#ugh fuck #fuck fuck fuck #steve didnt even fucking use the shield he had in his hand #he just puched zola in the face #and it’s not a face #it’s a fucking screen #and it just keeps turning on#mocking him #natasha calls him ‘chipper’ later #for a guy who found out he died for nothing#dont be fooled #steve is anything but chipper #steve is angry and in pain and distraught #but this is steve rogers #and he’s been a variation of the three of them for years #and he knows by know he’s got to fight #he’s used to it #resigned to it #and he’ll do it with a smile #until bucky#that’s what breaks him #that’s the one thing that can completely undo him #and he doesn’t know yet #oh god he doesn’t know #steve rogers #walking wounded steve rogers #this movie fucked me up #tws (X)
#these movies get the spirit of what makes cap interesting#and ultimately really damn depressing#because steve’s better than the world around him#and while that’s inspiring and empowering for the people who work with him#and important to the people who look up to him as an icon#and who look to captain america when things are most hopeless#it’s taking pieces out of steve#he signed up to just be one soldier#not a savior#and he keeps dying for his country#and they keep bringing him back to do it again tags via (linzeestyle)
Reblogging this for the excellent comment. Steve Rogers signed up to be one soldier, not a savior. He shoulders the burden, dies and dies again for his country and for the world. And no one sees Steve Rogers. They only see the myth and legend.
^^^^ This. I tell people, if you want to see who Cap is, skip “The Avengers” (good film, not so great for Cap, but then, Joss Whedon never seemed to have a handle on his character) and go right to “The Winter Soldier.” It shows you everything you need to know: his anger, his sarcastic sense of humor, his determination to do the right thing no matter what it costs him, his sense of loss and disconnection…and his heartbreak, when he realizes who the Winter Soldier actually is.
