Abraham Erskine (played by the perfectly cast Stanley Tucci) implores of Rogers the day before he undergoes the super soldier treatment, "Whatever happens tomorrow you must promise me one thing.

It's also hard to think of a first act of a movie in the MCU that defines a character so perfectly. It's a bit of borderline meta storytelling that works perfectly. Joe Simon and Jack Kirby created the now beloved Marvel character back in 1941 during the war and the brilliance of getting to see that patriotic version of Cap through the same lense people saw him through when he was first created is pretty fantastic. It allows Captain America to populate a world where he truly is something unique, special and occupies a time that his ideals perhaps made the most sense. We get to see a world that isn't filled with superheroes. The fact that director Joe Johnston, who is also terribly underrated, in my humble opinion, and the brass at Marvel decided to make this a WWII period piece couldn't have benefited the movie more.

It's a movie that only gets better with time. However, it feels like The First Avenger gets criminally overlooked by the masses and that's a shame. We've all come to not just love, but adore Chris Evans as Captain America and much of that has to do with the excellent trilogy of movies his character has been privy to outside of The Avengers movies. This is a movie that I feel many could do well to revisit. The First Avenger was the final piece of the puzzle Marvel Studios needed to put in place in order to make The Avengers happen. But first, just to recap, we've covered every single Phase 1 solo movie so far, including Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2 and Thor. If we had to guess, Crystal are working on a new mini campaign for our friendly neighbourhood hero, similar to Black Panther and War for Wakanda.As we soldier on with our journey to Infinity War series, we take a look back at Captain America: The First Avenger, which I'll start talking about by saying this may very well be the most underrated move in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date. What about Spider-Man? There’s no news on the webslinger just yet.

Despite some shortcomings the latest Marvel’s Avengers DLC – War for Wakanda – was a worth diving back into the game for.
