First Avenger: Captain America movie

Dum Dum Dugan favoring the shotgun the whole movie.

Not that I’m in mad Dr. B homo-love with Ed Norton or nuthin’, but I think on the erect penis scale, he’s being the least penis-y compared to all the other players involved in that travesty of a fractured Incredible Hulk movie.

I loved this movie. I was expecting it to be worse than Thor from the trailers but Joe Johnson Junior Shabadoo did a good job directing. HUGO WEAVING did a great job too. Anyone else in that role would’ve been too cheesy or too dark. Great casting for the rest as well. I was the only one laughing out loud in the theaters when Arnim Zola first showed up because that’s exactly the actor I was thinking of.

NO HOMO, but jesus christ on a bike, how yoked was Chris Evans in this movie? When I was a kid I accepted the fact that hollywood actors will never ever have Superhero physiques on the big screen but Cap and Thor were goddamn specimens. It was cute when Sharon Carter couldn’t help herself that she had to touch his pecs.

Sharon Carter wasn’t a stunner but damn does she grow on you as you watch more of her on screen.

I was surprised Stark sr. had so much screen time. I thought it was just going to be a cameo but it turned out he was a major player.

Bucky is a lot older and darker than in the comic books which leads me to think they are setting him up to be in the Cap sequel to be you-know-who

Totally hyped up about the Avengers now. I have total faith in Joss Whedon after he wrote Astonishing X-men. Mark Ruffallo is a solid choice for Banner, he’s a totally underrated actor.

Also the thing I liked the most about this movie was thinking about the DC execs reaction to another successful Marvel movie. LOL. Green Lantern 2 has been green lit already despite the bad reviews and bad numbers so good luck to DC and your shitty characters. :thumbs up:

Few things I would’ve liked:

  • Cap training montage after the serum
  • Showing cap giving DEM STRATEGIES instead of the comic-book style HIT HIM HIGH, HIT EM LOW bullshit. I don’t really blame the director as it was NEVER shown in the comic books ever either. It was just always mentioned in the trading cards and implied. lazy comic book writers…
  • The howling commandos were a little undercooked. “I’m from Fresno” and “I went to Harvard” isn’t character development.

PS.
Cap didn’t get the chance to tap that british ass so Cap is still a virgin! Had to take that energy out on that punching bag.

^Sheng-Long, the actress is Hayley Atwell and boy did she fill out that red dress!

BTW, was anyone else kind of terrified by the beam weapons in the movie? The fact that they disintegrated you skin, bones and all (until my theory that they just teleported people) made those war scenes kind of scary. That’s a crappy way to go.

Sucks that all they need to do is take the fights from the first one and combine it with the plot of the second one. Oh well. I can’t wait till they try to reboot it again and it’s dumb in it’s own way again.

Yeah that was scary to me too.

Ok i finally looked up the chick, she was in Pillars of the Earth that i watch a couple months ago…

What are you talking about? There are plenty of sistas with meat on their bones. I do think that white woman look prettier in 40s hair and attire and black women look better in 70s hair and attire.

Yeah, that’s what I meant. I know he gets trained early on, when that bully is picking on him and shit, right before the super soldier shit. But after he gets his powers, it would make sense. I liked how he ran through a window, not knowing how fast he could run. Even a five minute montage of him at a gym testing out his new powers, would have made sense

Yeah, I kinda am leaning towards that, but I just find it hard to believe the US army got nothing out of it, and SHIELD is hiding tanks that can explode buildings for a rainy day.

also, dunno if this deserves a spoiler but:

Spoiler

So I take it that you can kinda assume that the Iron Man suit is technically Asgardian in nature? The power supply is based off of the Ark technology, which is based off of the Cosmic Cube, which is Asgardian apparently in this movie…

edit:

She still owes him a dance, and I hope and pray he gets that dance in Avengers.

And yeah, after repeat viewings, they let the Howling Commando’s down. If you didn’t know who they were, you never would have figured they meant anything at all. Hell, Doogan doesn’t even get called Dum Dum (speaking of which, can anybody familiar with the comics tell me how Marvel explained how Dum Dum was alive during WWII and still alive now?)

also, they passed off Vibranium too easily. “Lighter and stronger than steel” doesn’t quite cut it, especially for something that puts adamantium to shame. Hell, at least they could have made mention of Wakanda

I meant in respect to these kinds of movies not real life.

The producers actually wanted her to lose more weight than presented in the film and she flat-out refused. Most period films I’ve seen have modern supermodels as their “pinup girls” which is laughable when you’ve seen how real models looked back then. Marilyn Monroe wasn’t a size 2.

Bones are sexxxxy

anybody else find it odd that:

Spoiler

The bombs Red Skull makes to drop on major US cities, are spelled in English rather than German?

naaah, cuz he lost the views he shared with hitler

Dum Dum I think had some of that Nick Furry serum

lmao, that chick is like 100 at least 90, haha

they said that vibramium disburses energy or something
it doesn’t put adamantium to shame, just works different
Vib is sharper but can’t necessarily cut through adamantium its a werid ratio you’d have to make

Man those guys are banking on Batman to save the day for them yet again. They’re fucked.

pffft, he still thought he was the superior race, and hated americans. Made no sense to have english/american city names on them

do go on…I also dunno much about Nick Fury, with reference to his never ending life, and how/why/when he became black.

Yeah, its hard, given the circumstances, but they can pull it off. Just claim she was 20 in the Cap movie, they claimed “almost” 70 years, and u have no definitive year when Cap froze, but it ain’t hard to allow him to see her at an old age home, and have one dance before she dies, and passes on some great message to Cap. Seriously, if this doesn’t happen in Avengers (or at the VERY least, Captain America 2: Americaner), I will be disappoint.

they said it absorbs vibrations, and that it was 3 times lighter than steel and stronger…that was it. The actual Cap shield is Vibranium laced with Adamantium (although in Ultimate, which all of the movies seem to be based off of, its pure adamantium). I ain’t a fucking scholar of Marvel metals, but vibranium liquifies other metals according to the history of it, including adamantium. In fact, the dude who created adamantium (or learned how to forge with it) was trying to make vibranium, and considered adamantium to be a failure in comparison.

But then it gets weird cuz of shit like Adamantium being unable to be destroyed by physical force, or the fact there are two types of vibranium (true vibranium and anti-metal I think), and some characters have fucked with both types:

Adamantium: Hulk’s snapped it in anger, Thor slagged Wolverine, Doctor Strange transmuted it into paper and ripped it apart, and Hank Pym melted Ultron WITH VIBRANIUM

Vibranium tends to get destroyed only by God’s and other powerful beings (Molecule Man destroyed pretty much every major hero tool).

Ultimate Origins explained Nick Fury’s history. I wish he was in this movie though but it would most definitely conflict with his history considering he was the very first one to get the serum before Cap did in the Ultimate comics.

ahhhh…yeah, I googled around a bit, and found a bit of that info. Gonna have to read that series, once I finish with some DC related readings (mainly The Nail, and Kingdom Come). I wonder if they’ll use that at all, during the Avengers movie. I can’t see Sam “Nick Fury” Jackson being a behind the desk kinda guy, yet I also can’t see him taking on super-villains the likes of which the Avengers will have to deal with. Hell, even Black Widow seems outgunned in the Avengers, and I wonder how she will be able to do anything besides take out Z-Tier Skrulls

The bomb was meant for Americans not Germans. lol although i guess the bombs US dropped on Iraq and Germany should’ve had been Arabic and German as well.

oh, i know…my point being that they were BUILT by germans, and LABELLED by germans, it just made no sense to have the lettering and names in english. I know its a moot point, but it still REALLY stood out for me. Bombs dropped in Iraq and Germany wouldn’t have been written in Iraqi and German, they would have been labelled according to the language spoken by the bomb droppers (example: russians wouldn’t label bombs in other languages, they would just label them in russian…so why are GERMAN nazi hydra bombs covered in english? Hell why are they labelled so simply at all???)

last line of dialogue

Spoiler

Yeah…I just…I had a date

There is probably no better way to have ended that movie

I think movie studios don’t want to distant viewers by having things in a language that the viewer doesn’t understand.
