^^^ Me, after watching the TV spot for Captain America: Civil War last night before the Super Bowl.  (Can I get a witness, [livejournal.com profile] mrowe ???? Everything kinda hurts right now. *sigh*)

Oh my goodness, I feel so absolutely remiss! I was just merrily going along thinking you'd seen ALL the movies. Okay then, here's the must-sees for Steve Rogers, in order:

Captain America: The First Avenger
Marvel's The Avengers
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
And of course Age of Ultron, which you've seen.

You can hopefully pick up any of those three used for not a lot of money?

If you're feeling like you have all kinds of time and money, here's the entire list of Marvel movies, in chronological order:

Phase One:
Iron Man (2008)
The Incredible Hulk (2008... though frankly, I wouldn't bother unless you're a diehard Hulk fan)
Iron Man 2 (2010)
Thor (2011)
Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
Marvel's The Avengers (2012)

Phase Two:
Iron Man 3 (2013)
Thor: The Dark World (2013)
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
The Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
Ant-man (2015)

The new Captain America: Civil War will start Phase 3, and according to Anthony Mackie, who plays The Falcon, the fans are not emotionally prepared for it. Yikes.

All of the movies are terrific fun, each having it's own sort of spin (for example, Winter Soldier is a spy thriller; Ant-man is a fun heist film), and each, erm, famous for including at least one shirtless hunk shot. *g* And they ALL have mid-credit and post-credit scenes, most of which hint at what's coming next.

Also, here's skinny, pre-serum Steve Rogers, bless him:



He's just so doggone feisty and cute, like a chihuahua who's all growl and fight and has no idea how small he is. He has a laundry list of health problems longer than yours, you dear thing. I do hope all your upcoming surgeries go well. Such a worry!

(Fun fact about "skinny Steve" - Chris Evans didn't have a hope of ever getting THAT skinny, nor that short, so they digitally 'shrunk' him, plus had a "skinny Steve" body double. There's some excellent behind-the-scenes extras that came with the Blu-ray DVDs but you can see them online. Here's the one of them making him skinny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA5NxSs7WUo)

One last fun bit: a clever artist did a rendering of how pre-serum Steve Rogers looks against how he looked after the scientists were done with him: http://pre07.deviantart.net/c26f/th/pre/i/2015/118/6/4/captain_america__1_by_crymeouts-d7rk0yz.png
