Captain America 1 minor revision

This movie needed one extra scene to make it perfect.

The Valkyrie bombs needed to be tested on an Eastern European civilian population to demonstrate the destructive capability of tessaract bombs on the level of a nuke.

This one scene would increase the sense of urgency of the team capturing Zola and stopping Red Skull while also justifying Steve downing the Valkyrie in the Arctic rather than just landing it in a US base. “No government should possess that much power” would also tie in well to his disillusionment in Winter Soldier.

I disagree. The audience was able to understand the level of power through other scenes. Showing a city getting leveled would just be ‘destruction porn’.

Plus, having that power demonstrated to the public would raise too many issues. It had to be shown as available and possible but never used.

I concur. Having a nuclear-level or greater bomb used prior to the actual use of a nuclear bomb, would likely have made a huge (and unpredictable) difference to world history.

Yeah the fact that each bomb just had the name of a city on it, told me enough. I had enough clues to figure that each bomb would level an entire city in one go.

I've never been a fan of superhero stories where the mass killing of one group of people is for shock value and it just happens, while the potential killing of another group of people is what the entire third act is built up to and all the heroes are fighting to prevent, and then said prevention is a happy ending.
It's one of the things that bothered me in GotG 3 - by the end of the movie it feels like everyone has forgotten that literally an entire planet was genocided.

I disagree. Have them test it on an uninhibited island or something. You don't get the 9/11 point that superhero films insist on putting in their movies, you demonstrate the destructive power of the bomb without killing anyone, and you can put that island in your back pocket to possibly use for a later story like maybe that bomb created the savage land, or the bomb released something in the atmosphere that created mutants, or any sort of thing you end up wanting to use that event for.

You could accomplish the same exact thing if they tested it on an empty area. You could mirror the real life atomic bomb trinity test. You could do without altogether

You must be a Snyder fan
