10 Fondue Is Just Cheese And Bread, My Friend

The MCU continued to find fun and interesting ways to stay connected, even when the stories were set decades apart. One of the fun inclusions in this film is young Howard Stark who plays a role in the origins of Captain America.

Howard is also a funny romantic rival of sorts for Steve as he mistakes their talk of fondue as something different. It’s a funny moment that shows, despite the muscles, Steve isn’t that smooth with the ladies. It also shows that Tony is more like his father than he knows.

9 When You Brought A Ninety-Pound Asthmatic Onto My Army Base, I Let It Slide

As Colonel Phillips, Tommy Lee Jones provides some gravitas to the film as well as being the funniest person in the movie. His tough-guy demeanor mixed with his dry wit makes nearly every one of his lines laugh-out-loud hilarious.

As Phillips and Dr. Erskine review the candidates for the super-soldier program, Phillips can’t help but make cracks at the skinny Steve Rogers who is Erskine’s top choice. He even refers to him as a gerbil. Phillips’ gruff demeanor doesn’t lighten up much even when Roger’s packs on the muscle.

8 I Knocked Out Adolf Hitler Over 200 Times

The film cleverly finds a way to get Steve Rogers in that admittedly silly costume. After the super-soldier transformation is a success, Steve is used as a USO performer to raise money for the war effort. The show includes song, dance, and Steve knocking out a fake Hitler.

When Steve gets a glimpse at the real war, he realizes he cannot be a performer anymore and tries to rescue some captures soldiers. When they question if he really has what it takes to fight off the real bad guys, Steve responds “I knocked out Adolf Hitler over 200 times.”

7 Hail Hydra!

Along with being the movie serving as the origin story for Captain America, it also provides the origins of Hydra, the evil organization Cap finds himself fighting for years to come. Led by the madman, Johann Schmidt aka Red Skull, this secret organization working with the Nazis.

Red Skull shows himself to be far more than Hitler’s lackey as he makes his own plans for world domination. He amasses a strong following that show their allegiance through the salute “Hail Hydra” which comes back into play in the future of the MCU.

6 The Little Guy From Brooklyn Who Was Too Dumb Not To Run Away From A Fight. I’m Following Him

The movie has the challenge of establishing several very important relationships in Steve’s life, including with his childhood friend Bucky Barnes. Fans see that bond between them immediately as Bucky is always ready to stick up for Steve.

When Steve becomes Captain America, he is the one saving his buddy from danger. As they prepare to go off into battle, Steve asks Bucky if he’s ready to follow Captain America. But Bucky assures him he’s just following his friend. It says a lot about their friendship.

5 I Have Seen The Future, Captain! There Are No Flags!

Red Skull is an iconic villain from the comics so it is a shame that he didn’t get more to do in the MCU. Hugo Weaving gives a solid performance in the role, but he comes off as a pretty generic villain for the most part.

However, with one line near the climax of the film, some context is given to Red Skull and how he sees the world. He envisions a world in which nations do not exist and the entire world is under one rule. It’s is madness, sure, but it is an interesting outlook at least.

4 I Don’t Want To Kill Anyone. I Don’t Like Bullies

So much of what makes Captain America an endearing hero is that he will never back down from a fight, but he also doesn’t go looking for one. When Dr. Erskine is looking for the right man for the super-soldier program, he is intrigued by the skinny young man desperate to enlist.

Erskine tries to see what kind of man he’s dealing with by asking Steve if he wants to go kill Nazis. Steve truthfully says he just doesn’t like bullies, no matter where they are from.

3 Not A Perfect Soldier, But A Good Man

The beauty of Captain America as a hero is that the muscles and strength were given to him, but everything that made him a noble man was already there. He is special because he is a good person, not because he is the strongest one in the fight.

Erskine recognizes that in Steve and encourages him to hold onto that part of him even after he becomes Captain America. Erskine did not choose him because he was the best soldier, but best he was the best man. This aspect of Steve’s character has remained throughout the MCU.

2 I Had A Date

Another vital relationship in Steve’s story that is introduced in this film is his romance with Peggy Carter. Like Bucky, Peggy sees something in Steve before he is a super-soldier. They share a connection, but their life together was robbed from them.

As Steve prepares to crash the plane carrying the bombs, he and Peggy make plans for the date they know they won’t get to have. When Steve finds himself waking up in the 21st Century, his first thought is of Peggy. He never did stop thinking of that date.

1 I Could Do This All Day

Throughout the MCU, fans have seen Cap in a lot of fights and facing off with a lot of enemies. Sometimes he finds himself outmatched, but he always fights on. This movie shows that his never-quit attitude is not part of the super-soldier serum, but just the kind of guy Steve Rogers is.

As he’s getting beaten up in an ally by a bully, Steve refuses to give up, saying “I could do this all day.” It becomes something of a mantra for him as regardless of the fight he is up against, Steve will always get back on his feet.
