The Marvelous Marvel Rewatch (Now Playing: Avengers: Infinity War)

OK, Winter Soldier time.

When I first saw WS, I was turned off a lot by the twist, which seemed so unlikely. I still maintain that retconning Zola from an opportunist to a true HYDRA believer is a stretch, but during the second viewing I was much more forgiving. I focused on the good parts, which are many. Great action direction, remarkable character development for Cap, and strong relationship development between Cap and Falcon & Black Widow. Moreover, WS isn't a mere power fantasy, as so many of these superhero movies are. It's also an interesting take on weapons/surveillance technology, and on the conflict between loyalty to friends and duty to country.

See you on the other side.
