The guy refusing to launch the carriers is one of my favorite moments in the MCU along with the old German man who stood up to Loki in the Avengers. There is just something about the simple normal people who aren't the main characters making a stand against the bad guys regardless.
Yes! And there was a little bit of that in the Toby McGuire Spiderman movies.
Captain's orders.
That and during Caps speech the two SHIELD guys that quickdrawed on the STRIKE crew that gunned them down, the quinjet crew that said "Cap needs air support" before Winter Soldier killed them and the guy who shouts "Close the bay doors!" at the control room only to get shot because they were Hydra agents.
@Techno Pirate One of the most powerfully affecting features of superheroes -- at least most of them -- is that they represent the best of us. The strongest character, the noblest ideals. They make us want to be the best we can be.
it's a nice touch because often those ppl pay the price and don't get the recognition they deserve
when u have the strength to stand up and stop somethings it's easy to do the right thing... but when you're outmatched and still do it any way because it's the right thing... that's powerful
I agree with you on them working best as close friends rather than any romantic shipping. Nat has lived as a spy using seduction techniques of being whoever or whatever a particular guy would want. When she says to Cap "Who do you want me to be?" She's leaning back into that. So his "how about a friend" drops her guard.
If it were anyone else being asked that question...
I like how cap dropped her guard down because she so use to guys wanting her in a sexual way that besides Clint cap doesn't see her that way and wants her to be a friend, a partner that he can count on.
Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson were friends since childhood. The chemistry between them in this movie is real.
I still ship them.
@@musical_lolu4811 I prefer them as friends. Im tired of all the celebrity dramas and romance. Its nice to see some genuine friends hanging out.
@@MaddMaster69 I really like their movies together...my favourite was The Nanny Diaries
Yep, she was 17 when they did that SAT Test movie (can't remember the name). Really strong bond.
@@DVouts11 THE PERFECT SCORE! Hahaha classics.
Jax's reaction to the Smithsonian scene recalling the war heroes of the first Captain America movie shows you exactly what she's made of! What heart!
That was such a beautiful scene ❤️
That was such a beautiful scene ❤️
"what happens when Tony realizes his dad was murdered by hydra?" a very insightful question.
i love the foreshadowing across the movies
Someone should make a movie about that
Civil war???@@DJ_Pyrodox
r/Woosh
honestly I dont think a lot of people realized that when they first saw this movie. Obviously hindsight is 20/20 after Civil War came out but if you honestly knew that watching that scene with Dr. Zola you're lying.
My wife and I have watched Winter Soldier so many times. It's one of our favourite Marvel movies, because top down it's perfect. From the writing, acting, story, pacing, music, sound, suspense, Sam, Steve, Nat, even that wonderfully heartbreaking scene with an older Peggy with dementia, and the shocking reveals that we didn't see coming. And the feeling that the good guys are in over their head against the Winter Soldier who is a seriously deadly person. If I could forget I saw a movie so I could watch it again for the first time, this would be one of them.
"If I could forget I saw a movie so I could watch it again for the first time, this would be one of them." So well said! There are a lot of movies that make me feel that way, which is why I love the concept of these Reaction channels. I can't make myself forget but it is so fun to watch other people get to experience that first time viewing.
@@testfire3000 Absolutely. The concept of reactions to me initially was not positive. "People watch people listening to music or watching movies? Are you kidding me?" When I found the first reaction channel I liked I realized it's the "honest" first time viewer reaction that reminded me of my first viewing. To see their joy of discovering a new song or their emotional roller-coaster watching a great movie is entertaining. Alternatively, it's just not as fun watching someone react to something they've seen before.
I served in the army, and there's a certain way that soldiers interact with each other. It comes from knowing you have that experience in common, even if you just met. The thing I love about Sam is that, from the very beginning, he doesn't treat Steve like a superhero, he treats him like a fellow soldier. That's the immediate bond you see between them.
I love that. Their bond is one of the best I've seen in the MCU. It felt really natural.
That soldier bond that Anthony Mackie portrays towards Chris Evans' Cap was the same portrayal that Terrence Howard showed towards RDJ's Tony Stark in Iron Man. They had such good chemistry, you can really see their friendship. I kind of miss it actually, sad that Don Cheadle doesn't give the same level of portrayal. Hard to see any friendship between his version of Rhodes and Tony
@@markcruz359 Hard for you, sure. I have no issue seeing the friendship between Cheadle's Rhodes and Tony. That said, Cheadle's Rhodes was hampered by sorely lacking screen time.
@@mechanomics2649 my favourite line will always be "Next time you ride with me ok" from Terrence Howard. It really showed the care he had for his friend. I would love to have seen what Terrence would have done with the exact same scripts that was given to Don Cheadle. Just wishful thinking on my part
This movie along with agents of shield daredevil and punisher are peak mcu. All four portray friendship found family and military comrades so damn well.
That reaction to finding out Fury was alive is everything xD I'm glad you enjoyed this one. It's still one of my favorites today, and I think it holds up well. It just feels more grounded than most MCU movies. Steve is definitely my favorite avenger. He's just so good through and through, and that's something people can actually aspire to be. Great to see you and Lamby as always.
TOTALLY agree about Cap and Nat’s chemistry. It doesn’t feel romantic, but more like teammates who understand each other completely…
The best descriptor I have heard is work spouse. They are very close, but rather than romantic, the relationship revolves around the shared experience on the job.
i like the fact that they didn't go for a romance between them. its similar to how nattie and clint are: close but not in the romantic sense.
@@JDP5127 except there's no weirdness vibe of having a "work spouse" , ya know?
Yeah, they have such great chemistry. I'm glad the MCU didn't go for a romance vibe between them. They both need good friends to rely on because there's so much distrust going on.
@@JDP5127 The word spouse is romantic, if it's not in your definition, you need to re-learn the word. Spouse = romantic life partner and potential co-parent.
“I’m not gonna fight you. You’re my *friend* “
“You’re my mission. *YOU’RE. MY. MISSION!* ”
“Then *finish* it. Cause I’m with you, till end of the line”
That whole exchange hell that whole scene may be one of the best in the entirety of the MCU, made me have tears in my eyes. Its because Steve doesn’t want to and would never hurt his friend or his brother, cause he loves him too much and would lay down his own life for him. The Winter Soldier is easily my favourite MCU film, even possibly it’s best and also one of the greatest spy and superhero films ever
made, it’s perfect and absolutely flawless from start to finish.
Easily my favorite MCU film and agree it’s the best. Not only is it a GREAT superhero film, it’s just a damn good film, PERIOD.
This movie is still in my top 3 MCU movies. It's exact place shifts around some. It is so well crafted, and the relationship between Cap and Nat is fantastic. It is a wonderful work wife/work husband relationship. They are very close, but it always revolves around the mission. The moment were Peggy forgets everything, and thinks she is seeing Steve for the first time is one of my favorite moments in the MCU, just watching Steve react to it, and that pain, but putting on the smile.
I have worked in long term care for Alzheimer’s patients and that scene is heartbreaking for me.
This is definitely one of the best MCU films. That scene between Peggy and Steve is so beautiful and heartbreaking. They executed everything so well. ❤️
@@reactswithjax I can't wait for you to reach Captain America: Civil War, it's going to weirder about the relationship with Peggy and her..... when it reach Avengers: Endgame
It’s the best mcu movie. Even the ones that are still great have some suspect stuff this was the most comic accurate and best movie.
What's ur top 3 movie bro?
If you want more of this whole Hydra-S.H.I.E.L.D. infiltration story (and also more Coulson), you have *got* to watch some Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.! It strived to tie into the films as each of them were coming out for a good portion of the show's lifetime, and the arcs that happened as a result of the tie in with this film were some of the show's best.
YES!!!
YMMV. I really disliked that show.
@@maxducoudray Well, to each their own I suppose. I'll admit the first five episodes in particular are a little slow, which I think made it hard to get into for a lot of people
@@TheEntrepreneurPlaybook Both excellent seasons! I also love the Ghost Rider and LMD stuff in Season 4.
yup tahiti is a magical place
P.S. There was a planned scene involving Hawkeye that they never filmed. After the elevator fight, and Cap is on the run, SHIELD was going to dispatch Barton to hunt him down. He catches up to Cap in a sunken roadway or drainage pass or something or another, and they start fighting towards one another, him firing arrows. They finally get up close and Cap takes him down, when Barton whispers that there is a tracker in his suit. He's actually helping him out, and tells Rogers to knock him out, which he does before escaping. That is why we never see Steve in that dark blue Captain Rogers suit for the rest of the movie. The scene was scrapped though.
Where was the stealth suit? He was wearing it when he escape SHIELD. He never used it again after. Although his future suits are basically the stealth suit but with the red white and blue colours
@@markcruz359 He actually does use it one more time. In a future movie.

Endgame
@@jkhoover - That was done as fan service for Evans, who had said that was his personal favorite Cap suit.
@@markcruz359 there was a scene where cap places the suit, knowing that there is a tracker in it, in a sport bag in gym or so. i guess its an official part of the deleted scenes on bluray/dvd
BTW, The Winter Soldier's theme is mainly composed of the sounds of the train and Bucky's screams as he fell off of it in Captain America 1, just pitched up. That's the screeching sound you hear in his music whenever he appears or does something badass.
The twist of his reveal was put in his very theme, and it becomes more tragic with that knowledge.
That’s actually so cool. I never knew that
"What is Tony going to do when he finds out his father was killed by Hydra?"
That would be a great question for you to remember that you asked
she just did a buildup for her future videos
Smh.
Oh my! This is going to be good! Can't wait to see how that unfolds.
Yeah about that 😅
Yes. Peggy told Steve something too. "The world has changed, and none of us can go back."
The fact you loved this movie so much and your love for Bucky and hating how they turned him into , makes me really excited and hyped for when you get to Captain America Civil War 🔥
I'm so excited for that movie! ❤🎉
I always loved the Winter Soldier’s overall vibe. The appearance, his presence, the action, story, etc. The Winter Soldier means business when he’s out in the field
Best introduction of a new character/ re-introduction of an old character by far in the MCU. All the new characters in later movies and shows pale in comparison
Yeah, the Winter Soldier is awesome!
I love how even though Bucky isn't any stronger then Cap when he hits something or someone it sounds way more violent. I think the reason why Bucky seems to always have Cap on his heels when they fight is Bucky is a ruthless assassin who isn't pulling his punches while Cap has probably always pulled his punches for fear of hurting people.
He had the super soldier serum just not caps version and a metal arm. He was as strong as Cap.
@@Vana1970 Yeah, the entire reason why Bucky survived was because of the super soldier serum.
Yes, Cap was clearly holding back a little, especially in their first fight. When ultimately he needed to, he overpowered Bucky and rendered him unconscious. Had he wanted to, he could have killed Bucky at that point, but was obviously not going to do so.
@@Vana1970 Maybe... not sure. But Cap is definitely the better fighter overall when not holding back. In Captain America: Civil War, Bucky makes very little headway in his fight with Spider-Man, but Cap basically takes Spider-Man down.
@@AgentOccam Bucky also hasn't actually fought and mainly tried to avoid conflict. He is obviously burned out after being set free from being a mere pawn for Hydra.
A few fun, disparate facts:
The voice narrating at Cap's museum is Gary Sinise (Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump) who, in real life, does a lot of work for veterans.
For Cap's list that he adds Trouble Man to, the filmmakers changed several elements of it (i.e. artists, pop culture points) depending on what print it was for different movie going regions of the world.
I thought the use of Gary Sinise was perfect, because if Cap was real, of COURSE it would be Gary Sinise speaking at his museum. It's absolutely on brand for him in real life.
Wow, I never knew that, but I think I inherently knew it, if you know what I mean.
His voice is so iconic. I never really thought about that voiceover, but if I was watching that part & you asked, “Who’s voice is that?’ I would immediately know it was Gary Sinise.
Anyone else notice that 'Star Wars' was on the list, and thought 'if Cap watches the prequels his mind will be blown when he see Mace Windy?' 😂😂😂
@@mikelarsen5836 Star Wars: Nick Fury, Jane Foster, Moon Knight, Agent May, Zuri...
Star Trek: Thor, Gamora, Doctor Strange, Leslie Dean, alternate universe Xavier...
Good thing he didn't have The Martian on his list...or Black Mirror...or Lost in Translation...or Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid...or Pulp Fiction...or How I Met Your Mother...or Snowpiercer...
Gary Sinise? I never caught that.
Jax you have rapidly become one of my favorite reactors. Watching your enthusiasm and how you catch on to small details definitely makes you a kindred spirit! Your reaction is literally like watching a movie with a friend!
when it comes to Actions this is the Best MCU movie, totally number 1. I love that it is also somehow realistic, No Aliens, no magics, no gods or mystical creatures just technology, government, politics, and military, things that do exist in the real world.
I feel the same, it is one the few I could show to someone cold and I would only need tell them quickly about Steve and then the movie does enough exposition to understand the rest. It is spy thriller in a sci-fi setting basically. The Russo bros make some fun movies.
I love the knife skills. When Bucky is fighting Steve.
"Holy mother of the Hulk" might be my favourite quote ever, I think we can all agree Jax is awesome
When Chris Evans played as The Human Torch of the Fantastic Four his life is Fun & Games. But when he play as Captain America in the Avengers he takes it seriously. He's a talented Actor.
True. For me his best work is in Danny Boyle's Sunshine.
He's great as Steve Rogers! I never saw the Fantastic Four. I've heard it's good though!
It's definitely jarring to see Chris Evans play the stoic part, but he does it *so* well!
He’s really good. I saw Fantastic Four first and hated him. I was surprised it was the same actor.
Chris Evans is truly talented. When I saw that he was going to be be Steve Rogers I was disappointed that they chose someone who'd already played a Marvel character in two movies. They a friend pointed out that he was in "Scott Pilgrim" and I was confused because I didn't remember him. And there he was, as Lucas Lee! That was the moment I knew I was wrong and that Chris would be amazing as Cap.
I cannot get over how funny your little memes and comments during the reaction lmao. As no doubt 90% of the comments likely mentioned, Wolverine isn't a supersoldier, he's a mutant and he's got healing abilities called a 'healing factor'. Yes, that metal was infused into/onto his bones and that was adamantium.
Anthony Mackie, the actor playing the Falcon was in another movie called "The Hurt Locker" with Jeremy Renner, an EXCELLENT movie, very tense, and very well reviewed - won the Academy Award for Best Picture actually. you would absolutely love it. Hope you decide to add it to your reaction list. Thank you for another great reaction and definitely looking forward to the next one!!
Secretary Pierce is played by the legendary Robert Redford, who is a titan of the industry and who has been a star -- playing almost all hero roles -- from the early 1960s well up into the 90s or even early 2000s. One of his most famous roles was as the hero of "Three Days of the Condor," a twisty, turny 1970s political thriller that was a great inspiration to this movie's plot and tone. That was why it was such an inspired piece of casting: audience members who knew of him and his history would be especially shocked at his villain turn. He had all but retired from acting, but his grandchildren told him that the MCU was a huge deal and he owed it to the industry to be a part of it.
Isn't it amazing how many reactors fail to recognise such a major movie legend.
@@mikelarsen5836 "look upon my works, Ye Mighty, and despair." we're all just dust in the wind...
Hail hydra
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is one of my favorite movies. It's hard to imagine they got Redford for a role like this, it was masterful.
@@mikelarsen5836 to be fair robert looks a lot older than he did in almost all of his prior major films, certainly older than his 70s-80s heyday.
Funny enough, he could have been Rogers if these were made 40 years earlier.
I’ve been watching reactions for this movie for a while now, but your reaction was by far the greatest I’ve seen, it’s just so joyful and fun to watch, ❤ when I first saw your Video in my for you page, I thought for sure it would be like every other reaction, but It really wasn’t, and I keep finding myself coming back to your channel 😊
I appreciate the length of your reaction edit. The movie is dense with great moments and huge twists and I'm glad you included everything you did. Honestly IMO this is the best reaction to this movie, you track the plot very well and draw a lot of insightful comparisons, observations and predictions as you go. You have a comfortable balance of narration but also pay attention and don't talk over important dialogue etc. Your genuine investment in the characters is a delight. Great to be along with your ride through the MCU. You'll love Civil War.
17:53 just realised that this is the same song played at the end of endgame when Steve was with Peggy. Nice call back
One of the best Winter Soldier reactions on UA-cam! Great job, Jax! Winter Soldier is in my top 3 MCU movies. A political thriller with a comic book super hero as the lead role. Worked so well. The writers of this movie and the directors, aka the Russo Brothers, did an amazing job here as did all the actors. Phenomenal!
Wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate you saying that. This was such an incredible film. It's become one of my MCU favorites.❤️
@@reactswithjax One thing reactors miss due to watching this movie awhile later is that when it premiered the media and tv show landscape at the time was directly affected. Season 1 of Agents of Shield was airing when Winter Soldier premiered. The episodes of the show were directly affected by the events in the movie. I don't think I'd ever seen tv shows showing consequences from a movie that just aired. And the memes on twitter were hilarious. People were sending pics of themselves whispering 'Hail Hydra' into their friends ears; tons of memes were created. Winter Soldier was an Event.
Your reaction to Sharon at 18:48 "You terrible person!" had me laughing my rear end off!! That was great! Excellent, excellent reaction video, Jax. You're always so much fun. This is my absolute favorite MCU movie and one of my favorite movies hands down. I envy you seeing it for the first time. When I got home from seeing it in the theatre back in 2014 I immediately ordered a replica of Cap's shield which is prominently displayed in my collection. Just like you, Captain America and Black Widow are my two favorite characters in the MCU. You have amazing taste in super heroes!
Boy, this one was a ride, huh? Your reactions to the Falcon and Bucky reveals were everything I'd hoped they'd be! And the outrage at the Fury reveal was VERY funny. I know you engage with chat a lot, be wary of spoilers; you might want to get a mod onto it - or just remind people in a video - to be careful with comments, coz as it continues to ramp up from here, I think there might be a lot more of the "helpful advice" that turns out to preempt later reveals, like Bucky's return.
Sam and Cap are EVERYTHING!!! He’s such a ride or die
oh man, you've just entered the golden age of MCU films. I'm super excited to see what you think of some upcoming ones! 👀
This continues till endgame and that's the best part❤❤
I'm thrilled to be so far along in the MCU! Can't wait to see what's to come!
@@reactswithjax Hey, just to be clear; should we let you know (way) ahead of time when to bring tissues ?
You’re good now atm; but it’s just in case though for YOUR personal comfort.
Anyway, yea, Winter Soldier is personally a Top 4 MCU movie for me. It’s EXCELLENT! 🔥
Anyway, I’m really glad that you loved this film ❤💯😎👍
I love that you appreciate how sad and tragic Bucky’s story is. His story breaks my heart. I LOVE Bucky so much and adore Sebastian Stan’s really nuanced portrayal. He’s SO good. Bucky is my fave, along with Steve and Nat.
Bucky is such a great character ❤️
"Do you have a 20 on the shooter?" means, "Do you have a location on the shooter?"
"20" is shortened from 10-20 (from Ten Codes, usually used in radio transmissions), which means "what's your location?" or simply, "location".
also feels like a reference to ''20-20 vision'', meaning ''good eyes on the threat'' in this context
*In CB radio, military radio, paramilitary radio, police radio talk, like "10-4 good buddy" ("I understand what you just said, good buddy"), a "10-20" means "Location". So, "What's your 20" is, "Where ya at?". "We have a 20 on so-n-so is, "We have a location on him" and "We know where he is". The "10" is usually left out once it's like a 2nd language.*
FUN FACT: Captain America is "Weapon 1" the very first test subject to be turned into a super soldier. Wolverine was "Weapon X (10)". I really wish the MCU explores more of this. But if you look back theres already been a few human weapons test subject from Hulk to Bucky and even Black Widow. But whether they count as a part of the Weapons 1 - 10 programs im not sure
I'm sure they will, eventually, but people really need to stop confusing her by throwing comic facts into the mix. At this point in the MCU neither Wolverine nor the mutants nor adamantium nor the Weapon X program even exist.
This is my favourite MCU movie. I love that it's basically a spy thriller, but with superheroes. It's so different from anything else in the MCU, it's great.
Accidentally found your channel and I regret I haven't found it sooner. Love your reactions watching recently. You've still much to watch, especially in Marvel movies. Hoping to see more soon!😊❤️
Thank you SO much! I love that you are enjoying my reactions!! ❤️🎉
Had to come back to this because it’s such a dope reaction! Also to thank you for being a really wholesome reactor 🙂 you’re the only reactor I’m subbed to that doesn’t need to swear or create wild reactions. Thank you Jax and happy holidays!!!
I love that Robert Redford is in the MCU... And sad that so many MCU fans are too young to recognize him...
That honestly surprised the hell out of me.
I am old enough to know who, but it took this long for me to actually see him in a movie. Somehow nothing he ever did has crossed my eyes before.
@@MGower4465 Not even Butch Cassidy? Or The Natural? Not even The Sting?! 🤨
I liked his earlier movies, but one of my favorites is among his later films, "An Unfinished Life," with Jennifer Lopez, Morgan Freeman, Josh Lucas, and Camryn Manheim.
I recognized Robert Redford instantly! He's such a great actor. I just was more focused on the guy he was talking to who was from a show I used to watch. But I was having a hard time remembering where I'd seen him before.
The female SHIELD Director Nat portrayed is Jenny Augutter, the female lead in the SCFI movie "Logan's Run".
Howard said that Steve's shield was all of the vibranium THEY had.
After following your last few reactions and impressed by both your empathy and passionate resolve. I have subscribed to follow you during your adventures in the MCU. You are truly a fan. You care as much about these characters as much as I do. 👍 During my lifetime, from way back in the 2oth century, the comic books these characters come is much different than the movies. But the adjustmade to them were necessary to make sense to the modern audience. The best part is the special effects have caught up enough to give them the action scenes that weren't possible in the past. The tradeoff is sometimes the abridged versions do not resemble the ones of the fans of the comics. By and large, these movies are successful because they reach a wider audience of people, like yourself, who get to enjoy the heroes of my youth in a different way.
Keep watching. Keep making your predictions. Keep smiling. And keep Lamby nearby. You are going to suffer some heartbreak along the way. But know that your subscribers are here for you. Until next time, Enjoy.
Glad you enjoyed this so much, your reactions were priceless. This is one of my favorite Marvel movies, can't wait for you to see the rest
Apologies if someone has already mentioned this, but at 13:25, the actor you're thinking of is Alan Dale, who played the Director of NCIS for the first two seasons of the show.
One of the best. No gods. No hulks. No Iron Man armor. But... one of the most on the edge of your seats films ever. I love how these Marvel films are all different. Some are origin stories. Some are team films. Films with fancy tech. Films with magic... This one was a political thriller. The next one is a space fantasy film. Genres keep flipping around, but the Marvel Universe moves on. Can't wait for your next reaction!
It's so true that these films all have a different feel to them. I love that it never gets boring. I'm so glad you enjoyed this reaction. I'm looking forward to seeing where this story goes. ❤️
43:30 it's not that he's a better fighter than Steve, he just isn't holding back because he intends to kill unlike Steve
fun fact- at 6:45, the french guy Captain America fights is legendary UFC fighter Georges St-Pierre. he isnt exactly an actor, but is french-Canadian and can really throw down. I always thought it was cool that they asked him to play this part.
Same
The Cap movies are consistently the best because they are so grounded in real, complex emotions and concerns. Everyone can relate to loneliness and the grief of losing the people you love, and feeling unsure and overwhelmed in today's society. This one and Civil War were the peak of the MCU for sure.
1) I love how into this universe you are. It is a lot of fun watching these with you =)
2) You pay close attention and catch things a lot of other "reacters" don't.
3) you're funny (and so is your editor)
There is so much fun ahead and i look forward to the journey. Subscribed.
She asked a Very Important Question right after the bunker scene 😎
Bucky's arm is made of titanium which is the 4th strongest metal on Earth(reality not in movie context).
And no, Wolverine is not a super soldier. He is a mutant that can heal superfast and had bone claws.
But he was then enhanced by adding Adamantium injected into his bones making him indestructible.
I thought Bucky's arm is made of Vibrinium from Wakanda.
@@coxmosia1 Later on yes... but before that no Hydra didn't have Vibranium.
This is top tier MCU. Oh god, and now I'm so excited for Guardians of the Galaxy!
This is one of my favorite MCU movies now! It's so good. I'm looking forward to the next film!!
Friendly reminder that the laser thing that Nick Fury used to escape (The Mouse Hole) was created by Fitz from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. [17:03]
“All the storylines are converging. I love that there is so much intricacy.” Oh Jax, you ain’t seen nothing yet! 😂
I can't wait to see how it all unfolds!! This is going to be so fun! 🎉
I just found your channel and I love your reactions! You care about these characters and you love the MCU. You GET references, they don't just all fly over your head! I've seen all of the MCU movies and during this movie a lot of your reactions made me say... well... "not yet" lol Once you've seen all the movies, you'll know just how often I said that XD I'm subbing for sure! So I can watch all your reactions! I just LOVE geeking out over these movies! You seem like a friend I can share that vibe with! That and you're beautiful. Just being honest haha! Can't wait to see you enjoy the rest of these movies! You're in for quite the ride Jax! Enjoy!
Welcome to Marvel at its best . Agents of Shield was shot right around this time line and it was fantastic . Robert Redford in his youth did a Movie called Day of the Condor it had this movies feel and is extremally worth your time . Strap in Jax its about to get Hot in the World of Marvel !!!
Idk if you noticed, but the narrator at the museum talking about Steve Rogers is Gary Sinise (played Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump ☺️). He got so much love from soldiers and vets because of the role, he ended up getting involved and starting one of the best charities that helps soldiers n vets. You should look up the houses they build. It’s like it’s out of The Jetson’s!! Amazing stuff. He also has a band and goes n plays for the soldiers often. So it was pretty cool it was someone with great love for soldiers talking about Capt Steve Rogers ☺️
I watched this reaction yesterday and enjoyed it immensely! Today, I came back to watch parts of it again just to see this: 43:53! Jax, that may be the best series of facial expressions I have ever seen in a reaction! 🤣 We were all waiting for it, and it was worth the wait! Thank you so much! 👍👍
@25:53 It’s not just the shield that protects Cap. It’s the super soldier serum running in his veins + his genius intelligence + sheer will & relentless determination all in one package.. that analyzes and calculates risk with all Math and Physics happening so fast in his brain.. that protects him.
This movie is easily my favorite from the whole franchise. I just love it. As you kept making guesses, I found myself muttering repeatedly “yeah, about that…” 😜 Thanks for letting me relive the joy through your eyes. 🙏🏻
"I wonder if she (Peggy) had a daughter." Yes, probably, also she is 72 years old. Granddaughter, 50 years old. Great Granddaughter, 30 years old. But I appreciate the thought.
Aaaannd that is why this is my favorite MCU movie....great reactions Jax 😁👍
Jax has already watched Endgame but anyone recognize the song playing in Steve's apartment? I thought that Captain America The First Avenger was very "America" cliché and it was pretty predictable but The Winter Soldier really took it up a notch. Some of the best fights in the MCU.
This movie is considered on of the best ever MCU movies. This is in my top 5. I can remember seeing the trailer for this in the theater and when The Winter Soldier caught the shield everyone yelled. You knew you had to see it. And yes keep tissues with you going forward 😂.
Incredible reaction! Just found this channel, but I’ll be binging your MCU vids ASAP
I'm really glad they never developed Nat and Cap's friendship into something more, it's like her and Hawkeye, and I love that. We really need more male/female friendships and media, far too often it's said that men and women can't be friends but that just isn't true. It also plays well into Natasha's character. She would have a hard time devoting herself to one person with the work she does, and her history, so it just became an aspect of her personality to tease her friends, sometimes it's jokes, sometimes it's flirting, but it's never serious.
This movie was really great, it's in the running for my favorite, but it kinda ties with captian america the first avenger, civil war, guardians of the galaxy, and infinity war. All are very different movies but are great for their own reasons, so it makes it really hard to compare them in my mind, it's like they are all tied for first.
It broke my heart seeing peggy and realizing she had alzheimer's. I do agree though, you should watch agent carter, it's really good. It was kind of a double whamey for cap this movie, seeing peggy like that and then seeing bucky like he was. Both forgetting who they were, but for very different reasons. Neither truly forgetting steve.
Bringing back zola as the new head of hydra was wild. And him setting up his base inside S.H.I.E.LD. which was set up at the base where steve trained, such great callbacks, and so many corruptions of steve's happy memories. All of them tied into shield in one way or another, no wonder he wanted to burn it all down.
As always, loved your reaction.
I still remember watching this in the theater and the audible gasp I let out when they revealed Bucky 😆 Just found your channel! Def subscribing and binging your reactions 💕💕
“Did she have a daughter?!” Jax!!! Wow!!! 😂😂
Cuz that would be weird...😮
Hahaha!
A big theme in this movie is how different Steve's occupation is now that he's joined the 21st century, how all the lines that were once clear have been blurred. And Steve's discomfort with that stays a theme for the rest of his time in the MCU; in fact the first instance where you can see how different Steve operates is when, rather than stealthily sneak into the helicarrier hangars, Steve decides to get on the PA system, lay out the situation for everyone in the building, and trust people to do the right thing.
Great reaction, Jax! This one is a top 3 MCU movie for sure.
Yes, in the first Captain America movie was saw Steve rescue Bucky from a medical table in the Red Skull's base... So HYDRA had been experimenting upon him while captured, which improved his healing/durability- that's why he was able to to survive falling into the canyon (although he lost an arm). By the way, the Winter Soldier's cybernetic arm isn't made of vibranium, just a conventional highly durable alloy (probably carbon steel or titanium) like Tony's armor.
But HYDRA's process wasn't completed yet, Bucky wasn't transformed into a full-fledged super-soldier until after Zola & HYDRA recovered Bucky after his fall from the train. Remember he was part of Captain America's Howling Commando team for several months, and he didn't exhibit any super-strength or speed during that time. So apparently he only got fully upgraded after they'd brainwashed him.
While the formula for Dr Erskine's super-soldier was lost with his death, many governments and private organizations tried to replicate it over the years, with varying degrees of success. Some wound up being very similar to the original serum, but with negative side effects. Remember in the Hulk movie, General Ross had a two-stage injectable serum that he used on Blonsky, but it had negative side-effects of increased aggression and impaired judgement. In larger doses it caused skeletal deformation. The formula that Zola used on Bucky was most likely reverse-engineered from the Red Skull's blood.
Captain America all the way up to Civil War is peak Marvel. For sure because of the grand scale end game is hard to beat, and the unorthodox plot and ending of infinity war make that one by far the best, but apart from the last two movies Winter soldier and civil war are 9.9/10
No one calls him Nicholas or Nick. They all call him Fury.
Not even his mother...
If he had kids, they’d call him Fury
Lmao came here to say this ....
Or "director"
You can call him by his name. No one is everyone you don’t know
This is probably considered the best stand alone MCU stand alone movie and maybe overall actually.
1st Iron man as well
My favourite moments are the little details showing the real SHIELD agents trying to stop Hydra agents: during Caps speech the two SHIELD guys that quickdrawed on the STRIKE crew that gunned them down, the quinjet crew that said "Cap needs air support" before Winter Soldier killed them and the guy who shouts "Close the bay doors!" at the control room only to get shot because they were Hydra agents.
Great, great reaction! This is such a detailed and twisty movie that it keeps you guessing and intrigued. Plus the action is top notch (the fight starting at the overpass is one of the best in the MCU). And they pay off so much on the relationships started in Caps first movie and it'll continue.
So excited to watch you explore this universe!
This takes me back to when Agents of SHEILD was on abc and the show and movies had some events happening at the same time.
And yes, Tahiti is a magical place.
In regards to why are they're "aiming" for the shield: they're not aiming for the shield (hah, pun not intended) they're aiming for the body, which is how soldiers and police etc are trained. This all happened very quickly, so it would just have been reflexive.
Also, speaking of reflexes, Cap's reaction time is so fast that even if they did change the direction of their aim he'd probably adjust for it anyway at that distance.
Damn, I love your reaction and your emotions so much, the way you react to jokes and more. Your smile is so kind and sweet, I can't 😩
And I'm so glad you like the Marvel movies. There are still a lot of pictures ahead (including TV shows) and I will be glad to see every reaction to them (and not only in this franchise).
You are one of those reactionaries who want to stroke through the screen (I don’t know how to explain it)
P.S. By the way, if you do not want spoilers (and they will definitely be in the comments), then it is better to ask the moderators (or how it works, I don’t know for sure) to delete such messages. Because without them emotions will be even better
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like my reactions ❤️🎉 Yeah, I need to look into getting a moderator. That's a great suggestion!
I love the intensity you bring to these videos with your focus and passion. I also love the fun self deprecation. Keep up the great work!
The Winter soldier's arm is not vibranium because black widows stinger disc burned it also the Winter soldier is aware of everything that he does but have no control over it
Loved your intro, really warmed up to the movie before even starting!
Steve and Nat's chemistry is terrific. Yes, they are much closer friends now and trust each other 100%. I think about the scene in the car when Nat asks "Who do you want me to be"? I believe she was testing the waters. If Steve had been interested in her, I am sure she would have gone for it, but they are both stronger as friends.
Congrats on making it through Iron Man 3 and Thor 2. Now the great movies start!
Both of those are great films
This was such a great entry into the MCU. Making a spy/espionage movie with Captain America at the center. You see the difference between Cap who is a soldier and Black Widow who is a spy and learning to navigate a world that is not black and white.
Ever since you started the MCU ive been frothing for your reaction in this film. By far my favourite because it touches on so many themes and manages to pull of such a unique style in the MCU. Russo Bros really got it right.
I am so slow 😂I just realized @ 51:20 that this is not the first time Scarlett Johansson and Robert Redford have worked together, anyone remember “The Horse Whisperer”? That must have been pretty cool for them.
This was definitely my favorite Captain America. If you want to see what happens to Phil Coulson you should watch Agents of Sheild .You won't see Bucky again until Captain America Civil War.
This was such a great movie! I'll have to check Agents of Shield out!
I loved your reaction to this SO MUCH, it's like watching with an unspoiled friend. :D This is my favorite Marvel movie by far, the way they set it up with more of a spy movie/thriller sort of vibe, the relationships between everybody (Steve and Bucky are my ride or die relationship). I'm a nerd for fight scenes, and this one delivers them in SPADES. The elevator is absolutely inspired, and his first fight with the Soldier is SO visceral. And the sound design is awesome... every time they show us the Soldier in a fight the music goes kind of deep and screeching like you're suddenly inside his messed up head where that IS the soundtrack.
Tahiti - Its a magical place!
Bucky really does have one of the best storylines and this is why he's my favourite male character (fav female character is Wanda).
Great Reaction......
The List that Steve has in his notebook, changed geographiclly based on where the movie was released (USA/England/France/Asia)......
That is SO cool!! What a great detail to add to the movie! ❤️
Bucky has a top 3 worst life in the MCU. And it ain't number 3. Sebastian Stan does such a great job portraying just how tortured he truly is.
That's why that senator wanted Tony Stark's suits because "Hydra Wanted it" Tony knew better to say no, man these movies were planned way ahead its crazy 🤯
Great sequel to a great film and a stand out among all the Marvel films!
Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson have been friends in real life since they were about 12 years old, which explains their incredible chemistry.
I don't see that anyone else has touched on this, so I will. When Nat and Steve arrive at Sam's place, Natasha looks at the folder that Sam gave her and notices that Sam was a PJ. "PJ" is the nickname for the people in one of the special forces arms of the US Air Force: Pararescue. When other special forces units get stuck someplace, frequently behind enemy lines, it's PJs who go get them. Their motto is "These Things We Do, That Others May Live." They are the most kick-ass paramedics in the world. The training is 2 years long and has an 80% attrition rate, about the same or slightly higher than the attrition rate for Navy SEALs. In short, Sam's a bad ass.
Wow, thanks for explaining that. I wasn't aware how difficult it was to be a Pararescue. Sam really is incredible.
@@reactswithjax Hey, if you even knew the Air Force HAD special ops, you're way ahead of most people. Everyone knows the Ranger, SEALs, and Green Berets, but most people don't know about PJs or CCT.
I was Air Force, so it's great to have someone like Sam repping my branch.
Hey, Jacqueline! Marvel films hit their stride with "Winter Soldier" and it remains one of the highest regarded films in the saga. The movie represents a tonal shift in the MCU towards mature, gritty storytelling with real-world consequence which roped in many non-superhero enthusiasts. It was made in the style of 1970s political thrillers like "Three Days of the Condor" and "The Parallax View" with a healthy dose of "The Manchurian Candidate". As with all the best espionage films, the story was expertly filled with twists, double-crosses, skullduggery and shocking revelations culminating with an incredible race-against-the-clock crisis. Showing Captain America break faith with the institutions he serves due to his disillusionment with systemic corruption is extraordinary and demonstrates his integrity. The plot is drawn from 'The Winter Soldier' arc of Ed Brubaker's legendary 134-issue run on "Captain America" during the 2000s. Paired with the moody, naturalistic illustrations of Steve Epting, the duo revitalized the character and his supporting cast for post-modern readers. The bold move of resurrecting Bucky Barnes and reframing his legacy was a stroke of brilliance that left an impactful mark on latter-day Marvel comics. The element of SHIELD being infiltrated by subversives is drawn from the 1988 limited series "Nick Fury vs. SHIELD" written by Bob Harras and illustrated by Paul Neary. The Triskelion as the headquarters for SHIELD was lifted directly from Marvel's secondary Ultimate Universe line although the film locates it in DC on the Potomac whereas the comics set it in New York Harbor. Similarly, the technological interpretation of Falcon is a nod to the Ultimate iteration of the character whereas the original Marvel iteration can telepathically communicate with birds and has a glider harness with mylar wings and titanium ribbing.
Co-directors Joe and Anthony Russo were untested filmmakers who landed the plum gig after Kevin Feige saw their two-episode stint on the TV sitcom "Community"! Nevertheless, the brothers knocked this film out of the park and were tapped again to continue guiding the good Captain's adventures down the line. The action sequences are phenomenally staged but grounded enough that you feel the weight of each impact and only realize you're watching a superhero film when Steve intermittently exceeds human limits. The opening hostage rescue, the Fury ambush, the sniper attack, the elevator brawl, the Quinjet takedown, the freeway chase, the underpass shoot-out and the climactic Triskelion assault are all top-tier set pieces that are thrilling to watch! Despite wall-to-wall action, there is enough downtime to prevent fatigue, to advance plot like Hydra's insidious long-game and to build character like Steve's bedside scene with a senile Peggy. I especially like the use of the real-life 'Operation: Paperclip' in which 1,500 Nazi scientists and engineers were granted immunity and recruited by the CIA's precursor, the OSS, to work for the US government. In the film, Hydra scientists like Arnim Zola use the opportunity of this brain-drain to embed themselves in SHIELD from its very inception.
The cast is remarkable. Steve Rogers comes into sharp focus here and Chris Evans truly made the Captain his own the third time around. Carrying over from "The First Avenger", Sebastian Stan returns as a grimly resurrected James Buchanan 'Bucky' Barnes aka The Winter Soldier, Toby Jones lends his voice to the disembodied digital form of Dr. Arnim Zola and Hayley Atwell briefly appears as an aged Peggy Carter. Anthony Mackie makes a strong, likable impression as Sam Wilson aka Falcon as does Emily VanCamp as undercover Agent 13. They join returning allies Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow, Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill and Samuel L. Jackson as Col. Nick Fury who gets showcased in a hair-raising action sequence all his own! Having an actor of Robert Redford's stature play Alexander Pierce was not only a casting coup but paid tribute to his role in "Three Days of the Condor"! Rounding out the villain roster is Frank Grillo as a pre-Crossbones Brock Rumlow and UFC welterweight champion Georges St.-Pierre as French mercenary Georges Batroc the Leaper, two traditional Cap antagonists. Callan Mulvey plays the itchy trigger-fingered double-agent Jack Rollins. Maximiliano Hernandez as Agent Jasper Sitwell, who was introduced in "Thor" and was seen throughout the saga in films, One-Shots and "Agents of SHIELD" episodes, is revealed as a Hydra sleeper along with Garry Shandling as Senator Stern returning from "Iron Man 2". The head of Hydra himself, Baron Wolfgang von Strucker, played by Thomas Kretschmann, puts in a cameo for the end-credit scene as do the Maximoff twins, Pietro aka Quicksilver and Wanda aka Scarlet Witch, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen. World Security Council members leave their shadowed holo-conference screens to show up in person this time with European representative Hawley, played by Jenny Agutter, being the only returnee from "Avengers". North American Councilman Rockwell is played by Alan Dale, South Asian Councilman Singh is played by Bernard White and East Asian Councilman Yen is played by Chin Han. Steven Culp and Nestor Serrano have bit parts as irate Congressional Committee members who grill Natasha. Gary Sinise lends his voice to the Captain America Smithsonian exhibit as narrator.
TRIVIA:
1. Nick Fury relates that his grandfather was an elevator operator which is what Samuel L. Jackson's real-life grandfather did for a living.
2. When Alexander Pierce opens his refrigerator, a jar of Newman's Own sauce is clearly visible as an homage to the two times Redford and Paul Newman shared the screen.
3. Steve's catch-up list differed by country but had seven fixed items: Thai food, Star Wars, Star Trek, Nirvana, Rocky, Rocky II and Troubleman. The countries for which items were added to the list include the US, the UK, Australia, Italy, France, Spain, Russia, Brazil, South Korea, Mexico and the Spanish-speaking countries of South America collectively.
4. Nick Fury's tombstone bears the epitaph "The path of the righteous man. Ezekiel 25:17". This was Jules Winnfield's favorite verse in "Pulp Fiction", a character Jackson is famous for playing.
5. The Winter Soldier's moniker comes from the Thomas Paine quote that "the summer soldier and sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." 'He' is the winter soldier, the inverse of 'the summer soldier'.
EASTER EGGS:
1. When Steve and Natasha enter the old SHIELD headquarters at Camp Lehigh, they find portraits of SHIELD's three founders: Colonel Chester Phillips, Howard Stark and Peggy Carter.
2. Sitwell reveals Zola's algorithm is targeting potentially problematic persons of interest like Bruce Banner and Stephen Strange. This is the first reference to Doctor Strange in the saga.
3. Agent 13's real name is revealed as Sharon by Natasha. This hints at her familial tie to another MCU character for comic readers who know the implication of the name.
4. Although corrupt in the film, Jack Rollins is the actual name of a heroic SHIELD agent from the "Nick Fury vs. SHIELD" comics who alerts Fury to the enemy infiltration.
CAMEOS:
1. Co-director Joe Russo plays the underground doctor tending to Nick Fury during the scene where he reveals he's alive.
2. Captain America scribe Ed Brubaker plays the bearded Hydra scientist tending to the Winter Soldier during the scene where Pierce orders his mind wiped.
3. Stan Lee plays the Smithsonian security guard who discovers that Cap's World War II uniform has been stolen.
END-CREDIT SCENES:
1. Hydra leader Baron Wolfgang von Strucker plots to sacrifice minor Hydra cells to the ensuing manhunt while consolidating remaining resources to advance their research on the Chitauri Scepter and the two surviving guinea pigs of their human experimentation, the Maximoff twins, who are seen exploring their nascent abilities to move faster than the eye can see and to manipulate objects probabilistically.
2. Bucky visits the Captain America exhibit at the Smithsonian to learn about his and Steve's past.
The next chronological stop in the MCU are Episodes 17 - 22 of Season 1 of "Agents of SHIELD" which complete the first season of the show.
Creating a comment to read all this because I love all this info 🥳 Media makes us better; thanks fam
I sat here and read all of that, I`m glad I did thank you.✌🏿
This was such a great reaction, it was a whole roller-coaster of emotions for you 😂 loved to see that. Was looking forward to your reactions on Steve-Nat and Steve-Sam bond and the Nick fury reveal and they didn't disappoint.
I just wish you wouldn't have talked over Cap's big speech, it was such a an inspiring moment always gives me chills.
Thanks! Yeah, his speech was wonderful! ❤️
Jax is, without a doubt, the sweetest thing.
19:01 "do we have a 20" is basically just code for "do we know the location of" usually used by police. It's part of the police 10 code like how they say "10-4" over radio to pretty much say "understood". 10-20 just means "location" & the 10 before is usually omitted to save time so they just ask for the 20.
