captain america: the first avenger, completely random posts, iron man, marvel, rambling musings, randomness, stuff i notice
I just noticed something. But rather than tell you, I think I’ll show you:
Okay? You know who those guys are, right? Well, if you were paying attention in Iron Man (and even if you weren’t while watching Captain America: The First Avenger), you’d know that the first one is Dr. Yinsen, incidentally the guy who saves Tony Stark’s life in the first couple minutes of the movie and helps him ultimately escape (oh, did I forget to say “spoiler alert?” Whoopsie…), and the second one is Dr. Abraham Erskine, the man who created the supersoldier serum and who was instrumental in making Steve Rogers into a superhero.
What the flaming kerfuffle, Marvel?
I’m noticing a pattern here. Scientist person. Key to the early character development/hero’s journey of the central character. Gunned down early in the film.
The guy with the glasses always dies. (Except for Brucie, but he’s a central character. He doesn’t count.)
I hope this isn’t a pattern. I was enjoying the feeling that Marvel movies were unpredictable.
Ladies and gentlemen: legitimate Red Shirt of the Marvelverse. The guy with the glasses.
(And now that I’ve, hopefully, made you laugh, here’s something I found while out browsing the web that hit me right in the feels.)

These guys are going to be in SO MUCH TROUBLE when SHIELD finds out that Steve was actually aware of them the entire time. It was in the flashback–he remembers it! *cries* Poor guy… *sobs wildly*
*cries* No. Just… no.
He froze to death and he remembers it.
People, that’s just too much… *goes to cry in a shrubbery*
I think Steve is a robot, so he probably didn’t feel a thing.
*head desk* He is NOT a robot. He’s a human being who is just a little bit out of the ordinary, and he has emotions and inner conflict the same as any other human.
I still think he could have gotten out of the plane in time. (I’ve only seen the way end of the movie.)
Perhaps. I think he was just trying to make absolutely sure that everyone would be safe. And maybe he could have gotten out of the plane, but he knew he wouldn’t survive in the ice. Either way, it makes me cry…
But he was sorta revived!
True. He’s still human, though.
I think you think everybody’s a robot.
Erin, formatting error under the last picture? Your text has squished itself impossibly small.
No, it’s actually an image. Click on it to zoom in. (It was a screenshot off someone’s tumblr and I think I found it on Pinterest… I don’t recall…)
