Damn! I'm impressed, I don't have the stamina for that. It's been awhile before I've watched anything this way, but I do love a good marathon. And it's a really useful tool to make more interesting things that you'd otherwise be meh about or where you need to get through a lot of mediocre stuff to get to what you want to watch.
I hope you do a thumbs-up/thumbs-down for the whole set at the end - I'm curious to know if there's any other good ones I'm missing. That's not a bad idea. Though I'm feeding my reactions to elisi down below if you're curious in the meantime.
That was how I felt as well! Although, perhaps unsurprisingly, I found that fic has explored the universe and thematic potential of Winter Soldier way better than canon did. I can totally believe that. I am setting my expectations low here because I am 100% a tv over movies person. It's hard not to feel that movies are hopelessly lacking in this department when you're acclimated to how tv storytelling works.
I thought the movie generally did a good job at portraying interesting and complex relationships even with limited screentime. I liked what they did with Natasha & Fury's relationship, Steve & Peggy's, Nick & Fury's, and Sam & Steve's. That is very true. The whole thing had, like, this quiet weight to it from all of these surprisingly satisfying relationships.
