SoylentGreen:

LOL. But the idea is that the Cap movie takes place in ww2 and the Avengers movie is now. He's supposed to have a "modern" costume for the Avengers movie. But uh... that looks pretty modern...

Random Dude #2: Yay for Marvel jumping the shark again... still gonna see it though... You're still an asshole SoylentGreen... don't think this changes anything... top of my list and all that!

Random Dude #2: On another note... you wanna get outta here and come back to my place for some coffee?

NINJA: yeah, he's advance, but you look at the comic book and he was still dressed like a WWII Soldier pretty much. Apparently they're freezing him at the end of the Captain America, and finding him in the ice in Avengers. Which I think is the perfect way to do it.

And the fact that Sir Anthony Hopkins is going to be Odin is fuckin awesome!

SoylentGreen:

I see. I see what you did there.
Yeah Anthony Hopkins as Odin is awesome. Tommy Lee Jones in Captain America.
I don't think that Cap will jump the shark. The costume is confusing because yeah, thats a good point... it could very well be for the Avengers movie. But as its too modern for world war 2, its too world war 2 for modern.

NINJA: Indeed. What part is Tommy Lee Jones in Capt?

4 hours ago

SoylentGreen:

I'm not sure. But I think it's safe to say "some military dude".
Also, Sam Jackson.

DeistBrawler: By the way. If they really want to go WWII he should just be in a regular soldiers uniform. Don't you remember the 1990 Captain America movie? The Red Skull practically states that in Red, White, and Blue Cap is basically a walking target. Its not exactly what one would call camouflage. The Germans would look up and be like "Shit, shoot the colorful dude! Shoot him!"

Also, the guy they got to play Bucky isn't a bad actor either. Although I hope he got in some serious shape considering Bucky was supposed to be the best athletic soldier, thus the only one who was capable of being Caps sidekick.

SoylentGreen:

I loved the retcon for why Cap would wear something so gaudy back then in a battle field. That, since he was so one-of-a-kind and still intended on re-creating the serum, they didn't really want to put him in the battle field, but they needed to show him off so they made him kind of a U.S.O. thing with a fake back story originally. And then, somehow, he ended up in Normandy....... I'm sure there is a story for that

SoylentGreen: "That Girl's"

that stupid. If you were watching a movie about Elizabethan England and someone's carriage looked spot on as a land rover, you might, I'm assuming, raise an eye brow, correct?
But. Oh. It has something to do with a comic book. You win. Nerd. yeesh.

That Girl: @deist ..yes I do, my point is all adaptations are going to be modernized....I know Capt. America is a comic book. duh! As was Batman , Hulk, X-men ECT...all were changed to appeal to modern day audience.

DeistBrawler:

Batman is a comic book? I call bullshit. That motherfucker totally exists.

about an hour ago ·

SoylentGreen:

lol. But "that girl", while modernizing will obviously take place, the movie in question takes place during world war 2, so the costume seems a little too futuristic. It's not really much of a complaint, it's just interesting that they're going in that direction.
