And that's how you go, Skull. Not stabbing into the heart of your great and powerful enemy. But a sick, tired, pitiful old man. Breathing your last on the floor in the arms of the only man who can be driven to give a single shit about you.

A Marvel Newcomer's Thoughts on Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

>SPOILERS AHEAD<

After the... well, harsh... review I gave last night, it's time to watch Captain America. And dear God, that means it's also review time.

For starters, the Tesseract was brought in again. I had TOTALLY forgotten about due to the melatonin-inducing film that was Thor. This German not-see was... interesting. I recognized him as Hydra, as the Hell's Heaven map is, y'know, Hydra-themed.

To continue, this movie exceeded my wildest expectations. Amazing CGI, entertaining plotlines, explosions, snark out the wazoo, Bucky Barnes, stellar makeup effects, and Rockette-esque dancers selling bonds. What in the Kentucky fried fuck happened between Thor and now?? Thor was so mid, but this was so good!!

Plenty of snark, by Bucky, Cap, and the Colonel; plus, a hero that I could actually root for! Cap is clever, witty, and determined as hell. He has so many funny bits, including where he got beat up, asked about the bathroom, and asking Agent Carter about fondue-ing Howard Stark. Cap is also a badass for saving 400 men from a not-see prison just to save Bucky. Like holy shit, dude, you're a legend for that. Yeah, Bucky falls off a train later, but you did what you set out to do AND proved yourself in the process.

Johann Schmidt made for an INSANE villain. Very good performance and a very fitting demise to the Tesseract. Extra amazing SFX on him, especially when Cap hit him in the eye.

Dr. Zola was an oddly familiar presence on screen, thus causing me to turn to IMDb yet again. Toby Jones, better known to me as the voice of Dobby in the Harry Potter world (I am very autistic about Harry Potter). Speaking of Harry Potter, when Schmidt takes off his human mask, he looks like a cherry lollipop version of Voldemort. I told my boyfriend this and he started laughing so hard he had to mute.

Cap's design may be campy at first, but it was very adorable. The (maybe?) Rockettes were not expected, but very fun to watch. Cap knowing how to draw was something I didn't know I needed to know until I saw it.

Agent Carter is the fucking GOAT. Slapping that disrespectful asshole, snarking with Cap, and their kiss towards the end was a ticking time bomb I couldn't wait to see explode. She is so clever and charming and DAMN I saw the sparks fly immediately.

Slight side-tangent; the Colonel yelling that he wasn't also kissing Cap was fucking HILARIOUS. The Colonel was kind of an ass at times, but very wittily so. I enjoyed watching him and his snark.

I have two notes on my paper that both read "NO BUCKY :(" and dear God, this film was a rollercoaster of emotions. I was so excited that Bucky was showing up this early! And then heartbroken when he was captured by the not-sees. Then overjoyed (and amused) when Cap rescued him. Bucky and Cap have the most amazing chemistry and- oh wait, now he's dead for real this time(?). I am going to piss my pants in sorrow.

I had no idea Howard Stark would be making appearances in this. The vibranium shield, so iconic. Stark finding the Tesseract was unexpected, but it ties into Dr. I-Grew-Up-On-Norse-Mythology's appearance at the end of Thor.

My rating: 9.5/10. The ending was heartbreakingly beautiful. Cap coming back into 2011 was so sad, yet so sweet. The "recovery room" on the other hand was so fucking surreal to me. I wish we had seen more Cap and Bucky, but perhaps another time. I wish they could bring Agent Carter forward in time as well so she can be with Cap. They were AMAZING together. There were so many adorable callbacks, from "You're late" to "I had him on the ropes," which tied in well when Cap appears in the post-credits scene doing some boxing.

Alright, one last part that I almost forgot...

In the post-credits scene, I spotted Loki (who is apparently alive after jumping off the Bifrost), Hawkeye, Widow, Nick Fury, Thor, Iron Man, Cap, Mark Ruffalo as the new Bruce Banner, and....... Robin Scherbatsky from How I Met Your Mother???? I have no idea who the fuck Cobie Smulders is going to be, but I'm hyped as hell for The Avengers and whatever crazy villain they're gonna face next. Captain America very much recaptured my interest after the last two films were rated by yours truly as mediocre. What a fucking film. If I didn't have such dry eyes from allergies, I would've cried at least once. RIP Dr. Erskine & Bucky and please for the love of all things holy find a way to bring Agent Carter back.

GN!FURY KID!READER x STEVE ROGERS X NATASHA ROMANOFF X JOHANN SCHMIDT, AKA THE RED SKULL(all platonic)

Location: Avengers Tower, Interrogation Room

Steve Rogers, your Uncle Steve, was pacing back and forth in front of you, his serious face making you feel like you were about to hear some very important grown-up stuff. Across the room sat Johann Schmidt, the notorious Red Skull, tied up and glaring. You, though, weren’t really paying attention to his angry glares—you were too busy fiddling with the tiny Captain America shield keychain Steve had given you earlier.

“Alright, kiddo,” Steve began, leaning down to your level and putting a hand on your shoulder. “Today, we’re going to talk about Hydra.”

You blinked up at him, eyes wide with curiosity. “What’s a Hydra?”

Steve rubbed the back of his neck. “Hydra’s a bad group. Really bad. They tried to take over the world, hurt a lot of people… and they even—well, look, this guy—” he pointed dramatically at Schmidt, “—he’s one of their leaders. He did terrible things.”

You turned your head toward Johann Schmidt, who was mumbling under his breath, clearly irritated. His red face looked more annoyed than scary to you.

Steve cleared his throat, trying to stay focused. “They experimented on people, tried to control everything, and—”

“Did they steal candy?” you asked, suddenly concerned. Candy theft was about as bad as it got in your world.

Steve blinked. “Uh… no. Worse than that. They—”

“Are they allergic to hugs?” you asked innocently, still eyeing Johann, who was grumbling louder now.

Steve paused, taken aback. “No, I don’t think so… but—”

Before Steve could finish, Eva appeared, bouncing into the room with her long blonde curls and mischievous smile. She grinned when she saw you, then turned to Johann Schmidt, who was now full-on glaring at all the innocent happening around him.

“Hey, Cap!” Eva greeted Steve with a mock salute, then turned to Johann. “Who’s the grumpy guy?”

Steve sighed. “This is Johann Schmidt. Red Skull. Hydra leader—”

Eva ignored the intimidating introduction and walked right up to Johann with a twinkle in her eye. “Do you need a hug?” she asked brightly.

Johann’s eyes widened in horror. “Nein!” he grumbled, his German accent heavy with frustration. “Ich will keinen—” But before he could finish, you were already beside Eva, both of you grinning at him like he was the best thing since chocolate cake.

“Hugs make everything better,” you chirped, while Eva nodded in agreement.

Without waiting for permission, you and Eva lunged forward and hugged Johann tightly. He flinched but couldn’t escape, tied down as he was. His frustration only grew as he mumbled angrily under his breath, but to you and Eva, he was just like a big, grumpy teddy bear.

Steve, meanwhile, was trying—and failing—to keep a straight face as he watched the two of you hugging one of the most dangerous villains in history.

“I… I’m not sure this is what I had in mind for your Hydra lesson,” Steve muttered, scratching his head.

Johann, looking completely defeated, stopped struggling. “This is torture!” he groaned dramatically, but you just giggled.

“Uncle Steve,” you called over your shoulder, “I think he just needs more hugs.”

Steve sighed but smiled. “You know, maybe Hydra would’ve been less evil if they’d had you two around…”

Og:Bye!! Have a great day/afternoon/night!! ^^

Eva winked at Steve. “Told you, Cap. Hugs fix everything.”

And so, while Johann Schmidt muttered angrily in German, tied to a chair, and Steve Rogers tried to figure out how to explain anything about Hydra with you and Eva around, the room filled with innocent giggles, making even the most serious lesson in history utterly adorable.

Og:bye! Have a great day/afternoon/night!! ^^
