Man, so much to talk about. That movie is DENSE. So much happened in it, but nothing ever felt rushed, and no characters suffered for the pace. Such a satisfying film!
I was waiting for the Red Skull as well. But I honestly think it may be better off to wait and him in the third film.
The use of Zola was inspired. So great to see him very close to his comic version, and a great tie-back to the original film. Anyone who thought the Bucky torture scene in the first film WASN'T a set-up for this needs to pay more attention. And believe me, there are those who didn't get that, and they KNOW about the Winter Soldier!
It really surprised me that they didn't magically sweep all this away at the end, and have SHIELD running at 70% or so. I'm so glad they didn't. Another great thing about these Marvel films, is much like the comics, there is change and growth with each story. I do wonder what they are going to do with the TV series. I need to catch up on that...
DAMN, that was a good movie!

The film was super satisfying on all levels. Full of action, but we really got to know more about the characters, maybe not everything but more.
What I always loved about Captin America is that he elevates the characters around him, making them better by setting such a strong example and standard. I love that Marvel Studios doesn't run away from that and Marvel put it up on the big screen unashamedly. Marvel trusts its characters as they were created and as they have developed.
I know I'm whipping a dead horse, but I wish WB/DC had as much faith in its characters.Comment

^Amen. Preach on.
Cap is the heart and soul, the moral compass of the Marvel Universe. And he's portrayed as such in these films.

so since this is a spoilers thread....I guess I did not stay long enough into the credits, I saw the first extra scene, did not stay to see if there was a second. what was the second scene?Comment

The final scene after the credits takes place at the Smithsonian. It pans around the Cap exhibit again, and then we see a man in a hoodie staring at the large infographic about Bucky. It's the Winter Soldier. So now, he knows.

Question: Who does this Brock Rumlow guy become? He's presumably still alive but badly burned (Mustafa reference from Austin Powers), and they showed him being loaded into an ambulance.
The end credits sequence showed multiple silhouettes of him as well. Does that represent Hydra, or does this guy become something more?

^I was thinking Crossbones, but the multiple images thing threw me off.
I remember hearing Crossbones was in the movie. Hmmm...

Crossbones, a red Skull henchman who was tutored by Taskmaster, played a key part in Brubaker's arc that introduced the Winter Soldier and eventually led to Bucky becoming Cap for a while.Last edited by madmarva; Apr 6, '14, 8:36 AM.Comment

Crossbones was introduced back in Mark Gruenwald's long run. In some ways, he was very similar to Bane, who came a few years later.

Another thing: the new Hot Toys Stealth Cap/Steve Rogers 2-pack shows a blank shield with only a few paint blothces left. That was not in the film. We get the no-red paint scheme for the stealth mission, but then Steve apparently had it painted back to the traditional colors, and it looked normal for the rest of the film.
Makes one wonder if it was shot without the paint, and the filmmakers decided to go back in and digitally recolor it or something.
