cpt america: winter soldier

[rmd]

A solidly fun action movie. But... oh, but...

... for one brief awesome moment, I thought we were getting break-out badassery from Jenny Agutter, because in SHIELD even old ladies can kick ass.
I mean, Black Widow doing what she does best is fine and all, but I hadn't realized I wanted ass-kicking Jenny Agutter until I nearly got it.

Yup.

We apparently had nearly identical reactions to that bit. It would have been a better movie.

Everyone I've seen the movie with has said the same thing. (I've seen it three times.)

I wanted that too. I would have been happier if Natasha had disguised herself as the a French guy or something.

Then we could have the two of them kicking ass and a nod of respect between the two women as the last thug falls and Natasha pulls off the fake face. Plus Natasha in drag after she drops the disguise.

Every. Single. Person. I know. Had this huge brilliant joyous moment of OH MY GOD YES THANK YOU OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER SHE'S KICKING ASS OH MY GOD OH MY oh. Oh, well, that's okay too, but...oh.

YES!

I totally thought we were going to see something like what Helen Mirren did in RED.

clauclauclaudia and I were tightly gripping each other's hands in squee and then ... slumped.

(my headcanon went to a place where she had been mentored by Peggy wossname and they two of them had cold-war era adventures as SHIELD agents of doom or something. Because I assume you have to be badassed if you end up as Nick Fury's *boss*.)
