Oh yeah, it was a great scene, it just probably came out of nowhere that suddenly Steve was privy to the whole murder thing. I think most people likely missed the little reference in the middle of Winter Soldier that showed exactly why he knew.
My only thought about the location text was that it was obvious that some of the film makers are fans of Movie Sins. Most of the location texts had enough information to identify the location, but no additional, redundant information -- "Bucharest" instead of "Bucharest, Romania"; "Queens" instead of Queens, New York; et cetera. This foils a common Movie Sins joke, "London, England in case you confused it with London, Ontario."
Ah! Thank you! That was bugging both Mr. Z and myself. It's been a while since I watched Winter Soldier, so I forgot about that part.
Well, at the time, they thought they had. This was before he was revealed to have faked his death, and it was Hydra assassins who attempted the hit.
That is why in Civil War the first thing Steve said when Tony asked him was "I didn't know it was him." He knew HYDRA killed Tony's father from the encounter with Zola, but he didn't realize till the video that it was Bucky that carried out the hit. He was just as surprised as Tony in that regard.
I remember being surprised during Winter Soldier, but I totally forgot about that until now.
. Glad you brought it up; just another thing I can appreciate in Civil War.But has anyone seen or interacted with someone who said they were confused at the time? Or is this just conjecture we're having? I've read and watched many more reviews than is healthy for a movie I'd already seen out of curiosity for how people were appreciating it (not enough!) and I don't mean just official ones. I'd never heard of someone being confused in that moment until Scythe's post. So again, have you guys encountered this or is it just a thing you're saying could happen, but was set up in a prior movie anyway? Because without that, it's a neat detail that everyone forgot, but wasn't necessarily confused about.
Yes, I've actually seen and heard people being confused as to why Cap knew. And read plenty of reviews as well where people were stumbling on this particular point. When explained the reason, the general reaction was either "Ooooooh, so that was it!" or "uhmm okay, yes that must be it, I guess". They accept it because, well, it is plausible and no other explanation or reasoning is given. But in no way is it straight up proof that this is why Cap knew. All we do is infer and interpret reasons as to how Cap knew (or said that he knew).
And its ability to go from the top of the pole to inside the car and back.
It was December 16, 1991.
That's not just you >_<
Of course RDJ was not that young back in 1991. The actors age does not automatically mean the characters age. That is why you have someone like Peter Parker as a high school kid played by a near 30 year old Andrew Garfield. I mean, go back and watch Ant-Man, how old would you say Scott Lang is? 35? Paul Rudd is in his late 40s getting close to 50 years old. The flashback was of Tony Stark back in 1991, not RDJ.
You mean in 1991, or in this movie?
You know with that Inhuman menace and Hives return, it might have been nice if Nick gave back the Hellicarrier that Coulson was building and hiding for him back in Season 2. THANKS A LOT NICK!
