The massively cool lady is Maria Hill. She does not have a movie, and AFAIK Winter Soldier is one of her more prominent appearances. Because why devote screentime to women when you can devote it to men? This. >:(
I feel a bit like I have failed you because Winter Soldier is my favorite MCU film other than Black Panther and part of that is because I feel like it has strong arcs not just for Steve but for Natasha and Fury, but I guess I don't really post about fandom here too much. To be fair, I watched it out of sequence and only have a very cursory interest in the MCU. Like, I adore Tony Stark, and I appreciate Loki & Thor (when I can suppress everything I know about Norse mythology, generally anything set in 'Asgard' makes me want to throw stuff at the screen), and I really liked Black panther and Antman is adorbz! But overall it just doesn't really hit those buttons for me. However I can see why you'd like this one - I guess I went into it with the wrong expectations.
So yeah, both Bucky and Pierce's characters are unbelievable, but I interpret them metaphorically - Pierce is who Fury is in danger of becoming, and the Winter Soldier is who Captain America might be if he just followed orders. Nice! That works well. I am guessing it's that kinda thing Civil War explores?
(Also, Bucky gets quite a bit more screen-time in the first Captain America movie. I can see why Steve and Bucky's friendship would feel paper thin if you haven't seen that one, though.) I have seen about 20 minutes of it. All I can really remember is recognising Jenna Coleman. ;)
I forget that Sam has such a relatively small role in this film because I adore him so much. I think it's great that they have this action superhero that's also a mental health counselor, although subsequent movies seem to have disappeared that part of his character entirely. Emotional maturity and emotional vulnerability and empathy are superpowers too! Hear hear!
