This is my favorite MCU movie. I love, love, love it. I know I’ve already said I love origin stories, and here’s another one to add to that list, but this movie also made me love Steve Rogers. I know he’s super vanilla in the grand scheme of things, but Evans does such a good job at it that I just fell in love with the character (this also spun off into following Evans’ acting career).
Back to the plot, this movie is the entirety of his transformation, the lead up to it, and the aftermath. Here is our first encounter with Hydra, Red Skull, and S.H.I.E.L.D., and the introduction of several characters who only seemed minor to begin with, like Agent Carter, and Bucky Barnes. Also the infamous shield that came from Howard Stark.
It’s just so good! And yes, I am overly, massively biased about this movie, and I will happily admit it.
