I thought I heard it at the opening to the movie when Falcon was running around DC. At least, I thought it was.
Same here.Speaking of Civil War, the whole escape scene from Shield HQ reminded me of this Civil War scene.
Why did it take so long for this to appear.
My opinion might change in the next few days, but this is probably my favorite MCU film. So good.
Everything worked. They fit in a tons of characters and action and yet they never ran into pacing problems. The length felt just right too.
I love the way that they incorporated Arnim Zola. Such a great surprise. I guess I had heard that Toby Jones was going to be in this in some way but I had no idea what they were going to do with him. I love those 70s era computers.
I really want to see this again. My only complaints are related to aspects that they didn't flesh out fully, but I guess we can look forward that content in the sequel.
A+

Lol at the hail Hydra meme, so good :-D
Yeah, pretty sure I was the only one giggling in the theater. Though for the record, Lego Marvel Super Heroes already made this joke first.
I don't think I've ever gone from liking a meme to hating it in literally the span of a single page on a single internet forum. Holy shit.
Kudos to Replicant on the OT/Spoiler thread titles. Pretty cool.
Could you explain this?

I'm in the theatre to watch this one right now. Half day at work, so treating myself. Feels good man.
Except the price tag. Imax (not lie-max) and 3D = 18.50 per ticket

To be fair, I think it was played pretty well. If you're familiar with Marvel comics at all then you know Fury is pretty much the most likely guy in the world to fake his death.
But for the uninitiated, they did a pretty good job of making it appear that the stakes were extremely high because Fury has so far been a mystery to the viewers. You may think he'll make it out of the chase scene but I don't think anyone saw the sniper shots in Steve's apartment coming. And with Marvel bringing in a big name actor like Redford in to play a similar role (SHIELD top dog), people may have assumed that he would be replacing Fury. The average viewer has no idea that Jackson is signed on for more movies.
Yeah, knowing in retrospect that Fury could fake his death like that makes it seem a little cheap but I was still on the edge of my seat the whole damn movie and I basically knew what was coming. And it's not like there wasn't any gravity to the situation - SHIELD has been a mainstay since the first Iron Man movie and it's gone now.

Noooooooooooooooooooo. If anything, i was (and have been) annoyed by her lack of an accent.

Do you typically read her with an accent in the books? Curious if anyone does because I never have. Always assumed she covers it up pretty well.
Speaking of those "70s" computers, it kinda bugged me that they were all widescreen. I guess SHIELD really gets bleeding edge tech.
...hail hydra...
Just need another Marvel One Shot. Justin Hammer, The 2 Sterns (Senator and The Leader), and throw in a heavily injured (In Traction) Agent Jasper Sitwell, all in prison. Call it "Oh Hydra, where art thou?" or "Hydra-Air"

Yeah I'm not sure why people expect a world class Russian spy to have an accent when it's all about blending in and pretending to be someone else.
Iron Man 3 is about 6 months after The Avengers, Thor 2 another six months after that (1 year after Avengers) and then Cap 2 is a year later (2 years after Avengers)
Age of Ultron will pick up 3 years after Avengers.
Widow has never had an accent in the comic books since being trained in the Red Room (not sure if the RR exists yet in the MCU though, hopefully it does).
Whew, was so looking forward to Hugo Weaving at the very end of the credits
All of this Hail Hydra... Oh gaf
Weaving is not going to come back, he said he's done. Marvel has the perfect chance to recast Red Skull using a new body thanks to the Cube. I'm curious if he will wear a Skull mask in a sequel if/when they bring him back hehe. I honestly think it might be cooler and easier for the actor instead of wearing makeup and prosthetics. He had a mask when he was in Lukin's body during Ed Brubaker's Winter Soldier comic storyline so it could happen.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.

When they revealed the Winter Soldier's identity (almost) everyone in the theater gasped, and then a guy said "read the comic books people!" I can't decide if he was being a douche or not. Part of me says yes but I have a conflicting opinion that he was in the right.
I kind of hope the "hail hydra" thing does catch on. It's kind of hilarious now especially after seeing the one guy who was in the ironman 2 court scene, do it here.
So regarding the after credits scene, I thought of it some more, we know QS and SW will be in Avengers 2, but will Baron be in it as well or just considered a "driving force" of the Ultron story line? I"m interested because in A1 you could piece together who was going to be the enemy and what could be the overall goal from the end scene credits. Yet Cap 2 credits made me feel QS and SW will be in A2 and Baron will be in Cap 3

At this point, HYDRA may as well be the main driving force of what is going down on Earth while Thanos will be the driving force of what is going down in the Cosmos. From here on out, any conflict maybe be perpetrated by either forces.
Also, yes, QS and SW will be in A2 going by the recent videos of both characters being filmed with Hawkeye.

Pretty good movie, although the twists can been seen a mile away. Who could the Winter Soldier possibly be? And guess who the evil guys at Shield are! You will not be surprised.
I am sorry, but how can the identity of the Winter Soldier be a surprise to anyone who pays attention during the movie?

I'm pretty sure they knew that both these "twists" would be glaringly obvious, and I think that's what makes the other ones so surprising.
Zola was awesome, and I audibly gasped when Natasha was disguised as the WSC member.

Sounds like nerd type douchery. Seriously.
I loved that but I really wanted it to be the older lady council member to actually be kicking ass. People in our theatre were like "yeah!" and then "oh"
Natasha still rocked it though
No, he really isn't. He's being a douche.
