I wonder if they’ll bring Bucky back for a sequel. It would be awesome if they eventually did something written by Brubaker, who’s managed to make Cap my favorite Marvel hero.
I just got the movie on blu-ray last week and all through the movie I kept thinking “Man, Hydra has one helluva good HR department that they can manage to find and hire these tens of thousands of ridiculously loyal people in the middle of a war!”
I also kept wondering why Cap’s group wasn’t armed to the teeth with those super weapons. They must’ve captured a lot of them, why the blazes aren’t they keeping them?
The superweapons are charged from the original Cube. Presumably they eventually run dry, and need to be recharged, which the Allies can’t do. They might even gradually lose charge in storage, enough that they can’t practically be used beyond the mission they’re captured.
As an incidental note, I’d’a thought the German word for ‘autopilot’ was Ottopilot.
Yeah, I just took the disintegration scene as a short hand for, “Red Skull has a plan to deal with the Nazis, here’s the first part of it.” We don’t really need to know what the rest of the plan was, because the movie isn’t about how the Nazis fight the Red Skull. It can be assumed that Red Skull has it handled.
