Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

SOME DAY SOON.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Saw it. Loved it.

I think the thing that shocked/upset me most was Sitwell being a Hydra agent. Also, they did a good job of making me feel very sorry for Bucky while still making the Winter Soldier seem very, very dangerous. I LOVED that we got flashbacks to the 1940s, complete with Skinny!Steve.

I thought Evans and Johanssen had excellent chemistry - they played really well off each other. I also thought Evans and Mackie had great chemistry, and I will be VERY DISAPPOINTED if the fic writers do not take immediate and copious advantage of this.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I didn't have your surprise reaction, but the second part of your whitefont, definitely, so very much.

Is it just me, or were you mildly disappointed when Jenny Agutter's character pulled off the mask? I wanted Jenny Agutter to have been kicking that much ass.

Not just you on the mild disappointment. That was a lovely moment, even after I figured out what must be going on.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I just got back from CA:WS. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I want Falcon's flight apparatus and skill set--his flight scenes were some of my favorites. All in all, it was exactly what I was hoping for.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Not just you, Epic.

I decided to see the conveniently scheduled 3D showing after work (so, before catching up on AoS). No regrets, although the 3D part was pretty much unnecessary, I mostly noticed it when it was making fight scenes blurry.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

GUYS. WHAT THE HELL. THIS MOVIE.

Seriously, I have to give HUGE props to Marvel for making it seem like the big secret was Winter Soldier being Bucky, when HOLY SHIT SHIELD IS HYDRA??? I mean, I get that not all of SHIELD was HYDRA, but the extent was bad enough. I never, EVER saw that coming.

I was also mildly disappointed that it wasn't Jenny Agutter's character kicking ass.

Falcon was AWESOME.

I also thought Evans and Mackie had great chemistry, and I will be VERY DISAPPOINTED if the fic writers do not take immediate and copious advantage of this.

I can't hear you over the sound of my search for Cap/Bucky and/or Cap/Winter Soldier fic. I mean, you guys, BUCKY SAVED STEVE. All the feels.

And I can't wait to see what happens to the TV show now. Can it even still be called "Agents of SHIELD"? Because...that's not exactly true anymore, right?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

GUYS. WHAT THE HELL. THIS MOVIE.

I KNOW WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK DID I JUST WATCH.

I think the thing that shocked/upset me most was

I KNOW. I was so sad about that, especially because I'd just watched another one-shot with him in it, and he'd just popped up on S.H.I.E.L.D., and I liked him! Plus, you know, agent of color.

And yes, I believe everyone was mildly disappointed at that thing we're all mildly disappointed at. Heh. But the whole time Steve and Sam and Maria were doing their op, I was wondering where the fuck Natasha was, so that answered that question.

I mostly noticed it when it was making fight scenes blurry.

That's too bad because the fight scenes holy shit. Some amazing stuntmen and stuntwomen in this movie. ALSO I WANT CAP'S SHIELD AND ALSO THE ABILITY TO USE IT LIKE THAT.

Winter Soldier is the most terrifying and effective villain in the MCU because he gives no fucks at all. He is permanently in Attack Mode. Like in any other movie where you'd be asking, "Why doesn't he just do X?" Winter Soldier just fucking does X. He'll rip off Falcon's wing. He'll fucking shoot Cap three or four times who gives a fuck if the movie is called Captain America. He'll shoot Black Widow. HE JUST KEEP SHOOTING AND STABBING.

I never, EVER saw that coming.

And here we were thinking that the big secret they were deflecting attention from was that Alexander Pierce was the Red Skull! What the fucking fuck was that soundtrack shit? Marvel was just fucking with the fans, the way they trolled us with the Mandarin? Goddamn those brilliant fuckers. S.H.I.E.L.D. is overrun with Hydra HOLY SHIT.

And I can't wait to see what happens to the TV show now.

MAYBE IT WILL FINALLY TURN INTO NEXTWAVE. ROGUE S.H.I.E.L.D. AGENTS AHOY.
