Guys I know that this Video has takennn agesss to get uploaded, unfortunately in order to get these reactions as long as I have them and have as much content in the movie as possible, it often is a very hard battle to get the videos approved, Im constantly trying to get these videos approved, and Monica and I are actually a lot further ahead than we are on TH-cam, but no matter when I have them editited ultimately its up to TH-cam to allow them to get posted. if these videos continue to keep taking as long then at some point ill have to change the length of the reactions and what I show in these reactions as it seems like its the only way it will be approved, either way though I hope you enjoy the reaction, and as always if you do want to catch us where we are at currently then check out the Patreon.
All good man, I'd rather wait longer between videos to have better content to watch, thanks for the effort you put in behind the scenes:)
I appreciate the work you put in to keep these reactions long. If it gets too frustrating and you need to shorten them a bit, I'm sure everyone would understand.
All good man copyright sucks take your time though whether its patreon or youtube things will get posted when they get posted no biggie
I think revealing too much of the story is one of the reason the video is difficult to get approved. Maybe you should blur out the parts where you and Monica talking. I really enjoy the reaction from you both Good luck for the next video.
Just a suggestion if you continue to find it difficult to post the longer reactions you could also try separating them into parts iv seen a couple reaction channels do that and its helped them to not get copyright issues, anyway loved the reaction! and I hope you guys are enjoying the journey
The fact that Peggy Carters actor couldn't help her self when she touched Caps biceps will always make me laugh and I have no idea why
Yeah they said that part wasn't scripted🤣🤣🤣
@@francismhlanga5081 Can't blame her though
@@Giveuponyourdreamsanddie2 lolll
She touched his pec, not his bicep
Pecs, not biceps wkwkwk
Her reaction to Cap America transformation like “i wont comment in front of you” 😂
That was actually the actress that's true reaction to him it was never scripted
@@antoinerideaux-porche6036 He mean his girlfriend dude, nice fun fact tho.
34:29 worst? thats the best thing ever looks like some people want cap to die of alcoholism
Peggy was absolutely interested in Steve pre-serum. She was his superior and he was in basic. Then they were immediately separated. She took her shot as soon as she had one. 🙂
yea she always kept looking at him even before the car ride, like when he was crawling and got stuck and he got yelled at and peggy immediately turned around and looked for him
Yeah I dont know what he was talking about
26:26 Steve doesn't make that huge jump to save himself; he makes the jump to save Bucky because Bucky refused to leave without him. I always thought that said a lot about how Steve always cares more about others than about himself and it showed how strong the bond between him and Bucky is.
Based brothers in arms. Refusing to leave each other.
That's why I loved Endgames ending, he deserved to be selfish for once.
34:29 worst? thats the best thing ever looks like some people want cap to die of alcoholism
In the beginning when they found the shield in ice, that was them findings Steve years later.
No shit?
@@RowdyBrian17 she’s saying it cause they clearly didn’t notice and were confused at the end
34:29 worst? thats the best thing ever looks like some people want cap to die of alcoholism
That "I had a date." at the end of the movie always feels like a knife to the fuckin' throat
100% agree most heartbreaking end credit scene from this era of phase 1 still one of my all-time favorite movies!
for those who find love useful yes for those who find love useless like me not f love dont need to live my life + i want to have my money and freedom
@@shawnwacek6791 100% agree? you only have based knowledge do you?
He was frozen for 70 years so his body was preserved and he was a super soldier so his brain function is normal
Well, it's really because of the serum. For Steve, hypothermia, which was supposed to kill him, instead triggered a side-effect of his super soldier serum and rendered him in a state of suspended animation, it was as if Steve was paused in time until he was retrieved. If he didn't have the serum, he would have just died.
@@Jinzulen but to be fair, if he never has the serum he would not have even been in that situation lol 😭😭
34:29 worst? thats the best thing ever looks like some people want cap to die of alcoholism
When he called him weak, he wasn't referring to a weak character .. he was referring to weak physically. He IS weak, he más many medical conditions that prohibit him from being physically strong. So he's saying that when he becomes strong, he'll respect that new strength. There's no way of taking it in a bad way, it was a compliment all around.
they are too stupid to understand it like most people
10:12 This was the scene that made Steve Rogers my favorite avenger. Yeah, he becomes a super soldier, but he’s not nothing without that. Steve is the only one who thinks outside the box, he uses his brain. By the end of the movie, he’ll have both the brain and the brawn to match.
I mean, none of the Avengers are nothing without their powers. Tony Stark isn't nothing without his armor, Bruce Banner isn't nothing without the Hulk, Thor isn't nothing without his hammer, etc. etc. Steve isn't unique in that regard.
This phenomenon of TH-camrs watching the MCU is a total blast for those of us who need some new angle after watching these films so many times already. Way to go!
"He low-key called him weak"
..but if you listen to his explanation you realize the real "power" that makes someone good/great isn't power/strength, it's respect.
In Greek mythology, the hydra was a dragon like creature that if you cut off one head, two more would grow in its place.
🤷no shit sherlock . They keep saying it in the movie.
@@blackmantis3130 he was sYing it cause they didnt seem to know it they commented about they really like sYing that. I was gonna say it if it wasnt said he was explaining it so they understand
@@blackmantis3130 are you right in the head
@@blackmantis3130 Anything wrong with you, brotha?
34:29 worst? thats the best thing ever looks like some people want cap to die of alcoholism
4:08 - It's not discrimination. If you have a medical condition, you're a liability (especially in combat). Whether you're a front line infantry soldier or a military cook, you still need to be able to do your job where the military needs you without medical hindrance. However, things have gotten better in last few decades. For example, having flat feet is no longer an automatic disqualification when enlisting.
yep it was really a stupid and ignorant statement
@@icoborg
Anyone with a brain knows what he was trying to say. What he meant. No need to be a dick about it, calling it stupid 🙄
The reason why "Cut off one head, two more will take its place" is Hydra's catchphrase is because the hydra is a creature from mythology whose heads keep on growing with double the number despite being cut off by Hercules repeatedly. So while it does mean that there will always be more Hydra soldiers to fight, it's a cool reference to Schmidt's obsession with ancient myths. Although the hydra is actually a water snake and not an octopus (which is how it is depicted on the soldiers' pins).
According to Marvel lore Hydra existed before Red Skull, they were a shadow group and he used his position with Hitler to increase their power and he and Van Strucker became the public faces of Hydra
I think the reason it's an octopus, is cause there are actually 2-3 representations of it where it still has the draconic body. But rather than legs and claws, it actually does have 4-6 tentacles.
So just having the head and tentacles just makes for a better icon. Plus, as you said, it plays into his obsession with mythologies (especially obscure ones.)
34:29 worst? thats the best thing ever looks like some people want cap to die of alcoholism
With Zeus in the MCU what if we get a real Hydra lol
Both Steve and Peggy ran towards the grenade. He got there first, but she was right there behind him. I love that.
The attention she pays to details. Man, I wish to find someone who can watch movies with me with same intellect 😂
Such an underrated movie. I love how well they showed that Steve had the hart of a hero regardless of strength, and the grenade scene is the perfect example. Combining that will with a body that would make ancient Greek sculptures weep creates one of the greatest superheroes of all time.
FYI its not "little Easter eggs" the whole MCU is interconnected.
“I don’t want to kill anyone. I don’t like bullies, I don’t care where they’re from”
FINALLY BRO IVE BEEN WATING
Fr
We all were
She always kinda liked him.. from day 1. She liked that he was smart and kind... she was impressed with him.
ye she did but there's plenty of men women 'like' that they aren't attracted to.. just ask your avg guy how many times they've heard "u r like a friend/bro to me" or "you're a really nice guy but..." lol
I guess having those personality qualities is good but having them in that frame is great.
@@vkdeen7570 yeah that's true... but I think for movie purposes it's meant to seem like she romantically liked him all along. Especially in the car scene with the "the right partner" statement. It set him apart from the rest... her face was like 😲😍 lol
@@raquelsanchez288 true that seems to be what they were going for
Yep! Also, MILD SPOILERS FOR A FUTURE MCU MOVIE
We get to see Agent Carter's desk. She has a photo of Steve on it. The photo isn't of buff Steve, it is a photo of Skinny Steve. I really liked that detail. Never got the impression that Carter only liked him when he became strong.
@@SidPhoenix2211 yeahhhh... u should probably delete this lol. But I totally agree with what u said, it's the cutest thing ever. True love
Sad neither of them recognized that actor in the Norway scene as Argus Filch in Harry Potter
Fun fact, the German scientist (Toby Jones) is the voice of Dobby in Harry Potter
i think everyone knew that
@@HeyItsEmmanuel NO WAY
Or Walder Frey from Game Of Thrones.
And Agent K pushed red button, which he recommend never to push it to Agent J on "Men in black"😂
Randomly came across this vid and decided to watch all of your MCU reactions and they've been great so far. I find myself enjoying watching people discover the MCU and reliving how I felt when I first watched them. Also, your gf, she's spot on and I like how she's catching all these little easter eggs from previous movies.
As a veteran, I can tell you that the reason they don't want to recruit someone with that many health problems is because it puts other soldiers at risk. A unit is only as strong as it's weakest soldier. Him needing to be saved because he can't hold his own would get someone else killed.
I love this movie, honestly my favorite of Phase 1 other than The Avengers.
Chris Evans did such an amazing job. So many people were afraid when he was cast in this role, because he'd almost only ever played a wisecracking, jokester kind of character.
But he really became Steve Rogers, and I personally can't imagine anyone else in this role.
It’s crazy looking back at where this all started since Falcon and the Winter Soldier is currently airing.
I can not wait for her to watch Endgame!! 😆
Same. Though with TH-cam being how they are, it could take a long time before we see it, but we will.
In 2 Years
Don't wait for Endgame 😑😑
Yeah "its been a long long time" since i watched endgane
34:29 worst? thats the best thing ever looks like some people want cap to die of alcoholism
It gets overlooked but in training camp when Steve jumps on the grenade Peggy is also running towards it.
This made my day! I’m so proud of Monica! She’s picking up on all the Stan Lee cameos in each movie and the others little things that show up! I can’t wait for you to watch Thor 3 either, it’s my favorite of the MCU movies!
Gotta wait longer for reaction vids than the actual movies. 😂😂
hahaha yeah
"Hail Hydra" is not a catchphrase, a Hydra is actually a mythical creature with 9 heads I believe, and if you cut a head off, 2 more grow in its place. That is why Red Skull and Hydra say the phrase.
Glad you guys are watching these. Captain America is my favorite Avenger and I'm looking forward to more of your reactions. Next stop: The Avengers!
So portions of this movie are actually inspired by the real-life story of Audie Murphy, an American soldier who fought in World War Two despite being rejected for service multiple times.
Just a heads up, the guy was Howard Stark, Tony’s dad. Assuming Tony is in his late 40s or so, that means the time during WWII where Cap came from was 20+ years before Tony was born.
At the very beginning they fond him frozen, and the dude said this one has been asleep long enough. That was modern time. Then they went into the story.
Love this film. Do you remember that, years later, research was being done to replicate the dead Dr's super-soldier serum...and that's what accidentally created The Hulk? Oh...and the original Captain America comic stories WERE a war propaganda thing to boost moral. The film used this brilliantly I think.
You can break a video down into 2 parts.... It would be easy to upload and also you can cover more time..!
If you like Peggy Carter you should watch the Agent Carter show. It has two seasons with about 8 episodes and it’s really fun and entertaining.
It’s been 84 years.....
5:21 It’s so cool how you caught that! Just like they had the Stark Expo in the present day during Iron Man 2, they also had it in the 1940s. That honestly never clicked in my head until now! Wow! Good eye!
The moment she touches his chest was not scripted the actress Hayley Atwell couldn't resist touching his peck, she hasn't seen him shirtless before
One reason why Hydra uses the slogan, “cut off one head, and two more shall take its place” is because in Greek mythology, there is a serpentine water monster called the Lernaean Hydra, where if you cut off one of its heads, two more will grow back. 🤯
I haven’t seen it yet, but I feel like Monica is gonna looove the scene of Cap’s transformation😍
I'm really enjoying your reaction to the movies guys. You are taking in alot and have good insights its a pleasure to watch.
Ah yes. My favourite of Phase 1! Let's go!
So glad to see this is finally out. Always a treat. I know this took forever to work, but it was certainly worth it.
Avengers is next huh? Heck yeah, the journey has officially begun!
I almost started crying when he jumped on that grenade. He did not even hesitate to save everyone.
Now why would you want someone with all those health issues going to war, Rico?? 😂😂
he really doesn't seem to get what a total war is about. From dissing war bonds to saying enlist every rando who shows up... like bruh it all mattered.
They're british. Their country is getting so woke people are being fined and arrested for misgendering. Both of our countries is actively weakening our military just for the sake of political correctness. Like allowing women to go into combat,etc massively reducing physical fitness requirements for men and women,etc.
@@nukiesduke6868 and then we have conspiracy theorists who massively oversimplify issues like a Fox News anchor and pretend like Britain isn’t suffering it’s worst recession of the century off the back of psycho conservatives who believed every lie peddled to them. Not to mention it’s affiliation to the greater defensive sphere or every other major diplomatic loss of face that brexit alchemied into a full on threat to national security.
Agent Carter’s “Steve” when the line goes dead gets me every time. Hayley atwell killed it as Peggy
Coupled with Cap’s “I had a date” 🥺 I don’t understand how this isn’t more people’s favourite mcu origin movie
It was incredible chemistry.
As an asthmatic who was in the military, I can say that the US military doesn't often like to take on people who will need costly medical treatments or time from work due to illness. In World War II, there was no treatment or cure (still no cure) for asthma. Plus, if you freeze Steve's medical report, you see he has a host of other problems, including heart problems. He had Scarlet Fever and Rheumatic Fever at differing times. My dad had Rheumatic fever and it never went away, lurking in the background and eating up his heart. Steve was a medical disaster and it was surprising he even lived to 24 (my dad's FIRST heart surgery was at 25, and he died on the table twice before they managed to help him live . . . he eventually died at 57 from his rheumatic Heart Fever). Thus, the military would be thinking they'd spend more money on Steve's health and training (an asthmatic can barely do the rigorous exercise needed in training alone without medical intervention, and that wasn't available in the 1940s). Plus, his mother died of Tuberculosis, which means Steve was exposed to that disease. While TB is treatable now, it was not treatable then and was considered a death sentence. Basically, Steve would not even be allowed near the soldiers in his condition and with his medical background. The serum was the ONLY way he could get in.
5:38 There's one Easter egg for fans of the 1940s comics: "The Synthetic Man" is a reference to the original Human Torch. Not Johnny Storm of the Fantastic Four (played by Chris Evans in the 2005 film and its sequel), but an artificial man. In comics, Cap and Bucky teamed up with Torch and other heroes to fight the Axis.
This movie is so slept on by MCU fans it's a damn shame. This is one of my top 5 favorite MCU films and wish it got more attention.
Fun fact the car chase scene when Steve is running after the bad guy he’s actually wearing boots that look like bare feet so he wouldn’t step on any rocks or glass
5:42 Doctor Who fans will notice Jenna Coleman a.k.a Clara, the 11th & 12th Doctors companion!
People still watch doctor who?
I am a Huge Marvel Fan & I am Really exited to watch this saga with You Guys it's like I am also watching it for the First time❤️
And I would love to suggest you to watch Stranger Things it's one of the best shows I have ever watched and I hope you guys like it🤗
Great profile picture for a marvel fan 😂😂
@@louiechapman-jones9861 i just realized it's the joker 💀
@@louiechapman-jones9861 yeah I love Joker Than any other villain so😅
In case you haven't put it together by now, the reason for the line about cutting off heads is because a hydra is a mythical dragon like monster that if you cut off its head 2 more will grow back in it's place.
Greek mythology
I learned this with the Hercules movie from Disney 😂👌🏻
@@susyperez8445 i learned it from Percy Jackson yo. Haha.
I love how the doctor points to Steve's chest, signifying stay true to who u were b4 the serum & never lose his good hearted nature. 🙏🏾❤
He is alive because remember that the serum protected him. Even like this. The ice preserved him.
So glad you enjoyed this! Was worried you wouldn’t because it’s quite different. Can’t wait to see you react to the rest, particularly the last few. Will watch these regardless of when it comes out, I know it’s tricky with copyright. Thanks for your hard work and hope you’re both doing well 😊
28:27 Goddamn, that made me bawl. 10 years of following this journey does that to you. This hits so much differently now. 😭😭 (edit: apparently not just that scene 😭😭)
Ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This has always been one of my favorite movies but watching it again these days hits different, love Peggy and cap truly
A hydra is a creature in greek mythology with 3 heads. Whenever you cut off one head, 2 more grow back, making your job harder
The scene where he jumps on the grenade is so underrated
Schmidt is the Red Skull. That’s why he looks like that.
Definitely a good watch while also watching Falcon and the Winter Soldier
fun fact: the caretaker of the cathedral (?) in norway in the beginning was actually filch (aka "crazy cat man" as monica once called him HAHAHHAA)!! and i find it so cute that whenever something happens, you guys tilt your head to the side in the same manner
that globe that you saw in the beginning that you remember from iron man is a globe monument here in queens, new york at a park called flushing meadows park. that's where the stark expo was in the iron man movie you were referencing and this movie is from the past, same park because both characters are originally from new york and the monument has been there since 1939.
I am a fan of stucky. This has so much stucky love in it
42:10 - possibly the saddest moment in the MCU. Top Five, at the very least. Literally what kicks off the 'Man out of time' arc.
I love everything about this. I love the length (especially compared to other reactions of this film). I love y'all's chemistry (as a couple and as just 2 reactioners) and I love the insight.
This is entertainment lol 🤣
Well, it's been a while since I've seen one of your reactions but how I've missed you guys
I'm loving this series of reactions!! I can't wait to see this progress and watch how Monica is shocked by the huge things to come!
I know I’m late as hell on this but if y’all ever watched Disney’s Hercules movie that creature that keeps getting its head cut off by Hercules… That’s a hydra. It’s from Greek mythology… You cut off one head and two take its place.
Captain America is my favorite hero in the MCU, and this is a great introduction, it handles the character of Steve Rogers so well. I don't think it is a great movie, mostly because it kinda rushes to the end after Cap gets his shield and uniform, it could've used some breathing room and bonding with Cap and the Howling Commandos. Still quite like it, and the sequels are great.
Maybe you should split the vids into two parts to avoid copyright. That might make it easier for you 🤷♂️
Fun fact: the nice scientist that helped out Steve played one of the most hated characters in cinema history in the movie “the lovely bones”
Now your interested? She was obviously already getting more interested in him to begin with for who he was.
Because my all-time favorite MCU movie from the new era
I LOST IT WHEN RICO SAID NOW YOU INTRESTED HA
i also like how they did the lil detail of when Steve is running, he's a bit clumsy at first because he's barely gotten used to his new body and hasnt gotten used to the newfound strength and speed that he has.
The line "cut off one head 2 more shall take its place" is a reference to mythological creature the hydra. This creatures abilities you guessed it growing 2 heads when 1 is cut off.
Cant wait to see the 2nd one
I just realized that the young Howard stark is a complete adaptation of the "classic" tony stark design from the comics.
Looking forward to The Winter Soldier movie. Thats where Cap action scenes became more bad ass
Were you able to find an editor man?😁
The body double for "Little Steve" is the Bartender at the club (Scene around 28:30)
God I’m so happy this is back you guys have such good commentary. You have so much cool shit ahead of you!
25:22 I love his face there, he's like "In the name of freedom what the fondue is that?!" XD
the guy who played the old man at the start of the movie is same guy who played mr filch in the HP movies
After finishing The Falcon and the Winter Soldier show re-watching this movie just made everything about it more special.
Just discovered your channel, really enjoyed the reaction!
Great reaction, hope that you keep making all the mcu films!
The line about cutting off one head to be replaced by two more is a reference to the hydra monster from greek mythology
I gotta say, I love seeing you guys’ reactions to the MCU.
If ur referring to “mind the gap” it is used in the Underground and I think with all trains where they say mind the gap between the edge of the tracks and the platform.
11:38 so glad you two seem to like Steve, I love him so much. I love all the avengers tbh. Marvel is good at creating great characters.
Just to give you a little clarification of how Cap slept in ice for so long, you know how things get preserved when frozen and how they've found prehistoric animals completely preserved in ice, not alive though when thawed. Well, same principle except Steve has the super-soldier serum in him that keeps healing him and it kept his blood from crystallizing while frozen, which is the reason we can't survive being frozen and brought back at this time with current technology. If we can find a way to keep frozen blood cells from crystallizing, then cryogenics would be actually possible.
I love this movie. Captain America was one of my favorite Marvel characters growing up and I'm...(*ahem*) old...er. ;-) A lot of people didn't understand (before this movie came out) who he was and just thought he might be just some jingoistic propaganda and sure, that's how he started, both in actuality in the comics during war time, but also in this movie how he started off as a propaganda show-pony selling bonds. But, this version of him as being just "a good man" is how I always saw him and I was SO pleased with how they portrayed him and how Chris Evans embodied him. That look on his face at the end and when he says, "...I had a date," always gets me. I've always seen him as a bit of a sad character 'cause he's a man out of time which makes it even harder for him to get close to people and he has all these ideals and principles he grew up with that are looked at as old fashioned and out of date by many, but he always tries to stay true to those principles, even if it goes against what others and even the government says. He's not simply a "good soldier," but first and foremost he's a good man.
I love this channel so much, but waiting more than a month for the videos on TH-cam it’s crazy.
I know TH-cam it’s a pain in the ass with the copyright but try to make the videos in two parts videos of 10-15m of content and three parts for the Avengers movies that are the ones with more important scenes and content. I can’t wait for The Avengers and I hope it doesn’t take another month haha. Love y’all !
