So apparently The Winter Soldier is a pretty COOL [Superhero Movie]

Superhero movies are primarily about good dudes punching bad dudes.
Take, for example, Captain America 2, opening on a whole bunch of different release dates, but relatively soon no matter where you live.

It stars Chris Evans as Captain America, a dude who punches dudes with his fists and a shield.
It also starts Scarlett Johansson as recurring character Black Widow, who punches dudes with her fists, bullets, and sometimes some sort of wrist-taser.
New to the cast is Anthony Mackie, aka Falcon, who punches dudes with bullets while flying. KA-CAW, etc.
After that comes a movie which may have too many dudes punching dudes (if such a thing can even be achieved), X-Men: Days of Future Past.

In it, every X-Men character you've ever cared about is returning for, presumably, a five minute scene each so we can get back to watching Wolverine do more things.
And then, later this year will be Guardians of the Galaxy!

This stars Chris Pratt as Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, a dude who specializes in Han Solo impressions and punching dudes.
It co-stars Batista as a giant green dude who punches dudes named Drax, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, an olive green alien lady-dude who punches dudes, Vin Diesel playing Groot, a large tree who punches people, and Bradley Cooper playing Rocket Raccoon, a raccoon with attitude who punches dudes with bullets. It also has Glenn Close, Glenn Close's Amazing New Haircut, and John C. Reilly.
Next summer comes Avengers 2: Age of Ultron, the sequel to one of the best-selling dude punching movies of all time.

In it, the cast of the original Avengers reprise their roles, and fight James "lizard king" Spader, who's playing the titular robotic protagonist, Ultron. There aren't many details out right now, except that somehow Hank Pym won't be involved as he was in the comic, and that it's going to introduce Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver into the MCU.
Shortly after Avengers 2 comes Ant-Man, a movie starring Paul Rudd as Scott Lang and the titular Insect-Dude, and Michael Douglas as Hank Pym, the one who, at least in the comics, originally created Ant-Man. It's directed by Edgar Wright, so it's sure to, if nothing else, look really good and be really funny.
And then, on the same day in 2016 comes Captain America 3 and Batman vs Superman. The former was just recently announced, while the latter has a much more detailed, checkered history thus far.
In it, Henry Cavill reprises his role as Superman from 2013's Man of Steel, a movie in which he may have punched dudes too much. Luckily, to balance him out, Ben Affleck is playing a Batman who, if the sources speak true, has retired from punching dudes. It also has Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, and maybe or maybe not Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, May His Punching Remain Ever Entertaining.
The movie was delayed from its original release date due to, reportedly, injuries Ben Affleck sustained on set reasons no one really knows, and was pushed back to the same release date as Marvel's Captain America 3. This marks the first time the two companies have competed on the release date (or at least I assume)
After that come a handful of unannounced superhero movies, including at least two more helpings of Marvel Studio's films, and Fox releasing a Wolverine sequel/X-Men: Apocalypse.
So, SE++, let's talk about punches and the brightly-clad people who deliver them.

I am extremely excited for the punching in Cap 2, and especially Avengers 2.
Good to know, I'll edit the OP!
Steam: Car1gt // Tumblr // Facebook // Twitter
Man that complaint hadn't even occurred to me. I only intend to see one of them anyway.
Yes Banner is a good man and so is the Hulk. He may be a green rage monster who wants to fight but his story-line in Avengers is all about Banner discovering that Hulk can be a force for good. That his natural instinct is the saving of lives.
Its been canon in the Marvel universe that Banner had an anger problem that was released with the Hulk. We don't see Banner pre-Hulking but the whole "I'm always angry" reveal is about Banner admitting that he is an angry man. That the angry is part of him and he has to accept it.

just saw a commercial for Cap 2 in Norway
apparently it's called Captain America: The Return of the First Avenger here?!
Always wondered
Nah. US movies, especially the big summer blockbusters, make big patriotic appeals so often that a guy actually wearing the American flag while he punches villains seems kind of... quaint? It reminds me of my childhood somehow... How was it... Oh wait, I know:
IT DOSENT MATTER IF YOU'VE HEARD
"From the studio that brought you <every mcu movie>
Guardians of the Galaxy
You're Welcome"
Yes. This. This is the actual tag line on the actual poster in actual movie theaters. I have to believe it was originally a joke and some exec somewhere said, "You know what? Fuck it. Let's roll with it. It'll be funny."
Captain America crossed over with The Greatest American Hero?
Disney ought to have the rights, it was on ABC

Been resisting asking The Winter Soldier questions, but have an odd one
how many days would you say the movie covers? A few days, a week?
See it's weird
in a time of very strong anti-Americanism where I am from, you'd have thought that people would hate Cap
but nobody does, because he's not about jingoism or America fuck yeah or any of that. He's a good guy and he's all about trying to help people and there's a lot of respect for that. I think that some people thought that he'd be this propaganda piece, but then the first Cap movie was really popular as people realised that Cap is the opposite of that, it's not about wearing the flag because the flag is inherently great, but wearing the flag and doing good things to make it great.
Whenever I talk to people online from all around the world, comic fans, people always tend to like Cap wherever they are from because of those reasons. They know that Cap is loyal to to the dream, not the reality.
Replace Red Skull with Zemo, have Bucky become involved because Bad Cap is crazy and needs a Bucky
Or you could use Sin instead of Zemo, but she's traditionally a little less...master planner-y.
Nope! If there was it would be in the OP, right?
Not longer than a week. Definitely at least three days. I'd have to watch it again to be sure
lol at "have" to watch Captain America again.
remember when Stacker Pentecost said that he burned for three hours in Coyote Tango, piloting it to fight Onibaba
it's part of why Mako was watching Raleigh through her peephole, besides the obvious female gaze
her father figure had the same scars
