Y’know what amuses me about all of these kinds of scenes? When Steve is wearing that uniform in the film, he’s playing Captain Showreel. He’s playing the legend these kids grew up with. He’s seen what it does to Coulson. He knows lower-down operatives would probably be of a similar mindset. So he treats them like the kids who used to chase him for autographs.

They see the suit. They don’t see the irate, PTSD-suffering 25 year old behind it.

steve + grief

Powerful.  Heartbreaking.  The sniffle that launched a hundred thousand fan stories …

Can we talk about how important it is that Steve Rogers, who embodies the idealistic masculine image, is open about his grief though?

Can I just talk about that last gif? In the commentary track, Joe Johnson said that they filmed this take first, then called Chris back for a reshoot where he was more stoic. They ended up going back to this version because of the strength of Chris’s performance and the emotion was a much better fit. As a result we have an amazingly beautiful emotional beat between Peggy and Steve, but we also actually get to feel Steve’s grief for his friend rather than it just being automatically transformed into righteous asskicking and gunfire.
