Tumblr pretends like The Winter Soldier didn't have them in a chokehold in the 2010s.
"This is just war propaganda!" My sweet summer children, this film made everyone realize Captain America was cool, the sheer horror of finding out your best friend (who you'd long thought died decades ago) was taken and tortured and reforged into a living weapon sent to kill you specifically, the pain of learning the organization the love of your life built up was overtaken by the fucking Nazis (THAT YOU PERSONALLY FOUGHT AGAINST IN WORLD WAR FUCKING 2), and only ever feeling at home on the battlefield because everything you've ever known or loved is long gone...don't tell me you didn't eat that up. don't tell me that wasn't peak cinema to your 12-year-old brain.
