I was looking through a bunch of gifs for a reblog and I never noticed how similar these two scenes were:

HMMMMMMMMMM

I know I'm very late to the party and this is old news that others have probably already pointed out but I just watched Ant Man for the first time and wow. The very first scene you have Howard Stark/SHIELD(Hydra) being confronted by Hank Pym, whose research they stole. Peggy didn't look completely surprised by it either lol. And they were working directly with Mitchell Carson, the head of defense at SHIELD, who after leaving SHIELD spent his time "toppling governments" and was later revealed to be Hydra 🤦 luckily they never got the Ant Man suit technology before Hank left, but wow. Hydra was never just working on little side projects, they were working with the SHIELD founders in the very heart of SHIELD 🙃 which means (as other people have pointed out) that SHIELD and Hydra's interests were so aligned that they were virtually indistinguishable. (Not too surprising, since they started out by recruiting ex-Nazis 🙃🙃🙃) There are only so many times you can use the "for the greater good" excuse before you need to step back and do some deep self reflection on how your ideals align with those of Nazi eugenicists. (And the good folks at Marvel think Steve would be okay with that?? To spend his life with Peggy and support this, her life's work???)

It makes me wonder how long Zola had to work at it before Howard and Peggy trusted him entirely. Enough for Howard to have a nickname for him and for SHIELD to build a secret lair and allocate who knows how much money for his brain. If they didn't have any idea of Hydra in their midst, they were grossly incompetent, and if they had some idea they either kept their heads down or continued to be hoodwinked, which isn't a great look either. And if they knew and were in on it, then well... 😬

The entire Yellow Jacket presentation was right out of the Hydra playbook, too. These people were literally everywhere. They should have chosen the cockroach as their symbol for how tenacious they were. And they were willing to fork over billions of dollars, only one year after Steve and co toppled SHIELD, to get the Yellow Jacket suit.

Steve's work wasn't done! Where did they get this money? Who else in the government and private sector is part of Hydra? *cough*Ross*coughcough* Captain America 3 should have been Team Cap trying to root out the rest of these assholes, not whatever the hell Civil War was. Anyway 🤦

hey! just saw your tag 'use it over and over enough and it'll dilute all the meaning it had in tws' - i might have missed this detail, what meaning did it have in tws?

(Referencing this post) Ah, that was my tag being salty about how Marvel/Disney apparently used the song "It's Been a Long, Long Time" in the Loki show, after using it in Endgame (when imposter!Steve danced with Peggy), after first using it in The Winter Soldier.

The first time we hear the song, it is playing in Steve's livingroom, where Nick Fury is battered and bleeding from tangling with Hydra and the Winter Soldier, right before Steve confronts the Winter Soldier, who was Bucky all along. These lyrics play before Bucky shoots Fury through the wall--

Never thought that you would be, standing here so close to me, there's so much I feel that I should say...

Then Bucky shoots Fury and Steve goes after him.

If you read the rest of the lyrics, the song goes--

But words can wait until some other day

Kiss me once, then kiss me twice

Then kiss me once again

It’s been a long, long time

Haven't felt like this, my dear

Since I can't remember when

It’s been a long, long time

You'll never know how many dreams

I've dreamed about you

Or just how empty they all seemed without you

So kiss me once, then kiss me twice

Then kiss me once again

It's been a long, long time

Who else could It's been a long, long time be referring to but Bucky, who Steve has been separated from for 70 years? How many dreams do you think Steve had of Bucky dying (after he followed Steve back into war, when Steve asked him)?

Because the song played right before Steve and Bucky's reunion, and because it is overtly romantic, it was generally regarded as a stucky song... until Marvel shoehorned it into Steve and Peggy's dance in Endgame ;) and the more they use it for other shows and movies, the less significant it will be for mainstream viewers who haven't watched The Winter Soldier and are less/not invested in Steve and Bucky's relationship. If they keep using it, maybe it will just become the song that Marvel trots out whenever they want us to feel maudlin/nostalgic.

I am sure that much more eloquent meta has been written about this song and its significance in The Winter Soldier, so if anyone has any links, it would be appreciated.

GUYS PLEASE WATCH THESE CLIPS OF STEVE SAVING BUCKY THAT FRANKLY WE ALL DESERVE IN 2021

It’s from the Marvel Future Revolution game, a longer video of which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5TijaelpVE

Some favorite moments:

- Steve storming the Hydra base, bashing his way through dozens of Hydra goons, including giant robots, and beating up the Red Skull, BY HIMSELF. This dude left all his chill in the ice and never looked back

- Hydra LITERALLY DANGLING BUCKY in front of Steve

- No but Hydra really set up this whole thing, hoisting Bucky up in chains of electricity with a death ray pointed at him, all to lure Steve in. Have they been reading TV Tropes??

- THE SWEEPING, HEROIC MUSIC

- The way Steve just stops and stares at Bucky for a moment before the Red Skull interrupts 🥺

- The Red Skull screaming “KNEEL, DOG!” Very egomaniacal fascist villain of him, I approve.

- The Red Skull’s villainous gloating, “YOU ARE TOO LATE, CAPTAIN,” classic

- Steve screaming “BUCKY!!” right before he launches himself between Bucky and the freaking DEATH RAY

- Bucky being very cool like “Thanks Steve 🥺 yeah I’m fine 🥺🥺 no big deal just another Tuesday 🥺 let’s go after Red Skull”

Other thoughts:

- Apparently Hydra has taken over the United States (Hydramerica) and the Red Skull of course raised a statue of himself in New York??

- The Red Skull’s entrance, with the strut and the pan up his black leather pants and Hydra belt– UM WAS THIS REALLY NECESSARY

- Steve has a move where he leaps into the air and slams the shield into the ground with such speed and force that it CRACKS THE GROUND INTO MOLTEN FISSURES

Thank you @jro616 for linking me to the glorious twitter post that brought this game to my attention in the first place XD

My dream after credits scene when TFATWS is over:

Bucky is sitting alone on a bench. Someone comes up behind him.

"I looked for you," they say.

"Yeah, I know, sorry, it's been... busy," Bucky says.

"I can see that."

Silence. Bucky sighs. "I know what you're gonna say."

The voice sounds warmly amused. "It'll be fun. We can put the couch cushions on the floor again. You won't even need to take out the trash." A large, gentle hand squeezes Bucky's shoulder.

"Come on, Buck."

And Bucky looks up, giving Steve a wry smile.
