Captain America the First Avenger: First Vengeance

[angel-inoshi.livejournal.com]

 I thought I would post this here on the comm so that people can check it out.  Apparently Marvel is adding to the hype of Cap's movie by debuting a digital comicbook tie-in which will be available to DL (the first part anyways) at CaptainAmerica.com during Superbowl Sunday.  It's also supposed to give in clues how it ties into Ironman 2 and Thor.  You can take a look at the 2 page preview Over Here
Hmm, my first impression is Ultimate Cap [grins] but the...thought bubble...made me laugh and go maybe not.

I am so excited by this movie. the preview is the only reason I'm watching the super bowl.
Thanks so much for the link :)

Quick question, I don't suppose you'd be willing to post this info at wingheads it's a Cap specific com, and movie news like this would be awesome!

[angel-inoshi.livejournal.com]

sure I can post at the other comm [salutes]

I thought we were fighting the Nazis in WWII. Oh well.

I really like the cover art. That's the best picture of that uniform I've seen so far.

The couple I saw in Empire recently where a lot better than some of the previous stills. (Posting because I have them on hand. You may have seen them.)

[valtyr]

eeee SO EXCITE

omg look at him

Imma buy this, I haven't bought a magazine in like, three years or something

There had better be POSTERS

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

I went to Barnes and Noble yesterday looking for it, then realized it was still the 31st, and "March" magazines wouldn't come out until today. D:

You guys, I am so stupidly excited. You guys. You GUYS.

Did I tell you that movie!Steve is my desktop on my work computer? It's pure awesome. What's that, there's an angry patient on the phone? NIH is yelling at us again? You want me to create a mathematically impossible schedule? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over AMERICA.

You want me to create a mathematically impossible schedule? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over AMERICA..

A+




I wonder if Captain America will request his shield back from Stephen; you know, for the movie.

If someone from the movie comes on the show- if Chris Evans comes on the show and they do a bit around that, it is possible that I might die from an overdose of happiness.

(As it is, I'm kind of glad I don't have a Super Bowl party to go to this weekend; I'm pretty sure when the movie commercial comes on I'm going to make a series of embarrassingly high-pitched sounds and start vibrating in place on the couch. EEEEEEEEEEE.)

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

I am so incredibly anxious about that trailer. Isn't that silly? XD

I just want so bad for this movie to be good, to validate the faith I had when the casting was announced. (Also, the severe lack of ANYTHING relating to the movie is driving me nuts. Not even a single picture of Sebastian Stan as Bucky!)

[misswalstra.livejournal.com]

Found two for you :D

I saw those over at ONTD yesterday; appropriate shit was lost. ajfksj;jsfkas

(But thank you! And you get a gold star!)

[misswalstra.livejournal.com]

Yay! Gold star! *sticks to mirror*

-points up-

What he said.

[garrideb.livejournal.com]

Wait, are those sound effects in Cap's narration boxes? I'm confused. Is Cap telling the reader what WWII sounds like?

[torilldusk.livejournal.com]

Movie!Cap is really Deadpool in disguise, obviously.

[angel-inoshi.livejournal.com]

That made me lol - and I love your toothless icon [pets it]

[garrideb.livejournal.com]

Ha! That would be an epic mindscrew.

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

If that's what Cap thinks, I wonder what's going through Tony's mind.

[jane-says.livejournal.com]

... actually you probably don't want to know

[valtyr]

ahaha I hope so <3

[savemoony.livejournal.com]

Hmm, my first impression is Ultimate Cap [grins] but the...thought bubble...made me laugh and go maybe not.

Yeah, see, I read that and panicked. I want Ultimate Cap as far away from this venture as possible.

[angel-inoshi.livejournal.com]

I'm with you - Steve better have 616's personality or I'm going to be sad D8 because...1610 Cap really just doesn't come across as Steve to me. Ultimate Cap reminds me of what I think Marvel is trying to make 616 Commander Rogers into...imo.

[fictivore.livejournal.com]

(at current Steve canon, that is...)

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

From everything we've seen, it looks like style-wise they're going for Ultimates, but personality wise (at least with Steve) it seems pretty 616 -- at least from CE's comments about the character, the way he plays him, etc.

[fictivore.livejournal.com]

Seems like the best possible combo to me! :D 616!Cap may be an absolute sweetheart, but uhhh... those wings looks MUCH better when they're painted on, am I right? ¬_¬;

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

Yeeeah. The entire costume is a bit much. Those boots? Lordy. I don't mind an upgrade. I'm curious to see what he gets to don in The Avengers.

[fictivore.livejournal.com]

I just had an idea? And now I so want to see this in any of the upcoming movies, even if as a DVD extra or gag reel or something!

Steve being the dorky art student is touching-up/designing his own costume (preferably when he gets defrosted for the Avengers) and he puts in the ACTUAL wings- like in 616! And then everyone (preferably including Tony) is o_O at him but it breaks all the 'AWE' feeling going around and then they make fun of him!!! And *RDJ!Tony* makes fun of him! And Steve is all-- *pouts*! *is dead of over-imagination*

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN, JOSS.

Tony would laugh, and then design him a new suit with a jetpack. Steve would accept the suit, but kindly decline the jetpack. Tony would then pout for about an hour.(Doesn't Howard have something to do with the design of Cap's suit in this movie?)

[fictivore.livejournal.com]

YES! HOW DO WE LET HIM KNOW?! (But if we do, he'll probably just do something completely contrary... D: Because he's *Joss*!

Oh? What *is* Howard's role in this movie exactly? I thought he was going to be actively involved in the SSS project itself? (I just hope there is not the teensiest tiniest microscopic-est bit of Ho Yay b/w Steve and Howard, because if there is I really will puke forever... DDDD:)

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

I don't remember if he was involved in the serum program... that or helping the OSS (early SHIELD) during the War. There's been so little info about this movie. Gah. I do remember reading that he'll have a hand in Steve's improved shield. (Hopefully Tony can upgrade it more in current times.) And I really do feel like there was mention of Howard in some interview helping Steve update the costume. Like Steve does a bit of propaganda in the more traditional suit, but thinks it's sort of silly looking and not practical for a soldier -- and then Howard gets involved to upgrade it.

I want Howard to be a cocky asshole... but not in a lovable way. (To better differentiate him from Tony.) I also want Steve to comment on his drinking.

[fictivore.livejournal.com]

Yes, I *want* Howard to be an unrepentant asshole as well. That's like the first rule of the multi-verse - Howard Stark must be an asshole and f*ck up Tony's childhood. Even Marvel Adventures wasn't immune from Howard the asshole! And did you *read* the most recent SHIELD issue? *shales head*

IM: Armored Adventures failed to engage me as much as it *could* have because of St. Howard. But now we have hints that pre-Tony (and possibly pre-Maria's death) toon!Howard might have been an asshole as well, so I like it better now. ;)

[misswalstra.livejournal.com]

Found this, from the actor Dominic Cooper:

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

That last question is all sorts of ridiculous. Yes. Tony was born in like 1940.

[misswalstra.livejournal.com]

He looks amazing for 70!

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

He moisturizes.

[alterai.livejournal.com]

Can't wait!

[noises only bats can hear]

[tsukinofaerii.livejournal.com]

I still think those straps look ridiculous, Marvel is missing an obvious thing by having it out on July 22 and you cannot have a WWII movie without Nazis... but... SHINY. (flail)

I would like to know why Cap has a parachute though. :( Clearly they did not take that from Ults.

Re: [noises only bats can hear]

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

I can understand the parachute though. It's a little too comic-booky and physics-defying to just have him dropping like that.

Re: [noises only bats can hear]

[tsukinofaerii.livejournal.com]

SHHH. Don't interrupt my whining with your silly logic. :P

I did think that was one of the more awesome parts about Ults though. Cap likes dropping out of things and going SMASH. Because of this parachute business, we will never get to see him drop a tank on Hulk. :(

Re: [noises only bats can hear]

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

I don't remember the tank bit in Ultimates. (Then again, I'm very sleepy.) Steve is strong enough to lift a tank? o.O

Re: [noises only bats can hear]

[tsukinofaerii.livejournal.com]

lol He doesn't throw it. :D When Banner Hulks out in New York, they airdrop a tank on him with Cap in it. If they're saying that skydiving without a parachute is unrealistic (it's not (http://adventure.howstuffworks.com/question729.htm), but it's not fun for regular humans), then I doubt they'll do that.

Re: [noises only bats can hear]

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

Hah! A+ on the HowStuffWorks link.

Maybe Cap can drop the tank on Hulk, ride it halfway down, then hang-glide the rest of the way.

Re: [noises only bats can hear]

[schala-kid.livejournal.com]

From what I've heard they can't get July 4th because Transformers got that day.
