Re: Things you liked more than you expected

I LOVE the first Cap movie. I adore well-done period pieces and I really like his origin story. plus he is just so Pure and earnest in his attempts to be the "good man" who stands up for the little guys that I really enjoyed a whole movie all about him. There aren't a whole lot of stories in the modern day that feature a largely morally-uncomplicated protagonist which manage to do it well, without making it a 2D caricature. I like morally complicated characters generally speaking but tbh it gets old having to deal with Discourse and Problematic-ness and Moral Gray Areas every damn time I want a story. And morally uncomplicated characters can be just as complex and interesting as the other kind...it just takes way more skill to make it work.
