So, the Winter Soldier is another engineered fighter like Cap himself? Someone needs to tell someone that they’re not all gonna be nice guys like Steve.
Looks like the Avengers are gonna be right in the middle of mass destruction in another city. I wonder if people in this universe are starting to move away from anywhere the Avengers are hanging out. It cannot be good for property values to be anywhere in the same metropolitan area as these heroes.
I liked the first Captain America film, looooved the Avengers film, and seeing this trailer is making me clap my hands in anticipatory glee! This coming from someone who didn’t read any comic books at all at any point in her life and whose first Marvel movie experience in the theater was the first Captain America film (my friend who is a lifelong Marvel geek dragged me to go see it and was shocked when I had very little knowledge about who was who–I had seen Iron Man 1 on TV, but that was it).
Really? Here’s a question if you don’t mind: why did you like the first Captain America film? I’m not being facetious – it’s just that I’m a massive geek and therefore always find outside perspectives on my interests… interesting. And fresh.
I’ve always been a big fan of WWII flicks, having grown up on older films on late-night tv before the advent of the VCR. Also, I liked Steve’s innocence and his relationship with his fellow soldiers. The rest of the film was rather forgettable, but that stuff, and the Howard Stark stuff, was great. I had even forgotten that the Tessaract was in it when I saw The Avengers, at least until Steve told Nick Fury that they should have left it in the ocean.
ETA: I’ve since gotten to see most if not all of the post-Iron Man (1) Marvel films as well as The Agents of SHIELD, and I really like the ongoing storyline and the character development that allows. IM2 was probably the worst of those movies that I’ve seen (I did not see either the Edward Norton or the Eric Bana Hulk films, but can’t imagine anyone being better than Mark Ruffalo in the part!), but I really enjoyed IM3 and both of the Thor films.
ETA (again!): Cap really grew on me even more in The Avengers; I like his fish-out-of-water inability to fit into the 21st century. He is so solidly righteous and good, and it’s really refreshing to see him deal with the rest of SHIELD and the other superheroes. I’m excited to see what they’re going to do to him in The Winter Soldier, and can’t wait to see the inner-Good-Steve emerge from what I’m positive is going to be an attempt to co-opt his positive image by SHIELD (completely unspoiled speculation, only from what I’ve seen in the trailers so far!).
*bites tongue because spoilers*
Oh, I figure there’s gotta be more to it than that.
The Winter Soldier is a future Steve who has been mutated by being sent back in time via a black hole, right? :->
Whoa, that would be awesome.
Just like I really wondered why anyone stayed in the town Miss Marple lived in.
I always wondered if Jessica Fletcher was a serial killer who was very good at covering her tracks.
And framing people!
This whole trend in modern action films for having lots and lots of destruction and death in the background is one I’m not fond of. Man of Steel seemed particularly keen on it.
I’m hoping they’ll bring Damage Control (the company that specializes in cleaning up after all these superhero battles) into the Marvel Movieverse somehow.
