Peggy Carter helped found SHIELD after Steve “died”.
It was founded at the camp that Steve trained at.

Guys.

Why isn’t a Black Widow movie a priority for Marvel? That seems to be the question of the year. Scarlett Johansson’s popular assassin character was a huge reason why Captain America: The Winter Soldier was a massive box-office success and the actress herself has expressed an eagerness to see the character have her own movie. It’s downright laughable that between the prolific Marvel, DC, X-Men and Spider-Man franchises not a single concrete announcement has been made about plans to produce a film with a female lead. (Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman is closest, but it’s still a matter of when.) So what’s the hold up? As far as Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is concerned, “It comes down to timing.” And that, I’m afraid, doesn’t sound exactly right… isn’t “timing” also just another way of saying “this isn’t our priority?”
As for Feige’s question of whether they should put an existing franchise on hold to make room for a female-led one, why not? Do we really need the confirmed Captain America 3 and Thor 3 before we even get Black Widow 1? Is the logic there that both Cap and Thor have established box-office clout? If having a known quantity in the leading role is the concern, then why not Black Widow 1 before the comparatively esoteric new kids on the block Doctor Strange and Ant-Man? There’s no way to logic around the fact that Marvel is dragging its feet on this matter.
As you might imagine, I walked into Captain America 2 ready to get my Soviet Russia on. The Winter Soldier run is one of my favorites in—well, in any comic, really, and from what I’d seen in the trailers and whatnot, it looked like we were going to get a heaping dose of what...
torn between the fact that I want desperately for Sebastian Stan to play Luke Skywalker and also already want 12 seasons of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

This is probably one of my new favorite paintings.
okay am I the only one who thinks that guy looks like Chris Evans as Captain America???
Emily Vancamp as Sharon Carter in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”
Here’s an example of what we call a “soft no”. Sharon turns down Steve’s offer in a way that’s meant not to insult him but never actually uses the word “no”.
Steve clearly gets the message, though, and importantly offers to leave her alone. Sharon’s comment afterwards gives him an opportunity to try again later, but he doesn’t press and respects her rejection of his company even though it’s probably hurt his feelings a bit.
Just in case you ever wonder “What would Captain America do?”; there you go.
never do something steve rogers wouldn’t do.
Unless it’s jumping out of a plane without a parachute, you probably shouldn’t do that
I just have to add - I’ve seen interviews with Marvel people where they say that this scene demonstrates that Cap’s awkward with women and doesn’t know how to ask women out on a date. And it drives me crazy, because - as the OP says - Steve behaved perfectly here. It was a very charming, nonthreatening offer, and he accepted her rejection with good grace. You can’t help but feel that to Hollywood, the fact that she said no means he asked badly - which is exactly how I’d expect Hollywood to think, namely, the idea that men should keep pressing and pushing women until they say yes
I really liked this scene because it was flirty and he was kind/neighborly and she set boundaries and he respected them and she left a door open for later. “Want to do X?” “No.” “Ok.” “But maybe we can Y.” In this case, “Want to use my washing machine, which is inside my personal apartment, which can be creepy to be alone with me, an almost stranger?” “No thanks, because of reasons.” “Well alright, I understand that and won’t push.” “But I’m going to leave a door open for future socializing.” This’d be a GREAT set up for a rom com, which is subverted by spoileriffic things. But I so love that this movie sets up gentle flirtation, boundaries, and respect for boundaries.
There are two little boys outside my apartment building playing Captain America and Winter Soldier, and — I’m not even IN MCU fandom, but this seems very accurate — they are just taking turns carrying each other to an imaginary safe-zone, bridal style.
CAPTAIN AMERICA, and iron man, and scarlett witch, and black widow, and falcon, and hawkeye, and the winter soldier, and vision: CIVIL WAR
It’s like Marvel is really trying to piss people off, lol.

calling it, whoever the new iron man is they won’t be straight. marvel’s tryna go for the trifecta.
Nothing makes me more pleased than Marvel making Marvel fanboys angry about genuinely good and interesting comic choices.

WARNING
very graphic visual of Lu-Tens last moments.
the footage shows, how prince Lu-Ten son of Iroh second in line.
has to fight off on his own, two small hatchlings, both enraged by their pray being stolen.
and you can clearly see, how his father, the general, dragon of the west crown prince Iroh, JUST SITS ON THE SIDELINES SIPPING HIS TEA AND LAUGHING HIS BELLY OF!
