1941 The Human Torch
Johann Schmidt, a high ranking nazi science officer is menacingly threatening Dr Abraham Erskine as they are not making enough progress with their formula. Erskine is reluctant as he knows what Schmidt will use it for. Several Nazi soldiers and prisoners have died after being used as guinea pigs by Schmidt.
Schmidt wants to find another scientist and decides to activate his American sleeper agent to find one.
Dr Phineas Horton and his assistants (Fred Raymond and James Bradley) demonstrate his "synthetic man" at the first Stark Expo. He takes a volunteer from the audience, Jim Hammond (a US soldier in uniform, volunteered by his date) and uses his brainwaves to make the android move and talk. People think it's just a stunt until it bursts into flames. People leave shocked.
Howard Stark is interested and starts to talk to Horton but we don't really hear their conversation as we focus on Jim leaving with his date, Julia Koenig.
Jim is moved out to Hawaii at Pearl Harbor.
He has made friends with Willie Lohmer, son of German emigres, who is conflicted about the prospect of the US going to war in Europe. They take tea in the Lotus Café and have clearly done this regularly as they banter with Lady Lotus. She subtly uses her secret psychic powers to stop an argument that was threatening to turn violent after Willie was overheard sympathising with the Nazi cause, with Jim vehemently disagreeing along with other American patrons. Lady Lotus says "stupid Americans" (baka Amerikajin?) back in the kitchen.
After the two go back to base, still in a heated argument about what was going on in Europe, the Japanese attack, seemingly killing Willie and the next hit takes out Jim. (This seems like a long preamble but each scene could be done in 5-10 minutes)
He wakes up in a private room in the Stark mansion. Stark refers to Horton here as "Doctor", so Jim asks when he can go home from the hospital. They gently try to explain that he is not Jim Hammond, he is an android (Horton's newest model), and they were not expecting him to have Jim's memories.
Jim thinks it's a prank, he laughs. They persist, he gets angry, creating a surge of energy and flames up.
Horrified, he runs. His super strength and flaming body, which he doesn't know how to control leave a trail of destruction. Howard and Horton eventually catch up with him standing outside Julia's house, his last memory before going to war, and they talk him down. We see Julia see all this through the window. She makes a phone call saying she has found something interesting.
Underneath his synthetic skin he is red, just like Vision will be in the future. He does not look like the actor playing original Jim, he is Paul Bettany obvs.
Back at the mansion Agent Flynn of the Strategic Scientific Reserve says this synthetic man, a walking torch, is a great danger to society and must be contained.
Jim, Howard and Horton comply, planning to encase him in an airtight container surrounded by concrete. Jim is worried about breathing and eating, Horton reminds him he is an android and doesn't need to breathe and he is powered by the sun (although he can eat, it all gets converted into energy).
Jim: What will happen?
Horton: It will be just like falling asleep.
Howard: We'll be working round the clock to help you get this under control.
Fred: Then Flynn will have to let you out.
Toro: Don't worry Jim.
Jim: Jim's not really my name, is it?
*They don't have an answer*
It is done. But there is a slow leak in the tube because of the installation of the radio system (James Bradley not communicating with Fred properly there).
Jim panics at the thought of not being able to breathe, as he still feels human. The panic grows as he flames up. The flames grow stronger eventually bursting through the leak point and causing an explosion in the lab.
Jim calls out but no one answers, he doesn't know if they are alive or dead. He wants to help them but realises he's aflame.
He runs in shame and panic, causing destruction again and this second incident draws the attention of the press, earning him the (incorrect) nickname of "Human Torch".
He eventually crashes into a swimming pool, putting out the flames.
Later that night, he breaks into a department store for clothes (burnt off) and make up (cover the red). He is interrupted by Anthony Sardo who is stealing from the cash register. Initially not believing what he's seeing (a completely red man), Sardo takes pity on Jim and takes him under his wing. Montage of Jim making himself look human, showing Sardo his powers and using said powers to get money for Sardo, food, and clothes and make-up to cover himself after continually losing control when flaming up.
The police (Officer Betty Dean and her partner. Officer Dean is referred to by name by her partner) catch up with them. Sardo says, "stay here kid" and gives himself up, pretending that Jim has legged it. Jim feels guilty and anxious and flames up a little ("not now!"). The cops notice him and tell him to "freeze!", if only he could. He flames up and finds that he is flying. He is impervious to their bullets, though he doesn't like being shot at. He escapes, flitting across the rooftops using his new found power.
The next day he sees in the newspaper that Howard Stark has been kidnapped. He tracks down Horton and surrenders himself, offering to help find Tony, who was taken to Europe, behind enemy lines.
The SSR are reluctant, but Howard is being held in a heavily fortified base in Germany and they have lost two teams.
Jim doesn't really understand/can't control his powers yet so...training montage! Practicing powers, hydrogen helps him control the flame.
Howard is reluctantly helping Dr Erskine under threat of both their lives, building the machinery for phase 2 of the Nazi super soldier program. New volunteer Willie Lohmer, rescued from a field hospital by Hydra agents after learning of his friendship with Jim and his Nazi sympathies, tests the final iteration of phase 1, finding a working formula that works but doesn't kill anyone. Schmidt is pleased with the results and dubs him Master Man ("that should keep the Furher happy"). Erskine tries to give him some warnings, but he doesn't want to hear.
Julia wants some, none left. Phase 2 formula untested and more dangerous, needs machine.
Jim turns up with Dum Dum Dugan and his unit and they rescue Stark and Erskine.
Jim is surprised to see Willie. Willie is shocked at Jim's appearance but says that he looks different now too. They are both a little reluctant to start fighting, having been friends, but Julia shoots Jim and tells Willie (MM) to do his duty.
Jim sees Julia and is hurt and confused at her using (original) him to spy.
MM decides he must do it for Germany. His strength is superior but Jim is on fire!
In the resulting struggle, the machine and some of the phase 2 formula explodes, injuring Julia. They douse him with water, but he can control his flame better and will be able to get it back if MM would stop pounding on him.
MM's formula wears off and he goes back to normal. He is defeated.
Schmidt says he'll have to take matters into his own hands and takes the untested phase 2 formula, despite Erskine's warning. His skin starts melting.
The allies escape.
Phineas Horton can still be a dbag but he got funding from Stark and Stark now answers to SSR. So despite his protestations, he has to keep his work confidential.
Post credits - Lady Lotus is found by Johann Schmidt (his RED SKULL hidden with prosthetics) and he retells her story in a montage with his voiceover (her family was taken to an internment camp after Pearl Harbor, she used her powers to escape).
He knows that she is angry and says he knows about her power but that she doesn't need to use them on him.
He offers her a chance at revenge for her and her family, her people. He asks her to head up a team to keep Jim busy as he is working on something very important.
1945 Captain America: Super-Axis
Need a better title…
We open with the scene from Captain America: The First Avenger, where SS officers demand to see Schmidt as the Führer wants the tesseract weapons for regular soldiers, not just Hydra. In addition he is worried about the growing threat that Schmidt poses.
Here we see that he means to conquer the world, including Berlin. He kills the officers, shocking Arnim Zola.
This scene would be cut from CA:FA and put here instead as, up till now, he has had the support of the Nazi party.
He now needs to bring his plans forward before he loses the element of surprise. He goes to visit Lady Lotus.
She has Hydra goons waiting on her, hand and foot. Schmidt remarks that she seems to be making herself very comfortable (implying that she is mind controlling them (which she totally is)). She says if she's going to be stuck with Hydra she may as well make the most of it.
Schmidt asks her to enact the next phase of their plan as the murdered officers will be missed soon and the Nazis will investigate their "disappearance". They can't allow any disruption after all they have worked for. She reminds him that it is not her plan. He says her parents are not safe in the internment camp so she should do as she is told. She agrees through gritted teeth.
She has installed sleeper agents at the London SSR base and also in Talokan. They had been in Hydra's custody but were 'liberated' by the allies and Invaders in the previous movie.
She activates them by psychically reciting a series of seemingly unconnected words to them, similar to Captain America: The Winter Soldier. This means she doesn't have to control them all the time they just follow more general psychic instructions (e.g. you work for Hydra now).
The brainwashed Talokanil free the captured Meranno and Krang who lead them in an assault on Talokan. Namor, Namora and Attuma lead a resistance.
The brainwashed SSR agents free the captured Warrior Woman and Master Man who lead them in an assault on the SSR base in London. Agent Carter, the Human Torch and Howard lead a resistance.
Meanwhile Captain America and the Howling Commandos have just gone radio silent as they hunt down Zola, who is still on the Hydra train. The train scene proceeds as per the movie. Bucky is lost.
After 3 films showing Bucky and Steve's friendship, the fall will have more emotional weight.
Not knowing who is friend or foe, Namor's Tri-Team are forced to flee Talokan. They head to London.
Steve and co arrive at the SSR base early on the second day of the siege, Namor's team in the evening and turn the tide of the battle. Members of Super-Axis escape.
Peggy and the team are forced to fight their friends, some of whom are killed. Those who survive activate their cyanide capsules and die. The London base and the surrounding area is badly damaged.
This gives more urgency to the Zola interrogation scene and more poignancy to the blast damaged pub scene between Steve and Peggy.
Zola gives up Schmidt's last stronghold. The whole team head out there to stop him using his tesseract powered weapons of mass destruction on the world.
Steve gets them in and they spread out, looking for a way to defeat Super-Axis and stop Red Skull. Peggy and Jim find Master Man and Warrior Woman and a battle ensues. Jim goes toe to toe with Master Man and his personal squad of Hydra lackeys. Julia plays a game of cat and mouse with Peggy. It gets perilous for Peggy at times, but she is canny and manages to wound her with her pistol. Willie is bested by Jim again. Both the super soldiers retreat.
Steve and the Howling commandos are mopping up Hydra minions and pursuing Red Skull.
Howard and the Tri-Team find Lady Lotus with her brainwashed Hydra goons. Attuma and Namora easily defeat the goons. A furious Namor tries to kill Lady Lotus (she cannot control him). She turns Attuma and Namora against him.
Howard calls for them all to stop and listen.
He manages to convince Namor that despite her actions she is also a victim of the Red Skull, that she's not really had a choice. That she told him at least part of the truth when they captured her before. That her parents really are interred in California and Schmidt has been using them as leverage.
Howard suggests releasing all the brainwashed Talokanil in return for her release. Namor cannot countenance this. Howard says if she removes her control, you can defeat Meranno without fear of harming your people. He tells him about the harrowing scenes at the SSR base and the cyanide capsules.
Namor says he cannot let her go after what she has done.
Howard says why would she release your people if you don't.
Namor thinks. He says if she betrays him he will find her and kill her.
She releases Namora, Attuma and all the others. We have a very brief scene of Meranno, about to have himself crowned king of Talokan, being turned on by dozens of formerly brainwashed subjects. He flees.
Lotus says what about my parents?
Namora says, why not get them yourself? There aren't many who could stop you.
She says what about Red Skull?
Howard says leave Red Skull to us.
Steve meets up with Peggy and Colonel Phillips in the hallway as per the movie and they get after Schmidt, Steve stowing away on the plane.
Meanwhile, Meranno has arrived and joined up with Super-Axis and the remaining Hydra soldiers. The SSR team converges on their position. We cut back and forth between their battle and Steve's infiltration of the plane.
The fight between Cap and Skull should be huge as this is the last time they will fight.
Peggy manages to finish what she started and caps Julia (not before kicking some SSR butt though). Willie tries to get to her and gets caught in the crossfire. As she dies, Julia calls him an idiot.
Willie appeals to Jim as they were friends. Jim is conflicted as he has the real Jim's memories, but ultimately decides that that isn't really him and leaves Master Man to die alone. Meranno and the other Hydra forces are holding their own, but then the pursuing Talokanil turn up and the base is overrun.
Red Skull acidentally makes himself disappear with the tesseract at the climax of the battle. Steve takes control of the plane.
Peggy joins him on coms. Crash. Downer.
Red Skull has now been an impressive antagonist 3 times in a row for Cap, much better.
1st Post credits:-
We see an older Japanese American couple playing Go while others internees mill about and chat etc.
We see the guard outside wandering off.
We zoom out and see ALL the guards wandering off.
We see the residents start to realise something is going on. They look out the windows. The older couple look up momentarily but then continue their game.
We see Lady Lotus enter and say (in Japanese), "Nothing ever interrupts your Go game, does it…"
They finally look up and see who it is, their daughter.
"Hasu chan!"
They embrace. Everybody else crowds around. She smiles and says (in Japanese), "Let's go"
i can’t watch movies anymore without doing doodling studies ^^;
Spooktober Day 3
Possessed Avengers
Mine:
In this universe Hydra has completely taken over after winning World War II Steve Rodgers was captured and brainwashed to become Captain Hydra (similar to Winter Soldier). Tony Stark designs armors for Red Skull's Hydra Legion but he never truly dons a suit and becomes Iron Man instead just using drones. Thor was apprehended after being banished from Asgard and losing his powers. He was brainwashed and became the Thunderer. Because he is no longer worthy for Mjolnir he wields a battle axe. Hank Pym becomes the Yellow Jacket and not much changed with him really. Janet was killed by Hank for attempting to betray Hydra and in her place is Hornet who is also the Ultron of this universe and just like the Iron Drones there are multiple Hornets. So maybe not exactly Possession but fitting enough I feel

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Series
Summary - While on a mission, something happens to bucky. On his journey to recovery, he finds something he wants more than life.
:⚠️warnings: talk of unconscious people, talks of torture and violence ⚠️:
Bucky x reader (no use of Y/N)
(Idk if this makes sense.. it makes sense to meee)
You watch from the back of the room, as 4-6 shield agents continue their 'interaction' it was torture not only to look at, but probably also to go throught, it was disturbing to watch, so you got up trying to make a little scene as your chair loudly scraps along the floor and to pick up your books, looking up and seeing mostly everyone even a couple agents in the room with him staring at you, so you left to head to your room, you slept in the compound most nights even thought you had a apartment. You threw your books on your desk as you walk towards the large window covering the whole back wall.
You fell backwards on your bed and stared at the ceiling. You were in your own world and didn't realise your phone was blowing up, you came back to reality when you heard a frantic knock at your door, getting up you unlocked it and a red headed assassin barged through before slamming he door shut and using all your 4 locks making sure she used them all. She was leaning on the door with her ear to it, listening. She swallowed dramatically. "I'm never gonna make fun of you for all your locks again." She said while sounding out of breath. You tried to listen to what she was running.. from?
"I don't hear anything.. what's going on?" You whispered as she slowly made her way to your bed, sitting at the foot of it.
"He just appeared like right there and.." she tried speaking but also trying to catch her breath." I walked in, trying to remind them you left, so it's over, but.. he was out. They were all dead or unconscious in his.. room.. he was just watching them..." she looked at you like she wouldn't believe herself, but she saw it, so she had to.
"And you ran here? To me, to the woman who hates, HATES violence, " you gave her a look on confusion. "OK, wasn't me best move, but I thought with your past.." she tried reasoning but gave up pretty quickly, you give a slow nod as you walked to your desk and relieved you grabbed some of the wrong papers. You turned your head, giving her a lovely smirk. "Guess what?" You choked out, but you were met with a defeated look. You just hum picking up the right papers and make piles before grabbing the wrong ones and heading towards the door with Nat praying behind you.
~~~
You giggle as tried defending herself - "So you're one of the more deadly assassins the red room even made.. but you're scared when he looked at you, and you just ran, not knowing if he was also running.. Hahaha, cmon Nat, it's funny, " you giggled as you reached for your badge as the bay was on lockout. Before you could swipe it, you got a weird feeling when you realised you weren't afraid of the wintersolider and weren't scared when Nat almost took out the door and told you her lovely story. You were going to say something but didn't and just swiped your badge with a beep. You shrugged as it took a while for the door to open. As it slowly opened, you went to take a step inside, and you stopped looking around.
You saw the room a mess desks and tables tipped papers everywhere, glass shards covering the floor, what looks like ripped clothing scattered through out the room, without thinking or even looking you slowly slip your hand towards a big red button "you believe me now?" You hear the shake in nats' voices before hitting the panic button. The room starts spinning as what you think is classical music plays in your head, your own world turned into a record player, and you were the record.
