Make it a WW2 film! by Julius Dithers	Jun 13th, 2008 03:35:21 AM

Captain America, I mean. by Julius Dithers	Jun 13th, 2008 03:36:50 AM
And Bucky should be a stone cold 12-year-old killer like how Ed Brubaker wrote him.
Cap better be in WW2 by kungfuhustler84	Jun 13th, 2008 03:37:47 AM

and it better have Bucky by kungfuhustler84	Jun 13th, 2008 03:40:16 AM
how fuckin sweet would it be to have a Death of Captain America movie as like the fourth in a Cap series? with Bucky and Falcon running around doing all kinds of crazy espionage missions? just kill him off in part I or II, and bring him back later.

What's your name, laddie? First! Troy McFirst! by Rowsdower.ZabRowsdower	Jun 13th, 2008 03:49:27 AM
Does anyone else get that kind of ominous feeling... like Marvel Studios, despite the massive success of their recent ventures, is gonna fuck all this up and end up delivering some mediorce garbage for these highly anticipated sequels/tie-ins? I certainly hope not. Give Favreau his money, sequel to IronMan should be the Avengers movie and not a standalone, lessen the supernatural hero aspect a'la Thor, and pay close attention to the feedback of people like Favreau, Feige, Hurd, et.all. We're at a special time in cinematic experience here. We can finally find studios who will back and produce dork-fantasy projects performed by people who know and get the subject matter, viable a-list stars willing to commit 100% to these projects... and, at least for a coaster geek like myself, make awesome rides at Universal Studios out of them. Seriously, though... this is a great time to be a fan of comic fantasy.

Cap movie before Avengers movie is dumb business decision by messi	Jun 13th, 2008 04:02:30 AM
I keep saying it and other people have said it too, business wise the smartest move would be to introduce him Ultimates style, with that saving private ryan style intro in an Avengers movie, then people(those overseas i'm talking about) will see how cool he is and be more receptive about a movie called Captain America and that he is not a usa usa usa bruckheimer character. This is how most new readers got into him through the comics. It'll make money if done first but it would make more money after an Avengers movie, less people would scoff at it. Thor aswell, I just see it making more money spinning off from an Avengers movie.
first by chipps	Jun 13th, 2008 04:02:47 AM
I'm here. I'll tell you.
Cap movie should be Saving Private Ryan written by Brubaker by messi	Jun 13th, 2008 04:08:28 AM
It needs Bucky and it needs to be photographed by janusz Kaminski with the washed out look, so when the blue and red comes in, it would look awesome in the contrast of grey and green, especially in a washed out look.
Lost Jarv by messi	Jun 13th, 2008 04:08:50 AM

peopel are not as stupid as you think by Mr_X	Jun 13th, 2008 04:17:10 AM
captain america should be his own movie. the WWII period seems ideal. hopefully we'll have a large british contigent in the movie as well. it sounds great, not hokey. its exactly as the comic books. war, freeze. present day. avengers. thor hopefully is done right. i like the idea of a lord of the rings type quality to it. im really want that iron fist movie damimit the comic book has been perfect it needs to be on the big screen!. anyhoo.. i'll be watching the hulk later on today! yay!
Messi by Marxeffect	Jun 13th, 2008 04:27:40 AM
I can see your point about putting out the avengers first but the problem is not everyone knows the mythology behind Captain America or Thor and with the Avengers movie having so many characters there is not going to be much time for character exposition or development so to most of the population it would just look like some guy in a strange costume throwing a shield around and i just think characters like Thor & Cap deserve more than that!
Messi, you ignorant fuckhead by Lost Jarv	Jun 13th, 2008 04:37:40 AM
are you really going to start up with your wholly ignorant and wrongheaded opinions about other countries again? Even after the beating you took last time. For the record, asshat, we knew fuck all about Iron Man and that hardly hurt it's box office.
Lost Jarv by messi	Jun 13th, 2008 04:58:11 AM
what beating? are you seriously saying you owned someone online. congratulations. that was no beating. it was me going to sleep because it was late and then spending too much time on chud, and not worrying since alot of bloggers and even dudes on mtv agree with me. Don't you get it. it's not the recognition. it's the name. Captain America. God you are so fucking stupid.
RobRostad by Marxeffect	Jun 13th, 2008 05:03:50 AM
Im assuming that hulk will definitely be an avenger since he featured so heavily in the comics as one, plus Bruce Banner realised his power to do good in the last hulk movie! I dont know how the avenger team are going to control him though but im still 99.9% sure he wont be the antagonist
Fuck! Latinoreview has said... by Marxeffect	Jun 13th, 2008 05:08:00 AM
that Marvel want leo Di Caprio for Captain America! I'm not sure how i feel about that, he would definitely have to bulk up quite a bit! it also said that failing that they would like Brad Pitt, which i think would be fucking awesome.
About "Not" Being a WWII Movie by Playhouse	Jun 13th, 2008 05:11:59 AM
I think what he meant was that it wouldn't be mistaken as a film like Saving Private Ryan, Bridge on the River Kwai or The Longest Day. It will still have a superhero feel to it but will have WWII as the backdrop. I'm not sure how I feel about that but I can see why they'd go that route for "the general public".
Taste of Cap POSSIBLE MINOR HULK SPOILERS by Playhouse	Jun 13th, 2008 05:15:51 AM
And I loved the small taste of Cap they gave us in The Incredible Hulk after Blonsky took the Super Soldier serum. The speed and agility, the recuperative abilities. Inventive test run on the character.
I get it you cretinous scab by Lost Jarv	Jun 13th, 2008 05:19:02 AM
You don't- there's 2 things I'm trying to get through your annoyingly thick pointy head: 1)The name is not as much of a problem as you think and, 2)If it is such a turnoff, then what difference would it make introducing the character in another film? following your reasoning the reaction to a post Avengers Cap movie will be "Oh that fucking lame Yank spin off shit, fuck that". The problem of the name will remain the same. I'm glad "dudes" on Latin American MTV agree with you. Wow. Did you have to swallow to get them to validate you?
and I forgot, by Lost Jarv	Jun 13th, 2008 05:24:47 AM
just in case anyone here mistakenly thinks you have any critical faculties/ opinions worth listening to, I'm going to remind you that you're the fucking idiot that reckoned Lex Luthor in Smallville> Michael Corleone. Which is possibly the most stupid, fanboyish thing I've ever seen posted.
Brad Pitt as Cap by Golitsyn1	Jun 13th, 2008 05:48:08 AM
Pure speculation, but, anyone notice how skinny he looks in the Burn After Reading trailer. Could he be slimming down for scenes of Cap before the Super Soldier serum?
"Lex Luthor in Smallville> Michael Corleone" by DocPazuzu	Jun 13th, 2008 06:11:21 AM
Ouch.
I'm not joking about that by Lost Jarv	Jun 13th, 2008 06:15:45 AM
Yack pulled him up on it. Stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen.
Playhouse is right by Dragon Man	Jun 13th, 2008 06:29:20 AM
I think that's exactly what Feige meant. You're not going to look at Captain America set during WWII and say "Oh yeah, that's exactly how it was." But it'll be set during WWII and his exploits, hopefully with the Red Skull.

What messi is... by DocPazuzu	Jun 13th, 2008 07:39:45 AM
...conveniently choosing to ignore is that most of the people he says would hate a "rah rah" Captain America would hate the character no matter what, simply because of the outfit he wears. Besides, Captain America is always going to be about patriotism in one way or another so there's no getting around it. Even if he turns out to defend classic, liberal American ideas, the critics won't buy it.
He's a fanboy twat of the lowest order by Lost Jarv	Jun 13th, 2008 07:43:07 AM
Whoops, I forgot- he's "Talkback Superstar, Messi". Fucking idiot named himself after a football player that he thinks he looks like. Twat.

Node has fucking abominable taste in films by Lost Jarv	Jun 13th, 2008 08:05:27 AM

People "overseas" actually know who cap is by m_reporter	Jun 13th, 2008 08:08:18 AM
A propaganda character. Ok he has a solid story behind him, but seriously, a dude in a USA flag costume? Not propaganda? REALLY?
messi is right by most excellent ninja	Jun 13th, 2008 08:08:36 AM
I can tell you right now that a Captain America movie would make just about fuck all here in Australia. There's this 'american bullshit' attitude here, not saying it won't make money but spinning Cap off of Avengers is probably a smarter move. Alot of people here assume Cap is one of those jingoistic super america government type guys and they would definately scoff at the title. But yeah if they introduce him in Avengers, people will get to see what the character is really like. More potential for money to be made and a possible WINTER SOLDIER movie.
The Invaders? by edge54752	Jun 13th, 2008 08:10:20 AM
Now wouldn't it be cool if they were to set Cap in WWII with the Invaders? Cap, Namor, Bucky, The Human Torch, Toro. Since technically that Torch is not the same character in FF, they should be able to do it. The icing on the cake would be if they brought in Ed Brubaker to script it. Ed's Cap run is the best superhero comic on the stands today.
Lost Jarv by messi	Jun 13th, 2008 08:11:37 AM
You fucking cock. I never said I looked like messi, i told you this before. I named myself after him because the other names were taken and of course he is a hero in arg and an exciting player. I just used messi as an example saying i look more towards him than the fat comic book guy which some other dude thought. What will it take for you to think without ignorance. My friend lives next to emirates staidum, i'll be happy to come along and put my fist through your eyes.
edge54752 by messi	Jun 13th, 2008 08:12:52 AM
don't talk about comics too much and writers and runs or lost jarv will call you a fanboy.
Pondscum by messi	Jun 13th, 2008 08:13:40 AM
saving private ryan doesn't mean R rating, mega gore. If anything, the cinematography/camera work and the minimalist score in places.
Lost Jarv by messi	Jun 13th, 2008 08:15:44 AM
it was mtv.com where they talked about america's low approval rating and how a movie called captain america doesn't seem like it would make much money. so fuck yourself with assumptions and twisting words. you're all alone dumb fuck, remember you were the one giving me shit about mentioning sinestro corps war. i don't get why you get so worked up about it.
Ninja by Lost Jarv	Jun 13th, 2008 08:20:16 AM
He is wrong. If the attitude that you say is prevalant is, then it doesn't make a blind bit of difference how you introduce him- People will still not see a film entitled "Captain America". Messi, it isn't that you are a comic book fan. Lots of my friends are heavily into comics. I couldn't give a fuck. It's that you are a moronic hypocrite that makes outlandish fucking claims that you can't back up (Lex Luthor in Smallville> Michael Corleone). Couple this with your dreadful attitude, cretinous apologism, and pretend aggression. And now the prick is threatening actual violence on AICN- which is the saddest thing you can do. FYI Messi, that doesn't actually make you tough.

Threatening violence via a Talkback? by LordPorkington	Jun 13th, 2008 08:28:56 AM
That's just pathetic. And I see no reason why a Captain America movie won't do well. I don't think it performing badly in a country like, let's say Argentina for example, would affect it's overall world box-office. By the way, aren't most Argentinian footballers dirty cheats who like to roll around on the pitch pretending to be injured and also using their hands to punch the ball into the goal and claiming it was the 'Hand of God'? Shameful.
It's all about saving a buck to make a buck by grampageezer	Jun 13th, 2008 08:32:11 AM
Talkbackers are worried that Marvel will eventually mess up and start putting out crap. Put it this way, Marvel is a corporation. Corporations are run by suits whose jobs depend on the bottom line. The bottom line is saving as much money as you can to make as much money as you can to please the stockholders. In answer to anybody's question, yes, the movies will gradually start to get worse as they figure out ways to cut corners to produce them as cheaply as they can to increase their profit take. They're no different than any other big corporation. It's like the potato chip companies that now give you 4 chips in a bag instead of 5, and charge you a dime more.
"so fuck yourself with assumptions and twisting words" by Lost Jarv	Jun 13th, 2008 08:38:35 AM
Yup, like, say assuming the attitude of the 60 million people that live in Britain. Give it up asshole, and as for "your all alone"- you think I need help to make you look like the pathetic submoron you are? I can just find quotes from you that do that for me- try these for starters: 1)"No Country for Old Men and even Goodfellas can't top 'The Slavers'. What a powerful moving story. Anyone who doesn't agree with the Punisher in how he handled those cunts lives in a fantasy world where all humanity can be redeemed." I've just been looking to find that post where you said you looked like the footballer and actually got bored, but I do like the way you went running to AICN comics like a little bitch looking for support. You pathetic loser.

I dont see the problem... by Marxeffect	Jun 13th, 2008 08:45:22 AM
with having a Captain America movie play in other countries! im from the UK and i still think it would be a huge success. Captain America is a symbol of patriotism, whether it be American, British or Australian etc. People are not stupid and ignorant enough not to watch a movie just because its called Captain AMERICA! This movie, if done well could be the best comic book movie to date (until Thor which has got to be awesome!) It's really naive of people to think that nobody outside of America will "get" the whole Captain America thing. It could probably be sold to the entire world with a carefully put together trailer and a decent actor in the title roll (personally im still crossing my fingers for Brad Pitt!) P.S Does anyone else think the Red Skull kinda sucks? I know he's CA arch nemesis etc but he is kinda lame.
Pondscum by blindambition238	Jun 13th, 2008 08:46:32 AM
I would actually love to see that version of Captain America "So your saying this secret serum makes me nearly invincible Dr. Erskin?" "Er, yes... 'invincible', here just put on these brightly colored tights and make sure to charge towards your secret target on the other side of the landing, away from the rest of the regs" "Dr, you sure its right to shoot these poor sobs up with kool-aid and lie to them like this? "Sure, I'm sure! Hell, 50 years from now, I bet the DoD will be up to all kinds of shit that'll make this look like nothing! Send the next sap in!"

Who cares? by DocPazuzu	Jun 13th, 2008 08:58:11 AM
Movies that hit in America bomb in other countries and vice versa all the time. Who gives a shit? Making a movie entitled Captain America means one thing and one thing only: they're aiming for a predominately American audience. If it's a hit abroad, goody, but it's not important. It's not like it's a Star Wars or LOTR film.
An Invaders film... by DocPazuzu	Jun 13th, 2008 08:58:49 AM
...would be awesome. They could even have Union Jack in it just to piss Messi off even more.

Brad Pitt should be Thor, not Cap by CarmillaVonDoom	Jun 13th, 2008 09:03:39 AM
He pulled off a pretty ballsy warrior in 'Troy' imo.
CarmillaVonDoom by Marxeffect	Jun 13th, 2008 09:09:14 AM
I don't know about Brad Pitt as Thor... i just dont think he's big enough! Personally i think he would suit Captain America better just because he's more lean and toned. Thor should be a big ass mean mother fucker :) Not Triple H though, they need someone who can act!
Union Jack by Dominic-Vobiscum	Jun 13th, 2008 09:11:59 AM
They should have Union Jack in the Cap movie. I always thought he was underused and the costume is bad ass. Wasn't there a Canadian super soldier too? Or just Wolverine?

By the time the Cap flick comes out, hopefully we will have Obama in the White House, we'll be out of Iraq, and the overall negative image of the country under W will be fading, replaced by a new sense of restoration and promise--and a Cap flick could very well benefit from that.

bullshit. Yesterday the prick tried to speak for every person in Britain. When myself and other British users pointed out that this was horseshit he just ignored it and screamed that we were cunts that didn't know what we were talking about. His claims are hyperbolic, they are also assumptive. It isn't up to me to produce evidence to support my argument as I'm not making the hyperbolic statement. When he gives me a link that is not fanboy garbage to support that assertion that The slaves > Goodfellas then I'll come back. Or even one to substantiate the laughable claim that Lex on Smallville> Michael Corleone. And as for people being on my payroll, wtf? Are you and that ninja guy on Messi's?

Wasn't the Point of Cap's Suit by Playhouse	Jun 13th, 2008 10:48:29 AM
To galvanize the troops (yes, in a rah rah gung ho fashion) and to draw the attention of the enemy to a single focal point? The enemy would be spending all their time firing on him while the troops would move in and win the war, by golly. It was a very calculated idea to have him stand out like a sore red, white and blue thumb.

Captain America and WW2 by Heckles	Jun 13th, 2008 11:13:43 AM
A good Captain America would have in WW2 for about the first act. Maybe to the middle of the second act. Sort of like Batman Begins. Unless they want The Avengers to find his frozen ass modern day like in the comics. Regardless, more of his story should be Steve Rogers trying to live present day with the mind of someone still in the 1940's. And Bucky should die in the opening credits.
Keep it simple, true believers. by Sithtastic	Jun 13th, 2008 11:14:48 AM
I have quite literally no problem, keeping a Captain America film in the 1940s in at the very least the first act. Have it as an origin story. Start with a scrawny, F-troop Steve Rogers in the Super Soldier program and go from there. 1st Act ends with him being frozen. Bring it up to the 21st century with him getting thawed out and the inevitable Stark/Shield cameo to link it all together, then give him a revived Red Scull to take on in the third act.

Seriously....JUST like Saving Private Ryan except with Cap and The Red Skull. Maybe throw in a dash of Raiders of the Lost Ark too boot. Trust me...the kids will still see it. Nothing wrong with mixing a little history with an awesome summer movie.
question for Cap comic guys: by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jun 13th, 2008 11:37:20 AM
how is the Red Scull still around in the (insert decade here)'s in the comics? is he frozen and thawed out too?
Talkback lovers by Phil Spiderman	Jun 13th, 2008 11:54:14 AM
Messi, I wouldn't even bother responding to Lost Jarv's nonsense. The guy's clearly got a boner for you. Christ, he's trawling through old talkbacks looking for your quotes. I've never seen such a cringing case of schoolyard bullying... from a Captain America nerd? Lol. Oh and for the record, I'm British, and I think Captain America will do great international box office. Marvel have a marketing department. It'll sell.
Sam Jackson... by Phil Spiderman	Jun 13th, 2008 12:09:06 PM
Are we gonna see Nick Fury and his Howling Commandos in the WWII Captain America flick? That would be very cool.
Phil by Lost Jarv	Jun 13th, 2008 12:12:27 PM
You deserve a few points of clarity: 1)I'm not into Captain America, but thanks for again proving my point that Messi doesn't know what he's talking about. 2)I don't have a boner for him- in fact I generally ignore him. I do not like him as I think he's an offensive little blowhard with an attitude problem. I don't like his constant posts calling everyone else fucking dumb, or cunts or fanboys or whatever, but I'm now done with him. 3)This is Talkback, home of abuse, slander and unfounded hatred. Get used to it. 4)Lovely use of English, but if anything I'm responding to his bullying. I'm normally quite chilled out, but I've had enough of his shite in every talkback. If he can't take it then he shouldn't dish it out- and clearly he can't take it. He's old enough and ugly enough to fight his own battles, but I'm sure he's grateful for your help. Unlike him, I don't run crying around the internet looking for help- good to see you responded. Cheers, have a good weekend
First of all... by DoctorWho?	Jun 13th, 2008 12:17:34 PM
Get over yourself NODE...Your not funny,witty nor interesting. Give it a rest. As far as Cap is concerned, I think we will see the biggest costume makeover ever. Like Doc Paz said...that big A on your head ?? Not gonna work. It won't be a rah-rah Cap'n America. My preference would be a hard ass type persona like a Burt Lancaster/ Kirk Douglas type tough guy of that era. Someone who embodies the IDEA of America. NO PRETTY BOYS! And some idiot poster thinks that Obama being in the white house will somehow determine the success of this character. I hardly see Cap endorsing an idiot politician or political party.
Oh god, we're not going to start politicizing Captain America by blindambition238	Jun 13th, 2008 12:27:20 PM
I think Cap would be pretty annoyed at both sides of the fence(s).

Just like that crap with Superman Returns.. by MJAYACE	Jun 13th, 2008 01:10:38 PM
"Truth, Justice, and... all that stuff" or whatever they said, Marvel and directors had better not wuss out and make Captain America, Captain Cool or something and turn his suit green and brown (to be one with nature) and he doesn't whoop ass now, becasue he is a nice guy and in touch with his inner Martha Stewart. Politically correct BS... Who cares if he was orignally propoganda man for the US, he is a frigging American character! I hate that it has become uncool to be proud of your country and what it does/stand for.... The US, problems and all, still does a lot of good in the world. The world may need the US and its ideology more then ever as it appears Russia and China are heading faster and faster down the hardline road. Putin is swiftly consolidating power under the pretense of economic boom driven through oil wealth. Just watch, they will shut down all progress Russia had made towards democracy in a matter of five years. In China there was a great article recently about how the youth of today don't even know or are not taught about Tienamen Square. Ouch....
Cap movie should end with him being reawakened in the present by finky089	Jun 13th, 2008 01:14:34 PM
I know it's been said in TBs before, but I really dig the idea that the Cap solo movie should be set during WWII, but end with Cap being frozen in ice while pursuing the Red Skull. The world would be saved, but Cap would be gone until.....the very end of the credits we see he is reawakened and greeted by Nick Fury who invites him to join his "new team".

Captain in WW2 by brattyben	Jun 13th, 2008 01:25:21 PM
I think he probably means stylistically, it won't look like a WW2 film. Being a superhero movie, it'll probably have some glitz and glamor that you wouldn't see in a traditional period piece. But, who knows. Cap and WW2 go together like Mountain Dew and Hot Pockets!!

With a shotgun, dip in his mouth, and a confederate flag hat in by MJAYACE	Jun 13th, 2008 01:30:45 PM
Oh, and he will be riding in a swamp boat or tricked out 4x4. Actually, more fitting than Bruce Springsteen (Born in the USA was not actually written to be patriotic) would be Lee Greenwood. How come asking if they could keep the material close to the source and not PC'ify it, automatically associates comments about being a redneck hillbilly stereotype (since I am assuming you were being sarcastic)... Sigh...

Captain Canuck! by Demode	Jun 13th, 2008 02:02:00 PM
I'm Canadian, and I can't wait for Captain America to come out. Just because his name is "Captain America" doesn't mean its going to be a propaganda film. There is nothing wrong with him standing for "truth, justice, and the American way." People everywhere are going to flock to see it, regardless of what country they are from.

We need a contemporary black-rubber wearing Cap... by Darth_Inedible	Jun 13th, 2008 02:53:01 PM
After spending the past 18 years frozen inside a capped oil well after a freak accident during Gulf War One a cranky CAPTAIN AMERICA returns to a country still at war in the Middle East. Cap tosses out his patriotic underoos and shield for a more era-appropriate black rubber suit, which he wears while furiously blogging about Global Warming and Bush's complicity with 9/11.

You just know Gale and Kevin have some names in mind. I wonder what there short list is. Note to Marvel: Just avoid Brad Pitt at all costs. I think he's great...but please don't go there.

Something about the WWII comment by deaddovedontoeat	Jun 13th, 2008 06:35:53 PM
Worried me. It struck me as an across the universe idea, paying tribute but not being accurate to an era. I really hope I'm totally wrong, but it just reminds me of that movie for some reason.

And I Don't Think It Will Be a Surprise... by Playhouse	Jun 13th, 2008 09:10:19 PM
To anyone that they'll model the movie Cap suit on the Ultimates version rather than the traditional 616 model.
I Cast My Vote.. by Playhouse	Jun 13th, 2008 09:13:36 PM
For the movie to be set entirely in WWII, ending with the attempted rocket disarming, Bucky's apparent death and Cap being frozen in the Arctic. Then the very end of the movie or the after-credits pinch can be Stark, Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. finding the Cap-sicle to set up the Avengers movie.
Union Jack by Playhouse	Jun 13th, 2008 09:22:49 PM
And whoever mentioned including Union Jack is on to a great idea. Have it really be about the war effort and stopping the Nazi threat, which is then personified in the Red Skull and some type of threat that only Cap, Bucky, Union Jack and some other members of their team (not necessarily the Invaders because you'd have to explain Namor and the pre-Vision android Human Torch) can handle.
Ok, here is what I hate by therobcat	Jun 13th, 2008 09:36:38 PM
We don't have to "forget" about the previous films when a reboot happens. More than one version of one thing can exist. We can keep track of it! Comic fans especially are used to the most severe kinds of revamps and retcons. Just because I love Nolan's stuff doesn't mean I forgot that i also love the Burton stuff. Thats fucking crazy. It's more like Coke wants you to forget Pepsi. Bloody hell. I'm taking my complaint to the Law Offices of Shutup and Dealwithit

cap is silly by cloudrider`	Jun 14th, 2008 08:35:45 AM
even in comic books. american flags as costume? shield as weapon of choice? and with big white star on it? and dont even start with that target practice gigantic capital 'A' on his forehead. it's just a lame corny concept from birth. and with superhero, concept is everything. sure, supes wear red underwears on the outside, and batman is well... a man dressed as a bat. but cap... aah wtf am i talking about? one looks no sillier than the others. go ahead, put that A on his forehead.

Saw the Hulk tonight. Yeah. Yeah, that's about what I was expecting! And I wasn't disappointed. I get the things that Capone bitches about....I'm going to rebut him over on his thread. I'm stating for the record that THEY MUST DO WHATEVER FAVS AND DOWNEY WANT TO GET THEM ON BOARD. ANYTHING. THIS IS LIKE THE HOBBIT...IT WON'T WORK OTHERWISE. Sorry, big typing in the hopes they'll read it.
they are pussies if they don't do it Private Ryan style by chien_sale	Jun 15th, 2008 02:02:04 AM
that's exactly what would make it cool, seeing this Sentinel of liberty fighting in this battaillon.
also about the dude that said Cap in WW2 should be like Jones... by chien_sale	Jun 15th, 2008 02:17:31 AM
well I think now to make it great we should really see what it would be like having a man with a shield in the field with guys with bayonettes. Especially seeing it how it should be done. How this could be possible. Because an Indiana Jone-type super-hero movie in WW2 would be the Rocketeer take 2 and that was way too campy. Plus those movies brush over reality way too much. I was watching Last crusade the other day and it's always wink wink "we know it's impossible but so what it's fun, bare with us". I believe it's easier doing that when you have a fairly realistic setting such as an archeoligist with a whip. But when you have somebody in tight and you brush over realism then it becomes weak, it ends up like the Phantom. And Captain America deserve more than that. We should really see why he was such a legend, why he was so great. Do it real, show us how could this super-powered mother fucker with a super-shield could achieve this on the battlefield. And you know what? After doing this Private Ryan thing; after Cap has gone through Hell, fell in the ice-cold sea and has woken in the Avengers movie, you could have Captain America 2. And THEN you could pull back and see what Cap has been involved in in WW2. Maybe he had other missions where he fought super-villains. And there you could have Cap-as-Indiana.

Just don't call it "Captain America: The First Avenger" by ZeroCorpse	Jun 15th, 2008 03:24:53 PM
Because, really, that's a shitty title. "Captain America: Avenger" is better, but only slightly. "Captain America: The Super Soldier" might be acceptable. But you know, there's nothing wrong with "Captain America" on its own.
