What Your Favourite Marvel Movie Says About You

2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

The Movie: Continuing the trend of awesome Marvel sequels and an aversion to numbered titles, Captain America: Winter Soldier follows the Star-Spangled Avenger as he uncovers a Government conspiracy with a little help from Black Widow and new ally the Falcon. In case audiences didn't make the connection between Winter Soldier and the numerous paranoid thrillers it draws inspiration from, Robert Redford stars as a treacherous agent who attempts to bring S.H.I.E.L.D. down from the inside and remind people he still exists. What It Says About You: You think the Government is out to get you. We never landed on the moon, the War on Terror was a sham and the X-Files is gospel truth. You're happy that the Black Widow was given more screen time, because Lord knows she won't be getting her own movie anytime soon. Every time you take a lift, you now eye the other passengers suspiciously and mentally prepare yourself to kick some ass should they turn out to be double agents setting up an ambush. You subtly wiped away a solitary tear when you thought Nick Fury had died, even though you knew Samuel L. Jackson has signed up for a bajillion more Marvel movies. You're now thinking about growing your hair out like the Winter Soldier, but deep down, you know that's the worst possible choice you could make... but you're going to do it anyway. When people question why Cap hid vital Government secrets in a vending machine, you smile awkwardly to yourself and slowly back away from the conversation. Soundbite: "Did you know that Captain America's list of things to experience in the 21st century changed depending on where the film was shown? Apparently, UK Cap needs to learn about the Beatles, South Korea's Cap wants to see Oldboy and Mexico's Cap is into Shakira. Did you also know that I have a lot of time on my hands?" Favorite Movies: The Conversation (1974), Three Days Of The Condor (1975)
