I don’t want to blow your mind, but did you know that giant, flying SHIELD helicarriers in the popular Marvel movie weren’t actually built, launched into the air, destroyed, and then crashed into Washington DC? It’s true! As it turns out, these massive airships were in fact made by something call com-pyoo-turs!

I kid, of course; it’s in fact another VFX reel, this time of ILM’s work on Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Highlights include Jenny Agutter ripping her face off to reveal Scarlett Johansson and Anthony Mackie’s Falcon sliding away from no danger whatsoever. Fun stuff!
