Do you think Jake and/or Tom would like Captain America Winter Soldier?

Jake: On the plus side, there was a lot of really interesting commentary in that movie. All the stuff with the U.S. trying to justify itself by presenting the Soviets as inhuman monsters, while also hiring Nazi intelligence officers to teach them Nazi science, was so cool. And upsetting, but also cool!

On the minus side, they didn't show Falcon flying nearly enough. Also they should've stuck closer to the comics with Bucky's story. Like, I get why the movie makes the Red Room German and has them zap Bucky to change his personality. But the comic book story is so much more on theme! Bucky is this ultra-patriotic American soldier, then he loses his memory in an explosion, and then the Red Room tells him he's a Soviet soldier... and he immediately flips to being ultra-patriotic for the USSR, without his personality or ideals changing at all. It's creepy and nifty and way more interesting than him getting his brains fried with what some stupid Hollywood director thinks electro-shock therapy is.

Tom: So look. I may have missed some things while texting during the boring parts. But. Bucky came back from the dead? Then Zola came back from the dead? Then Nick Fury came back from the dead? Then Crossbones came back from the dead? I know this was a superhero movie, but for fuck's sake. At some point I was expecting the guys Cap shot to start popping back up 10 seconds later like nothing happened.

Also, was it just me or were parts of it, like, super homoerotic?
