There is a metric ton of squee to be had here (skinny little pre-serum Steve, "stay who you are...not just a soldier, but a good man", yes, DO WANT). You know what I'm going to concentrate on though? I love his little eyes over the shield at the end. That just seems like the perfect Steve-reaction- he's not going to say how shocked he is, because that would be impolite, but he is actually very shocked.
does anyone know why they're referring to him as the First Avenger? Is it just so people who only know about the movies will link him with The Avengers? Or are they just referring to him as the first one, after the fact? Because, I could be wrong but, I thought the term Avenger was coined while Steve was still frozen on ice. Idk, it's been bothering me.
Now, I'm super excited for the movie, but I was a little underwhelmed by the preview. There was a lot to squee over, but I think I was expecting a little more from a first preview that was airing during the superbowl.
Probably just to link him to the movie, since it's unlikely the Avengers Initiative will be started in WWII unless they're messing with canon more than they already have. Possibly just that he's the first to become a superhero, chronologically, and avenge... things...
Yeah, I had a feeling that was it, but it's been driving me crazy. I don't like the idea of everyone thinking he was the ~first avenger~ when he really wasn't. Urg. Whatever. lol, I'm just being silly.
I am hoping it is good. At least, minus the cleft chin, Chris Evans looks the part. And he looked like he buffed up for it. :D Not too thrilled with the random female addition- but hey, romance sells these days.
I hope the First Avenger is just to link him to the movie. But I also think it's just because he was the first superhero (I guess) and thats what they mean by Avenger.
It was really sad, only my fiance and I knew who Captain America was. And my fiance's mother. But it was great, she was like "Well, I know what we're getting Bonnie for her birthday, tickets to see that movie." and I was like Yaaaay! :D
Erm... depends on the canon? She is in the Lee stuff. She's an American fighting with the French resistance, who has an affair with Steve though they never know each other's names.. Then Englehart in his infinite skeeviness made this whole plot about how she was so stricken by hearing about Steve being lost at sea that she fell into a coma for twenty years, only waking up when he revived. Then she sort of stalked him, and was mocked by everyone for going after a younger man. After Englehart #$#!ing finally left the title, she was back on more of an even keel, and ended up running the SHIELD staff that worked with the Avengers.
In a more modern retcon by Brubaker, she continued to fight through and after the war, and the coma was retconned out.
LOL. I've been asking this too! Esp cause SLJ's supposed to make a cameo. And I know in EMH's they explain it as "Jack Fury" was in the HC, but even then, I don't see Jack. I need my Dum Dum and Fury.
