Captain America: The Winter Soldier (April 4, 2014)

Now this is a Marvel flick filled with redemption stories. The first one, and the biggest, is the one of the Winter Soldier, the skilled and fearful assassin answering to HYDRA’s orders.

After being brainwashed, he was the lapdog sent to take care, in the most inconspicuous ways, of any enemies the Nazi movement had. He was just a legend, with almost nobody knowing who he was – Black Widow encountered him and was nearly killed.

After coming to blows with Captain America, he breaks free of HYDRA’s grip and realizes who he was – and old friend. So, after delivering what seemed to be a final blow, he saves his old friend.

Another redemption story could be the one of the Black Widow, who finally comes to terms with who she was and who tells her story in front of an official committee.

But what about Captain America himself? Did he have to atone with past mistakes? Well, he didn’t really have to do that, since he is the compass of morality in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. His ideas and his principles are so strong and worthy of being followed by everybody, that he simply cannot make up for past mistakes – he has none!
