Robert Redford's character would make a great ally for Superman in the next MoS film.
Spoiler:"What if I told you I can save 7 billion lives at the expense of only 20 million?"
Cavill Superman: "I can live with that."
Spoiler:The origin for the Winter Soldier is VERY similar to the comics, but with notable differences:
-Bucky is recovered by the Russians, not Zola or the Germans. Also, Bucky was thought to have "died" in the same plane explosion that Captain America was on. They had both successfully got on the drone plane to try and diffuse Zemo's bomb (in the comics, Cap is fighting Baron Zemo during WW2). Main difference was that Bucky was thought to have been dead for years and Cap is famously frozen in a block of ice. Turns out the freezing waters also preserved Bucky and he is recovered (with a missing arm) by a Russian sub. In the movies, he "dies" during the train mission and earlier than he does in the comics.
-The Soviet experiment on him, attach a metal arm and "program" him to be a Soviet assassin. He is constantly brought in and out of cryogenic status for missions by the Soviets, hence how he keeps his youth and only ages a few years when Cap meets him in modern times. This is hinted in the movie when they say he's been around like a "ghost" and has committed assassinations for the past 50 years or so. Also, the dossier photo that Cap sees at the end shows Bucky in a what appears to be a frozen state. In the comics, he even has a romantic relationship with the Black Widow (who later on hangs out with him a lot after he recovers his memories) and we see hints in the movie that Widow knows more about the Winter Soldier when she was a KGB agent.
-Winter Soldier becomes a "tool" of former Soviet General Aleksander Lukin (who is later possessed by the Red Skull) similar to the Soldier being a "tool" of Alexander Pierce in the movie.
-Cap uses the Cosmic cube (Tesseract in the movies) to help Bucky recover his memories.
-He basically looks the same in the comics, biggest difference is that instead of eye-goggles and mouthpiece mask, he just wears the standard mask around the eyes. This is probably why we saw Stan's Winter Soldier with the black make-up on in some filming shots as the look was intended to replicate the "eye-mask" from the comics. Obviously, it didn't make the final cut or the make-up was digitally edited out of most of the scenes.
So overall, the character translated VERY well from the comics and his origin is largely in-tact with mostly differences in the characters involved.
Poor poor WB/DC.
We are still TWO years and a month away before WB/DC next attempt at delivering this kind of quality on display with Cap 2.
We will be discussing Avengers 2 here a full year before Batman vs Batman.
Hell, we are getting a superhero racoon before their next movie.
Poor poor WB/DC.
This movie was such a diss to Hawkeye. "Who in all of SHIELD can we trust? Sam Wilson. That's it." Ouch. Screw Budapest you pin shooting Legolas wannabe.
So Hydra thinks they are going to get their NEW WORLD ORDER huh
One of the most off the wall name drops fo the movie was the kill list; anyone else think it was weird that they had Tony Stark, Stephen Strange, and Bruce Banner on a kill list? Like how they squeezed that name in there, was kind of surprised he would be on anyones radar considering with hsi powers I figure he could stay hidden as well as he needs to from anyone, even spy agencies.
You talking about Strange? I don’t think he has his powers yet, Fiege kind of hinted it in a recent interview.
Spoiler:I can't get that image of Steve surrendering and WS punching him over and over in the face with his metal fist.
Steve is the *greatest* cinematic superhero bar none.
Knows when to kick *** and when to concede.
I am losing my mind, but
Spoiler:QS looked like he was transforming into the Hulk in his cell
Spoiler:Strucker twins at first, not like that would have made any more sense for the transformation
Yeah that was an awesome scene.
"Window integrity at 1%."
"NOW!"
blamblamblamblamblamblam
ScarJo was off the charts in this movie. That straight red hair, skinny waist, and War Games references? Too much!
You aren't shittin'. Throughout most of her scenes, my mind was the equivalent of this gif on a loop:
