The red gaurdian is a super solider and can do crazy strength things. They never establish that taskmaster is also that capable. We are never shown taskmaster doing a super strength thing. But can tank his punches and even knock him around. If you say the kicking widow off the bridge, but that can be done by normal people. The moment he’s talking about would be so much better if there was distinct indication that task is copying someone’s style.

@@lordcavalier9688 well earlier in the movie we do see that taskmaster is super strong. maybe not "serum super strong", but he is definitely strong. I think that was pretty well established

The movie’s biggest disappointment was not seeing the red guardian actually fight competently

@@ianloree2784 I wonder why...

They're honestly not that bad.

@@an8strengthkobold360 I never said they are bad. Accents are by Nature Bad because unless you are a Verbal Genius, your accent will be bad compared to one who is native. I was just pointing out how funny they are

@@omegadeadpool2947 sorry, I wasn't trying to say you were.

I'm sure New Cap and Red Guardian will "fight" in a future project down the line

No, no... Sam AND Bucky vs Alexi. Three way argument. It'll be great. 😂

"You're darker than I remembered" "You're fatter than I've heard" "Steve talks about me?!"

@@_Pikalika_ “Steve talks about me?” That got me 😂

@@_Pikalika_ you just won the internet today

@@_Pikalika_ marvel ain’t putting that in 😂

@@_Pikalika_ Careful not to anger the Twitter mob...

Same, just give the man some love he needs it

Just one nitpick - not unlike Nando's podcast - I would change that line to: "If you can fight all Avengers for that long, you could fight Captain America *all day*."

But it's Marvel in 2021. Men don't get wins.

@@FoodLaneAdventures get a load of this guy

@@FoodLaneAdventures wha? Did you not watch the last 3 shows?

Full stop, I need to see the Winter Guard in SOMETHING. I saw a panel of them in one of the recent Avengers comics and instantly needed more information.

A limited series show would be dope

To quote no more heroes. “Glory to the Soviet Union.”

Having him try and fight the taskmaster was a mistake the plot couldn’t allow for him to dominate that fight let alone win it

They made him a lovable loser. There's no Pikachu face here.

I dunno, they made him almost more of a character than Natasha, and he got a real action figure, pretty sure they want us to like him

I honestly do not know what they were going for with him, like I watched this movie with a group of friends and throughout the whole thing we all agreed that were only really invested in yelana and alexi and yet the film does everything in it's power to make us think he's worthless; never giving him a sincere moment

Yeah:D That is what I told my mate too after we saw the Black Widow movie. Absolutly love that idea and the heart of gold message you expanded upon makes alot of sense

Who’s Isaiah Bradley? Is that someone from one of the shows or did I miss something in one of the MCU movies?

@@historiansayori2089 he's from Falcon and the Winter Soldier series

@@historiansayori2089 oh my sweet summer child Isaiah Bradley originated in the limited run "Red White and Black". These comics imagine a different history for the Super Soldier Serum - that it was tested on all black subjects. Historically, the USA actually did this on unwitting African Americans (most famously in the Tuskeegee experiments). Bradley is one of these test subjects. A version of this tale was incorporated into the MCU as part of the 'Falcon and the Winter Soldier' series. I won't give you the deets of either the comic or the series incase you wanna go in spoiler free, but the info is online if you just wanna read about it

@@nerovanguard846 Thank you! I haven’t watched that series so that’s why then 😅

I love it but let's admit he wouldn't wonder why he ran away he'd just laugh and say "cap" was scared of him lol

Isaiah Bradley was imprisoned in the 1950s after the Korean War, and would have wanted nothing to do with the Captain America persona when he got out of prison. It doesn’t make sense for it to have been him.

@@FroyoMNS Imagine if The US army forced Isaiah to go on Suicide Missions for them! Just think about that Brutality and how much it adds to Isaiah's story and how much it gives depth and density to the Black Oppression theme from Falcon & Winter Soldier. Just a Theory but who knows. Maybe?

@@omegadeadpool2947 well I think he got imprisoned in 1953, for 30 years. This means he got out in 1983, which means it's technically possible. But we shouldn't forget he wasn't let out, he basically "escaped" and lived off the grid. It doesn't make sense for him to wear cap's suit and fight anyone

@@FroyoMNS That detail I wasn't familiar with so that other character sounds more likely then.

The dates still don't match. Isaiah was in action around the time of the korean war(50s or so) and was arrested sometime after and Red Guardian said he fought Cap in the 80s. So it was either someones else who has been Captain America in the cold war (like William Burnside mentioned in the video)or it was Steve in his time travels. Me personally prefer the Steve one. Like he was having his life with Peggy but he still got into action from time to time. Maybe he would lose the fight cause he was getting old or something. I mean after that story that's my head canon until Marvel come out and explain it

He clearly thought the guy was Steve, so it probably wasn't Isaiah.

I assumed this was the case (I couldn't make out the year Alexei claimed when I saw the film), that he was the Russian agent that Isaiah Bradley fought. Since we don't actually know how old Alexei is, or whether his super soldier serum would have slowed aging (contextually possible since Marienne seemed to have not aged at all since the 90s). And since he's been in prison since the 90s, he doesn't actually know what Steve Rogers looks like. So maybe Alexei lied, as far as the year it happened and apparently omitted that the Cap he fought wasn't a white man. Or he didn't include that fact because Alexei assumed that wasn't necessary info.

oh that would be an interesting shouting match argument and fight if Justin brings drones and a Titanium Man suit and if Alexei gets his shield from that warehouse maybe gets in shape or not it don't matter

Can we leave Australia out this time, they've suffered enough

The worst is hands down Hawkeyes Japanese. Horrendous. We watched endgame in Japan and the whole audience was laughing.

Who says KZfaq comments are a cesspool or hate and negativity? Sometimes it's where high profile Marvel movies get staffed.

Except lol.

Except

True

Crimson Dynamo was name dropped at least and the big dude he arm wrestles was named Ursa which was meant to imply that he was Ursa Major.

They can use them in Cap 4

I’m hoping that Crimson Dynamo will be in Armor Wars

@@hiimchrisj I just thought they should’ve had a bigger part, even if they aren’t main characters

I was thinking that too; imagine he meets Steeve Rogers dressed as cap and is like "Who are you?" "I'm captain America" "No no no, captain America was big strong black man who could rip the arms off a bear! Who are you?"

That wouldn't work at all. Isaiah, as you said, was in prison for 30 years and then went into hiding and wanted nothing to do with the Captain America title and everything surrounding it.

Isaiah Bradley fought in the Korean War though

@@kerricaine Bro, that’s exactly how I thought of it in the theatres as well. But maybe not Isaiah. They had multiple super soldiers, I believe, so one of them could’ve fought him. And I kind of believe that he’s not lying because he even asked Natasha about it. And she had no reaction to it, like calling it out as a lie or something.

Imagine if there is a three way fight between red guardian Issea america An the winter soldier, it would be interesting if red guardian had a similar treatment as the winter soldier, And was put on ice periodically and being brainwashed,

Cap actually broke with the government when he found it doing unjust things…The Winter Soldier…

@@disguisedcentennial835 Do you mean his arch by the end of his second film. Yea! But you’re forgetting the entire first film and half of the second. Red Guardian hasnt had that story yet or maybe ever. But theyre born of the same intentions.

@@videovoidtv He also went against orders to rescue American soldiers in the first film; after the government wanted him to simply be a propaganda tool.

Same

They were canon, but then got pruned by the TVA

That's my thought, it could have been implanted propaganda to ensure he only ever fights for the USSR. They couldn't risk a super soldier trying to defect. That's not to say I wouldn't mind them exploring him fighting Cap, but it fits the story of he didn't and thought he did.

Because that's not how MCU timetravel works, Cap lived his life in an alternate timeline and didn't go back to the main timeline until he was very old. It confuses a lot of people because the screenwriters infamously stated in an interview that he stayed in the main MCU timeline, which directly contradicts everything they had already established.

@@Guyon-to3tu people keep saying that, but nothing in the movie actually says that. All you have is the Ancient One showing what happens if you remove an Infinity Stone. But guess what. Cap put them back. There's absolutely nothing saying Cap couldn't be in the main (Sacred) timeline.

@@XVOIDDRAGONX by that logic a ton of events in the MCU couldn't have happened because Thanos and his armies traveled to the future from 2014 and met their end there. Steve created a branch timeline when he went to live with Peggy, it's really not that difficult.

@@Guyon-to3tu but then if Cap created a different timeline by going back and staying with Peggy, how is that version of Cap an old man in the main timeline to give the shield to Sam? He's made all sorts of changes by being non-frozen, so his timeline just collapsed back into the main one in time for him to get to that bench?

@@alvinnjenga5782 very simple answer: Pym particles. He returned the stones to their proper places and then settled down with Peggy to live out the rest of his life with her, when she ultimately passed away he used his remaining Pym particles to travel back to the main MCU timeline.

That's funny, I actually had a similar idea. One of the weaknesses in The Incredible Hulk was that we don't get to see Bruce bounce off any main characters until half way through the movie and after that point it's literally only Betty who's honestly not a dynamic character, frankly. Then there's the fact that him being front and center as the protagonist forces you to write Bruce as a more proactive and extraverted character than I feel like Bruce _should_ be. I've always felt that Bruce should be a withdrawn and mysterious character but that's difficult to pull off when he's also the audience surrogate. The movie should've been set up with Betty as the POV character actively searching for Bruce who we meet similarly to how we meet him in The Avengers: introverted, kinda cagey, mysterious, and confident in the fact that he knows that he's dangerous. It would have allowed them to write Betty with more personality and make Bruce more interesting on his own outside of his Hulk persona.

Actually, that was an arc in the Bruce Jones’ run of Incredible Hulk comics (the movie is partially based) and spoiler: Bruce discovers that Betty is actually Mr. Blue (in the movie that role went to Samuel Sterns)

@@charlespuruncajas9663 tbh That would be more interesting than what we got

@@hiimchrisj also it creates real tension between characters Betty would want to help Bruce get to Samuel Stern because she would feel guilty that she led Thunderbolt Ross to Bruce and also it would create the tension between her and her dad making all the interactions between charactera very believable

Thanks!

Not really, theres a pretty big difference being despite what nando thinks about walker. He isn't meant to be a straight up villain. He's supposed to be a morally ambiguous hero

Kurt Russel's already in the MCU as Peter Quill's father, Ego.

Maybe ego killed captain america and took his identity

I thought Steve decided to give up being a superhero after going back in time to be with Peggy? It sounded like he lived a completely normal life in the new timeline.
