Cap going through that stretch where he was used to sell war bonds was important for him. Beyond obviously it being the genesis of the "Captain America" persona, he had to learn to be comfortable talking in front of a crowd. It's actually a really cool touch that helps explain how he grew into the leader he has to become.

The experiment that turned Banner into the Hulk was an attempt to recreate the super soldier serum that created Cap

Steve was an A list celebrity. Everyone in the country knew about Captain America (in-universe).

Red Skull took an imperfect version of the super soldier serum. The red skull is a side effect. The face he peeled off was a mask.

10:12 - Since you mentioned The Hulk, what they gave Emil Blonsky to make him a super soldier (before he became Abomination in the end), is the same serum used to make Steve Rogers into Captain America; at least a version of the serum.

I am just now watching this, and I have to pause the movie to say how much I appreciate the Jay and Silent Bob insert scene. That gave me a big hearty laugh.

Agreed that this movie is SO UNDERRATED I love this one so much. It's def in my top 5 MCU movies

"Oh, he's a little guy. Oh, he's tiny. Is that how little he really is." :) You are really new to Marvel, that's why I like to watch your reactions, authentic ;)

You should check out the Rocketeer. It’s the same director, Joe Johnston, and it’s also set during WWII. It’s probably why he was chosen to direct this film 👍

His name was mentioned briefly by the Nazi officer. "The Red Skull has been endulged long enough"

10:46 "So many people forget that the first country the Na*is invaded was their own." That's true. We have this frustrating tendency (especially in the US) to look back at WWII as a war against Germany, Italy and Japan, when it was in fact a war against fascism and imperialism; a war to _liberate_ Germany, Italy and Japan.

Captain America doesnt need to be strong or tough. The serum would give anyone that. What is important is heart and wisdom. Steve didnt need to serve. He was specifically told not to serve but he kept trying to enlist. When Steve told Erskin he didnt want to kill anyone. He just doesnt like bullies. Erskin knew he found a good man soomeone WORTHY.

Chris Evans also plays Johnny Storm in the Fantastic Four movie, another Marvel hero group.

22:40 - Red Skull (aka Faceless Schmidt) is one of the oldest comic book villains of all time; along with Captain America himself dating back to early 1941; before the US even entered WWII. He is one of the most iconic comic book super villains ever and is to Cap what Loki is to Thor, the Joker is to Batman, or Lex Luthor to Superman. Cap and red Skull are one of the first and most iconic creations of the legendary comic book artists/writers Jack Kirby and Joe Simon. The very first issue of Captain America in fact showed him punching out Adolph Hitler. Anyone who knows anything about Captain America going into this movie knows who Red Skull is on sight. 27:30 - The whole revival from the ice bit was established back in 1964 when they started to do new adventures of Captain America in the comic books, and brought him back in a very early issue of the Avengers comic book. Again something I thought *everyone* already knew. Oh well. At least it adds to the enjoyment if you were taken completely by surprise by a plot turn that is actually much older than you are.

Cap is definitely my favorite Avenger. Loki may have overtaken him as my favorite Marvel character, but as a start-to-finish hero, Cap is my guy. I just love how much he is someone who stands up for what he believes is right, no matter what opposition he faces. That's the kind of hero that I hope that I would be in his shoes.

When Peggy touches Steve's chest when he first comes out the tube... that was improvised. Hayley Atwell had never seen Chris Evans with his shirt off and she couldn't help herself...lol

Schmidt's villain name is Red Skull (name was dropped by one of the Nazi officers he killed). The flying wing airplane at the end was actually based on a real design from WWII Germany, the Horten H.XVIII (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horten_H.XVIII).

12:39 Fun fact: Peggy touching Steve's abs was not written in the script but actress Hayley Atwell said she impulsively went for it just because

Christy, you sort of hit the nail on the head, when you said "celluar change, like the Hulk?". In the MCU universe, the Captain America creation inspired a LOT of attempts to recreate the Super Soldier program in various forms. The Hulk was an attempt to use gamma rays to do this, that backfired. Even Iron Man's suit was a mechanical version of the Super Soldier program. The ending of this movie always gives me the feels.

19:10 Fun fact: Not many caught on this easter egg since it is very unpopular but the man sitting beside Stan Lee is Reb Brown who played Captain America in the 1979 TV movie. Interestingly enough as you are from Colombia that 1979 movie was released theatrically at Colombia in 1981

Red Skull is Schmidts villain name , u will see him again later in the series

To quote General Patton "No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his" country.

Looking forward to watching you experience this franchise. What Marvel did is going to blow your mind.

Now that you know how cool agent Peggy Carter is you should eventually check out the TV show she got. It's two seasons and all the episodes are pretty good to great. Not enough people watch them because they're not technically part of the MCU

If you want to see more Peggy, the TV show Agent Carter tells her story after the war.

2:38 Tony Stark: "Wait a minute. I thought I had that in my _laboratory._ How did it get _there?"_

The most convincing use of CGI since Jurassic Park. My favorite Cristy quote: “That’s cute. I hope they develop some sort of romance…and they kiss.” Movies are meant for hopeless romantics.

Schmidt's supervillain name is "Piece of Schmidt".

Oh, one Easter egg i really appreciated and that is often passed over was the man in the tube. When we're first seeing the Expo, there's what looks like a man in a red suit inside a big glass tube, and above him it says 'Phineas T Horton's Synthetic Man'. That was the original android Human Torch, who was on a WWII superteam wirh Cap, called The Invaders.

9:42 You're supposed to run a short distance and lie flat on the ground with your feet towards the grenade. Lying down minimizes the chance of getting hit by fragments, and doing it feet-first means any fragment that does hit you will have to cut through the soles of your boots before it hurts you-- in the feet.

Strange to think that it took Mel Gibson to encourage Robert Downey Jr to be Tony Stark (changed his life around) but they all wanted Chris Evans to be Captain America/Steve Rodgers (who initially turned it down because it was a comic book hero and seemed like a stagnant role). Both actors were perfect for their roles, no-one else could play them and no-one can replace them.

The expo that steve and bucky was at is the same one from iron man 2

The levitating car would eventually be a staple in Agents of Shield.

Somewhere in the movie one of the Nazis says Schmidt's villain name, the Red Skull

8:51 Mulan: "I _approve."_

love that opening about hearing us lol. Great reaction, love the blue color for lamp. Can't wait for Avengers reaction, keep up the work Cristy!

Tessetact is the base of Stark Industries technology.

24:14 When the Red Skull picks up the tesseract it creates a wormhole and sends him elsewhere in space. A special elsewhere. So I think those who get hit by the beam from the power weapons get sent elsewhere too. Also it looks a lot like where Loki went when he fell from the Rainbow Bridge in Thor.

I love your reactions. I am Latino and I thought I heard some Spanish expressions by way of Cuba when you said, "oui!.que'eso!' which stands for oh my! Whats that! Or Borique😊❤

23:55 "But vy do you vant der targets to be painted on dem in _Eenglish?_ Ve are _Jurman."_ "Do not qveschun my _gen-yus!"_

And Red Skull lost his skin because he injected the formula before it was perfected

I got the disc of this just to see the feature on how they made him look small (effects and a body double … plus effects).

my favorite character from the mcu😊

Hi Cristy, loved the reaction and can’t wait for the avengers reaction. first Captain America movie is really underrated movie and storyline and it does get better imo. Regarding the red skull, yes the serum wasn’t ready but he was eager for power so he used it on himself which led to side effects. I think his skin got burnt by the serum but it gave him other abilities like super strength.

With the other iteration of Howard Stark, they subtly tried to make him look like Walt Disney.

Loving this journey and your reactions, keep up the great work

Captain America is my favorite MCU character and it's going to be fun watching you see his journey and him interacting with the other characters. With mentioning that Peggy in Agent Carter is a really fun TV series. It's more low key than the big MCU TV series but really nails her character.

Excellent lighting, Cristy. Great reaction!!!

Now you can go and see the Agent Carter series ,its good ,and you see good characters ...

There is an actual post-credit scene which is not an Avengers commercial.

HAAAA Oh Ya Loved 💕 " Get in loser. We're going shopping" 😂 Peace 🕊️☮️

An interesting MCU tidbit- Howard Stark is played by 3 different actors in the MCU movies and shows. Young Howard (WW2 era) is played by Dominic Cooper in this movie and the Agent Carter TV series. But for Howard's appearances as an older man in later decades, Marvel Studios went with Gerald Sanders and John Slattery.

Wait, wait... What was the middle part? Oh, uh Steve Rogers starts out like this small dude and... Then, he's like this super soldier?! Yeah, take that with you!🎉

Before I forget, Tonsberg, Norway, is also where Odin fought the Frost Giants in Thor. We'll see this town again. 😏

He doesn't like Bullies. Btw, they used CGI to put his face on another guys body.

Nice Jay and Bob reference. Your references are out of control. Everyone knows that.

I just started watching your channel and have been looking forward to this. Caps movies are the best in my opinion that aren't an Avengers movie.

Hey Cristy! Cap and Red Skull had many epic battles in the comics, none more so when the Skull found the Tessaract (called the Cosmic Cube in the comics) and was about to will Cap out of existence when....Hey, I can do dramatic cliff hangers, too!! Yes, the Cap-Agent Carter romance is worth keeping in the back of your mind! 😉 Love the blue lighting!!

I love your laugh and yes, he would have saved everyone because grenades explode upward in a cone.

vi decenas de veces las 3 películas del Capitán América , es mi héroe favorito de Marvel

The Red Skull.

They actually made Chris Evans shorter and skinnier by digitally putting his head on another actor's body.

Cristy you're the first reactor I've seen that noticed Steve running barefoot thru the streets of NYC

... And that's why Tony started out being so antagonistic to Steve. As we've seen already, Tony has daddy issues; "My father never even told me he liked me," yet (as we'll find out) Howard did nothing but sing Steve's praises to his son.

Captain America: "I'm the first Avenger." Thor: "Am I a _joke_ to you?"

No. U have about 7 seconds to run away from a grenade. U don't jump on it. U will b blown up and ur body bones turns into shrapnel. Run jump and covet.

Faceless Schmidt = Red Skull

The shit you say makes me LAUGH OUT LOUD!!! Don't worry, you will still be attractive to us in 70 years. Here's to 10 million subscribers! 🎉🥂

15:13 - "What a waste of strength" - This promotions scene is referencing Captain America's original comicbook premise. He was created by Marvel during World War II as an anti-Nazi and Pro-American propaganda icon to boost morale and military recruitment. Of course you have to react to the hilarious Captain America - How It Should Have Ended - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNt9gpyEvdrTYIU.html

If you’re into “secret passages” and such, if you’re ever in Milwaukee, Wisconsin there’s a bar/restaurant called “The Safe House. Really a cool place!

So many great movies in this catalog, but Cap III is the BEST one of them all!!!!!!!

They used CGI to make Chris Evans smaller

(Jan 2024) 4:11 5:26 12:26 14:51

NICE JOB AGAIN! Originally Chris was already a Marvel character namely TORCH on the FANTASTIC 4 so when this came out I was bummed about no more TORCH and held a grudge on Cap but this movie is undeniable. GREAT WATCH!! On to the next. Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

watch the end credits.. sometimes more than 1 . they are there for a reason..

Hello 👋. Mr Anderson😄. Tony’s dad is awesome. Played by a different actor than the one from Iron Man 2. Marvel you sneaky, put a trailer for your next movie in the current movie😮.

pretty good.

Villain name - Red Skull

07:58 Could a man slap you for the same reason?

Oh.Columbiana! Ola Hermana! I just read your bio. I am from corpus Christi Tejas (Texas) enjoying your reactions!

Whoever told you that the last after credit scene is just a trailer for The Avengers movie, lied to you.

Hi Cristy! ... where are you from? your spanish is so good, you looks like argentinian girl ... I love your reactions ... saludos desde Chile

andale 😍

Who did you hear that from/ Always watch the end credit, you are missing important things...

The part where Peggy Carter touched Steve's chest was unscripted, the actress just wanted too lol

Hi Cristy - just caught up on your MCU reactions and I look forward to taking the rest of the journey with you. Two suggestions - first, you will need more than approx. 30 minutes for most of these films, Either kick it up to 45-50 minutes so you're sharing more of the good stuff with us, or do each film in two parts. Second - the volume on the movie audio is a bit low. Turn it up a bit more. Best of luck with your channel, and on to The Avengers!

Short guys are more decorated facts

I can always tell if I like a movie or a show if I’m nonstop running my fingers thru my hair the whole time, that’s how I know I’m locked in, rubbing your forehead could be the same type of thibg

Schmidt = Red Skull

you are gorgeous!

Don’t be so hard on yourself. You are far from stupid movie. You are one of the most intelligent and genuine all the chaos reactors that I’ve seen.

So the whole storyline of Captain America being frozen and found decades later is straight out of the original Marvel Comics. The character Captain America was created in 1941 for World War 2 that was engulfing the world. Interestingly enough the character and comic book debuted before America even got formally involved in WW2. The cover of the very first Captain America comic book that introduced the character to the world immediately became an iconic image and one of the most classic comic book covers of all time. An image of Captain America knocking out Adolf Hitler. The image was paid homage to in this movie. Anyway, when WW2 ended, the character didn’t seem to have a place or roll anymore and fell by the wayside. Decades later Stan Lee wanted to bring the character back and integrate him into the Marvel universe. The idea that Captain America had been frozen since the 40s and just found was thought up and thus utilized to explain the disappearance and reemergence of the classic character.

It's a good movie, but I do't think it's better than Ironman, I think you like to see big guys (Chris) in chest ;)

08:04 That's an abuse of her authority.

I don't understand going into The Avengers blind, but it was your decision. The rest of us that saw this in the theater saw the preview at the end.

I hope you are okay, because you really rubbed your forehead a lot in this movie. BTW the villain in this movie is called “The Red Skull” he was Dr. Askin’s first experiment, but he didn’t go through the the whole process like Steve Rodgers did. Thanks again, I really like your videos 😃😃

was never Underrated

There should be a... HULK sized hint, about "Captain America: The First Avenger" vs "The Avengers" as far as watch order. If their release order wasn't enough. Captain America 2011, The Avengers 2012... The villain, "Red Skull" [I know, such a creative name] received the same or similar serum as did Captain America. But remember the serum amplifies what is in the person. On one side we have the weak, but willing to fight if needed or die to save others, vs. the soldier who wishes only victory. Which one made the better man? 24:10-24:16 at least you grasped why there was effectively a zero G environment. I've seen people gripe about things not making sense in that scene all because they overlooked the plane is in a deep dive. Honestly anyone who has been in a plane that does a ":moderate descent: should understand. In a deep dive, you can actually be pushed toward the ceiling, in opposition to gravity, because the plane is descending faster than gravity's pull/ The movie did begin with finding at least his shield buried in ice...

Great reaction! Please consider to watch also the other Marvel movies like X-men saga and the two Spiderman sagas. :)

This is not the ending to the love story, The love story goes on till 2019
