that scene in cap 2 when nick fury took that sharp turn and lost the fake cops after him and the gunshots subsided and his gps thing was like ‘getting you to a secure location’ and you really thought, you Really Thought!!!! he was Safe But then it got TOO quiet and fucking ominous music started playing in the background and the previously unfocused camera focused on this dude, decked in ALL Black, in the middle of the fucking street, holding a fucking Bazooka, and He BLOWS up furys suv, sees it coming straight for him, and takes ONE(1) nonchalant step to the Side???: UNPARALLELED 

#CA:TWS does a really good job of establishing characters’ competence BEFORE they tangle with the WS #Fury evades a coordinated death squad before the WS almost casually blows his car to shit #Steve takes out an entire elevator of STRIKE guys bare-handed before he fights the Soldier and barely holds his own #this also makes Pierce a FUCKLOAD scarier for being someone willing to slap the Soldier around #that movie did a really good job establishing characters’ skill/power levels by showing rather than telling #and they converted those insights directly into suspense in a way the MCU has never done again     (via galwednesday)

I’m more of a soldier, than a spy.                    Stay who you are. Not a perfect soldier, but a good man.

Captain America is anti-war and vocal about it and he’s The Bane of the US military’s existence but they can’t fuckin DO anything bc…. he’s the poster boy of America I mean what are they gonna say?? They MADE this irritating asshole

The Generals at Camp Leigh invite him back one time to try and inspire some of the young recruits and Steve turns up in full Captain America regalia, taps the mic twice and says “war is a business scheme and the enemy is Within. Go home” then leaves immediately.

Steve Rogers canonically goes “welp, the government is terrorists, time for direct action!” and it’s the best.

Let me introduce you to the real Captain America.  In every sense of the word.

Smedley Butler

He served in every major American military action between the Spanish American War and World War I (including all those military interventions in Latin America and China and the horrific insurgency against the American occupation of the Philippines).  He was awarded America’s highest military award the Medal of Honor.  Twice.  He retired with the highest rank achievable in the Marine Corps at the time.

During 1934 a group of Wall Street business men approached him to lead a right wing coup against FDR because he was extremely popular with disaffected veterans.  It was a spectacular misjudgement of his character and he went to congress and the press putting the coup plotters on blast.  At the time the press dismissed it but most historians agree that there was a plot though how viable it’s hard to tell.  

In 1935 he wrote a short book that I recommend you read.

A couple of choice quotes: 

The 21st century is a digital book and HYDRA learned how to read it.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) dir. Joe Russo, Anthony Russo

Look.    Vaccinate your kids.

Y’all are so DAMN EDGY.

FYI, it’s their right and choice not to vaccinate their kids just as much as it’s yours to post dumb fucking memes on the internet.

Love, from someone whose entire family wasn’t vaccinated and is still alive and well.

i hope you realise how much of a goddamn idiot you are

You’re alive and well but how many times did you pass germs that could have killed someone who is immunocompromised (a word here meaning, compromised immune system, weak immune system, easily infected and killed by basic diseases)? Just because you don’t have symptoms doesn’t mean you don’t have the germs.

People are dying from measles out here and you’re so fucking selfish go think “hurrdurr I’m okay so everyone else is too!”

When what you choose to do or not do to your body affects other people in a way that could kill them it’s no longer just your choice.

So please for the love of God do some fucking research about this. If you’re allergic certain vaccinations that’s fine, that’s what herd immunity is for. But when a lot of people go unvaccinated then that’s when disease begins to spread.

If someone got bit by a rabid animal would you say, “oh, vaccines are unnecessary, walk it off sweaty! :)”? No you wouldn’t, bc that shit kills.

Even the most basic of diseases can kill in the right conditions.

Starring Captain America's gay BFF, Arnie Roth

Remember the time Steve Rogers had a gay BFF? Canon! In the early 80s, no less. I often get the feeling this is an overlooked part of Captain America’s history, so let’s review. 

— vol. 1 #276

Warnings for: homophobia, stereotypes, a tragically dead gay boyfriend, and (other) character death. Also, the 90s Cap armor makes an appearance. (I’m just saying.) All panels are from Captain America.
