Notice in that scene that Agent Carter was also stepping forward instead of running. Was she about to jump on the grenade too?

​@@Michael-cf9cj she wanted someone to jump on her 😂😂

I had no idea she felt that way

I wish Carter and Steve had become a thing.

@@JoshuaXYZ the end game is pretty epic

Since the serum was enhancing every aspect of the body, it would naturally enhance the niceness, creativity and brevity in the said person or the other way around if the person is a bully..

There are very few who believe in that. Majority of them just don't know what to do after HS. I mean in the military.

Some people join the military partly because it's mandatory, partly because it's their only choice to continue living. A lot of times, they don't even know what they are actually fighting for. It's like chess, while the government act as the king, the soldiers are like pawns. Of course thais is just my thoughts.

Thank you for your thoughtful words.

@@samuraijackson241Total agreement here, friend. I spent years trying to figure out Who Am I and What Am I Supposed to Do With My Life? At age 71, I'm hoping I have it right at long last. But, who knows? Tomorrow might bring a better or more suitable answer. Digression: My ex knew from the time she was a little girl that she wanted to do what her mother was doing, which was working in Medical Records. While the ex went through three or four various aspects of being in Medical Records, her entire life from four years in college to the next 50 years have all been in that field in one way or another. I, on the other hand, have a curriculum vitae about an inch thick from all the different career choices I've made. Sad part is, as a young child, I wanted to be career military. But once puberty hit? All bets were off. Did couple of years of ROTC and nearly signed up for Naval Reserve Aviation Corp (NAVROC), and did everything but sign on the dotted line. But, with the world going crazy, who knows - my chance to be in the military might not be gone forever just yet.

That's why he was picked for the super soldier thingy

She likes guys with balls of steel

Agent carter be like: size doesn't matter

And his bravery..

facts brother

They stopped making movies for comic book fans. That's the issue.

@@RowdyBrian17 The movies were never for comic book fans. They were aggressively focus group-tested to ensure they would appeal to the broadest audience possible, with a lot of the comic book norms and tropes cast aside or held up as one-off to joke about or ridicule. Which is a good thing. American comic books have gotten stale (Japanese Manga has this same problem), and the focus on characters, specifically their struggles, shortcomings, and failures, made for better movies. It also helped move the comic book industry forward, as authors realized that audiences and, by extension, readers could enjoy characters and plot with more depth and nuance.

@@Josh-99 It also helps that this movie reminds us why characterization is so important. Namely what drives someone in being a hero. We know Steve is a good guy. We’ve seen plenty of “save the cat” moments with him standing up to bullies, volunteering because he wants to stop evildoers, and brilliantly the Grenade scene, proving Erskine’s point. It’s all so effective and clear in getting the audience to want to root for the guy. You can’t do this with a lot of the “modern” MCU characters because they are written by individuals who believe the audience will already like the characters. Forget the “woke” identity politics stuff, these writers are lazy in believing because they are heroes folks will love them. Not realizing it’s the “virtues” they demonstrate. Cap is justice. Which makes sense.

Yes....but you can bet your ass you don't want to take the ride back even if you pass the test and they still "let you".

The flag scene shows the importance of using your most important muscle - the one between your ears.😉

Indeed! What would have been best was if Rogers got the flag, handed it to the DS and fell back in line ready to continue the run. It would have demonstrated that not only did he have brains but he had the fortitude to continue on.

That describes the army more than most people realize

Especially the US army.

@ottokarl5427 if the serum can make the skinny guy be Captain America, how strong could an actual strong soldier become? Rogers was still the better choice of course, because of his other qualities, but it's not like it's non-sense to give the serum to the stronger soldier.

I think her face said that after the flag scene too

She noticed him when he got stuck but kept on going in the Trench obstacle course. So her face at the flag pole said "You had my curiosity. Now you have my attention."

​@@Billwarson29so I am glad that in endgame, Steve chooses to stay with Carter. Finally a happy ending, for him.

I'd totally go back in time for her.

I don't know if I'd go that far, young Scarlett Johannsen was about as good as it gets. Hayley is amazing though, no doubts.

@@Elthenar Today I'd agree with you. But, in their primes, Hayley was hotter. IMO.

I agree 100%, Agent Carter/Hayley Atwell over all the other women in the MCU. It would be Wonder Woman/Gal Gadot in DCU, but she is married.

Even? Honest women are worth giving our lives for, no matter the relationship. And the Bible declares that-‘A woman of valor, who can find?’

I loved the first season. The writing in the second season wasn't as great. Hayley was great, though. I would have loved to watch a third season if the writing was as good as the first one.

I think you mispronounced AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER as the best thing on TV. It was a good show (at least the first season) but it doesn't hold a candle to ATLA.

@@l.tc.5032 yeah true. ATLA is so very good! The world was never the same after the Fire Nation attacked 😁😁

@@joycechacko8207totally agree with this. The first season was very strong, one of Marvel’s best projects.

@@l.tc.5032 You know the concept of what opinion means, right? I personally didn't waste my time watching ATLA, it's not my type of series. However, I loved watching Agent Carter.

I remember having the biggest crush on her when I first saw this film. That hasn't changed in the 12 years since

Yes, she loved him, his character and selflessness.

​@@chuckjones5379 then REALLY loved those sweaty abs 🤣

@@Wheee135 almost couldnt help herself

Especially if you take it to consideration this was a special force of training area.

In their defense, you normally wouldn't just do what Steve did. What if things break? You will have to take responsibility then. If you are in that scene, I bet that you will never even think about removing that pin.

Or she was going to clear it by kicking it further away from the trainee. That was my initial thought. Even with how everyone reacted, they would have still got injured if Roger's didn't jump on it.

Six one way, half a dozen the other. The point I wanted to show was out of a platoon of volunteers, only two ran towards the danger.

He was always Captain America, he just didn't always have the means to fight. Something I liked in the What If series was that the version of Steve they showed that never got the Serum still wound up fighting. He got a badass exoskeleton from Stark and still dove face first into danger.

Just look at john walker

​@@muhammadluqman9165at least at the end he realized his mistakes. I think

Anything with Captain America in has become a favourite of mine. They did is character so well in the MCU, and casting was perfect. He was not a particular favourite of mine in the comics.

And he still persevered.

Absolutely stunning ... and the accent. She's a 10.

@@Michael-cf9cj keeping it PG it's definitely her accent that sold me ❤️

@@skynetprime82 Whatever the rating, she's got it all.

@@Michael-cf9cj that she does 🥰

I’d hold her queef like a bong hit.

Unless you're a plane or a bomb or some ice or a brainwashed buddy or a spiderman... Then you don't necessarily have too yieeeeld!

Cringe pervert comment

I can feel that, bro.

Yes absolutely, military men are usually sexist and misogynistic. (And are statistically more than likely going to cheat on their partners)

To save lives.

In an open area with everyone already running away? No point. Just to make a good scene for the movie.

Dummy grenade. No explosive or charge in it. It allows soldiers to practice pulling the pin and throwing without blowing themselves up if they drop it. And above - but that most likely doesn’t happen irl.

@@DeathByLego So, IRL there is some identifying mark on it ...

@@craigcooknf most likely, I just don’t know what it is. And it probably wouldn’t be noticeable enough for them to say in this scene “ohh that’s a dummy grenade, I’m not going to panic”

@@craigcooknf IRL dummy grenades are blue, real grenades are od green.

Collectivized identity much?

You’ve got it backwards. Those disasters were caused by inept political hacks in the White House. If they had left the US military alone to do the freak’n job, the outcomes of those conflicts, would’ve been decisively different.

They were NOT defeated by vietnamese. US Army killed much more enemy soldiers than the opposite. US Army left Vietnan because of a political decision, driven by change in the popular support for the war. It is like one be wining a game by large and then one's mother calls him back home.
