    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."

    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".

    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.

      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.

    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.

Peggy might be dead or might be... 93-ish. My grandma just had her 95th birthday...

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    23:44 If the shield is completely vibration absorbent, then why does it make a sound when it is shot?

    • @serinx
      @serinx Рік тому +1

      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 UA-cam 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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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."

    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.
