I know you said not Marvel, and there is some CGI, but the scene in Captain America:Civil War, when Steve Rogers stops Bucky Barnes from taking off in the helicopter by literally grabbing it and pulling it back towards the landing pad was an absolute masterpiece show of both Cap's physical capability, and mental strength of devotion for his friend 😭👍

Uggghhhhhh. He released his grip on the helipad just so he could flip his hand over, grab the helipad again and really flex his bicep for the camera. Are you kidding me?? Lame.

It's one of the only Marvel movies I've ever seen and I for some reason went to the theaters on Cinco de Mayo to see it with friends when it came out. I literally laughed out loud in the theater.

That’s the thing about being earnest. If the audience is already on board, the moment is awesome. If they’re not, it’s ludicrous.

Speaking only for myself, I love that moment and the blatant over-the-top drama of it.

Up until that moment I was trying to be a team player and was on board. I just have my limits.

Yes it WAS gratuitous...but the musical score that accompanied it was just...just... 😑👌👌

Because he can curl more than he can row at that angle (IE chin-ups are easier than pull-ups).
