Winter Soldier Easter Eggs
Man, Captain America: The Winter Soldier was awesome! If you have any inclination to see what the best Marvel superhero movie put out (not counting The Avengers) looks like, you owe it to yourself to see it.
For those that have, I present some commentary:
First and foremost, my favorite Easter egg/tie-in was when Agent Sitwell name-dropped Stephen Strange, aka Dr Strange, Sorcerer Supreme. Marvel better put him in the MCU soon!
If there was one downside to the film, and by all means that whole thing was brilliant, it was that nobody called Natasha "Black Widow." Not once. They went on at least three missions, and no one called her that despite saying "Cap" and "Falcon."
I also think Falcon should have been wearing a light/sand red shirt instead of the sand green one when he first had his wings. Let's hope once he appears again (not Avengers 2 ) he'll have a touch of red in his uniform.
I'm excited that Fury is going off the grid with, seemingly, Maria Hill in charge. This happens in the comics--he'll just up and secretly disappear leaving Hill or Stark in charge--and I was hoping it would happen soon too in the movies. I suspect he'll make a grand entrance at the end-battle of Avengers 2.
Plenty of wing jokes for Falcon. Ha!
If Cap and Agent 13, as well as Black Widow and Winter Soldier, don't become a thing soon, I'll be disappointed (granted, everyone's always in flux in comic relationships).
I want a Winter Soldier fig in a set. Not an expensive promo like Martian Manhunter. I'm collecting Avengers team members figs after all!
Danny Pudi appearing was fantastic!
More to come...?
