![]() It’s worth noting that Steve had a rebellious streak even during World War II (on full display when he went to rescue the 107th Infantry Regiment from captivity) so it was never exactly about blindly following orders. But he quickly learns that doing so in the 2010s looked very different from doing so in the 1940s. It's just not the same." - Captain America: The Winter SoldierĪs demonstrated by the previous quote, even after Steve wakes up in an unfamiliar time, surrounded by unfamiliar people, his first priority remains fighting for justice. And I thought I could throw myself back in: follow orders, serve. I guess I'm not quite sure what that is anymore. "For as long as I can remember, I just wanted to do what was right.
