens up so much that’s to come and can’t wait to continue watching ur reaction 🥰
It's funny to me that she views Cap as a "rule follower" when he's the most likely to rebel because of how corrupt the government can be. I mean even in this film he technically wasn't being an obedient soldier, he's constantly questioning what SHIELD is doing and goes into hiding instead of turning himself in or something like that.
It was no secret to those who read the comics that BUcky was going to return, since the reveal is in the title, but our excitement was in seeing every non-comic MCU fan react to him being alive in the first place, so we jsut kinda smiled when the reveal happened and we go "Yep!" BUcky never died, he got captured and brainwashed by HYDRA! There are people who still get the biggest jaw drop from the reveal that Steve had been battling and chasing his best friend the entire time! I still get a kick out of people when the mask gets ripped off, and there like "Wait, who is that? Steve looks heartbroken, why would he--?" And then Steve goes "Bucky?!" I remember being int he theater on opening night, and a whole bunch of people just audibly gasped at seeing Bucky because they had seen the First Avegner movie before it, and I was so giddy with delight! Moments like those make us so happy as Marvel fans! Plus yeah the movie was a Clancy novel/spy thriller/James Bond political espionage vibe, which i loved!

Man, I just discovered this channel. And this series is giving me life. Watching Holden not give up spoilers when asked, but making faces to the cam is awesome.
My favorite part of Fandom is sharing it. So this is my total wheelhouse. Now a subscriber.
man, the opening with Sam & Steve hits a lot harder now since Falcon/WS has almost finished up. Anthony Mackie has really grown on me, dude deserves the mantle 🇺🇸
This movie is just so FUCKING GOOD I could watch this movie any day of the week and I wouldn't be bored
yupppp
Still my fav in the MCU.
@Pruthvi Raj agree
Shouldn't you have said that you can watch this all day? Missed chance. smh
The timing of this reaction coming out in the midst of all us watching Falcon and Winter Soldier is just perfect. Love seeing so many characters intros in this!
"perfectly balanced, as all things should be"
Oh its a cherry on top 4sho!! 😊
Don't forget Wanda!
Jenn is such a thoughtful person. She gets so frustrated when Holden doesn't tell her things while watching the film. That look she gives the camera is great. I love thier dynamic. These watches are fun. This movie is one of my favorites, but I am a BIG Captain America fan. Thanks for sharing these.
His Girl: "who's Stephen Strange?"
He: " You'll See"
Dammmnn Broo!!🔥🔥

On the Hydra/Shield split. I think majority was Shield but the Hydra portion was made up of the elite operatives and a number of the higher-ups. Which is why they posed such a threat.
Jen: Cap still follows the rules.
Me: Wait till you see Civil War.😂😂
Yup she'll stop drinking that iron man kool-aid
Spoiler alert
@@ashjoseph3005 Cap is an total asshole in that movie so I find that to be highly unlikely.
@@Babl069 How is Cap an asshole in Civil War?
@@jkhoover for keeping the death of Starks a secret
I hope that Ed Brubaker finally gets the honor that he deserves for the creation of The Winter Soldier. Stan Lee killed off Bucky because he had nowhere to go with the character, now there's a whole show and fan base focused on him.
he even got a cameo in this!
You should watch Brubaker's interview on Kevin Smith's channel
He makes more from his cameo in this than from creating winter soldier.
@@logansmith2703 Like he said in the interview, that's only because he hasn't gotten shit from the MCU for it. He was offered a "Thank you" check, which pales in comparison to what The Winter Soldier is actually worth.
@@alfreddaniel1994 that isnt what logan said at all. If anything the marvel comics division doesn't pay him if the movie made him more.
I love that Holden does the Jim stare at the camera hahahahahaha
YES I love rewatching the MCU with you Holden. Jen is awesome and gives great answers and responses
The fact that cap saved tony from being shot by his own invention is hilarious to me 26:18 and he never knew it lol
Lol...the pups circling Jen for her snack was great.
That's what my dog does, except she's small and usually hops right in my lap
wait what
One of the technicians/scientists (the bald one with the glasses) in the scene when Bucky is getting reconditioned after his fight with Cap is Ed Brubaker, the writer who co-created the Winter Soldier. He's gotten more money in residuals for that cameo than he's gotten for creating WS.
Oh really! I didn't know that was him! Love his Cap run!
"Is he for real dead?"
She's starting to see a pattern here...
"follows the rules" steve has been breaking every single rule since ca:tfa tho :D
Jen - 'Aw Bucky!'
Holden -'Ye ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)' *looks at the camera*
lmao
Anyone else notice the star wars call back with Sam Jackson when he grabbed the weapon to cut the whole it looked like he was grabbing a light saber. Lol
Or the quote on his tombstone and Pulp Fiction...
The russos said in an interview that they nicknamed that weapon as his "lightsaber" and they wanted to make a little blooper where he pushed the button and a purple lightsaber came out 😂😂 i dont know if they ever did it but i love the idea
Literally never stop with these kind of sponsor skits
I absolutely LOVE the dog just staring and making his way to the treats. 0:30
I kept getting distracted by those cute dogs 😂
Jen: I still see him as a rule follower.
All of us: Hold my Civil War
She’s funny. From the expression on her face during most of the film, I would not have guessed she liked it so much.
that sponsorship message was geniuely one of the best i've ever seen, well done
Based off how Jen likes characters, I’m thinking she’s gonna start to really love Cap come Civil War
Nomad is best Cap
I think not, most of the fans started to hate cap after civilwar including me.
Civil War is what made Cap my favorite character
@@ragasayad5103 you have the right to your opinion but I'm just saying hating cap for 1 mistake and just forgetting about the good he has done is not right, I mean Tony is a good man and a hero but he has also done some shitty things too but he redeemed himself, so if you are a iron man it's just hypocritical to not believe in redemption for keeping a secret while the one you call a hero is responsible for a lot of shit.
@@skywalker6587 iron man or his family created like 6 of the villains in the MCU and that isn't including stane. Mysterio, Zemo, Ultron, vanko and killian. but damn cap makes one error by not saying hydra killed his parents and damn CAP SUCKS! Hopefully the guy you replied to has other reasons than that for hating him.
Not only one of the best MCU films, but one of the best movies... this and civil war are my favourites.
What about Guardians?
@@edoardoprevelato6577 I do love guardians, it’d have to be 3rd on my list
@@TobesOnYT good boy ;)
"I'm with you at the end of the line"
God damn it i cried again.
the joy and enthusiasm on jen's face when she's talking about and looking forward to the next movies is adorable/infectious .... and the best is yet to come
This is the one us BUCKY fans have been waiting for
We are all with him at the end of the line. *salute*
I remember back in the late 60s or early 70s, Marvel published a satirical special issue - I think it was "The Mighty Marvel Achievement Awards" or something like that, and Bucky got an award for staying dead and avoiding the comic book cliche of popular characters who died miraculously coming back to life. I really like Bucky and think he's gone through some of the best character development, so I'm glad he was eventually brought back, but I understand where they were coming from.
I´m so so happy that Jen likes this movie. I was so exited for this reaction but at the same time scared because of what happened when Matt watched it.

didn't she watch wandavision during there reaction?

JESUS REMOVE WANDAVISION AND TFATWS. IT'S A SPOLER THEY'LL SURVIVE INFINITY WAR. YOU DUMB DUMB.
The directors, Joe and Anthony Russo, actually confirmed shield was 1/3 hydra for the commentary of the film’s honest trailer
5:48 That’s George St. Pierre defended the UFC championship belt 13 times.
Also the nicest person in real life
25:18
"Please don't make me do this"
I've heard that line before this week...
I love the comment about Stephen Strange from Holden "You're about 4 years too Early" LMAO only us fan know what he meant
I understood that reference
Its funny how I’ve never noticed the hydra dude say stephen strange in the movie
Love it when Holden say you're about 4 years too early 😂. And whenever Jen asks something he either says you'll see or give the smug smile
Holden, you are the only youtuber I know that can actually make really good sponsers that are engaging. Usually I skip over them but yours I watch
I vividly remember watching this in theaters and freaking out over the Hydra reveal because at the same time I was watching the TV show Agents of Shield and I was like "Omfg how is it going to affect the show?” It ended up being one of the best parts of Agents of Shield.
"Nobody dies in these movies" hmmmm... where did i hear that line
Matt😂😂😂😂
The quote on Fury's tombstone is the beginning of the verse that Jules Winfield (Sam Jackson) says when he's about to kill someone in Pulp Fiction.
I turn 21 in a month and when I saw this movie, I was only 14 years old and watched in the theater the day it came out. He went from being my least favorite Avenger to being my favorite Avenger in a single movie and after revisiting the first Avenger, I really appreciate it in retrospect.
Steve is not "square" he is a military officer of the army where they work differently and there are no hidden side plans that the mission leader does not know. That makes Cap feel disrespected his rank, it's understandable.
Why like Captain America more than any other Marvel super hero is because is has a Stoic mentality. He doesn’t let his emotions control his actions or his speech. He has strong beliefs and to some they be rigid, conforming, and out dated, but he isn’t unwilling to change the way in which he sees things in the world. He treats everyone with respect even those who disagree with him or those he is up against. Hope y’all enjoy watching thru the rest of the MCU movies
Apparently I haven’t watched this movie since Endgame.... because the music in Steve’s apartment when Fury visits him is... familiar.
I realized it in the Matt video and now that scene makes me so happy and sad at the same time.
its in almost every pivotal cap scene through the mcu. so good
it's almost like there was a reason the russos used it in endgame LOL
Her: Now I'm convinced that no one dies in these movies
I've got nothing else to say
Thors mom died in the last movie they watched.
Cries in Vanir
What, you didn’t see that coming?
@@PatLund u do realize what I am talking 'bout right?
@@cauti0n3metal4 I believe so.
So, Iron Man has a ridiculous amount of tech in his suit, but Jen does an eye roll because fury has a gadget that can cut through concrete?
To be fair, it is quite impossible to think he somehow cut through that much concrete with a tool the size of a toothbrush in literally 10 seconds- with that purple lightsaber sure no problem but that’s like shaving your beard with a nose-hair trimmer
I thought he just so happened to crash and end up on top of a manhole and he cut though that.
@@BichaeldeAngelo and in a perfect circle. It would crack.
@@BichaeldeAngelo Do you remember the cutting torch used in the opening of Captain America to cut through the ice and hull of the Valkyrie? Fury had the miniaturized version that is literally in every agents' toolkit in the comics.
@@CaptainFrost32 That’s interesting, I haven’t read the comics on that (I was a Spider-Man guy lol)
George St.Piere was playing Batroc the villain on ship. He's a UFC Champion. In case anyone was asking.
Not telling the Mission Lead (Cap) that one of HIS assets/team members is on a different mission is a HUGE no no in ANY military or espionage endeavor. It's giving you a tool belt but the second you need your screwdriver, it vanished. I understand the 'square' ref, yes, Cap is by the book, mostly, and for a good reason. Oh wait, she's a Tony fan lol Now I get it.
If you didn’t know the scream that plays when the winter soldier is there is bucky’s scream when he falls in the first cap film just slightly changed
I knew Jen is gonna like Black Widow more when watching this movie. Well Jen, you're not wrong. Once you're done with phase 2, you'll get all the juicy bits 😂😂😂
Holden this was one of the best sponsorship clips I've ever seen
Now she needs to see Agents of SHIELD to understand just how terrible the HYDRA infiltration really was
I can remember when this came out in theaters. That next Tuesday when Agents of Shield aired they implemented that Hydra had compromised Shield.
My favorite MCU film! Also its really fun to watch this right now with the Falcon and the Winter Soldier going on
The Hydra agents weren't that many but they were extremely well placed and prepared. Hawkeye was sent on a mission across the globe according to the Russo brothers and all the Hydra agents were concentrated at the headquarters for the big day. "Agents of Shield" covered the attempted coup in detail.
That skillshare ad was the best and most engaging ad I've ever seen Holden Hardman should be very proud of that incredible work.
"Looks like Renata's notta coming home."
"Really?"
"I said what I said."
"They didn't even get to get it on."
"There's still time."
Jen forgot that Steve was about the same age as Peggy. It's only the super soldier serum that kept him physically young.
"Thor Dark world an 8.5? ...ok" 🤣the undertones of that statement lol
Not knowing who Georges St-Pierre is hurt my heart . Best MMA fighter in history if you ask me .
I don't know about all that, but i know what you're saying.
Agreed. Not many fighters get to retire a champ, come back, win again, retire again, come back again, and win again. Guy's a badass
I didn’t know who he was until I saw the BTS but I thought it was cool how happy he was he got to fight Cap.
He's obviously a gymnast.
GSP is the best! Got excited back in 2014 when I saw him show up for the first time, I was glad he was able to translate his talents to something else like this. Great Guy too if you haven’t heard the story he told on Joe Rogan about his childhood bully, I suggest it, made me a bigger fan.
wow this was genuinely the first time i haven't skipped through the video to skip a sponsored ad. people NEED to be this creative and entertaining lmao.
I’ve been rewatching the MCU in order and after I always y’all’s reactions. I love how y’all enjoy these together and seeing how she gradually learns about the MCU is so fun. Thank y’all for making these.
Have Matt watch Daredevil its an amazing show and something he would really like dark, gritty, down to earth and has an ending that is amazing!
*I can attest that there is MAJOR juiciness to come Jen* I also love how practical u r when watching these movies and wanting Fury’s car for the apocalypse 😎🔥🤣 this movie opens up so much that’s to come and can’t wait to continue watching ur reaction 🥰
Samuel L. Jackson’s story about his grandfather is partially true, his grandfather was an elevator operator in real life.
It's funny to me that she views Cap as a "rule follower" when he's the most likely to rebel because of how corrupt the government can be. I mean even in this film he technically wasn't being an obedient soldier, he's constantly questioning what SHIELD is doing and goes into hiding instead of turning himself in or something like that.
It was no secret to those who read the comics that BUcky was going to return, since the reveal is in the title, but our excitement was in seeing every non-comic MCU fan react to him being alive in the first place, so we jsut kinda smiled when the reveal happened and we go "Yep!" BUcky never died, he got captured and brainwashed by HYDRA!
There are people who still get the biggest jaw drop from the reveal that Steve had been battling and chasing his best friend the entire time! I still get a kick out of people when the mask gets ripped off, and there like "Wait, who is that? Steve looks heartbroken, why would he--?"
And then Steve goes "Bucky?!"
I remember being int he theater on opening night, and a whole bunch of people just audibly gasped at seeing Bucky because they had seen the First Avegner movie before it, and I was so giddy with delight! Moments like those make us so happy as Marvel fans!
Plus yeah the movie was a Clancy novel/spy thriller/James Bond political espionage vibe, which i loved!
