Work, please stop interrupting my effusive, ebullient, EMOTIONAL ramblings about Captain America: The Winter Soldier! I woke up TWO HOURS EARLY this morning BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT (hence the super early post from earlier). So uh, there is a lot of flaily capslock under the cut that nobody else is going to be able to enjoy until

I do feel for having the tag 'The Winter Soldier' there was surprisingly little Winter Soldier in the film
He wasn't in it much, but I thought his absence/presence loomed large over it, especially knowing who he was while Steve didn't. Also, that final post credits scene! MY HEART.
We were talking about the Natasha and Bucky backstory (because they gave a date of birth for her too) and figured it'd probably be really easy to retcon that to the Red Room if you wanted just because of the memory wipe thing. But at the same time it does make the possibility of a Black Widow movie harder if that was the story they were going to tell.
Yeah, though I think they could also do a Natasha v. Yelena Black Widow movie, or the Name of the Rose (though without the WWII background, I guess), or in fact that date is just a cover, and even Natasha doesn't know the truth. I would totally watch a Black Widow movie where she tries to find out about her own past because it's been taken from her.
What I really need is for someone to analyse all the names on the kill list, because Claire (who I was watching this with) did not think that the New York name was Stark (she says it looked like too long a surname).
Banner, maybe?
Incidentally - Maria at Stark Industries - taking over the world with Pepper or weeding out Hydra agents?
Both! God, I am just enjoying how ANNOYED Tony is going to be to have Maria Hill around all the time. Ha!
