#(i never saw a bourne movie but that's the impression it gave me. no offense matt damon.)

i ended up rewatching captain america: the winter soldier as it was my favorite mcu movie back in the day and

i was so disappointed by the time the credits started rolling. i didn't remember the movie being so long and so full of shooting, seriously, so many scenes of so many people shooting at each other!!! was it sponsored by guns manufacturers or something?! also, steve rogers was such a soldier in it, i know the character is one, but i didn't remember him being like that back in the day, but he was just so... self-righteous. overall it was such an american movie, and i know, 'captain america', that's in the name, but it never struck me as much back in the day. neither man of steel nor batman v superman gave me that american feeling, but that's stories with aliens and costumed vigilantes and mediterranean half-goddesses for you.

also, natasha's smirk was really annoying by the end, but i don't think i have it in me to rewatch iron man 2 to check whether it was the same in that movie. it was very funny to see callan mulvey there though, poor guy really made two cbm (almost) back-to-back playing a trigger-happy henchman for the bad guy.

big annoyance that the casting director picked a dude from quebec to play a french villain who used to be in the french secret services. like seriously. it's like picking an australian actor (with the accent) and having him play the role of an american who used to be in the fbi. it breaks immersion so bad.

anyway that was a disappointment.
