Every time I watch the movie (which is probably way too much), I swoon a bit when Bruce Willis says, “LeeLoo” like it’s the most beautiful name he’s ever heard.

He is an extremely accurate marksman. 
Skilled in sharpshooting and knife throwing.

Can we just talk about the fact that The Winter Soldier is a highly accurate and deadly weapon? How he shot Nick Fury from the rooftop of an adjacent building in the dead of night?  How he managed to shoot his target through Natasha back in Iran? How he shot Natasha right on the shoulder from a fair distance as she was running away? How Steve has dropped his shield and is completely exposed? How The Winter Soldier has a perfect shot every time but it takes him three attempts to make some real damage? How he first shoots to stop and not to kill? How he finally had to put a bullet through Steve’s stomach because he wasn’t stopping? How he had to remind himself that Steve was not a friend but his mission?

We really need to talk about this scene a lot, because holy wow. The MCU movies have definitely been getting a little darker since the Avengers, and Iron Man 3 was definitely the grimmest of that particular trilogy so far, but scenes like this? This is pure optimism. Tony is told he can save 4 out of 13, and then he saves all 13 of them anyway, because these people can work together and help Tony save them. 

If a similar scenario had happened in the Dark Knight Saga or Man of Steel, you know damn well 9 out of those 13 people would have been dead. Hell, Bruce or Clark would have been lucky to even save the 4, because DC movies have gone down a route of unrelenting grtty realism that makes good old super heroics virtually impossible. Bruce can’t save the city without faking his own death; Clark can’t save the world without becoming a murderer.

But even in the darkest hours of the Marvel Universe, Tony Stark can damn well save 13 people plummeting to their certain death. Is it realistic? Hell no. But it was an awesome victory that both Tony and the audience needed at this point in the story, and by god it was heroic.
