This week on Marvel Movie Minute, Nick Fury is dead — probably — and everyone who loved him is handling it. Meanwhile, Alexander Pierce would like five minutes of Steve’s time, which is definitely not suspicious at all.
This week, Nick Fury — director of SHIELD, the world’s most powerful intelligence organization — attempts to covertly warn Captain America of a massive conspiracy by turning off the lights, displaying a phone with the words “EARS EVERYWHERE” in approximately 96-point font, and then speaking out loud, twice, using his own name, six feet from the agents who are actively monitoring him. It is, to put it charitably, a choice.
Nick Fury attempts to go off the grid in Washington, DC, which is like trying to disappear at your own birthday party. Meanwhile, someone very dangerous is standing in the middle of the street, and he is in absolutely no hurry.
Five minutes, two scenes: Steve Rogers’ most honest conversation and Nick Fury’s worst commute. Kyle, Pete, and Matthew figure out why they’re making the same argument.
