Nick frames this as a gift. Cap experiences it the way a reasonable person experiences being shown a gun pointed at the entire world. The central ideological conflict of the film is now fully on the table, and it only took seventeen minutes to get here.\nThen Steve gets on his motorcycle and drives to a museum, which is either a perfectly logical response to an existential crisis or the most Captain America thing that has ever happened.\nThe Smithsonian's Captain America exhibit — shot at the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland, because apparently Cleveland contains multitudes — gives the film an excuse to reintroduce the Howling Commandos, hang a very large flag on the name Bucky Barnes, and sneak in a Hayley Atwell appearance that Pete only sorta did not see coming.\nKyle and Pete spend considerable time on the exhibit's mural (Ryan Meinerding, head of Marvel visual development, had to teach himself to fake brushstrokes), Chris Evans' physical transformation into Cap versus literally every other role he's ever played, and the Russo Brothers' increasingly rare gift for restraint.\nAlong the way: the Quinjet's 1968 comics debut, the question of how much Tony Stark actually knew about what his engines were powering, a spirited defense of X-Men leather uniforms, the Infinity Formula, and Gary Sinise — who Pete Wright will go to bat for at any moment, unprompted, with conviction.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/JlOjETb_he-Cl9RIo-EmPIK5n5bllZ_Q1aRAfBGlSIE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iMzBi/NWYzMjA0MzBiNTQy/ODhhODNmNGEzNjVj/OTFiYi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
