I just feel bad that nobody told you the order to watch them in. I get that it’s Chrjs Evans week. There’s plenty of other hotties in the MCU to stare at. 🤣
@@chrismignemi6195 To be fair, it's not that big of a mistake. As long as you watch Iron Man before Iron Man 2 and leave the The Avengers for last, the order of the Phase 1 films doesn't really matter all that much. I mean, the end credit scenes won't sync up, but that's no big deal.
@@chrismignemi6195Honestly I googled which way to do it and it said both ways were fine so I picked chronological order! but then my Patrons said it would be a better experience by order of release :)
In the Captain America comics, Steve is an artist (comics artist) and before the war he painted patriotic murals as part of the Depression-era work programs. After the project makes him a super-soldier, Steve gets to meet President Roosevelt. Steve tells him he doesn't feel worthy of all the attention as "Captain America". Roosevelt says: "Steve, I've seen those murals you painted." "You were Captain America before you ever got that serum."
One of the things I love about the Grenade scene is that when everyone scatters, it's not just Steve who moves to dive on the grenade, Peggy does too. She and Steve have the same heart, the same reaction, to protect other people.
There was no way Peggy knew it was a dud. Had she been talking with Erskine and Phillips when Phillips did it, yeah. But she was leading the candidates in their exercise and wasn't even looking at those two. She just heard "grenade!" and reacted. She stops because Steve beat her to the grenade being much closer.
Chris Evans said in an interview that, because he isn't as buff when he's not doing the intense training to play Captain America, some people who met him right after this movie became a hit didn't believe it was him. He told the interviewer "I have accepted the fact that I am a physical disappointment to my fans when they meet me." That was pretty funny.
The reason release order is necessary is because each movie has end credit scenes that give a lead into the next movie. So don't forget to look for the end credit scenes (sometimes more than one), also look for the Stan Lee cameos in each film. In this movie he was the military officer at the awards ceremony that said, "I thought he'd be taller".
Glad to hear you decided on release order. Recall what Erskine said, that the serum made bad worse, and good better. Schmidt was already an evil man, ergo he became worse. If I understand it correctly, Cap is not unkillable, just very healthy. The epitome of human ability, as it were. In this case, instead of freezing to death, the crash put him into some sort of frozen sleep. This, by the way, was how Stan Lee re-introduced a WW2 era comic book hero to a modern audience in the early 60s. The Avengers found a frozen Steve Rogers and thawed him out.
This is one of my favorite movies in the whole MCU. I remember being horrified at first, when I heard Chris Evans was cast, because I'd only seen him as the Human Torch in The Fantastic Four. I didn't think he could do a serious role, but I was very happy to be proven wrong.
A fun but short series you would probably enjoy is Agent Carter, both Haley Atwell and Dominic Cooper reprise their roles as Peggy and Howard. It takes place after the war in NYC and is a great action, adventure romp that ran for 2 seasons, for a total of 18 episodes, which on the plus side is less intimidating than jumping into Agents of Shield, which while it is another great series and even plays into and off of the events of the movies starting after Iron Man 3, it ran for 7 seasons and 136 episode.
One theory I've heard was that the boy with the shield was Phil Colson. And the reason he survived Loki's attack in the Avengers, ( and was resurrected in the Agents of Shield tv series), was that he had an experimental and weaker version of the super soldier serum using Steve's genetic code from his blood samples. So he didn't age as fast as other 70 year Olds. It kinda makes sense since Colson had the Captain America Trading Cards, and wanted Steve to autograph them.
I'm also a big fan of the movie & character of Steve. FYI; Peggy Carter got her own series for one dismal season. The writers never really let her shine, as she so clearly did in this series.
Great Reaction! BTW, at the end of each Movie, they show an "Easter Egg" which references the Next Movie, either through a Cameo or a Clip of the next one. There's a Specific Person that makes a Cameo Appearance in Each Movie... Stan Lee, One of the Creators of these Marvel Characters (He was the General That Thought "He'd be Taller")..
An excellent review of the film there in your comments at the end. Dr. Erskine told Steve that the serum enhances the quality of the individual. Good becomes great. Bad becomes worse. The Red Skull was not a good person so the serum made him even worse of a person. Steve, on the other hand, and as you pointed out, exhibited good qualities. He was already selfless and looked to serve others. He put their well being over his own (the test with the dummy grenade). When asked if he wanted to kill Nazis, he replied that he didn't want to kill anyone. He just wanted to do what was right and good. This made him the perfect choice to be the ultimate Super Soldier. The Captain America movie series are my favorite of all the MCU movies and Chris Evans was the perfect choice for the role. I'm very excited to see you're dipping your feet into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Buckle in, m'lady. You're in for a wild ride! Looking forward to your next reaction. I know you'll love them all.
Fury said almost 70 years, so I will take 68 years... if Steve froze maybe a year before the end of WW2... maybe around 1944 + 68 = 2012. So if Steve and Peggy are around ages 24 - 26. Peggy might be dead or might be... 93-ish. My grandma just had her 95th birthday... She still lives mostly alone up in Maine, except during the winter... then she lives with family for 2-3 months in New Jersey.
Theres a 12 hour cut called avengers assembled. It's most the movies in chronological order. It starts w thor and Odin then goes to ww2 captain america parts of antman and winter soldier into iron man
Hey, Evie! Chronologically, this is the first MCU film set from 1942-1945 excepting the two framing scenes set in 2011. I feel it's an overlooked gem that establishes so many future films and introduces the moral center of the Marvel Universe. Much like in the film, Steve Rogers is a character plucked from a different era in Marvel's publishing history. In the 1940's, Marvel was known as Timely Comics and sought to produce a patriotic propaganda character to raise awareness of Nazi aggression in Europe. Writer Joe Simon and artist Jack Kirby came up with Captain America whose first issue in 1941 featured a cover that had Cap socking Hitler in the jaw! It was an immediate sensation and flew off the racks! Cap came with a triangular shield and a teen sidekick called Bucky but had the shield design changed to a circular shape in the second issue because of complaints of copying the triangular design of another company's patriotic character. A young staff writer called Stan Lee had Cap sling his shield as a trademark offensive maneuver in a text-only filler story in the third issue! As popular as the comic proved to be, it also drew criticism for its pro-war position as many Americans wanted to remain neutral in Europe's war. Angry protestors gathered outside Timely's offices and NYC Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia had to post police protection for the building. Simon and Kirby collaborated on the first ten issues. Decades later, when Lee and Kirby created the Marvel Universe in 1961, three characters were plucked from the Timely Golden Age and dropped into the Marvel Silver Age: the android Human Torch, Prince Namor of Atlantis and Captain America. The super-soldier was found by the Avengers in ice-bound suspended animation in the North Atlantic where he had disappeared thwarting an act of aerial terror at the end of World War II. The founding Avengers were Iron Man, Thor, Ant-Man, Wasp and Hulk but, after their discovery of Steve in the fourth issue, Cap became a mainstay of the team often leading them as Chairman. Director Joe Johnston had experience with pulpy period earnestness with "The Rocketeer" and infuses this film with the charm of that one while also incorporating much of Cap's publishing history into the character's on-screen biography. The entire propaganda sequence brilliantly incorporates the Hitler punch and his triangular shield. His scrawny origin as a Depression-era kid from Brooklyn who likes to draw, his multiple attempts to enlist, his training under Colonel Chester Phillips at Camp Lehigh, Abraham Erskine's super-soldier experiment and his nemesis Red Skull are all very comic accurate. The cinematography has a desaturated sepia quality to it that evokes the past. Marvel had a World War II-era comic called "Sergeant Fury and the Howling Commandos". Comic Nick Fury is a World War II veteran whose vigor has been maintained by a diluted form of the super-soldier serum called the Infinity Formula. The squad he led was a diverse group that consisted of bowler hat-wearing Boston Irish Timothy 'Dum Dum' Dugan, African-American Gabe Jones, New York Jew Izzy Cohen, Japanese-American Jim Morita, Italian-American Dino Manelli, Southerner Rob 'Rebel' Ralston, Brit Percival 'Pinky' Pinkerton, German defector Eric Koenig and greenhorn Johnny 'Junior' Juniper. They were occasionally aided by French Resistance fighter Jacques 'Frenchie' Dernier. Fury's team answered to General Samuel 'Happy Sam' Sawyer who had a stony disposition. Johnston notably includes James Montgomery Falsworth's Union Jack as part of the team! Union Jack was a British nobleman and costumed adventurer during World War I who came out of retirement to lend Cap a hand in World War II. Despite an incomplete roster, Johnston brings the Howling Commandos to life fighting side-by-side with Cap! The cast is incredible! This was Chris Evan's second stab at superheroics and he was reluctant to put on the spandex again. However, Robert Downey, Jr. convinced him and the role of Steve Rogers aka Captain America fit like a glove. Sebastian Stan's brotherly love as James Buchanan 'Bucky' Barnes comes through as does Hayley Atwell's sympathy and fire as Peggy Carter. Stanley Tucci as Dr. Abraham Erskine, Tommy Lee Jones as Col. Chester Phillips, Dominic Cooper as young Howard Stark, Toby Jones as Dr. Arnim Zola and Hugo Weaving as Johann Schmidt aka the Red Skull round out the cast. Lending support as the Howling Commandos are Neal McDonough as Dugan, Derek Luke as Jones, Kenneth Choi as Morita, Bruno Ricci as Dernier and J.J. Feild as Falsworth aka Union Jack. Richard Armitage of "The Hobbit" ensures the serum will never be replicated as Hydra assassin Heinz Kruger. Natalie Dormer and David Bradley of "Game of Thrones" pop up in small roles as a man-eating WAC and a grizzled Norwegian, respectively. William Hope of "Aliens" has a bit part as the SHIELD officer overseeing Cap's excavation and Laura Haddock makes her film debut as an autograph seeker. Naturally, Samuel L. Jackson shows up as Col. Nick Fury to put in his two-cents. The screenplay brilliantly integrates Howard Stark, substitutes the Tesseract for the traditional Cap MacGuffin, the Cosmic Cube, links the Tesseract to Asgard, ages up Bucky and incorporates Peggy Carter from comic Cap's wartime flashbacks. Erskine's pep talk the night before the procedure is so crucial as to why Steve is a hero and his benefactor's wisdom echoes throughout the rest of Cap's life: "Whatever happens tomorrow, you must promise me one thing: that you will stay who you are; not a perfect soldier but a good man." Steve's tactical acumen is demonstrated by his unorthodox solution to the flagpole challenge which earns him a ride with Peggy and her admiration. It's reminiscent of Alexander's brilliantly direct solution of slicing through the Gordian Knot. Steve's inability to quit against impossible odds is established by his boast "I can do this all day." Finally, Steve's forlorn "I had a date." is so laden with unfulfilled promise and poignancy. TRIVIA: 1. James Howlett aka Wolverine and Max Eisenhardt aka Magneto were to have cameos as a soldier and as a concentration camp prisoner, respectively, but the characters were owned by 20th-Century Fox and could not be used. 2. Hayley Atwell tentatively touching Steve's chest post-transformation was not scripted but was the actress' genuine awestruck reaction to Chris Evans' physique. EASTER EGGS: 1. Encased in a glass chamber at the World Expo is Phineas Horton's Synthetic Man, the android Human Torch. This is one of the three Timely-era characters resurrected along with Namor and Cap for Silver Age Marvel Comics in the '60's. 2. Kenneth Choi plays Howling Commando Jim Morita's grandson as well when he appears as the principal of Peter Parker's school in "Spider-Man: Homecoming". 3. Captain America autograph seeker Laura Haddock has been confirmed as Meredith Quill's grandmother since Haddock also played Meredith in "Guardians of the Galaxy". That would make her Peter Quill's great-grandmother. CAMEO: 1. Stan Lee appears as a General at the Washington award ceremony where Cap is a no-show commenting on how he thought the super-soldier would be taller when he mistakes the panicked handler who rushes onstage for the Captain. Lol. END-CREDIT SCENES: 1. The first end-credit scene is just an excerpted clip from "Avengers". 2. The second end-credit scene is a sizzle reel of "Avengers". The next chronological stop in the MCU is Season 1 of the "Agent Carter" TV series.
@@PJAvenger Yes, that is true but the movie's main story takes place in 2023. The flashbacks are set at different times in the past including 5000 BC, 575 BC, AD 400 and 1521. Aside from the framing scenes in 2011, this movie's main story is set from 1942-1945.
The bad guy Red Skulls has been in lots of movies he name is Hugo Weaving who was in The Matrix as Agent Smith and V for Vendetta and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. He Australia actor. Love comment about asthma inhaler but the inhaler we know wasn't invented until the 50's which is after this war in history.
I’m glad you decided to watch in release order. Chronological order for first time viewing I think can lessons the impact of scenes because you don’t have familiarity with the characters that they built up as the movies were being released (missed references to items or people as well). Plus it’s how the filmmakers planned the stories out and intended them to be viewed.
Dairy much like meat was rationed during the war, so offering him milk with the meal was a symbolic gesture to show he could get him luxury items if he cooperated.
Evie!! So happy to have you board this train! And because we love Steve so much we'll forgive you for getting this movie out of order 😁❤ So hyped and I haven't even started the movie reaction yet
Great Reaction Video...... His Heart/Mentality are what make him "Special"....... BTW.... All the MCU movies have teasers in the end credits about next/upcoming movies.......

I can personally guarantee you that if you keep watching these, the views will only grow. MCU fans are fanatics for reactions and you seem to be a great reactress for these. Excited to see more!
As I understand it, the serum stopped the ice from killing him or causing any other damage, and that allowed the ice to stop anything else from happening, like starving or aging.
It isn't absorbent... he was simplifying for someone (Steve) he considered not super smart (Stark even says as much with that 'I doubt Rogers picked up on that' line). I think the shields geometry makes hits to the front send the energy at a roughly 90º angle to the edges of the shield (spoilers - see Avengers 1). But the crystalline geometry of the shield behaves differently if force is applied to the edges (as when he bounces it off things). In those cases, it act more like a reflective material (like so called 'Liquid Metal' ). I have thought about this a bit, but am too lazy currently to make a RUclips video about it. In neither of those cases does it 'absorb' energy... it redirects it, which makes more sense with the shields observed behavior. Other forms of Vibranium probably behave very differently based on their particular crystalline geometry.
what's interesting about Cap being frozen & then coming back decades later is that in the original comics Cap went on ice in the 40's & was found again in the 60's so he was only on ice for 20 years then but with the passage of time the amount of time he has to spend in ice has to keep increasing for him to come back in present day like at the end of this where it's been 70 years, & if they make a new Captain America franchise in the 2040's he'll have to have been on ice for 100+ years because his origin will always have to be in WWII
I love that you're reacting to these, even if I am late to the party. At least I have a lot of content to catch up on. @22:00 "I guess he didn't want the medal." This is certainly what was intended by the scene and it's how most of the audience understood it. It's also probably the biggest single mistake in the film. Soldiers who win the really big medals -- Bronze Star, Medal of Honor, etc -- rarely want them. They wear them to honour the people who can't. When you get a medal because you saved three people, you're thinking about the five who died before you got there. Civilians reward the heroes; heroes honour everyone who served and isn't on that stage.
I believe the serum gave him superior physical abilities just like Captain Rogers'. The reason why they said it was not ready is because it caused him also some deformities, including that face that in the Comics gave him the name of Red Skull.
I usually like the first, introductory film for each superhero the best. I like the human interest part of the story. Sometimes, in the subsequent movies, the hero becomes too powerful and things don't make as much sense.
The outdoor Brooklyn scenes were filmed in the Northern Quarter, Manchester, England. They swapped some signs, parked period cars, and had WW2 Brooklyn. I’ve often parked my car in one of the locations to go shopping, wandered round others to get to bars. It’s always strange seeing them as Brooklyn. In another hundred years they’ll probably still look the same.
Great reactions Evie! I just discovered your channel, and what a great time to join you: at the start of your MCU journey!! Captain America is my favorite of the "classic" Avengers, and you saw many of the reasons why in this movie. I also agree with those who have recommended watching in release order, not chronological order; the flow of the cinematic journey will make much more sense. I love how engaged you are with the movie and the characters! You have a new subscriber! 😊
I am so glad you’re going to do the MCU!! Follow the dates when they were released. That’s the easiest way to watch!! I can’t wait for you to see Winter Soldier, one of the best movies of the whole MCU
Here are some interesting tidbits from the history of Captain America and the Red Skull. Originally, in the comics, the super soldier serum just corrected everything that was wrong with Steve's sickly body and made him physically perfect. He didn't gain borderline super human abilities until the 1970s when he was injected with a snake venom that should have been fatal, but instead, it interacted with the super soldier serum and greatly enhanced his abilities. I recall him saying he was happy about it because he had previously often felt like he was "just a costumed athlete." Somewhere in comics history the canon changed so that the near super human strength, speed, stamina, healing, etc. were inherent effects of the serum. BTW I've mentioned the physical effects, but the serum also enhances Steve's mental abilities so he can analyze a tactical situation and form a strategy instantly. The Red Skull in the comics was originally just a regular (though psychopathic) man in a mask. He survived from the end of WW@ into the 1960s buried in an underground bunker without dying or aging because an allied bombing had caused the leakage of an experimental gas which put him into suspended animation. Decades later, as he continued to age (and Steve didn't because of the super soldier serum), he became old and frail and died. However, the Skull had Dr. Zola (who had transferred his own consciousness into a really goofy looking robot body) transfer his consciousness into a new body cloned from tissue samples the Skull had obtained from Captain America in one of their many encounters in the comics. After that, he had the same enhanced abilities as Captain America. For a while, he looked just like Steve, but when he tried to surprise attack Captain America with a toxin which killed its victim and made their face shrivel and turn red so it looked like a red skull (a blatant ripoff of the Joker's Joker gas from the Batman comics), Cap smashed the trick cigarette holder the Skull meant to spray the toxin from, and the Skull got a facefull of his own poison instead. The super soldier serum saved his life, but thereafter, he was permanently scarred with a Red Skull face. In 1990, the terrible Captain America movie starring Matt Salinger (in which the Red Skull was portrayed as an Italian F@sci$t instead of a German N@zi) introduced the idea that the Skull was the first person to get the not yet perfected super soldier serum and as a result got a deformed skull face along with enhanced abilities. This concept of the Skull being essentially the evil version of Captain America made such perfect sense that it became canon in the comics and the movies. Looking back to the cloned body version of the Red Skull for an interesting aside: there was an extended story arc in which Steve and the Skull were dying, because after so many decades, the super soldier serum had mutated and was killing them. With the scientific genius superheroes unable to find a cure, Steve traveled the country looking for a new young hero who could replace him after his death and making peace with his long and complicated past. Meanwhile the Skull, unfettered by ethics, was using ruthless inhumane experimentation to find a cure. When the end was near for him and Steve, he used Steve as the final human guinea pig to test the cure. The cure worked, and the Skull ended up saving the life of his greatest enemy to save his own.
As a rule of thumb, if you are aware the movie is part of a larger story, it is safest to assume "release order" very seldom is "in-movie chronological order" the best. Generally they were released in that order for a reason. It's like watching the in-universe chronological movie before the 1st release order movie, which in turn creates a spoiler of the big reveal in the 3rd released movie (6th chronologically) Everyone who knows, will know exactly which series I'm referencing. 3:30 "If you had asthma, you couldn't enlist?" If you're putting together an army, to face the massive battle force marching across half a continent, and you want to stop that force. You want every able bodied, capable soldier you can get. If your men are on foot, they can only move as fast as their slowest member, otherwise they become spread out and easy to pick off. In the heat of a prolonged fight, you need men with stamina, able to keep fighting. There were many conditions that would make one ineligible. (breathing issues, stamina issues, restricted movement, inability to operate a rifle effectively (such as a missing thumb) 7:40-7:45 "He's got Asthma. Get him... an inhaler." 1. this is early 1940s, the first "inhaler" was invented in 1952 2. He wouldn't be there if his asthma and other issues were reported, and falsifying the enlistment documents is a crime.
Fun reaction! I was really pleasantly surprised by this movie when it first came out. And the casting was perfect. (Something Marvel seems to get right again and again.) Glad you'll be switching to release order, I think it's a more rewarding experience in a "peeling the layers of an onion" sort of way. Now, as others have mentioned, you need to go brush up on your "Spotting Stan Lee" skills. 🔍
Hi Evie! Welcome to Marvel! I recommend you watch these in the order in which the movies were released, because the movies that were released later assume viewers have seen the earlier ones. For example, the eyepatch guy at the end (Samuel L. Jackson) was first introduced in earlier movies. Captain America is only the "first" avenger in that his origin is in the 1940s. Whichever way you do it, though, it'll be a fun ride. Enjoy!
Being a hero means willingness to sacrifice something that no other wants to for greater good.But when the people who sacrificed for you feel ashamed seeing the people they sacrificed for thats when you need to check yourself
Love to see your reactions on this fantastic universe. And advice I can give you is to watch them not chronologicaly but by release. New sub fo sho! ^^
The main difference between Captain America (Steve Rodgers) and Tony Stark, is in their ego. Tony Stark is like, Donald Trump. And Steve Rodgers is like, Audie Murphy. Yeah I know, who? Audie Murphy was America's most decorated WWII hero. They even made a movie about him (To Hell And Back), in which he starred. Audie was a real life Captain America. Though without the drugs, and the asthma. Audie left us in 1971, but I'm sure he, and all veterans, would be honored if you do a reaction to his movie as it is, a true story.
You might want to remember the after credit scenes you missed that connect the movies but you are watching in the wrong order so you get spoilers in the one you already missed
Regarding Enlistment: Since a qualitty a soldier needs is self sufficiency and being a member of a team, you have to have people are able bodied to begin with. The army needs simple reliability not subject to failing randomly at potentially critical moments as an asthma attack or other imperfection might cause.
The main Hydra base where Red Skull had his operations was located in the Austrian Alps, and would have only been a few miles from the resl location of Hitler's Eagle's Nest retreat.
Personally, I think the biggest tragedy is the fact that growing up Steve eschewed from alcohol for moral reasons, and after the procedure he can't get drunk, so at present viewing, he has yet to feel what being drunk is.
Asthma would not usually warrant a 4F, but it would usually prevent full duty. A WW2 enllistee faced a lot of bad conditions, and many drugs of the era had to be refrigerated. If any of his myriad of ailments flared up, not just asthma, he would likely die before he got to where the medications were. And he would take two other men off the line to carry and transport him.
Oops! It looks like you missed the end-credits scene! Almost all MCU films have at least one -- and some have several -- so be sure not to forget them in the future! (They're not all equally important, but they can still be fun.) Also be on the lookout for cameos by Stan Lee. Not a big deal if you don't, but it can be a fun little "Easter Egg."
Very Important...... please watch the end credit scenes...... some movies have multiple end credit scenes. Yay!! Iron Man. I look forward to watching these with you.
With the MCU there's usually end credit scenes, one or two after The only time this doesn't happen is after endgame, but that's a small spoiler to save you time so i hope it doesn't matter. Be sure to watch the end credit scenes to get you hyped for the next upcoming movie.
great reaction you've got a new subscriber now 👍🏼 just to make you remember there is multiple end credit scenes everytime so make sure to check it too lol
In the 1940s the only treatments for an asthma attack were either epinephrine injections (like we do for severe allergic reactions now) and aminophylline tablets or suppositories. It wasn't something you could give a soldier on the march if they had an issue ("Hol' up guys! I got to shove this up my ass! "). exacerbating that was that in WWI the use of gases in attacks had become more commonplace in warfare. For those reason asthma was a disqualifier.
you'll definitely want to watch these in their release order, not in there chronological order. they are specifically meant to be done that way, you actually will kind of screw up the watching experience for yourself by trying to take them in their timeline, and not the order of release. with that said, glad you enjoyed the movie, and your reaction was great!
I enjoyed your reaction very much, but agree with the others that release date is by far the best way to watch the MCU! Having said that, by now I am sure you are aware you need to watch the end credit scenes, so when you have finished Thor come back and watch this post credit scene before diving into The Avengers!!
I love your channel!😂 I'm so glad that a young lady appreciates a comedy. Many go woke, and fall flat, because it's mainly bullshit. You're different and awesome! Keep it up!
Not being able to join the army with asthma is common, im from Sweden and here you can't even join the army if you got ADHD/ADD to a point where you need medication.. Cause out on the field you don't have access to those types of medication🤷♂
I love your accent that I can hear now and then :) For a movie reaction: I can recommend The Blind Side (2009), it is based on a real story, I think you might like it alot.
An average kid from 1940s Brooklyn would not know what "fondue" was. It wasn't something widely known among common folk in the US until maybe the late 1950s or early 1960s. That's why it's a joke.
** FOR FUTURE MCU MOVIE REACTIONS** I will be watching them in order of release so when I get back into it I'll be watching the first Iron Man movie!
In case you don't already have it, here's the full list in release order through 2022:
Marvel Cinematic Universe (Stage 1, Phase 1)
I just feel bad that nobody told you the order to watch them in. I get that it’s Chrjs Evans week. There’s plenty of other hotties in the MCU to stare at. 🤣
@@chrismignemi6195 To be fair, it's not that big of a mistake. As long as you watch Iron Man before Iron Man 2 and leave the The Avengers for last, the order of the Phase 1 films doesn't really matter all that much. I mean, the end credit scenes won't sync up, but that's no big deal.
@@chrismignemi6195Honestly I googled which way to do it and it said both ways were fine so I picked chronological order! but then my Patrons said it would be a better experience by order of release :)
Please start by watching Hulk (2003) first!
“ I had a date” gets me every time.
In the Captain America comics, Steve is an artist (comics artist) and before the war he painted patriotic murals as part of the Depression-era work programs.
After the project makes him a super-soldier, Steve gets to meet President Roosevelt.
Steve tells him he doesn't feel worthy of all the attention as "Captain America".
Roosevelt says: "Steve, I've seen those murals you painted."
"You were Captain America before you ever got that serum."
He had a pure heart and strong will. The rest of his body just needed to catch up
@@colleenross8752Both of you made me cry. 🥲
The comics always give captain America justice. He's more than just a natural born goodie two shoes
One of the things I love about the Grenade scene is that when everyone scatters, it's not just Steve who moves to dive on the grenade, Peggy does too. She and Steve have the same heart, the same reaction, to protect other people.
I like that part too.
But . . . don't you think she knows the grenades aren't real? She seems to be proficient in arms and training.
@@davers59 And she's been with that group for long enough to know they use dummy training grenades. She isn't dumb.
I think she moves instinctively then remembers it's a dummy grenade and stops, which allows Steve to jump on it.
There was no way Peggy knew it was a dud. Had she been talking with Erskine and Phillips when Phillips did it, yeah. But she was leading the candidates in their exercise and wasn't even looking at those two. She just heard "grenade!" and reacted. She stops because Steve beat her to the grenade being much closer.
Chris Evans said in an interview that, because he isn't as buff when he's not doing the intense training to play Captain America, some people who met him right after this movie became a hit didn't believe it was him. He told the interviewer "I have accepted the fact that I am a physical disappointment to my fans when they meet me." That was pretty funny.
From the guy with thousands of female thirst tweets...
As a guy roughly skinny Steve's size I'd still be impressed by "normal" Chris Evans' physique.
@@nivekian REALIY for many guys who actually ARE BUFFED is ... they are still being "dissed" and judged badly by women.

The reason release order is necessary is because each movie has end credit scenes that give a lead into the next movie. So don't forget to look for the end credit scenes (sometimes more than one), also look for the Stan Lee cameos in each film. In this movie he was the military officer at the awards ceremony that said, "I thought he'd be taller".
Glad to hear you decided on release order.
Recall what Erskine said, that the serum made bad worse, and good better. Schmidt was already an evil man, ergo he became worse.
If I understand it correctly, Cap is not unkillable, just very healthy. The epitome of human ability, as it were. In this case, instead of freezing to death, the crash put him into some sort of frozen sleep.
This, by the way, was how Stan Lee re-introduced a WW2 era comic book hero to a modern audience in the early 60s. The Avengers found a frozen Steve Rogers and thawed him out.
This is one of my favorite movies in the whole MCU. I remember being horrified at first, when I heard Chris Evans was cast, because I'd only seen him as the Human Torch in The Fantastic Four. I didn't think he could do a serious role, but I was very happy to be proven wrong.
If Steve Rodgers isn't the most likeable character of all time, idk who is.
I used to not like captain America, but then, this movie made me respect him. "The weakest man, knows the value of strength" so beautiful....
Cap's not immortal but he's strong enough to survive the freezing. That's why he's alive.
A fun but short series you would probably enjoy is Agent Carter, both Haley Atwell and Dominic Cooper reprise their roles as Peggy and Howard. It takes place after the war in NYC and is a great action, adventure romp that ran for 2 seasons, for a total of 18 episodes, which on the plus side is less intimidating than jumping into Agents of Shield, which while it is another great series and even plays into and off of the events of the movies starting after Iron Man 3, it ran for 7 seasons and 136 episode.
That ending with the boys running around pretending to be Captain America is inspiring and just cool.
One theory I've heard was that the boy with the shield was Phil Colson.
And the reason he survived Loki's attack in the Avengers, ( and was resurrected in the Agents of Shield tv series), was that he had an experimental and weaker version of the super soldier serum using Steve's genetic code from his blood samples. So he didn't age as fast as other 70 year Olds.
It kinda makes sense since Colson had the Captain America Trading Cards, and wanted Steve to autograph them.
I'm also a big fan of the movie & character of Steve. FYI; Peggy Carter got her own series for one dismal season. The writers never really let her shine, as she so clearly did in this series.
Great Reaction!
BTW, at the end of each Movie, they show an "Easter Egg" which references the Next Movie, either through a Cameo or a Clip of the next one.
There's a Specific Person that makes a Cameo Appearance in Each Movie... Stan Lee, One of the Creators of these Marvel Characters (He was the General That Thought "He'd be Taller")..
Skipping the end credit in this case was a good thing though as she hasn't seen the others... that was really the biggest spoiler point.
“The team he _assembled_ is really good” and they only get better 😌
An excellent review of the film there in your comments at the end. Dr. Erskine told Steve that the serum enhances the quality of the individual. Good becomes great. Bad becomes worse. The Red Skull was not a good person so the serum made him even worse of a person. Steve, on the other hand, and as you pointed out, exhibited good qualities. He was already selfless and looked to serve others. He put their well being over his own (the test with the dummy grenade). When asked if he wanted to kill Nazis, he replied that he didn't want to kill anyone. He just wanted to do what was right and good. This made him the perfect choice to be the ultimate Super Soldier. The Captain America movie series are my favorite of all the MCU movies and Chris Evans was the perfect choice for the role. I'm very excited to see you're dipping your feet into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Buckle in, m'lady. You're in for a wild ride! Looking forward to your next reaction. I know you'll love them all.
Fury said almost 70 years, so I will take 68 years... if Steve froze maybe a year before the end of WW2... maybe around 1944 + 68 = 2012. So if Steve and Peggy are around ages 24 - 26. Peggy might be dead or might be... 93-ish. My grandma just had her 95th birthday... She still lives mostly alone up in Maine, except during the winter... then she lives with family for 2-3 months in New Jersey.
13:30 The taxicab door Steve uses as a shield has a star in the middle. The second foreshadowing of his eventual shield design.
Theres a 12 hour cut called avengers assembled. It's most the movies in chronological order. It starts w thor and Odin then goes to ww2 captain america parts of antman and winter soldier into iron man
Hey, Evie! Chronologically, this is the first MCU film set from 1942-1945 excepting the two framing scenes set in 2011. I feel it's an overlooked gem that establishes so many future films and introduces the moral center of the Marvel Universe.
Much like in the film, Steve Rogers is a character plucked from a different era in Marvel's publishing history. In the 1940's, Marvel was known as Timely Comics and sought to produce a patriotic propaganda character to raise awareness of Nazi aggression in Europe. Writer Joe Simon and artist Jack Kirby came up with Captain America whose first issue in 1941 featured a cover that had Cap socking Hitler in the jaw! It was an immediate sensation and flew off the racks! Cap came with a triangular shield and a teen sidekick called Bucky but had the shield design changed to a circular shape in the second issue because of complaints of copying the triangular design of another company's patriotic character. A young staff writer called Stan Lee had Cap sling his shield as a trademark offensive maneuver in a text-only filler story in the third issue! As popular as the comic proved to be, it also drew criticism for its pro-war position as many Americans wanted to remain neutral in Europe's war. Angry protestors gathered outside Timely's offices and NYC Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia had to post police protection for the building. Simon and Kirby collaborated on the first ten issues. Decades later, when Lee and Kirby created the Marvel Universe in 1961, three characters were plucked from the Timely Golden Age and dropped into the Marvel Silver Age: the android Human Torch, Prince Namor of Atlantis and Captain America. The super-soldier was found by the Avengers in ice-bound suspended animation in the North Atlantic where he had disappeared thwarting an act of aerial terror at the end of World War II. The founding Avengers were Iron Man, Thor, Ant-Man, Wasp and Hulk but, after their discovery of Steve in the fourth issue, Cap became a mainstay of the team often leading them as Chairman.
Director Joe Johnston had experience with pulpy period earnestness with "The Rocketeer" and infuses this film with the charm of that one while also incorporating much of Cap's publishing history into the character's on-screen biography. The entire propaganda sequence brilliantly incorporates the Hitler punch and his triangular shield. His scrawny origin as a Depression-era kid from Brooklyn who likes to draw, his multiple attempts to enlist, his training under Colonel Chester Phillips at Camp Lehigh, Abraham Erskine's super-soldier experiment and his nemesis Red Skull are all very comic accurate. The cinematography has a desaturated sepia quality to it that evokes the past.
Marvel had a World War II-era comic called "Sergeant Fury and the Howling Commandos". Comic Nick Fury is a World War II veteran whose vigor has been maintained by a diluted form of the super-soldier serum called the Infinity Formula. The squad he led was a diverse group that consisted of bowler hat-wearing Boston Irish Timothy 'Dum Dum' Dugan, African-American Gabe Jones, New York Jew Izzy Cohen, Japanese-American Jim Morita, Italian-American Dino Manelli, Southerner Rob 'Rebel' Ralston, Brit Percival 'Pinky' Pinkerton, German defector Eric Koenig and greenhorn Johnny 'Junior' Juniper. They were occasionally aided by French Resistance fighter Jacques 'Frenchie' Dernier. Fury's team answered to General Samuel 'Happy Sam' Sawyer who had a stony disposition. Johnston notably includes James Montgomery Falsworth's Union Jack as part of the team! Union Jack was a British nobleman and costumed adventurer during World War I who came out of retirement to lend Cap a hand in World War II. Despite an incomplete roster, Johnston brings the Howling Commandos to life fighting side-by-side with Cap!
The cast is incredible! This was Chris Evan's second stab at superheroics and he was reluctant to put on the spandex again. However, Robert Downey, Jr. convinced him and the role of Steve Rogers aka Captain America fit like a glove. Sebastian Stan's brotherly love as James Buchanan 'Bucky' Barnes comes through as does Hayley Atwell's sympathy and fire as Peggy Carter. Stanley Tucci as Dr. Abraham Erskine, Tommy Lee Jones as Col. Chester Phillips, Dominic Cooper as young Howard Stark, Toby Jones as Dr. Arnim Zola and Hugo Weaving as Johann Schmidt aka the Red Skull round out the cast. Lending support as the Howling Commandos are Neal McDonough as Dugan, Derek Luke as Jones, Kenneth Choi as Morita, Bruno Ricci as Dernier and J.J. Feild as Falsworth aka Union Jack. Richard Armitage of "The Hobbit" ensures the serum will never be replicated as Hydra assassin Heinz Kruger. Natalie Dormer and David Bradley of "Game of Thrones" pop up in small roles as a man-eating WAC and a grizzled Norwegian, respectively. William Hope of "Aliens" has a bit part as the SHIELD officer overseeing Cap's excavation and Laura Haddock makes her film debut as an autograph seeker. Naturally, Samuel L. Jackson shows up as Col. Nick Fury to put in his two-cents.
The screenplay brilliantly integrates Howard Stark, substitutes the Tesseract for the traditional Cap MacGuffin, the Cosmic Cube, links the Tesseract to Asgard, ages up Bucky and incorporates Peggy Carter from comic Cap's wartime flashbacks. Erskine's pep talk the night before the procedure is so crucial as to why Steve is a hero and his benefactor's wisdom echoes throughout the rest of Cap's life: "Whatever happens tomorrow, you must promise me one thing: that you will stay who you are; not a perfect soldier but a good man." Steve's tactical acumen is demonstrated by his unorthodox solution to the flagpole challenge which earns him a ride with Peggy and her admiration. It's reminiscent of Alexander's brilliantly direct solution of slicing through the Gordian Knot. Steve's inability to quit against impossible odds is established by his boast "I can do this all day." Finally, Steve's forlorn "I had a date." is so laden with unfulfilled promise and poignancy.
TRIVIA:
1. James Howlett aka Wolverine and Max Eisenhardt aka Magneto were to have cameos as a soldier and as a concentration camp prisoner, respectively, but the characters were owned by 20th-Century Fox and could not be used.
2. Hayley Atwell tentatively touching Steve's chest post-transformation was not scripted but was the actress' genuine awestruck reaction to Chris Evans' physique.
EASTER EGGS:
1. Encased in a glass chamber at the World Expo is Phineas Horton's Synthetic Man, the android Human Torch. This is one of the three Timely-era characters resurrected along with Namor and Cap for Silver Age Marvel Comics in the '60's.
2. Kenneth Choi plays Howling Commando Jim Morita's grandson as well when he appears as the principal of Peter Parker's school in "Spider-Man: Homecoming".
3. Captain America autograph seeker Laura Haddock has been confirmed as Meredith Quill's grandmother since Haddock also played Meredith in "Guardians of the Galaxy". That would make her Peter Quill's great-grandmother.
CAMEO:
1. Stan Lee appears as a General at the Washington award ceremony where Cap is a no-show commenting on how he thought the super-soldier would be taller when he mistakes the panicked handler who rushes onstage for the Captain. Lol.
END-CREDIT SCENES:
1. The first end-credit scene is just an excerpted clip from "Avengers".
2. The second end-credit scene is a sizzle reel of "Avengers".
The next chronological stop in the MCU is Season 1 of the "Agent Carter" TV series.
That's a lot of text isn't it. Eternals started 5,000 years ago (or so) - way before any other MCU movie in the 616 timeline.
@@PJAvenger Yes, that is true but the movie's main story takes place in 2023. The flashbacks are set at different times in the past including 5000 BC, 575 BC, AD 400 and 1521. Aside from the framing scenes in 2011, this movie's main story is set from 1942-1945.
@@oxhine I think it is a huge flashback for Steve as he thaws and remembers WWII but his story starts in 2011. Cheers

NEVER TRUST A F CKING ELF!!!
I’m glad you decided to watch in release order. Chronological order for first time viewing I think can lessons the impact of scenes because you don’t have familiarity with the characters that they built up as the movies were being released (missed references to items or people as well). Plus it’s how the filmmakers planned the stories out and intended them to be viewed.
Dairy much like meat was rationed during the war, so offering him milk with the meal was a symbolic gesture to show he could get him luxury items if he cooperated.
Great catch!
The best movie of marvel until now 2023. Great

I can personally guarantee you that if you keep watching these, the views will only grow. MCU fans are fanatics for reactions and you seem to be a great reactress for these. Excited to see more!
As I understand it, the serum stopped the ice from killing him or causing any other damage, and that allowed the ice to stop anything else from happening, like starving or aging.
23:44 If the shield is completely vibration absorbent, then why does it make a sound when it is shot?
It isn't absorbent... he was simplifying for someone (Steve) he considered not super smart (Stark even says as much with that 'I doubt Rogers picked up on that' line). I think the shields geometry makes hits to the front send the energy at a roughly 90º angle to the edges of the shield (spoilers - see Avengers 1). But the crystalline geometry of the shield behaves differently if force is applied to the edges (as when he bounces it off things). In those cases, it act more like a reflective material (like so called 'Liquid Metal' ). I have thought about this a bit, but am too lazy currently to make a RUclips video about it. In neither of those cases does it 'absorb' energy... it redirects it, which makes more sense with the shields observed behavior. Other forms of Vibranium probably behave very differently based on their particular crystalline geometry.
what's interesting about Cap being frozen & then coming back decades later is that in the original comics Cap went on ice in the 40's & was found again in the 60's so he was only on ice for 20 years then but with the passage of time the amount of time he has to spend in ice has to keep increasing for him to come back in present day like at the end of this where it's been 70 years, & if they make a new Captain America franchise in the 2040's he'll have to have been on ice for 100+ years because his origin will always have to be in WWII
Asthma inhalers weren't a thing back then, which was part of the reason it disqualified him from enlisting
I love that you're reacting to these, even if I am late to the party. At least I have a lot of content to catch up on.
@22:00 "I guess he didn't want the medal." This is certainly what was intended by the scene and it's how most of the audience understood it. It's also probably the biggest single mistake in the film. Soldiers who win the really big medals -- Bronze Star, Medal of Honor, etc -- rarely want them. They wear them to honour the people who can't. When you get a medal because you saved three people, you're thinking about the five who died before you got there. Civilians reward the heroes; heroes honour everyone who served and isn't on that stage.
I believe the serum gave him superior physical abilities just like Captain Rogers'. The reason why they said it was not ready is because it caused him also some deformities, including that face that in the Comics gave him the name of Red Skull.
I usually like the first, introductory film for each superhero the best. I like the human interest part of the story. Sometimes, in the subsequent movies, the hero becomes too powerful and things don't make as much sense.
The outdoor Brooklyn scenes were filmed in the Northern Quarter, Manchester, England. They swapped some signs, parked period cars, and had WW2 Brooklyn. I’ve often parked my car in one of the locations to go shopping, wandered round others to get to bars. It’s always strange seeing them as Brooklyn. In another hundred years they’ll probably still look the same.
Great reactions Evie! I just discovered your channel, and what a great time to join you: at the start of your MCU journey!! Captain America is my favorite of the "classic" Avengers, and you saw many of the reasons why in this movie. I also agree with those who have recommended watching in release order, not chronological order; the flow of the cinematic journey will make much more sense. I love how engaged you are with the movie and the characters! You have a new subscriber! 😊
"I don't like Bullies I dont care where they're From" that line is me my whole life.
@14:38 Hugo Weaving, ie Agent Smith from the matrix, Elrond in lord of the rings and about 500 other great characters lol
I am so glad you’re going to do the MCU!! Follow the dates when they were released. That’s the easiest way to watch!! I can’t wait for you to see Winter Soldier, one of the best movies of the whole MCU
Here are some interesting tidbits from the history of Captain America and the Red Skull.
Originally, in the comics, the super soldier serum just corrected everything that was wrong with Steve's sickly body and made him physically perfect. He didn't gain borderline super human abilities until the 1970s when he was injected with a snake venom that should have been fatal, but instead, it interacted with the super soldier serum and greatly enhanced his abilities. I recall him saying he was happy about it because he had previously often felt like he was "just a costumed athlete." Somewhere in comics history the canon changed so that the near super human strength, speed, stamina, healing, etc. were inherent effects of the serum. BTW I've mentioned the physical effects, but the serum also enhances Steve's mental abilities so he can analyze a tactical situation and form a strategy instantly.
The Red Skull in the comics was originally just a regular (though psychopathic) man in a mask. He survived from the end of WW@ into the 1960s buried in an underground bunker without dying or aging because an allied bombing had caused the leakage of an experimental gas which put him into suspended animation. Decades later, as he continued to age (and Steve didn't because of the super soldier serum), he became old and frail and died. However, the Skull had Dr. Zola (who had transferred his own consciousness into a really goofy looking robot body) transfer his consciousness into a new body cloned from tissue samples the Skull had obtained from Captain America in one of their many encounters in the comics. After that, he had the same enhanced abilities as Captain America.
For a while, he looked just like Steve, but when he tried to surprise attack Captain America with a toxin which killed its victim and made their face shrivel and turn red so it looked like a red skull (a blatant ripoff of the Joker's Joker gas from the Batman comics), Cap smashed the trick cigarette holder the Skull meant to spray the toxin from, and the Skull got a facefull of his own poison instead. The super soldier serum saved his life, but thereafter, he was permanently scarred with a Red Skull face.
In 1990, the terrible Captain America movie starring Matt Salinger (in which the Red Skull was portrayed as an Italian F@sci$t instead of a German N@zi) introduced the idea that the Skull was the first person to get the not yet perfected super soldier serum and as a result got a deformed skull face along with enhanced abilities. This concept of the Skull being essentially the evil version of Captain America made such perfect sense that it became canon in the comics and the movies.
Looking back to the cloned body version of the Red Skull for an interesting aside: there was an extended story arc in which Steve and the Skull were dying, because after so many decades, the super soldier serum had mutated and was killing them. With the scientific genius superheroes unable to find a cure, Steve traveled the country looking for a new young hero who could replace him after his death and making peace with his long and complicated past. Meanwhile the Skull, unfettered by ethics, was using ruthless inhumane experimentation to find a cure. When the end was near for him and Steve, he used Steve as the final human guinea pig to test the cure. The cure worked, and the Skull ended up saving the life of his greatest enemy to save his own.
As a rule of thumb, if you are aware the movie is part of a larger story, it is safest to assume "release order" very seldom is "in-movie chronological order" the best. Generally they were released in that order for a reason. It's like watching the in-universe chronological movie before the 1st release order movie, which in turn creates a spoiler of the big reveal in the 3rd released movie (6th chronologically) Everyone who knows, will know exactly which series I'm referencing.
3:30 "If you had asthma, you couldn't enlist?"
If you're putting together an army, to face the massive battle force marching across half a continent, and you want to stop that force. You want every able bodied, capable soldier you can get. If your men are on foot, they can only move as fast as their slowest member, otherwise they become spread out and easy to pick off. In the heat of a prolonged fight, you need men with stamina, able to keep fighting. There were many conditions that would make one ineligible. (breathing issues, stamina issues, restricted movement, inability to operate a rifle effectively (such as a missing thumb)
7:40-7:45 "He's got Asthma. Get him... an inhaler."
1. this is early 1940s, the first "inhaler" was invented in 1952
2. He wouldn't be there if his asthma and other issues were reported, and falsifying the enlistment documents is a crime.
Fun reaction! I was really pleasantly surprised by this movie when it first came out. And the casting was perfect. (Something Marvel seems to get right again and again.) Glad you'll be switching to release order, I think it's a more rewarding experience in a "peeling the layers of an onion" sort of way. Now, as others have mentioned, you need to go brush up on your "Spotting Stan Lee" skills. 🔍
37:25 this also says something about how good that serum was by golly people would pay fortunes for that.
He was frozen in ice,along with the serum stopped his aging. The serum slowed his aging quite a bit
The super solder serum made it, so he can survive being frozen in the Arctic waters. This will become important later.
Tommy Lee Jones stole every scene he was in. 👍👍
Hi Evie! Welcome to Marvel! I recommend you watch these in the order in which the movies were released, because the movies that were released later assume viewers have seen the earlier ones. For example, the eyepatch guy at the end (Samuel L. Jackson) was first introduced in earlier movies. Captain America is only the "first" avenger in that his origin is in the 1940s. Whichever way you do it, though, it'll be a fun ride. Enjoy!
Oh and BIG BIG BIG RULE!
You HAVE to show the Stan Lee cameos and acknowledge it every time! This is a big one!!!
Captain America has always been my favorite mcu character of all time.
Being a hero means willingness to sacrifice something that no other wants to for greater good.But when the people who sacrificed for you feel ashamed seeing the people they sacrificed for thats when you need to check yourself
Love to see your reactions on this fantastic universe. And advice I can give you is to watch them not chronologicaly but by release. New sub fo sho! ^^
“This guy has such a great villain face…” - …oh just wait…
Good ups.
I already thought doing Cap 1 first and then doing Iron Man 1 and the rest in release is a better for a first timer, so I approve.
No it’s a horrible idea.
The main difference between Captain America (Steve Rodgers) and Tony Stark, is in their ego.
Tony Stark is like, Donald Trump. And Steve Rodgers is like, Audie Murphy. Yeah I know, who? Audie Murphy was America's most decorated WWII hero. They even made a movie about him (To Hell And Back), in which he starred. Audie was a real life Captain America. Though without the drugs, and the asthma.
Audie left us in 1971, but I'm sure he, and all veterans, would be honored if you do a reaction to his movie as it is, a true story.
You might want to remember the after credit scenes you missed that connect the movies but you are watching in the wrong order so you get spoilers in the one you already missed
"He has a great villain face"... yeahhhh about that face... lol
Yes, Red Skull does have a good villain face.
Regarding Enlistment: Since a qualitty a soldier needs is self sufficiency and being a member of a team, you have to have people are able bodied to begin with. The army needs simple reliability not subject to failing randomly at potentially critical moments as an asthma attack or other imperfection might cause.
The main Hydra base where Red Skull had his operations was located in the Austrian Alps, and would have only been a few miles from the resl location of Hitler's Eagle's Nest retreat.
Personally, I think the biggest tragedy is the fact that growing up Steve eschewed from alcohol for moral reasons, and after the procedure he can't get drunk, so at present viewing, he has yet to feel what being drunk is.
Great reaction, keep on the Marvel road , they get better and better 😁
Asthma would not usually warrant a 4F, but it would usually prevent full duty. A WW2 enllistee faced a lot of bad conditions, and many drugs of the era had to be refrigerated. If any of his myriad of ailments flared up, not just asthma, he would likely die before he got to where the medications were. And he would take two other men off the line to carry and transport him.
Let's just say - all your queries get answered in following movies- no spoilers
Watch the credit scene to set up the next film something Marvel is known for.
Oops! It looks like you missed the end-credits scene! Almost all MCU films have at least one -- and some have several -- so be sure not to forget them in the future! (They're not all equally important, but they can still be fun.) Also be on the lookout for cameos by Stan Lee. Not a big deal if you don't, but it can be a fun little "Easter Egg."
Probably for the best that she skipped this particular one. Not really a fan of trailers being in there.

Very Important...... please watch the end credit scenes...... some movies have multiple end credit scenes. Yay!! Iron Man. I look forward to watching these with you.
With the MCU there's usually end credit scenes, one or two after The only time this doesn't happen is after endgame, but that's a small spoiler to save you time so i hope it doesn't matter. Be sure to watch the end credit scenes to get you hyped for the next upcoming movie.
great reaction you've got a new subscriber now 👍🏼 just to make you remember there is multiple end credit scenes everytime so make sure to check it too lol
Awesome reaction. So excited to see your journey into the MCU. 👍 Merci.
Essential that you follow release order.
In the 1940s the only treatments for an asthma attack were either epinephrine injections (like we do for severe allergic reactions now) and aminophylline tablets or suppositories. It wasn't something you could give a soldier on the march if they had an issue ("Hol' up guys! I got to shove this up my ass! "). exacerbating that was that in WWI the use of gases in attacks had become more commonplace in warfare. For those reason asthma was a disqualifier.
Be sure to watch the post credit scenes at the very end. The avengers and all after that have two
Release order is the best way to watch not chronological order. You will have spoilers in the post credit scenes
Hi Evie, i think you must to watch the series too: Agent Carter. About her journey after capt missing & other characters like: howard stark & jarvis

Classic Spy Trick Cyanide Capsul in A False Tooth.
you'll definitely want to watch these in their release order, not in there chronological order. they are specifically meant to be done that way, you actually will kind of screw up the watching experience for yourself by trying to take them in their timeline, and not the order of release.
with that said, glad you enjoyed the movie, and your reaction was great!
I enjoyed your reaction very much, but agree with the others that release date is by far the best way to watch the MCU! Having said that, by now I am sure you are aware you need to watch the end credit scenes, so when you have finished Thor come back and watch this post credit scene before diving into The Avengers!!
Cap is a favorite character of mine, but movie-wise, Iron Man is MUCH better! Glad you're going to watch them in release order now.
Please don't forget to watch the end credit scenes, some marvel movies have multiple of them.
Do not forget the Stan Lee cameo's
Um, I hope you watched the after credits scene (every MCU film has important scenes after the credits).
I love your channel!😂
I'm so glad that a young lady appreciates a comedy.
Many go woke, and fall flat, because it's mainly bullshit.
You're different and awesome!
Keep it up!
12:05 You might want to put some ice on that, E. 😁
He had a date. Instead he got a wait.
A few recommendations: Captain America 2 (The Winter Soldier), John Wick: Chapter 2
Not being able to join the army with asthma is common, im from Sweden and here you can't even join the army if you got ADHD/ADD to a point where you need medication.. Cause out on the field you don't have access to those types of medication🤷♂
"And now his outsides match his insides..."
lots of red, some whites, a little bits of blue...
Good Movie and Great Reaction! Hope You waited to watch the after credits scene till after Watching The Avengers.
I love your accent that I can hear now and then :)
For a movie reaction: I can recommend The Blind Side (2009), it is based on a real story, I think you might like it alot.
The red skull shows up later with the teserac
An average kid from 1940s Brooklyn would not know what "fondue" was. It wasn't something widely known among common folk in the US until maybe the late 1950s or early 1960s. That's why it's a joke.
It's the time of MCU where they showed bloody scene.
I mean how adorable is she
Marvel Movies are a big journey. if you wanna know what happens with those 2 watch all Marvel movies. You will love it
