A spoiler free cogitation on Captain America
Yes, I finally saw Captain America. This gives me a legit occasion to utter one of my favorite things:
HAIL HYDRA!
I squeed and squeed.
HOWEVER. Before I saw the film, I was having a reasonable discussion with Eric Trautmann, asking him what he thought of the film because I hold his opinions in high regard - yes, I'm naming names - and he warned me to watch out for an enjoyable Easter egg in the film during the World's Fair scene.
I was so busy frantically looking at the borders of the screen during the World's Fair part of the film, looking for the Easter egg, that I missed the Easter Egg entirely. The fact that it was one of my favorite Marvel characters makes me hang my head in shame and the fact that it was front and center makes me headdesk repeatedly.
And the scene after the credits? More squeeage, but also umbrage that Black Widow is apparently a gentleman.
Detailed review of the film to follow tomorrow. Shield fu galore!
