Chris Evans as Steve Rogers CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER

[bigtreefest]

My sister was asking about the captain America movies last night and yelled at me bc half of my answers started by differentiating them by how good CE’s hair looked.

She was like “stop that”

And I was like “I literally have few other ways to tell them apart. Idk what you want from me?”

The battle of Azzano deleted scene in it's entirety! Not gifs this time! This is in the deleted scenes of Captain America: The First Avenger.

Bucky, Dum Dum and Gabe aren't technically Howlies here. They are still just members of the 107th. This is the battle of Azzano, during which these three are taken by Hydra and made POWs. Soon Captain America, in his first heroic action (in the MCU), rescues the POWs at Azzano, which include soldiers of all the Allied Forces, and the rest of the soon-to-be Howling Commandos, Jim Morita, Monty Falsworth, and Jacques Dernier, and leads them back to the 107th's base camp.

A short time later, Colonel Chester Phillips, first director of the Strategic Scientific Reserve, tells Steve that they want him to take a team and wipe out the rest of the Hydra bases. At that time, he recruits the Howling Commandos.

Thanks to Bucky Barnes on YouTube.

"I dunno – something a bit boyish about her, Buck," Dugan muses. Bucky gawks, lowering the shaving brush, and he really can’t decide what’s more ridiculous: the disproportionately outraged expression Bucky’s sporting or the lather still covering half of his face, seemingly forgotten and melting down his neck with alarming rapidity. “Boyish? Get outta here.” Oh, Steve thinks with a familiar level of exasperated fondness, here we go.

*leaving this at tumblr's doorstep like it's my beloved first born child I just don't know how to deal with* how the fuck do y'all post these all the time when it's so stressful.

Anyway! First time posting on AO3, so here's a ficlet about the Howlies and Marlene Dietrich because I kept banging my head against a wall trying to figure out the timeline of the much, much larger fic this is supposed to be a part of, lol.

Holy shit dude, Peggy haters on this webbed site have the weirdest fucking takes

I mean honestly, talk about willfully ignoring canon to form your own (wrong) opinions about a character...

cap trilogy rewatch bc I'm sick and it's making me weirdly nostalgic + text posts

That underlying restlessness in Steve in the first part of CATWS was something I picked up on, too! It also reminded me (yet again) of how surprised I was to stumble on the cut scenes from the first Avengers movie that were originally intended to introduce Steve but wound up on the editing room floor for time and flow (giving us the now famous boxing scene as his introduction which I'm also a fan of but I digress) that showed us exactly how out of place Steve truly feels in the modern age.

I mean buddy was literally sitting there re-watching old reels and reading about his war companions being deceased (RIP the Howlies) and wandering the streets looking at all the modern tech (with the clever background tidbit of 'buy some time!' being yelled as Steve walks by), not to mention the fact he's sitting there riding the train backwards through his old stomping grounds - there was just so much good dense character work done there in those few minutes that (IMO) set up that feeling you got in the first part of Winter Soldier emanating from Steve so well.

Of course he's out of sync with things, of course he's playing it off and trying to 'throw himself back in and follow orders'. But I always felt those deleted scenes really hammered in well that for Steve, barely any time has passed since he lost Bucky and Peggy (in a manner of speaking, anyway), in fact I'd argue he's still grieving Bucky's loss, now compacted by about seventy years of advancement he capiscled through.

jdfoeiwjde3 paragraphs of Steve meta later, I say: 1) loved all this analysis, 2) I AGREE SO MUCH ABOUT THE UNIFORM and 3) yes, emotional safety is absolutely the thing. It feeds along from, again, that teaser in the first Avengers about how out of sync Steve is.

Rewatched CATWS on my unexpected day off. I guess I've watched it enough that I am noticing things more in the background XD

I'm noticing more details about CEvans' acting this time around. Steve seems to have this sense of...brittleness, and maybe a little anger, during the first half of the film. The smiles seem just a little forced and his interactions a little distant, until he figures out Hydra was there the whole time and suddenly he's got direction.

The circumstances around Fury's "death" caught my eye. After Fury was shot, Sharon busts in the door and introduces herself as Agent 13 sent to "protect" Steve on Fury's orders. This is...an interesting assertion, given that Steve is shown to be incredibly capable, not just physically but also intellectually, to protect himself, and Sharon isn't shown to give Steve the emotional safety that he was craving in the beginning of the movie, nor was she ever demonstrated to be physically competent enough to protect Steve (unlike, say, Nat). It would seem - and that does seem to be Steve's belief too based on his response - that she was sent to watch him, not to protect him. I still think there’s enough in canon to make Sharon either good or bad right from the start.

Anyway, then this exchange happens:

Sharon (on radio): Foxtrot is down, I need EMTs. Person on other end: Do we have a 20 on the shooter? Steve: Tell him I'm in pursuit.

How did the other person know there was a shooter? Was it someone who was listening in to the bugged apartment, or did Sharon have time to tell them before going into Steve's apartment, or did they know because they were part of the team that sent the sniper?

I feel like I've mentioned this before (I can't remember half the things I write so anyway, here it is again) but I feel like Steve's response here suggests that he's already starting to clue in on who the Soldier might be. When he's chasing the shadow across the roof, his expression was furious, urgent and determined -- but that all changed when the Soldier caught the shield (picture 1) and made meaningful eye contact tossed it back (picture 2). Steve just looks...surprised and uncertain and, shall we say, a little vulnerable?

Also I didn’t notice this before, but the Strike team were there to watch Fury’s operation as well, so no wonder Fury had to go the whole way including fooling Nat and Steve.

Right before the infamous elevator fight starts, Rumlow gets in the elevator and they have this exchange:

Rumlow: Evidence team found some fibres on the roof they want us to see, you want me to get the tac team ready? Steve: No, let's wait and see what it is first.

Obviously during this time Steve is also very distracted by what Fury has told him and what Pierce has tried to entice him with, so it could just be Steve trying to shelve that thought for later -- but he was also very interested in what Nat could tell him about the Winter Soldier (she used that information to stop him being angry at her), so I wonder if it's a little bit of a cover tactic as well, i.e. he didn't trust the Strike team and didn't want them to get close to this mystery assassin's identity.

I remember there was a meta about how well CATWS established competency, and I just love watching that all over again. Not just for Steve and Nat obviously, but even for the Strike team — they are shown to be incredibly capable and in sync during the Lumerian Star sequence, which is why the stakes of the movie felt so real.

Steve donning the last uniform Bucky saw before he fell off the train is an underrated romantic trope 😂

I really, truly think that all of fandom needs to have a yearly re-watch of the source material so that people don't start agreeing with stupid fandom takes as gospel:
