Captain America #6 (2024)

#how fucked up#is this part#Like EVEN STEVE ROGERS thinks this is a Bad Idea#he does not want to do this thing#He’s liTERaLLY doing it with a gun to his head#he even tries to make himself slow down by falling with his arms and legs out#And his shield flat side up#Like yeah Steve I bet that five second of air resistance definitely helped slow down from terminal velocity#A for effort honey#And then he makes himself as small as possible to get through the atrium roof#also GOOD AIM BB because hitting a steel girder going 50-70 meters per second -aka A HUNDRED ODD MILES PER HOUR- would sting a bit#And then he slams down into a fucking marble floor#no fucking wonder Sitwell is in shock#EVEN STEVE IS LIKE#WOW THAT WORKED#MR JUMP OUT OF A FU KING JET WITH NO CHUTE#THOUGHT THIS WAS A BAD IDEA#fucking steve rogers#*muffled screams of horror from bucky barnes in the distance*#I would shoot a rocket at you too after that shit#steve rogers is also a problem

The impact hurt him really bad

‘Fuck around and find out’ is a thing Steve Rogers says to himself in moments of deadly peril, but he doesnt mean it as a threat. It’s a lil’ pep talk, and he gets some of his best ideas from that.

I just love the fact that when Steve went to the hydra camp he had literally no idea what he was doing. He had absolutely no experience fighting in his new body whatsoever. He had no fighting experience at all. He wasn’t even really in the army. Literally the only army exposure he had at that point was that short time BEFORE he even got the serum. This is just Steve Rogers being like I have no idea what the fuck I’m doing so I’m just gonna wing it

He literally saves all those men by sheer force of will and an unconditional love for Bucky Barnes

he had a plastic helmet and a dream

goat fight. non-negotiable.

#LISTEn listen most marvel fights feel so contrived and fake and like la-dee-da-superhero#but this one was REAL and had me on the edge of my seat and still does#partially bc of the street clothes not costumes#partially because steve is fighting 1 on 1 and gets stripped of his shield quick#and he has to show like his physical combat skills#and the ACTING on both their parts.. fucking ace#esp chris evans tho like his face looks PANICKED how often do u see captain fucking america panicked??#anyway in this essay i will (tags via @asterlark)

Thank the Russo brothers for a) shooting outside in a real setting with practical effects not CGI, for going with a shaky cam that actually added to the sense of immediacy and wasn’t annoying as fuck.

Let me tell u what makes this scene so great. It’s the fact that Steve has a match, an equal. He mows down the goons on the Lemurian Star, escapes SHIELD HQ by fighting 15 people in closed quaters, jumps off a buliding and blows up a plane, then within hours he meets up with Natasha and survives a missle strike. He has no match, no equal in this world. That’s what happens when Batroc challenges him - this scene shows us that men think they can go toe to toe with Steve but they simply can’t. And then this scene is a rare beast. It’s an action scene that is actually a character building scene. We saw the WS blow up Fury’s car and shoot him, but that could have been any common soldier. Sam could have deployed the mine. Natasha could have taken the shot a Fury. None of them could survive in no holding back fight with Steve. Within seconds, Bucky has Steve off of him (usually if Steve is close enough to hit you, it’s game over for you), then disarms him and uses his weapon against him. Bucky dictates the speed and the path of the fight, and while Steve tries to attack, most of the time he is dodging. This tells us the audience, several things: a. Steve is in actual danger, b. Steve, judging by his face, is scared (remember what beatings he has taken up unitl now) and therefore c. for the first time in 3 movies, Steven Grant Rogers, Captain America, is not safe. The stakes are real. You are feeling the adrenaline Steve is feeling, even if you are not sure why. That’s what makes this scene a masterpiece.

This whole fight scene was just top tier in hand-to-hand combat. I am grateful for how this fight came out in this movie and I am impressed that it still resonates with me on how this plays out.

Every punch, deflect, shot, hit, all of it was purposeful and immediate. You can’t pull this out of your ass and I love every second of it.

Somehow i find myself watching Captain America: The Winter Soldier for the first time in YEARS.

I forgot how good Chris looks in that Stealth Suit.

I know people hate Marvel, but truth be told–

–I want this image painted on a canvas, framed, and hung on my wall.

To me, this image is everything that means being a hero.

It’s standing up to impossible odds knowing you’re likely to lose, but still fighting anyway because it’s the right thing to do.

The reason I love this picture is the same reason I hate it. It’s such a wonderful shot… so why the hell is it so damn dark?!! I can’t see a thing.

That’s Steve standing alone in front of an entire army with a huge injury on his arm and a broken shield, minutes after losing yet another big friend of his and not even knowing if his whole team is dead at that point, but there he is, standing up all alone like the perfect hero he is, so why…. why the terrible lightning?!

I can tell it’s Steve because we know it’s him, but if we didn’t? How can you tell? Better lightning, that’s all I ask. I’d give this shot a freaking award if it looked better. Feige or the Russos or whoever was in charge of this… you had one job.

HAPPY 103RD BIRTHDAY STEVEN GRANT ROGERS (4th July 1918)

peter parker’s principal is jim moritas grandson which means he probably grew up hearing stories about how captain america chugged three bottles of absinthe trying to get tipsy, flipped a tank with his left ankle, and taught dernier every english swear all in one day……..then had to go & put these videos into his schools curriculum

Not a perfect soldier, but a good man.
