I think Fury is a clone and we actually did see one of his clones die in the car with the hospital bound Fury either being the original fury or a fresh clone. The idea of cloning is being toyed with in the agents of SHIELD show and I think the whole thing will lead nicely into an adaptation of the civil war story arc in phase 3.

I'll agree the Nick Fury car chase was the best part of the movie but that's still not saying much. For one thing, if the goal of the goons was to kill Nick Fury, why did they waste their time shooting a bulletproof car for 5 minutes only to then waste even more time by setting up an anchored hydraulic ramming machine (that somehow still didn't break the glass) which let him get away, only for The Wintet Soldier to somehow get in front of Fury and use a simple explosive device to blow up the car. So why didn't the goons just blow the car up in the first place? Of course stupid fan boys will use the excuse it's just a movie and otherwise they wouldn't have the cool car chase but that's a lazy excuse.

Um, the Black Panther was the first modern black super hero, not Falcon. Although as part of Captain America and The Falcon he was the first to have his name on a monthly series.

Armin Zola read off Black Widow's birth year as 1984, so she can't have been living for decades due to an Infinity serum. Unless her past is so secret, even SHIELD didn't know about it…

I agree that if a tag impacts the story, that particular story, then put it in the actual film.
As for tone, that's shit when it comes to Thor 2's supposedly awkward, goofy tag.
That movie featured Kat Dennings trying to act quirky with nothing but quips in her back pocket and a naked Skarsgard. I don't think a scene with a upcoming 70s David Bowie looking character baddie is far of a stretch in tone from the rest of the movie.

'the idea that in response to an extra-terrestrial attack a government would be able to sell its population on increased internal (on-planet) surveillance seems kind of odd.'

Substitute ET for 9/11 and you will see that it isn't so odd.

What's this about diversity now? Man, some commenter with a dumb Toy Story/StarCraft mash-up name must've written about that in the comments for another article…

Wait, "progressive idea of America" = "far from being a government lackey/mouthpiece for the machinery of power"?? progressivism is 100% statist pro-government machine.

Just pointing out that Frank Grillo played the supervillian Crossbones, a very major Captain American enemy and he will definitely have a bigger role to play in the future

WTF did I just read here :

"…The Evolution of Captain America's Patriotism
With 'The First Avenger' getting to play in period territory in delivering the Captain's origin story, and "The Avengers" being part of a team up in which the interplay between the characters was more important than any one of their stories, the real proof of whether Captain America could survive his own franchise was with this sequel"

Is it supposed to be a heading followed by a sentence? If this is the case, what on earth is being said in the sentence?

Sorry, but I felt like Widow was a weak part of the film…….
Felt like a robot everytime she talked and what she said most the time was irrelevant.

are you JOKING ME?!!! Bucky's arc, while woefully underdeveloped in the movie ("hey let's see what's going on with those drone-planes!") was incredibly sad, heart-wrenching, and well-acted. That B-plot was easily the most exciting and successful part of the movie, and Sebastian Stan brought a sort of bewildered loneliness to the role of terminator-killer-dude. I can't believe what I just read.

You liked the car chase scene? That was so boring and derivative! Why do people even make car chase scenes these days?!!

I liked the computer Zola, it was a nod to the pulp that worked in the first movie. They had to replace the guidance chips on the Hellicarriers(one of which seemed to be commanded by Grand Moth Tarken) to get control of their weapons systems. That was pretty easy to follow and a huge step up from whatever the heck was going on in the dark in Iron Man 3. The carriers make for better "stand off weapons" then drones. The action ratio seemed fine but that may be because I'm used to Michael Bay levels of insanity, this seemed just right. The highway overpass scene was the best action sequence in any Marvel movie. I was pleased with everything EXCEPT the Black Widow hearing at the end. Not sure what she was saying about wrecking the world but being the right ones to rebuild it.

I feel like ya\’ll are just reaching for stuff to hate on. The only \’bad\’ thing that you pointed out, and I agree on, is Zola\’s little appearance. Otherwise, it\’s just a little forced.

I'm not sure if I'm just missing a joke, but that isn't Larry Sanders. That's Garry Shandling.

About the "bad" things listed above: The writers of the article seem to forget it's a comic book. And everything they listed are just standards of the medium. Captain America 2 is a classic comic book film. It's up there with the 1989 Batman, the Dark Knight, Avengers, Iron Man 1, the 1st Sam Raimi Spiderman, those kind of films. I thought Marvel made a bad decision picking "the guys who did Community" to make a Captain America movie but they clearly have a respect and love for the comic itself. Like how he emphasizes putting on the suit at the end. That's beautiful. I was sick of seeing superhero movies where the last fight was the hero with his suit destroyed and his face showing. The action scenes were beautifully shot. Nice wide angles so you can see the action. Almost like a Hong Kong film.

But I'll never forgive these movies for eliminating the original Bucky.

"The Largely Incomprehensible Third Act" paragraph reads like it was written by someone who didn't pay attention during the first two acts.

Very good article. While I enjoyed the movie for what it did right (solid action, Cap and Black Widow's characters were handled well), it had some glaring problems that you addressed here. The fanboys who are decreeing this "the best Marvel movie ever made" are simply not being objective. That designation still belongs to Iron Man 1 or The Avengers.
