Should Cap have been able to defeat his old self easily? We know that Cap became a better fighter between Avengers and Winter Soldier (Remember Natasha's criticism of Caps fighting skills with Loki "This guys's all over the place") and so shouldn't it have been a lot easier for him to beat his inexperienced other self?
shareI assume that the older Cap would win, because knows exactly how his younger self fought.
shareI don’t think the younger Cap was meant to be a bad fighter. It’s just that Loki is far stronger and is a warrior himself.
The two Caps should be more or less equal with the older Cap knowing what to say to distract his younger self.
I'm not saying he was a bad fighter, just not as good as he was later. Think about it: how much time did Steve actually train with his new strength after he received it in First Avenger? He could not have been as good as Natasha at hand to hand combat, hence her criticism of his fighting skills in Avengers in the Loki fight.
However, it seems clear to me that he has been training with SHIELD and probably with Natasha by the time of Winter Soldier
Cap has the type of personality that he is always going to work hard, even though he has super powers. So I think youre right because he would have been training very hard plus he had top people to train with like Nat.
shareShe wasn't criticizing Steve. She was talking about how fast he and Loki were moving. she couldn't get a shot in.
shareIn Thor’s voice: did he though?
;->
I would say it’s likely older Cap held back against 2012 Cap. That’s what it looked like to me. And why wouldn’t he? Unlike younger Cap, older Cap knew exactly who he was facing — and I kinda doubt completely kicking his younger self’s ass is what he was gonna try to do.
Either way, great sequence
It seemed to go how I would expect it would. It was a draw.....until he became distracted by seeing his picture of the girl.
