Someone might have mentioned it already, but Steve throwing himself on what he believed to be a real grenade is the most effective decision he could have taken to protect his comrades. When you see a grenade you very much don't know how much time you have before it explodes, and tossing it away would have taken precious time. Also the human body is a fantastic blast dampener so Steve would have most likely died but everyone around would have been safe from the shrapnel. Soldiers have won the Medal of Honor solely for throwing themselves on grenades to save the lives of those around them.
yeah that was impressive, that choice is why he’s our captain!
@@TheOctobersReact also, there are several serum's out there in the mcu. when you get to the winter soldier, you should start agents of shield and agent carter!
@@TheOctobersReact bucky and his mother raised steve after steve's parents died. that's why your getting the brother vibes from them. if (not too sure) i remember correctly it was like 6+ years he lived with bucky.
@@TheOctobersReact fyi, the serum has the effect of putting the person into a suspended sleep that preserves the person. anyone treated with that serum would get that effect.
@@craiglortie8483 shhhhhhh spoilersssssss
Nah they didn't create him for propaganda, they created him as the first of what they had hoped would be an army. But they only got one, so they kept him out of the war to continue to try and replictate the serum. That senator just decided to use him for propaganda to make himself look better and make money.
It takes a lot of money to win a war. And morale is very useful, too.
Exactly. The senator made him a propaganda monkey to make himself look better.
@@passionsquietrage No he didn't. He used him to raise money and morale for the war effort.
@@PhilBagels That's what I meant by make himself look better.
@@PhilBagelsyea…that’s how war propaganda works
I love the scene with the flag. The whole reason Steve was chosen is because he didnt have physical strength, so he has respect, compassion and intelligence. No point making a tough grunt stronger, its best to give the smart guy power cause then hes the best of both
dang right! if they gave it to that other dude he’d prob be like thor!
@@TheOctobersReact the serum couldn't raise his strength THAT much, it would make him stronger than Steve but still in the same general category. Just a bigger stronger dude to start off with, yields even better physical results.
Maybe that guy could lift 5-6 tons instead of 3-4 tons like Steve. But he'd still be below Spider-Man (10-15 tons) or Thor and Hulk (100+ tons)
@@neospock5034 I've seen no instance where the serum is proportional to the strength of the subject, otherwise Banner who was a thin guy himself wouldn't have become HULK who's as strong as Thor.
The OEM serum enhances the being to it's peak abilities in SYNERGY.
The BOOTLEG serums do things differently with many negative side effects that most reasonable persons wouldn't want.
A key note is how they effect the BRAIN which then ruins the whole point (Hulk going on rampages, Red Skull's pure evil, Abomination) of the enhancements.
This is why the Dr. Chose a mentally STABLE and virtuous person as the serum does not fix mental flaws, only PHYSICAL ones.
It does enhance thought/process speed (still a physical biological aspect) but cannot fix your core values.
Steve's also an artist so he has a strong imagination, which might work as a strategist and someone who learns unconventionally. Maybe how he learns varying martial arts later as seen in Winter Soldier. Also, how he later can take longer leaps with or without a parachute. Not sure if what I said makes sense. Steve was a smart guy to begin with, and morally stable with strong convictions and the serum aloud him to finally transition that to fighting the Good fight.
Howard Stark was one of my favourite characters in the entire Marvel series...he may not have been a super hero...but he was a great man. he has a tragic line he states later in the series that is so true, he may have been capable of great things but "he was limited by the technology of his time".
5:43 Alot of people miss this but the "Dr. Phineas Horton presents The Synthetic Man." on display here is based on Jim Hammond, the original Human Torch. He was a member of the Invaders alongside Steve Rogers/Captain America, Bucky Barnes and Namor. he was also the first characters to appear in a Marvel Comics publication, debuting in 1939's Marvel Comics Vol 1 #1 alongside Namor while Captain America was created on March 1941 just two years later.
The Fantastic Four (Introduced in 1961) also has a Human Touch known as Johnny Storm who became extremally popular so that's who everyone thinks of when someone mentions The Human Torch, original Synthetic Man is very much a forgotten character. On the topic of the Human Touch Chris Evans the actor who plays Captain America actually played The Human Torch in the 2005 Fantastic Four film and it's sequels.
This was before Marvel films had any shared continuity between films so everything from X-Men, Fantastic Four, Hulk, Daredevil, Punisher, Spider-Man, Blade they had no connection to each other. So Chris Evans playing two Marvel Superhero's has no effect on the MCU as all the movies I've mentioned above don't take place in the MCU. Fox owned the movie rights to both F4 and X-Men up until 2019 when Disney bought Fox who also own Marvel so they're actually developing an MCU F4 film at the moment with alot of casting rumours on who will play certain characters. But this will release in like 2024/2025 so you're a long way from that.
The Incredible Hulk actually is MCU canon. It's often placed as the 2nd MCU movie even though it could technically be considered the 1st. Iron Man really seems to work better as the 1st to highlight his role, though.
@@Etereysby hulk they meant the one before the incredible hulk
And looks like we bout to see him in loki season 2
Evans can play BOTH Steve and Johnny in the MCU if Eddie Murphy and the Madea guy can play multiple characters in the same movie.
DOUBLE PAY CHECK FTW!
It's not just that he's physically stronger but also mentally sharp as a tack. He knows tactics, how to plan and how to lead. You'll see.
Love that you're on this journey.
I really enjoy ya'lls channel.
we did in AVENGERS! he played a huge role. we just had no idea yet lol
@@TheOctobersReact At the end of The Avengers when Cap tells everyone what to do,he's using their individual strengths to work as a team.He's the glue for the whole team. I'll go ahead and put it out there and suggest the Rocky series if you guys haven't seen them yet. Later tater.
He also develops some oratory skills for inspiration and command while working as the war bonds advertising mascot. Notice how the first time he gives the speech, he's not that good, but eventually, it just comes out naturally.
@@PhilBagels you are correct good sir.
@@PhilBagels you are correct good sir.
Many people skip the "Agent Carter" TV series, where Peggy goes on with life. It is actually pretty good and provides additional background for the movies that followed it.
Because of all the flashbacks - which is a common technique in movies - you can't really watch these films in "chronological" order. They're made to be watched in release order. BTW, not sure if you noticed, but this movie and the previous Thor film kind of do the same thing, opening in the real world, then going back in time at the same location - Tonsberg, Norway - spending some time in the past, then returning to the present. The linkage to Norway is there because of the tesseract, from Odin's treasure room. FWIW, Hugo Weaving - the actor who played the Red Skull here - is an actor you will definitely be seeing again in other great films. While it's not his most famous role, I'd say his best, most commanding role is in "V for Vendetta," a DC Comics movie.
yes we seen this! we like this technique! it’s very cool!
his powers are basically 20x what a normal human has , super strength , super regen , increased durability , etc
Skinny Steve jumping on the grenade will always be one of the best scenes in the MCU. Gives me goosebumps every time. What a great story. Love your reaction!
The tesseract is made from a space magic element. The Arc reactor Howard built in his facility in the one that Tony bills in the first movie is made from the element palladium which is why it in no other earthly element work fully to provide unlimited energy. Howard figures the elemental composition for the cube but Tony create it. The synthetic element of the tesseract which it's why it fixes Tony palladium poisoning.
Also worth noting is that the name "Tesseract" is not just a made-up word. In the comics, it was originally called "The Cosmic Cube", which is admittedly a kind of dumb name. "Tesseract" is much cooler. What a tesseract actually is, is the four-dimensional analog of a cube. What in multi-dimensional geometry is called a "measure polytope". The 2-D measure polytope is a square, the 3-D one is the cube, and the 4-D one is the tesseract. 5- and higher dimension versions don't have special names, and are usually just called "hypercubes". So you could have a "five-dimensional hypercube", or a "six-dimensional hypercube". It gets to be a mouthful, so they often shorten it to "5-cube", "6-cube", etc.
Just some trivia from your friendly neighborhood math nerd.
11:52, Steve starts out as a little guy with a lion’s heart. In time as Captain America he will inspire others to find their inner lions.
That is what makes him truly dangerous to bad guys like Hyrdra. Not the threat he himself represents but how many people he can get to come fight alongside him.
yes and in the avengers they make the comment about his uniform and how “they need that” bc it gives people something to believe in.
@@TheOctobersReact Captain America is a comic book example of the “King
Asleep in The Mountain” legend.
This is a recurring legend in folklore all over the world. A great legendary King or Warrior King vanishes or falls asleep in locations unknown. But as the legend goes, the great King will one day return when his people or country needs him most.
So Captain America inspired the Greatest Generation to fight off the Axis powers only to vanish into the polar ice caps. But 70 years later he returns to inspire a new generation of Americans and others to fight.
very interesting and cool that it is an example of a legend!

cut to black
One of my top ten movie endings.
i know! it broke our heart!
Another banger. Lots of people didn’t like this movie when it came out. But people grew to love it, especially looking back at it. Never forget “Hydra”. You’ll hear it a LOT moving forward.
hydra is so creepy!
@@TheOctobersReactyou have no idea, the movies don’t even do it Justice, you wanna know just how deep the hydra history goes you gotta watch agents of shield. You’ll see hydras been around for hundreds if not thousands of years
@@scotthill1600 we just put that on our poll of series to watch so hopefully it gets voted on bc we would love to check it out, probably about to either way!
@@TheOctobersReact I watched the whole series In 9 days my first time watching, absolutely love it. Adds a TON of depth to the mcu. Highly recommend. Some ppl hate but it’s in my top 5 fav series ever
it’s pretty great!
This movie was great! We really enjoyed this origin story and we love the connection it made to the story. Now that we have a Captain, Let’s take on the Avengers! It’ll be dropping on Patreon… TODAY!
www.patreon.com/theoctobers
What was your favorite part? Also, so far, who has the best origin story and why? I think this one is our favorite. It’s unique and prepares us to unite the Avengers! Let’s go! Thanks for watching ❤️
Speaking of Connections, here's one that some people tend to miss...remember Blonsky in "The Incredible Hulk?" That Serum they were using to Enhance him was one of their attempts at recreating Captain America: after one dose, Blonsky could Run Faster and Jump Higher just like Cap!
yes! wow! they are just way off, it’s bc they couldn’t recreate the serum right?
So far, best origin story for me is thor. Because his character went through a whole character arc in his first film.. Tony stark did improve and change in his morals. But he's still egotistical and arrogant
yes we like thors a lot too! now that we have seen the avengers, we look at the hulk differently too! so honestly they are all good!
Iron man is my favorite, then Thor! Not sure if it's because he was my first introduction that made me love the MCU but I love his snarky character. Lol And we'll Thor, I mean (GOD OF THUNDER)❤❤ come on. 😂😂
When I was a kid watching the Capt. America cartoon series in the 60's it was compelling when showing scenes of war, a huge Red Skull would appear in the background/sky. Even as a child I recognized the symbolism. This villain had what appeared to be unlimited resources and just kept coming. I sorta remember the theme song as well: "When Capt. America throws his mighty shield....".
It's hilarious that this generation cannot understand the scene where Steve jumps on a grenade.....I love you guys, too cute
A hydra is mythological dragon like serpent, it originates from greek mythology. Like he kept saying, evevry time you cut off one of it's heads it regenerats and grows two more heads
7:07 The deep and impenetrable language of film seems to suggest that they're friends.
In the beginning scene they only showed the shield.. it created doubt as to whether they found the captain, or the perhaps the captain wanted to find his shield. they did say, "I don't care what time it is, this one has waited long enough". there could have been doubt as to what it was.
yes i see that now, but i took that as they’ve been lookin for him, i see what you’re saying tho! makes perfect sense
In Greek mythology a Hydra is like a five-headed dragon. You cut one head off two grow back
wow never knew that!!
Both Steve, and Bucky are friends, but they are more like brothers.
They both grew up together when they were kids so that makes their relationship/bond stronger as of brothers.
P.S. Fun fact about this movie the Director’s daughter (and wife I think) is in this movie his daughter is wearing a “red hat” in London.
But if you need a little help watch the movie again on the commentary it was both helpful, and interesting at the same time.
thanks for letting us know that, that was a really cool easter egg!
@@TheOctobersReact I am happy to be helpful. 🫡
His Shield made of vibranium , even though that metal doesn't exist in real life it is one of the strongest metals in all of marvel, behing that super strength he can throw it 5 times as hard as a regular man, very good at geometry which is why he can ricochet it off numerous surfaces to hit object or opponents and most of the time comes right back to him.
so cool! Howard Stark came up with the vibranium right?
@@TheOctobersReact no they discover a piece of vibranium meteor and yes I said meteor so it's from space so they discovered it. It was first discovered by the wakandans when the bigger one fell in Africa so the named it. So a piece must've fell off and Stark and the army found it, crafted it into a shield.
@@TheOctobersReactHoward didn't necessarily create or come up with it. Its sort of like how certain countries have the materials but aren't allowing other countries like the US to have them so that shield was the last of vibranium they had
5x regular man?
Nah 5 times a FIT Athletic man and with his increased reflexes and reaction time probably 15 to 30 times harder.
The force of impact increases with SPEED not just the strength portion, lastly his ACCURACY makes it more impactful.
If you throw a punch incorrectly or land at the wrong spot, a weaker opponent doing both correctly will best you.
Steve has SYNERGY which is much more than just increased strength or speed individually.
What happened was they wanted an Army of Super Soldiers, but after the Doctor got killed and the last of the Serum was taken they couldn't reproduce it. So all they got was him.
i know if they had a bunch of hims that’d be kinda scary
Facts Of Cap: The first super hero in the marvel universe hence the nickname the first Avenger, He is very well respected throughout the marvel universe, Argubly the best combatant and Strategist which makes him a leader in most super groups. Very humble all around person that always has a moral compass.
makes sense in avengers lol we were like who’s gonna listen to mr old school! ALL OF US ARE!
But...and it's an important but, he also thinks he's the only one with a moral compass hence all the problems he causes in Civil War... 😔
@@eddhardy1054 besides trying to clear a man's name, what all problems exactly?
@@dee-jay0461 His unwillingness to sign a certain accord and his willingness to cover-up the fact that his friend killed someone's mother and father. These decisions were both based on his arrogant assumption that he alone always knew what was best
@@eddhardy1054 ok he was wrong for keeping the secret from Tony, but as far as the signing, I wouldn't do it either which at the end he was right but that it for me, I don't want to spoil it for these guys
This isn't my favorite movie out of the Captain America franchise but it's still so good and this is the only one I regret not seeing in theaters but glad I went to see every other one afterwards on the big screen. Great reaction as always you guys!! ❤
You mean "Captain America" but we get what you mean.
@@ghostmkc4045 I corrected it lol but yup
thank you as always! we can’t wait for the others then!
@@TheOctobersReactNo problem. I can't wait either
Yeah there’s no way it could be anyone’s favorite from the franchise because the other two are so freakin money!
Captain America is my hero, all around. His story is just so powerful, and I love just how... willing he is to stand up to people who tell him not to do what he believes is right. I'm really excited to see you continue with his story in these movies.
So as far as Cap's abilities as granted by the Super Soldier serum, the process essentially unlocked peak potential human strength, reflexes, agility, and constitution in his genetic code. As far as his military training, he completed basic training, but Steve Rogers himself was fairly intelligent and incredibly brave to start with. As he gets more experience during the war; his instincts, muscle memory, and fight skill only increses through use.
Most miss it but in the movie when the other soldiers were going out to enjoy 'leave' he stood behind reading BOOKS ON WAR STRATEGY and other works.
In the comics he always trained even though he was at peak ability, pushing himself to do insane feats in battle, and studied EVERY Avenger and foe in the Avengers database and character in the world with powers, this way he was ready in battle against them or to utilize Avengers to their fullest abilities or best positions(as seen in Avengers movie).
Most characters only have special abilities with little proper training or experience, things Steve has above everyone and only few like Thor, Black Panther, Reed Richards, or Shang Chi have near as much, and only in the creation side he's lacking (Reed, Tony, Dr Doom, Machinesmith, Red Skull, Arnim Zola, etc.)
Now, you are going to meet the man who hasn't the best of superpowers but still he will lead the Gods, superhumans, Androids, aliens, wizards of this universe.
The heart of MCU.
"CAP"❤
we just realized this on the Avengers how he’s an actual captain! Avengers next monday 😊
It's about personality. The long "Steve" section shows that he was patriotic, smart, brave, self-sacrificing and determined before the Project. Tony
learned how to be a hero, Steve already was one.
yes and they both were!
Crazy how Steve has and worked with both Stark men. By "a few years", Howard meant at least 70 since we still haven't gotten there yet lol. The whole propaganda thing was the senator's "hey I paid for this, vote for me" bit. He was given the serum to do exactly what he did, fight on the front lines.
yeah i agree and yes that is crazy
"What if that landed in someone's drink like an ice cube"
😆
yeah sometimes idk what i’m thinking lol
hilarious asf😂😂😂
True, not propaganda, they just benched Steve because the general was promised an army of Super Soldiers but since he only had one he felt like it was not nearly enough to win the war so Steve was benched as the Armie's Posterboy
Multiple actors wound up playing Howard Stark over the years depending on which actor was available to shoot a movie at the time.
yes i see this. pretty cool.
Next Week: "AVENGERS . . . Assemble!"
YESSSS! SOOOO GOOD!
I can't wait for you to meet the Captain!!!
48:07
I did not expect his face to come off.
Me either
Like At All
Who Makes A Removable Face?!
And Why Can't he put it back on...? Like I don't wanna see this! 😂😂🤣
The drill instructor did not specify _how_ to get the flag. He instructed them to bring him the flag. No one but Steve took that to mean I need to get that flag. But you didn't tell me specifically to climb for it. Worst that could come from Steve's action is that the drill instructor gets bent out of shape because Steve took liberties in how to get the flag. Alternatively, he just showed everyone over the last 17 years why they were too focused to see the solution.
11:50-11:58 there is a short delay between a grenade handle being released and the detonation of the grenade. By the time it hits the ground, you don't have any idea if you have half a second or 5 seconds. If you try to throw it, 1. You have to get to it, 2. successfully pick it up (sounds simple, but under stress?) 3. figure out where to throw it to minimize injuries, 4. hope there's enough delay left in it for it to travel clear of your allies. anywhere in that entire time, it could go off, and Steve, being a bit unathletic, is going to be hard pressed to throw it far enough to get it safely away from everyone even with a full 5 seconds. By wrapping around it, the concussive force will be blunted and virtually no solid shrapnel is going to be flying. Even skinny as he is, he'd absorb better than 80% of the grenades destructive power. That means anyone else only has to worry about the remaining 20% or less, which is going out in all directions so it is 80% less effective against someone who is right by him, and far less likely to significantly injure anyone more than 5 feet from him,
25:00-26:10 The super soldier process was supposed to be to create a team of super soldiers, Steve was supposed to be the first of many, but when the scientist who could create the formula was killed, they couldn't make more. Rather than letting his impressiveness go to waste, they put him in the field as a propaganda instrument.
28:15-28:25 The Tesseract and the ARC Reactor are unrelated as far as I know.
Essentially the serum made the pinnacle of human capability, pound for pound as strong, more agile and fast as a professional athlete could hope to achieve.
38:45-38:50 First, that was the _Second_ Iron Man Movie. Second, for reasons I expressed a few hours ago in a comment on that reaction, I don't believe it to have been Captain America's Shield (As we find at the opening of this movie, it was in the ice with Captain America since the 1940s and wasn't unearthed until after the events of Iron Man I.)
HYDRA came to hold so much power by working within the Nazi Party of Germany, with the Chancellor Adolf Hitler. Schmidt just sees that it should be HYDRA that ends up on top. For a time it benefited HYDRA to work within the Nazi war machine.
I love the fact that in his mind he was already Captain America before he became Captain America, he just lacked that physicality.
right! he was always our cap!
Let’s goooo!! You guys are knocking these out quickly…
This movie is the least of the cap movies and still one of the best of marvel! Also, gaming channel possibly?
Steve Rogers doesn’t necessarily have super powers. The super soldier serum turned him into a “peak human”. Steve Rogers has reached the evolutionary maximum of human potential. He can bench press 1,200 lbs. He can run about 50 mph. He can jump 20 feet straight into the air. He has the flexibility of a gymnast. In other words, if he entered the Olympics, Steve would win gold medals in every event. Also, because of his fast metabolism, he cannot get drunk or drugged.
oh wow. that actually makes more sense when it comes to his ability to survive things. thanks for that!
@@TheOctobersReactThanks. Love your channel!
Also, he has a high intellect. Not a Tony Stark super genius mind, but he's able to almost instantly grasp the tactical situation, assess what resources and soldiers he has available, and formulate the best possible plan.
Steve also has an innate ability to inspire those around him and get them to do the best they are capable of doing. He is the ultimate leader as much as he is the ultimate soldier.
@@folcotook3049 lol good thing he spent so much time in jail to get that inmate ability 😆 just teasing i know you meant innate
@@Snake_-zv2ud lol, fixed
Steve and Bucky are best friends since childhood.
You guys popped up on my RUclips Home Screen as a suggestion when you posted the Scary Movie reaction. I’m a big fan of the first 3 because of its old humor. Now that you added Marvel to the mix, and from the beginning! I’m here to stay. I love the genuine reaction and commentary.
thanks so much for the kind words, we really are into any kind of movie bc haven’t watched really any, we are series people! but thanks for watching !’
The part where you said why everyone look like there from Brooklyn because that's where there are
wellllll lol that would be why they look that way
oops 😬
SO MUCH BETTER!!!! Nice reaction!
Hugo Weaving who played Red Skull was also Agent Smith in The Matrix and Elrond in The Lord of the Rings franchise.
First guess that Schmidt was Red Skull. Impressive.
all on the list to check out we like this guy
@@TheOctobersReact Most excellent!
@@ChuckJansenIIIs Betty Ross going to become a villain in Captain America 4 since she’s also an elf?
capt america... my favorite
top 3 SH
capt america
wolverine
batman
surprised they didn't include the classic "When Captain America throws his mighty shield" song in the USO bit
Yes before the gave Steve the serum they gave it to BLACK SOLIDERS BUT DIDNT TELL THEM IT WAS SERUM, THEY TOLD THEM IT WAS TETANUS SHOTS
So even in a fictional setting black people were used and treated poorly by the evil white man,those poor people just can't catch a break even in a fake world,must be so hard for them
In the time of WWII they were creating a serum in the hopes of perfecting a type of Super soldier...unfortunately the complications that came with this were many; side effects...as one could expect...they had to be sure they chose the right person for it. Dr Erskine was not only concerned with the physical abilities of a man...but also their morality...he needs someone who is pure of heart.
yes makes sense
They were going to make the entire platoon into super soldiers. But the scientist got shot and took the formula to the grave with him. So they ended up with only one super soldier and decided to use him for propaganda.
i see. makes sense
The scene when Peggy almost touches Steve's chest inmediately after he left the casket was not scripted. It was tge first time the actress saw him without his shirt and it was an involuntary motion. This btw came from the actress herself. If you really want to get into things you can watch the series Agent Carter
oh she has her own series! that’s crazy!
"Raiders of the lost Ark" are cannon in Marvel..
It only gets better from here onwards.
yessss! let’s go then!
I love em both but Capt America > Iron Man!! Both are our greatest heroes though! :)
Ah yes the ole grab a live grenade and throw it some random place in camp, we call it “extra hot potato that’ll fuckin kill a bunch of people so jump on it instead throwing it over here”
yeah that’s not a smart idea
the lethal cyanide pill hidden in fake teeth, pen caps, etc isnt a common thing but agents can still request them depending on their assignments, theres a few docs on yt abt espionnage that get into it
28:21 the teseract and arc reactor are totally different things.
okay! makes sense
Fun fact. This is Chris Evans Second second Marvel he also played Johnny Storm in the earlier Fantastic Four movies which is marvel but not in the MCU.
wow never seen that either !
@@TheOctobersReact it is a fun watch just a feeling on who the fantastic four are since they will be joining the MCU at some point
Just a bit of background on Captain America in the comics - the character was actually created in 1940 (just BEFORE the United States officially entered World War II) published by Timely Comics (which was a pre-cursor to Marvel Comics). And on the cover of the first issue he is indeed shown punching Adolf Hitler in the jaw just like what is shown in the movie. The comic book was popular through the War years but died out in the 1950's. In the early 1960's super-hero comics published by Marvel comics were gaining popularity and Marvel decided to revive the Captain America character. They came up with a story line that he had been frozen in ice at the end of World War II and the Avengers found him floating in the ocean and revived him.
The movie does a pretty good job taking all of that character lore and making a cohesive story out of it.
yeah i like it, i think we needed that in the 1940s!
35:01 I dont think the Hulk was available at that time.. as in Bruce Banner didn't become the hulk through his works with Gamma Radiation at that time. Captain America the first Avenger, the movie is named like that for a reason.. 😊
yeah there is no HULK w/o Super Soldier Serum
In the comic books Bucky was a kid and Captain America’s sidekick like Robin to Batman
"They shootin' grandma's in Marvel?" Hey man...in Brooklyn anybody can catch a hot one!
😂😂😂 that made us laugh out loud
The guy sitting next to Stan Lee is the actor who played Captain America in the old cheap movies from the late 80's
omg what! that’s hilarious
I love that she just say Red Skull as a joke maybe and complitely guessed his name
from the comments they told us the villains are sometimes obvious at times with their names lol so when you tell us that we try to be so obvious
@@TheOctobersReact fun fact: Red Skull is one of the most iconic comic book villains ever
he’s scary lol. did he love his car in the comics too?
I dont actually know, i dont think so.
cant wait for u guys to find out what the tesseract really is :]
you know we have just seen the avengers and it didn’t really even explain the complete magnitude of that thing so maybe during editing we will find out!
@@TheOctobersReact dont worry about it so soon
without spoiling it i will just say its one of the important things of Infinity Saga
also technically the Avengers movie has shown 2 of those things see if u can guess what it is 👀
ahhhhh hmmm. i know for sure it summons things from space ! maybe it also summons thor and loki? maybe i’m so wrong lol
@@xenoviousim seeing very important words that did not need to be said 😂😂😂
@@jxy8938 u mean infinity? they alrdy know this part of mcu is the saga at the start of their reactions lol
Without context is fine 😶
CAN'T wait for you guys to get to the " Winter Soldier" movie. You will get to like Steve even more. This movie is 1 of my favorites too.
The grenade, look up Kyle Carpenter.
Huh. It never occurred to me until just now that Stark's weapons tech probably got a significant boost from studying all that Hydra tech. Howard even says about the submarine that it's tech he has never seen before.
Super Soldier Serum give the person Enhanced Physiology: Strength, Speed, Reflexes, Endurance, Stamina, Focus. As well as your cells as said in the movie, can't get drunk, burn off fat 3 times more. So ur literally an actual Superhuman( if humans evolved again)
in the comics the super-soldier serum just elevated people to the upper limit of normal human physical ability. But in the MCU the serum is more effective, making Steve actually low-level superhuman. Comic book Captain America could officially lift a maximum of 800 lbs overhead and bench press 1200 lbs, but in the MCU he's much stronger, able to lift about 2 tons overhead (and bench press roughly 50% more)
Whenever you commented about the dad on Hacksaw, I thought to myself "Oh, they haven't seen "The Matrix", or The Lord of the Rings?
yes lol they are on the list bc we didn’t recognize him from those but we will see them for sure
That was his best friend. Close enough we consider them brothers
yes they were basically brothers we see, a close close bond for sure
Synopsis: A man named Steve Rogers submits himself to government funded experiments to get out of the friend zone and ends up with super-human abilities.
hahahaha omg you sound like honest trailers
Most people don't know but bruce banner became the hulk bc he was trying to replicate this same super soldier serum.
You were supposed to watch that post credit scene which was basically a trailer for the next movie. Continue with the release order because of the post credit scenes, but I will say in phase 2, you can get away with shifting certain movies around
18:07 crazy how Peggy couldn’t hit a shot on a guy 15ft away but managed to hit the driver in a car that was speeding away.
amen lol
You said they shooting grandma, Memaw probably has been an agent for years. Taking a bullet comes for the job.
lol right
Captain America / Steve Rogers, probably my favorite character in all of films😍🙌
No the Tesseract has nothing to do or nothing in common with Tony's arc reactor.
For now just remember the name Tesseract and that its origin is unknown but is indeed mystical/magical for sure. And don't forget about Bucky as well.
Cap is a super soldier, he is very strong, fast, ect as compared to a normal person. This is the reason he was able to stay frozen in ice for 70 years and not die or age(just like we freeze and preserve our food in the fridge).
I ALWAYS give thanks to the editors that catch that "Red Skull" high tech pistol blast flash on his face when he's executing a minion. That is a repeated and iconic frame from the comics. MMMmmmmmWHA!
it’s crazy scary lol
Bruce Banner wasnt born yet so there would be no Hulk.
Speaking of Hulk, Ross recruited him to recreate the same formula that gave Cap his powers.
Again on the gernade - where could Steve have safely thrown it? They were in the middle of the camp - no time to look around and assess the layout or maybe he was aware and knew there qas no safe area. Again it was a test, notice Agent Carter didn't move but was standing by watching.
you’re right
It wasn't necessarily propaganda it was a way for the government to sell war bonds which actually paid for the war,the government couldn't pay for the entire war so they sold war bonds that you could cash in after the war for extra money.
The gun the woman in the bookstore uses is a M-1921 Thompson submachine gun with a straight magazine instead of the more distinctive drum. Once the Hydra agent takes it after shooting her down, it magically becomes a M-1928 Thompson.
"Movie magic or some such sorcery" - Thor
Fun fact: When the first pan through the Stark Expo, the "man" in the glass tube is the original Human Torch. He was an android created by Dr. Phineas Horton. The Android had the ability to create fire and was fully aware. He became a hero during wartime. He would later team with a young man named Toro Raymond, a mutant who could generate fire too. They would team with Captain America and Major in The Invaders and ally winners Squad.
love that fun fact and wow that’s awesome you knew that!
Yes that's all true in the Earth 616 comics, however the MCU is an alternate universe with different history (technically Earth 199999). In the MCU, the Invaders and All Winners squad never existed and the android human torch was just an exhibition at the Stark Expo, he never became a superhero (in fact it's not clear if he was even functional).
Stanley Tucci(Professor Erskine) stole every scene he was in in "Undercover Blues.)
he was great and also looks familiar
@@TheOctobersReact He is in a lot of movies. "Undercover Blues" is why I know who he is.
Oh boy, a great one. Perhaps not the best, but I enjoyed all the Cap movies. Clicking play... now!
the origin story is great on this one! it’s unique and it gears us up for the avengers!
@@TheOctobersReact Indeed!!! And it was my favorite... until the next two Cap films hit ;)
EDIT - And great reaction (so far... as I am still watching right now) HAHAHA
one of the crazy things about Hitler was he indeed did experiment with all sorts of bizarre stuff, and was rumored to be pretty superstitious, so it's not particularly unbelievable that he would've had scientists testing all sorts of weaponry... I remember watching a special on these cannons he dumped money into that just fired concentrated bursts of air... his hope was they would have invisible ammunition that was infinite that he could drop planes out of the sky with, but the cannons didn't pan out, like a lot of the experimental stuff he tried... Hellboy is another popular comic character whose origin is tied to Nazis messing with supernatural stuff as well
makes sense they’d make a parallel to this bc i do recall hearing he was always trying experiments on whoever and whatever to make the army stronger, honestly so scary!
@@TheOctobersReactI’ve heard that Hitler didn’t put much funding into developing Germany’s atom bomb program. Not because he didn’t understand it’s potential.
Hitler was so danged anti-Semitic he dismissed it because many of the leading scientists in atomic theory were Jewish. Lucky for us right.
oh real quick about the grenade thing... a lot of times unless you caught it mid-air and immediately threw it you wouldn't really have time to pick it up, especially if the enemy had "cooked" it and let the fuse run a little before he threw it, so it was not unheard of for soldiers in a trench to throw themselves onto the grenade to save the soldiers standing nearby, and if you tried to pick it up it'd probably just blow up in your hand and get everybody... but totally agree, if you think you actually have the time and space to throw it, that's the better option
@@TheOctobersReact yea, nazis are terrifying! I guess that's why they make such good comic book villains
Yea he refused to attack the Vatican bc he was scared that God would come after him,so very superstitious.stupid guy he is worried that God would get him for attacking the Vatican but not worried about killing 6 million of God's chosen people??must be fun to be that insane.
Captain America is, essentially, a "peak human". He has as much strength, stamina, agility and so on as a human could possibly have (and slightly more in some cases).
we like him!
Captain America is peak human in the comics but stronger in the MCU. In the movie universe he's legit superhuman.
This movie is really good, cant wait to see the rest of the MCU series. Love the content
The one you see in there is Nala. But the other two are Mushu and Pumba! they say hello!
@@TheOctobersReact Awww great names, and from some great childhood movies.
oh yeah! Mrs October was called Mulan in high school so Mushu is her protector dragon!
There is some marvel shows you will have to watch between the movies or you will be lost. I am really enjoying you two's content.
Marvel used to have a WW2 comic strip "Sgt. Fury And His Howling Commandos" These sidekicks of Captain America are essentially them, with Bucky instead of Sgt.Fury( who became Nick Fury, agent of Shield, then its director.
oh wow he was Sgt Fury? i hope we get to learn more about his origin too!
howard star is not tony stark this is is tony's father
I CANNOT WAIT FOR SCREAM 2!!
it’s coming
Even though this movie didn’t do super well in the theaters and is usually not a fan favorite, the Captain America trilogy is widely considered the best filmmaking in Marvel. The origin story is needed to start off the trilogy in order to “world build”. Originally, Captain America was my absolute favorite Marvel superhero. That was until this movie and it’s two sequels. Steve Rogers is still an extremely close second, but I have a new favorite now. I won’t say who it is now because it might spoil some things later on. 👍🏻😉👍🏻 Just know that on average each MCU movie is better than the previous one. There are a couple of exceptions, but for the most part, it’s just a matter of personal taste. There is one much later on that is controversial on just about every level there is, but there are people who still enjoyed it. But now you have finally met the original six Avengers!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Although to this point, it’s been a wild ride. But this next movie is going to make film history. The entire MCU to date has never been done before. They had everything going against them, most people figured it would never work, but there was magic with these characters and these stories that absolutely made this whole thing work. I love watching people watch this saga because I feel like I’m discovering it for myself again. But I envy you not knowing what’s coming down the pipe. It’s all very exciting! And you’re lucky because you do it every week! The rest of us had to wait around a year for each movie to come out. 😅 I am very glad you’re enjoying it so far. But buckle up! Because you’re in for a WILD ride! BTWs, Stanley Tucci only took this role because he wanted to do a German accent. And as usual, he stole the show in every scene he was in! 🤩 And Chris Evans turned down this role twice, but Robert Downey, Jr., talked him into taking it. I am so glad he did! Since you’ve already seen the Avengers now because it’s on Patreon, I’m curious to how you like the new Hulk. 🤔Anyway, enjoy!!! ❄️🦾🙌🏻💙💙💙
Wait you did not recognize hugo weaving from the matrix ans lord of the rings but from Hacksaw ridge ? unless you havent seen those movies
haven’t unfortunately but they are on the list!
@@TheOctobersReact oh boy you are in for a treat , for me Lord of the rings movies are the greatest movies ever made
okay you convinced us we will check it out
@@MrMoonwalker1992Is Betty Ross going to be evil in Captain America 4 since she’s an elf?
Technically Bucky and Steve grew up in a poor neighborhood
Grandma gave Yinsen shooting lessons
14:07...This was awesome. Right from the start, in a movie set in the 1940s, you have a man called Johann Schmidt who speaks with a German accent and wears a Nazi uniform but only half way through said movie do you think the villains might be German? Wunderbar, absolut wunderbar! (As Schmidt might say) 😊😊😊
it was editing we knew that sorry didn’t realize it’d look so silly
@@TheOctobersReact No worries guys, we've all done it 😳
