Officer asked a reasonable question. Officer got a reasonable answer.

The deleted scenes from the battle of New York were excellent. Like that cop who grabbed the Chitauri gun and shot down one of these flying things. Right then he gets on the radio - "Get the guns. The guns are very good."

This is typical Captain America. A guy wearing a cartoonishly patriotic suit shows up holding a shield and starts talking. No one takes him seriously until they witness him in action, after which they follow him without question. It was this way in the comic books, it was this way on TV (X-Men Animated Series), and it was portrayed perfectly in the MCU. I love seeing it.

The NYPD Officer sounded like a boss when he took charge tho

"Men don't follow titles, they follow courage" - Braveheart

I love the trope of cops never wanting to take orders from superheroes, they see what they're up against, and then it's "actually yeah we'll do the support role"

There's something very primal about: "Why should I listen to you?" "I can kill what you can't." "Orders sir."

Funny thing is in this situation Cap actually would have legal authority to issue orders to the cops. It's an invasion, and he's the senior active duty US military officer on scene. Local forces such as police take orders from ranking military officers in these kinds of situations. (Not that an ALIEN invasion is the usual thing that is directed at...)

Cap's true power is being an expert tactician and field commander. And he's often been depicted as having a form of charisma when he talks that inspires others.

I remember seeing this in the theater on opening night and everyone laughing hysterically after the cop immediately changed his tune 😂.

Not sure which was more awesome: The humor in this scene when the cop took the Captain's orders, or the heroism in the scene when the SHIELD tech refuses Hydra's commands, based on "Captain's orders." The MCU was really great back then.

Loved how black widow was multi-tasking, shooting 2 guns and talking, and basically pretty much everything else.

1:11 I love how they added the alien's arm slipping out of the gun after it was cut off by Cap.

Sgt Gormley did such a great job he was promoted to Detective Sgt. and eventually became the defacto Chief of Department for Commissioner Reagan. 😮

This is why this movie is my favorite avengers film, it was smooth, casual, and effortlessly made jokes like this. Modern marvel I need a laugh track to actually figure out when they are trying to make a joke

Anyone else notice as Steve was coming out of his roll, it looked like his ass was on fire? 🤣

I find it impressive that even though he had his doubts he listened and memorized the order word for word

The cop questioned why, yet he only needed to hear Cap once to know what his orders were

Can we appreciate how on it the cop is? Like initially he’s confused on who cap is but still retained the orders and didnt miss a beat when he realized caps instructions are worth following

Gotta love how the city police have no idea what’s going on, they had no warning or anything, then they’re fighting for their lives, then suddenly a guy in star-spangled tights with a saucer shows up and kicks alien ass

Ultron once said that Captain America was the most dangerous of the Avengers because he inspired the rest to keep fighting.

The bus has incredible shock absorbers. After being hit, he didn't even move.

0:50 Captain America: You were saying?

Captain America: "PARKOUR!"

Clearly Daniel Sousa was doing some time traveling.

How fast their attitudes changed after Cap dealt with the aliens was so hilarious 😂😂

Hawkeye helps a child through the window and then opens the door for everyone else 😅

I truly miss this OG Glory MCU Films

At 1:17, it’s the Captain’s stance that always gets to me. As if he’s giving the officer a Batman glare while avoiding eye contact. 😅 Also, the officer immediately remembering the Captain’s words with calmness just cracks me up. Love this scene. 😄

THAT'S why you take orders from him.

When the joke isn't forced or a quip and feels natural to the scene.

"Talk shit about them all you want, just make sure they're absolutely out of earshot. at the end of the day, they're the one that stands between you and those want to eat you, and don't give them any reason for you to stand in front of them" - Sun Tzu (maybe?)

Well well well…nice to see Agent Daniel Sousa (Agent Carter & Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) here before he was even cast as Sousa

1:03 *Cap:* "Hold that thought." 1:15 *Cap:* "You were saying?"

These little moments are what breathed life into the Marvel movies - grounded them. I might have nostalgic glasses as i grow up but man I hope Marvel can come back to greatness

*BACK WHEN MCU WAS EPIC...*

Dude this movie in theaters was life changing. The crowd made this movie so much more than it ever was since. The best part was seeing them stop to save people; every time they did, the theater burst into applause. This scene had the audience cheering, gasping, laughing, and then cheering in a way that I have not forgotten since.

"You and i 'pronounce' Budapest very differently."

Does the army know whats happening here? U.S. Captain arrives Why the hell should I take orders from you?

The fact that chris evens did all this is actually pretty impressive.

Ahhh the good old days

So grounded, so normal, so relatable This is what the MCU should have been

Difference between a boss and a leader is shown here.

I'm guessing that whole Captain America being defrosted thingy still didn't set on everybody's mind yet. I mean, the moment Cap is running in the middle of streets at the end of first Cap movie probably already creating a buzz, but when SHIELD is involved, information might just been filtered, since SHIELD at that time try to prioritize Cap's recovery. So, I'm not surprise if that cop just assume Cap is just some random guy with costume and not Cap himself.

Captain America’s suit in this movie is fucking beautiful

NYPD sergeant: "Why should I take orders from you?" Captain kills the aliens: "Just do it "

I just like the fact everyone has super powers or high tech suits and Black widow is just like "GUNS"

Cop at :53 on left was in Agent Carter- guy with the cane iirc.

This feels just like that scene from Firefly where Mal tries to reason with one of the gangster's men, fails, kicks him into the engine, then suddenly has an easier time dealing with the other one.

The way he turns and just starts giving out the instructions cap gave him always cracks me up 😂😂😂

I love how this cop is trying to question America's ass

This was one of my favourite scenes of Avengers.

This scene never gets old 😂

This is the first time Captain America has really been seen in public since WW2. It's no wonder that the first reaction was "Who the fuck are you?!". And consider the rest of them: Black Widow - Lady no better equiped than the police with no noticable badge of authority Hawkeye - as above, but "...this dude doesn't even have a gun - he's got a fucking long bow..." Hulk - probably mistaken for an attacker Thor - "Did the renn fair let out early?" The only one that might have some recognition with the authorities would be Tony Stark - and even then, they know he's essentially a private citizen. He's got no authority to order anyone round.

This scene will always be good

This was a real Marvel movie.

Never realized that cop was Enver Gjokaj until this very moment lmao

Thanks man. Same to you!

One of Cap's best moments in A1.

One of my favorite scenes.

I miss this marvel... it was so good back then. They better do right by blade. I'm most excited to see that. And wesley snipes better be whistler

This scene was epic

Good job Sergeant Gormley i see why he get promoted to work for Frank Raegen.

I will never forget when I watched this film with my aunt for the first time, that scene made the entire theatre laugh out loud

Officer got his ass humbled real quick 😂😂.

If Falcon became Captain America at this point, the cops would have shot him first

Damn, scenes like this just make me really miss old-mcu.

Now this is the Marvel I love.

0:40 Who also recognised Daniel Sousa from "Agent Carter"? So this is the timeline he decided to stay in?

i love that ScarJo is just standing in the middle of the road firing 2 glocks into giant alien ships

"Why the hell should I take orders from you?" 'Coz I have America's a$$' Cop: Hmm.. seems legit -- proceeds to follow orders.

When marvel was good and had a genuine sense of humor.

One of my favorite parts

Captain America meets Sergeant Gormley.

This movie was literally perfect. It completely shits on endgame. Bigger isn't always better.

Man I miss this era of marvel…thankfully we get to experience a taste of this again with DP3

Sid didn't wait to clear it with Frank!

Good ole Sid Gormley, look at him now the right hand man to Commissioner Reagan. (He’s on Blue Bloods if you were wondering.)

The fact the Captain America still reflexively gives orders like the Captain he is😂

My favorite scene ever in Avengers.

That action scene looks so goody now lol.

"Does the Army know what's happening here?!" *one of the most famous soldiers in history drops right in front of you*

This movie really brings back memories

This scene never fails to make me laugh. "Why should we listen to you?" After seeing what he can do... "oh, ok"

Its one of those action speaks louder than words moment

Me encanta esta película 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

i loved how the NYPD officer sounded like a boss after taking charge of cavillation safety

WHEN IT WAS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

This NYPD sergeant gets promoted to LT and becomes the NYPD commissioner's right-hand man.

@bbenjoe I agree. nicely summarized. once the caption showed what he is made of . the officer didnt waste time in repeating what the Caption had said.

lol lol!!! one of my favorite lines!!!!

“Why the hell should I be taking orders from you?” *Steve breaking robots* “Understood, have a good day”

That's how you do humor. Not just random jokes about holes and diks. Marvel needs to see this.

When you realize the cop was the detective sergeant in Blue Bloods

This is the kind of subtle comedy that old MCU was loved for - especially the bit when the Sergeant, after seeing Cap kick alien butts, promptly changes his mind and repeats Cap's instructions word-for-word. You'd be lucky to find such subtle moments of comedy amidst serious context in the present day MCU movies. The comedy moments are way too overt and in-your-face; instead of finding it hilarious, they come across as old, tired and desperate. And the worst thing about such forced comedy routines in the new movies? Had the makers decided to exclude the comedy, the entire scene would have been actually been more enjoyable.

This is my favorite scene from the movie!

Bring back those marvel glory days

Actions speak louder than words❤

This, Cap giving the plan and the part where the old man stands up to Loki! I say 3 best parts of the movie

great response
