"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.
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.
@@Grekus12387 THE PERFECT SCORE! Hahaha classics.
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.
That is what makes Captain America truly dangerous because he can inspire others to stand up and be counted.
People like Cap makes folks what to charge into the fray.
@@technopirate304 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.
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.
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.
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.
Nat is the bratty little sister, Steve never had
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 ❤️
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! ❤🎉
"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."
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
“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.
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.
One of the best Winter Soldier reactions on CZcams! 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.
"Holy mother of the Hulk" might be my favourite quote ever, I think we can all agree Jax is awesome
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!
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 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.
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.
Cap and Nat was always my ship. They're perfect together. Literally amazing in every scene. The genuine affection comes through everytime
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.
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.
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
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.
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. ❤️
"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
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!
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.
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!!
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
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.
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
“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! 🎉
“Did she have a daughter?!” Jax!!! Wow!!! 😂😂
Cuz that would be weird...😮
Hahaha!
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.
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 😎
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 !!!
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.
Howard said that Steve's shield was all of the vibranium THEY had.
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!! ❤️🎉
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 😂.
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.
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!!!
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!
Congrats on making it through Iron Man 3 and Thor 2. Now the great movies start!
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! 👍👍
Sam and Cap are EVERYTHING!!! He’s such a ride or die
Aaaannd that is why this is my favorite MCU movie....great reactions Jax 😁👍
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
"Tahiti is a magical place" is a line from Coulson in Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm not gonna spoil it what it means or how deep that goes. But it does make it worth watching. In fact the reason why Fury leaves for Europe in the end. Well darn it..almost could not help myself.
As a old time Marvel fan this movie was great. Cap is only second to Spider-Man my favourite. Especially because they both stand for the same thing. The little guy. Bucky being the Winter Soldier was old hat to me. Yet to watch it in a movie was glorious. This movie shows exactly who Cap is. Vulnerable,not indestructible,fair and a heart of gold to friends. Which makes them go through hell and back for him. A natural born leader. A quality shared by Spider-Man as well.
*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.*
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.
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 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!!
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!
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.
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 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 hate not knowing." Then this spy thriller did its job.
"I'm so suspicious of everybody." That means writers Christopher Markus & Steven McFeely and Directors Joe and Anthony Russo did their job.
The elevator fight when you realize you are right. Priceless.
Love that you are focused on the details like smudgy fingerprints on the glass. People with children can sympathize. 😂
One of the best MCU movies if not the best.
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!
Soooo excited for this movie! Still one of my favorites in the whole MCU. The Natasha and Steve team up is not something I knew I needed until this movie, and as far as I'm concerned, there can never be enough of those two working together.
So true about Natasha and Steve! I hope they work together in future movies. Their chemistry is great. Also, this is one of my favorite MCU movies as well! ❤️
23:20 i love how pierce threatened cap like he could do anything😭🙏🏼
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.
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 🤯
I love that it's 15 years since the MCU began and new people are still enjoying it for the first time. I just wish people could enjoy it in a theater because MCU cinema experience is pretty special.
"Holy mother... of... the Hulk!" LOL!!!
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!
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! ❤️
I cannot tell you how much fun I had watching you anticipate and then see what happened. After the first couple, I went in the kitchen and popped some corn 🍿, because it was just getting better and better. This is one of the best movies ever made, and so much spun off of this. The entire second season of Agents of Shield was an aftermath of this movie and was really the only season of that show I truly enjoyed. They threw you a lot of curveballs and you swung over most of them (baseball reference⚾😁), but when you grabbed "Lambie," it just warmed my heart. I remember Lambie from your How To Train Your Dragon reaction, and I nearly had convulsions when the dragons ate the sheep and you clentched your little friend to protect him. Then you gently set him back down so he wouldn't have to see any more. There is a great (and very cool) humanity in you, and I truly love it. when you said "I just need to stop predicting," I just sort of nodded my head, but it wouldn't have been so much fun. You have so much ahead of you in the MCU, and many of the things you said will be dealt with later ... enjoy the wild, wild ride! I'm certainly going to be here with you. You are a serious kick on the backside, and that's a great thing! Also, The Agent Carter series (which originally showed on ABC for two seasons) is available on Disney+ and you would love it. It takes place between Steve's death in The First Avenger and the founding of Shield. Despite the acronym, I find it beautiful that Peggy helped to found SHIELD ... I wonder how much the name was a tribute to Cap. It wasn't in the comics, but it certainly could have been in the MCU.
OK, I just need to point out that the kitchen is not a place for pooping corn or anything else. that's what bathrooms are for.
@@scalefree Thanks for pointing out my crappy mistyping. I fixed it, thereby removing laughs for anybody reading it. 🤣
@@chadbennett7873 Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so grateful that you enjoyed this reaction so much. This movie was so wonderful and has definitely become one of my favorites in the MCU. I'm so happy you want to go on this Marvel journey with me. I'll have to check out both Agents of Shield and Agent Carter. I love the idea that Cap's shield may have influenced SHIELD's name. P.S. I laughed out loud for a solid minute at the "pooping corn" typo! 😂
@@reactswithjax Yeah, sometimes my fingers play embarrassing pranks on my brain, or is it the other way around? The Winter Soldier ranks at the top of my superhero movies, followed by Captain America - The First Avenger and Wonder Woman. WW is a WW1 female version of The First Avenger in many ways, while staying true to Wonder Woman's story. So very glad you felt about this movie as you did. See you along your journey, just know we're with you.
19:01 A "20" or more accurately a "10-20" means location. "Do you have a 20? = "Do you have a location?"
@18:27 “Holy mother of the Hulk.” She keeps coming up with new expressions. 🤣
The only thing about CA: Winter Soldier that makes me sad... is that we could have had this level of awesome with Black Widow : (
If you want to find out what happens to Coulson and why Tahiti is a magical place, that's all in Marvel's Agents of Shields, which is not really a part of the MCU but still related. The quality isn't on par with MCU if we're being honest, but it's a thoroughly enjoyable show as long as you don't expect cinematic masterpiece quality.
it starts off rocky and very disjointed, almost like a comic serial where the stories aren't overly connected, but adds little bits of lore in off handed comments
but then after it finds it's footing (approx. episodes 6-16 in S1) it takes off, the first....4 seasons, were exceptional
but yes, there's only so much you can do in 30 mins of screentime per hit, compared to the 90min-2h 30min timeframe allotted for a movie
AoS is miles better than any "actual" MCU show and one of, if not the top, comic book shows period. It's really amazing when you think about how limited their budget was and how massive most of their seasons were episode count wise was, being network tv, yet they were still able to produce such an amazing show with great CGI(for the most part) and really tight storylines.
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!
"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.
Holy Mother of the Hulk that was a very enjoyable reaction, Jax. I appreciate your sense of humour and yes, I agree that this movie is a Tip Top MCU entry. Excellent writers and directors who will return... Seeing this in the cinema was a great experience. We didn't expect to see Peggy which was incredibly bittersweet, and her dementia moment was very sad. The "return" of Zola, Bucky and the excellent chemistry between Chris and Scarlett - just a fantastic film. I'm glad you are enjoying your MCU journey and look forward to the next instalment. The nearer you get to Endgame, the more careful you may have to be to avoid spoilers, so I hope your viewers will be kind in the comments. Guardians 1 up next..., see you then!
Bucky's arm is actually made of Titanium. At the time, it was the strongest known metal other than Vibranium but is only a metal. It doesn't have all the other extraordinary properties that Vibranium has. It is also weaker than Ironman's armor which was made of a Titanium Alloy which is supposed to be 3-4 times stronger than Titanium.
So. Yes there is a plot hole here but allowed for narrative. But Cap's shield in reality would have been able to slice right through Bucky's arm if used as a weapon.
The female SHIELD Director Nat portrayed is Jenny Augutter, the female lead in the SCFI movie "Logan's Run".
First time watching your reactions, I absolutely love your authenticity, and honesty. It makes this so much more enjoyable to watch. I am now a subscriber and am going back to watch the rest of your MCU reactions. Please keep them coming.
Jax is, without a doubt, the sweetest thing.
If a Superhero ask for your help you can't say no. Also our new ally Sam Wilson aka The Falcon.
Sam Wilson is awesome in this! One of my new favorite characters!! ❤️
"You could have warned me I needed to bring tissues..."
Me "No, fuck you." XD
Bucky really does have one of the best storylines and this is why he's my favourite male character (fav female character is Wanda).
still my favorite MCU movie
It's now one of my favorite MCU movies! It was epic! ❤️🎉
Two things; Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. is an amazing show I think you will love. Tissues are mandatory from here on out. I've said my piece.
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 💕💕
I’ve been enjoying all your reactions! If you’re having these thoughts and emotions to these early movies, I cannot wait until you get to the next few phases. Everything will start making sense and coming together.. especially “on your left” you have a new subscriber!
Tahiti - Its a magical place!
No matter what happens I'm with you to the end of the line
Aaaw! Best line in the movie! ❤️🎉
22:54 "You're getting fingerprints on that glass...YOU'RE EVIL! 😡"
😄
Hey Jax! Another great reaction! Your reactions are really good and you catch a lot more than I would. Funny enough, I went to watch this movie in the theater 3 times but I only watched this movie once because I kept falling asleep at different times in each movie haha! I was working a lot that week or something. Anyways, I'm looking forward to your next reaction!
Steve doesn’t fight to kill. Bucky is trained to only kill. That’s why his fighting style is more lethal. And oh you just wait. 😈. Also the worse thing about your MCU reaction videos is making us wait so long for your next one. I watch a lot of these but yours might be my favorite ones. You are so insightful and really appreciate the artistry that the MCU is. People see “comic book movie” and are immediately turned off. But these are all so rich in content and you really get invested in the characters. The Captain America trilogy is the more serious note of all the main characters. Can’t wait for you to start the SpiderMan, AntMan and Guardians of The Galaxy trilogies.
