but how much do i love that in the closing scene of ca:tws, steve is looking at the winter soldier’s file and there’s a faded photograph of bucky barnes in his army uniform, bright and reckless, before his horrific transformation

how much do i love that it’s a direct mirror image of the shot of peggy carter at the end of ca:tfa, where she is looking at captain america’s file and there’s a photograph of steve rogers in fatigues, determined and skinny, before his miraculous transformation —ladyspies

I was thinking on the list of Steve’s illnesses when I was re-watching (for reference, because I do that a lot), and I couldn’t help noticing that when he’s still tiny Steve, you can hear the wheeze and sputter in his breathing, specifically sinus-related congestion. And it’s not just done by the breathing: Chris Evans manages to work it into the way he speaks, so it’s natural.

It’s such a little thing to incorporate into a character, but it’s there and it adds layers, driving home the point that Steve is genuinely not a healthy puppy before all this happens.

I really noticed it when he’s with Peggy in the car (“I think this is the longest conversation I’ve had with one”) and with Erskine (“it’s a little big”), just before the procedure.

And immediately after the procedure, the first thing he’s doing is taking big breaths of air, in a way he hasn’t been able to his whole life. It’s a very subtle thing, but I really like it.
