Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:

“You can see actually how violent he is with her. Again, it’s a guy who’s dealing with liars, he’s in over his head. Cap is fraying a little bit. You see him going places where he wouldn’t normally go. But also, he is treating her like an equal, both physically and mentally. She’s in Avengers, she’s on the team.”

Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:

“He’s such an earnest character that it’s almost sad to see him be caught in such a modern conspiracy where even Nick Fury was outfought. And Natasha’s line there sort of sums up the situation: everybody in this movie is a liar except for him.”

Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:

“Its the great irony of the movie. Cap gets stuck with Nick Fury’s mission. Its the last thing he wanted. He’s tired of being Fury’s janitor. And that’s all he has for the whole movie.”

the stacker pentecost test: does a person of color in authority tell a white dude to step the fuck off? and does the narrative validate the person of color 10000000000000% for doing so?

Nick Fury shooting Alexander Pierce. I’d say so.

This is mostly just for my reference, and also because I’ve seen some reblog tags from this post which are curious on exactly how old the Avengers are. For clarity’s sake, the ages mentioned here are calculated as of the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (May 2014) and are strictly MCU canon.

A Marvel Cinematic Universe Timeline

=======================================================

1) Nick Fury b. December 21, 1951 (62)

2) Maria Hill b. April 3, 1980 (34)

3) Phil Coulson b. April 2, 1965 (49)

4) Clint Barton b. January 7, 1971 (43)

5) Natasha Romanoff b. November 22, 1984 (29)

6) Tony Stark b. May 29, 1970 (44)

7) Bruce Banner b. December 18, 1969 (44)

8) Steve Rogers b. July 4, 1918 (95, adjusted to 29) ^[1]

9) Sam Wilson N/A

10) Bucky Barnes b. ?? 10, 1922 / 1917 (92 / 97, adjusted to ??) ^[2]

=======================================================

^{[1] Steve crashed the plane and was frozen on May 6, 1945 (26). He regains consciousness on April 24, 2011 which amounted to 66 years. Therefore, his adjusted birth date is July 4, 1984 (1918+66). The Battle of New York is on May 4, 2011, just 10 days after he woke up.}

^{[2] The SHIELD file states Bucky’s birth year as 1922, while the Smithsonian exhibit transcript states it as 1917. The exact birthday month is obstructed / not provided, so I’m defaulting it to January. Also, I haven’t the faintest idea how to adjust his age since he fell on May 5, 1945 (23 / 28), because he would be going in and out of cryo whenever they need the Winter Soldier for the last few decades.}

More good timeline meta. I do find it interesting that they are making Steve and Natasha (and maybe Bucky) age contemporaries.
