CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER (2011) MOVIE REACTION 

This movie was so good!!! Next Monday get ready for The Avengers!!

If you guys are enjoying the MCU this much already, you're going to lose your minds when you watch The Avengers, and I can't wait!

"So that's all the Avengers?" Oh, just you wait. XD

Chris Evans was spectacular as Steve Rogers/Captain America. In the world of Marvel Comics, he was also great as Johnny Storm/Human Torch from Fantastic 4. A complete contrast in personalities with those characters. Captain America: Down-to-Earth leader Human Torch: Hotshot, womanizing adrenaline junkie

This movie did such a good job of capturing the retro, wholesome vibe - which is also Steve's own vibe, too. Can't wait to see you experience The Avengers! :)

4:44 Schmidt’s line about the Fuhrer digs for trinkets in the desert” can be a a reference to the Indiana Jones movie Raiders of the Lost Ark, in which Nazis search for the Ark of the Covenant in the Egyptian desert. Joe Johnson the director of this movie also worked on Raiders of the Lost Ark

Just so you guys know, this is the serum that the military was trying to have Bruce Banner replicate.

Of all the Marvel movies, Captain America is my favorite. He's just good and wholesome and the kind of role model kids need.

If you remember in Iron Man 2, Fury tells Tony that Howard was one of the founding members of SHIELD. Now we're seeing a bit of that in this movie, which is just a cool little tie.

The bit where Peggy involuntarily just reaches out to touch Cap's amazing Super-Soldier Pecs was improvised by the actress, as that was the first time the actress saw Chris Evans' physique and well... daaaaang. :)

Hulk, Ironman, Captain America, Thor, Natasha Romanov (Black Widow) and Clint Barton (Hawkeye). You've seen Barton for a smidge in the science tent scene in Thor.

You also met Black Widow (Iron Man 2), and Hawkeye (the archer in Thor).

The Captain America comic started during WWII, so that's where they set the origin story. Cap was always one of my favorites and they did a good job showing that he was a 'good man' who became a super hero but didn't lose his sense of self. The Red Skull was one of his original villains so that's why Schmidt looked the way he did.

The super soldier serum was introduced in The Incredible Hulk when Thaddeus Ross had those blue vials and used some on Emil Blonsky. Remember the quote Erskin said "Good becomes great, bad becomes worse". When they gave Emil the serum he became worse than he was. Also the tesseract is an important item in the MCU as are others that you guys will discover in time. Johan Schmidt is also known as Red Skull

Hugo Weaving doesn't only play bad guys he played Elrond in Lord Of The Rings and V in V for Vendetta.

The actor who plays Arnim Zola (the scientist guy with Red Skull) is the voice of Dobby.

I think people miss that Agent Carter ran towards the grenade too in the beginning. Just shows what a match they are ❤

When the editor catches the "Hydra" pistol flash on the "Red Skull's face, I like to commend them, because it's such a repeated and iconic frame in portrayals of the "Red Skull" and a Jack Kirby classic.

That actor that was in the Matrix was also Elron in The Lord of the Rings so not all his roles are bad. He was the head of the Elves in Rivendell

Cap has the most heartbreaking origin story.

Fun fact: the shot at the World's Fair, there's a human in glass display with the name Phineas T. Horton on it. This is an Android that became the first Human Torch. He fought with Captain America and Namor, The Sub Mariner, as The Invaders during WW2. The 107th in this film were actually Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos, subbing Bucky Barnes for Nick Fury.

The second Captain America movie is legit the best MCU movie of all time. Can't wait.

You guys make me smile from the very first second you’re on, you just spread happiness so easily. You are on such an amazing journey with Marvel. I look forward to Mondays nights. 😊

31:40 the guy sitting next to Stan Lee is Reb Brown, he played Captain America in 2 tv movies in 1979.

In terms of power, I think in the MCU they're trying to draw a line from the cube "from Odin's treasure room" to Hydra, and from Hydra to Howard Stark. Howard Stark builds the arc reactor, which Tony then uses to power his armor. So that's one line of power. There's a second line, though, where before Howard Stark gets Hydra technology, he works with Dr. Erskine on the combination of the super soldier serum and the Vita Rays, which is how Captain America gets his power. Decades later, a different super soldier serum and gamma rays are used to transform Banner into the Hulk. Then you have the non-powered agents with their gadgets belonging to SHIELD. And completely separate, you have the Asgardians, who are basically super beings.

In _Iron Man II_ one of the notebooks from his dad that Tony’s leafing through has Howard’s notes on the Tesseract.

Cap's line "I had a date" still hits me to this day 💔

This was my favorite MCU movie up to that point. The Avengers wraps up Phase One with a BOOM!

29:35 This machine actually existed. It's the Focke-Wulf Triebflügel, or Triebflügeljäger, literally meaning "thrust-wing hunter", was a German concept for an aircraft designed in 1944, during the final phase of World War II, as a defense against the ever-increasing Allied bombing raids on central Germany. It was a vertical take-off and landing tailsitter interceptor design for local defense of important factories or areas which had small or no airfields. My inner nerd loves it! 45:03 "Opening a portal to another realm" had me thinking when I first saw this scene ... DO all the people zapped by the tesseract powered weapons get sent there too?

Yeah the reason we got a trailer for Avengers here is this is what is referred to in the MCU as "Phase 1", it was Marvel's plan to do something that hadn't been done yet...create a successful blockbuster ensemble Superhero movie. Now there were the X-Men movies before all of this, but the issue with those is they basically became "Wolverine and Friends", Hugh Jackman was the star and everyone else was the supporting cast. The idea of The Avengers movie was that no one character was the centerpiece, everyone had their chance to shine and were equally important to the film...so Phase 1's job was to give us these solo films, get you to care about these characters, then they come together for the big team up movie and do something that the world had never seen before...and as you'll see next week. Marvel nailed it.

When Red Skull is like the Fuhrer is waisting his time digging for trinkets in the desert that was a nod to Raiders of the last ark.. If you haven't seen those add em to your list!

Great reaction (again). I recall when I was little and read the Capt America comics, and watched the Capt America cartoons ... I didn't care for him. Then THIS movie came out and I was all....OHHHHH YEAH!!!

In Marvel, realms actually refers to different planets, in a later Thor movie this notion gets referenced by someone. The fact implies that the 9 realms are kind like...states? that Odin governs

I love Agent Carter- when you’re done with the films maybe check out her tv show.

Please watch Agent Carter to follow up. And Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D. too. They are both wonderful. They will help you with questions and some fun surprises. :)

You got to hand it to Bucky, he’s one heck of a friend to Steve.

That end credit scene in the Thor movie was just suggesting Loki was controlling Dr. Selvik but the in Cannon excuse for that scene what's the fact that Loki was manipulating the Eric Selvik by whispering ideas in his ear with his own voice. So every time Dr Sullivan got an idea on how to manipulate the tesseract energy it would actually loki telling him instructions on how to use the cosmic cube.

“He always plays bad guys”. Watch “Priscilla: Queen of the Desert”. Not a bad guy at all. And a fantastic movie!!!

Oh, I am so onboard for this journey! ENJOY!!!

So enjoy watching you discover the greatness that is the MCU!

grew up watching it and love it and Cap is awesome

“I had a date.” Keep that in mind.

Black Widow and Hawkeye are also Avengers.

I might've mentioned this before (apologies if I did), but the MCU is broken down into phases to distinguish em. The Avengers is the end of phase 1, then you got phases 2, 3, 4, and currently in real time we're in phase 5

Pls cosplay for next first avenger movie.We will hit the LIKE buttons , right guys?😂

You're doing a far better job at putting together the pieces than I did on first watching all of them. I guess if one had read the comics, one would be familiar with so many little elemets, but I never did. I love your enthusiasm for the whole thing so far!

Hehe just fyi, that guy isn't the one who played Filch in Harry Potter. That would be David Bradley. If you watched Game of Thrones at all, he also plays Lord Walder Frey.

Great reaction and such a great movie. When you get a chance check out the Agent Carter TV series. I wish it had a longer run but worth checking out none the less.

Captain America is my favorite hero in the MCU without exception. Not my favorite _character_... but that's a conversation for much further down the line. Just the strength of character to stand up for what he believes is right despite the efforts of the people around him to get him to compromise his values... really resonates with me. Steve and Peggy are just one of those wonderfully tragic pairs... and the fact of the matter is that what they have isn't about what the serum brings. It is about who each of them are on a very fundamental level.

Cap and his mythology is my all time favorite. There's so much to love and it all starts right here. The sequel to this one is my favorite MCU movie for 1000 reasons.

Iron Man 2 introduces the Black Widow and you need to see that in order to understand who she is

I was waiting for u to see this both cuz its one of my favorite movies and charater but also the actor playing red skull since u guys watched the matrix i wanted to see ur reation

Yeah, y’all are going to enjoy this ride.😊

You might want to consider doing Part One and Part Two reactions to "The Avengers" - and for subsequent Avengers films. Just a thought.

This is my favorite of the earlier marvel movies. I’m so excited to see you react to it!

In the comics, the Tesseract was called "The Cosmic Cube", which is a pretty dumb name. "Tesseract" is much cooler. And it's not just a made-up word. A tesseract is a mathematical term for the four-dimensional analog of a cube. In two dimensions, you have the square; in three dimensions, the cube; and in four dimensions, the tesseract. For other dimensions they often use the term "hypercube", so a tesseract is also called a "4-D hypercube", and you can have 5-D, 6-D, etc., hypercubes, and sometimes these terms are shortened to just "5-cube", "6-cube", etc. The Agent Carter TV series was not very good, IMO. Agent Carter herself is a great character, and there are a few other good characters in the show, but the SSR (Strategic Science Reserve - that would eventually become SHIELD) as a whole, come across like a bunch of idiots. But don't necessarily let that stop you - the show might still be fun to watch. The other show - Agents of SHIELD - was a much better show, but it doesn't take place until after the events of Iron Man 3.

In total there are 6 Avengers who will appear in the movie and you have already seen them all.

Cannot wait for next week. Y'all are gonna jump for The Avengers

18:42 Can't believe you blurred Cap's first shield...

51:03 Hell yeah, never forget the best Avenger.

Your reaction to seeing Bucky fall reminded me of when I watched you watch Gandalf fall. Nooooooo!

Unless u already watched the avengers at this point. Ill let you know that the actor for bruce banner (hulk) changed from ed norton to mark ruffalo. Dont be nervous about it though because i actually prefer mark ruffalo as bruce. His face matches the hulk better and his personality is more mellow which i prefer for bruce and his monotone character

On the upside, at least the Hydra weapons kill you quick.

9:24 Howard Stark was trying to recreate it, and only Tony got close to it in 2nd iron man 19:57 did you watch Lord of the rings? Johann Schmidt is just german John Smith (hello Matrix) 42:37 Tommy Lee scene with shotgun and red button in car was reference yo "Men in black"

"He always plays the bad guy" Sorry Elrond.

Team cap! Wait til civil war! Oh winter soldier is epic too

You forgot about Hawkeye Clint Barton wow 51:27

yeah red skull/Schmidt vanished to another realm like Thor's rainbow bridge.... i wish you might had skipped the preview of the Avengers in end credits. good reaction catch u on next Monday edit :- the "tesseract" which you just saw is very important stuff you'll find out but the freezing casket in thor is different & its chapter is over

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a whole different level from this one.

Any chance yall can make it Monday Friday cause this gonna be a long journey otherwise and I forgot about yall till I got the notification

That ending line makes me cry EVERY time.

If you're a fan of the Peggy Carter character there is a marvel One Short film with her and a partially Cannon agent Carter TV series which you should out with your personal time off camera. The agent Carter series is not important to the overarching MCU story but it is fun and does late great lore in for a another fan favorite character Black widow.

Say what you want about Iron Man-Cap has the best trilogy in the MCU, IMO. Enjoy the ride!

Theres a one season series that follows the exploits of Agent Carter on Disney plus.

You guys do a pretty good job doing the ACT in re-acting. "first-time watching" isn't really close though.

USA! USA! USA!

7:05 Homage to a little 'glitch' Bill Gates ran into many moons ago when he was onstage when Microsoft introduced Windows 98. Plugged in a scanner to demonstrate plug-and-pray...er, play, plug-and-play, and the machine blue-screened. Gstes civered with "We aren't shipping quite yet.". Howard Stark is part Walt Disney, part Howard Hughes.

That trailer at the end was not part of the original end credits. It's really kind of spoilery. I don't know if you normally watch the trailers before these movies or not. Completely blind reactions are cooler, in my opinion.

From the Matrix? He is from the Lord of the Rings!

Are we sure these two are not trolling everyone by playing old SNL characters?

Watch Band of Brothers if you like the military. Best WW2 True Story Series of all time!!!!!!!!1

hey uh your iron man 2 is banned in this country

You Both Say that Line, I had a Date. Was so Heavy. But you Edited it Completely out!?! Why of All the lines in the Movie 🎥 you two KNUCKLE HEADS Cut that Out!?? WHY?

Eventually you'll get to watch "Deadpool ". That's gonna be fun!

I don't like captain America so I'm gonna skip this reaction..
