Something that bothered me

First let me say that, overall, CAtWS is probably my favorite MCU film. The themes are excellent, the plot sound, and the characters spot-on. There is one scene that grates on me every time, though. I'm probably going to get jumped on for complaining about it, but I want to vent anyway.

Before fighting Falcon in the Triskelion, Rumlow yells his location to compatriots: "Southwest stairwell" and later Falcon radios Fury for pick-up from the "41st floor, northwest corner!" These (admittedly) commonplace-sounding designations become unpleasantly familiar when paired with aircraft plowing into skyscrapers and people calling for help before jumping out windows. Maybe I was scarred or something, but it is honestly unsettling and seems in poor taste.

Anyone else find that a bit jarring?

Wasn't Falcon running for his life when that ship started destroying SHIELD Tower?  

Or you're just an oversensitive little girl.

They will bend the knee or I will destroy them.

To be honest, that's exactly what I was in 2001. Maybe that's why i reacted so strongly to that scene in CAtWS.

Thanks for the input, even if the wording is a tad... harsh. It's better than getting the polar opposite.

you are being overly sensitive.

Alright then, that seems to be the consensus. Thanks for the input.
