The First Avenger. Compared to the sepia-toned beauty of the first Captain America movie, Steve's new life looks depressingly drab and grey. The car chases churn through DC traffic on concrete freeways, SHIELD headquarters looks like a cross between a multi-storey car park and an office block, and the Helicarriers are all cold, smooth glass and metal. The only hint of the warm colour-scheme of Steve's youth is when he goes to visit Sam Wilson at the VA, a comforting moment among the corporate cleanliness of the rest of DC.
Each of the Avengers movies has its own distinct aesthetic, with Iron Man flitting between palaces of high-tech luxury, Thor living in a world of gold embossed armour and faux-historical alien weirdness, and Captain America spending the entirety of his first movie surrounded by 1940s grime. CATWS was definitely the ugliest movie in the franchise, which kind of worked in its favour because it highlighted Steve Rogers' isolation in 21st century DC.
