Captain America: The First Avenger

For this passion blog I will be taking on the Marvel movies in chronological order as they are listed on Disney+ (I know not all of the movies are on there but my friends said the ones that are missing are not ones worth watching anyway). I got to watch this movie on my own and it is actually the first Marvel movie I have ever seen. However, when I was younger I remember my friend being extremely obsessed with the Captain America series and always rambling on about it.

For my first ever Marvel movie, I found it interesting. I enjoyed the storyline about how the soldier who received the serum was not the one who was the strongest but the one who was the kindest. Also, the extremely prevalent themes of the importance of friendship and loyalty really stood out to me as well. Especially when Captain America left his easy job to go save his friend from being a prisoner of war. This movie did make me wonder though if the storyline of the Marvel Universe was about the protection of those in America or what the overarching storyline is because I do know from movie ads that there are other worlds within the universe, so I am excited to see how this plays out.

I was also left wondering if Bucky will be coming back after unfortunately falling off the train and how that will work within the timeline. My favorite part I do have to was the hidden clip at the end of the movie that hinted towards how the plot line would progress.

The next movie that I have to watch according to Disney+ is Captain Marvel. I truly do not have any predictions for this movie given that I have never heard of Captain Marvel before and I am wondering if she plays an integral part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. My mom is coming up to State College for my birthday weekend so I am hoping that I will get to watch this movie with her and provide double the insight in the next post!
