Another Interview Link: Captain America and The Starks

[fictivore.livejournal.com]

This one is a really interesting interview with the writers of Captain America about Steve and his relationship with the Starks. It seems most Marvel writers themselves are really really looking forward to seeing how the Cap and Tony relationship plays out in the Avengers. It looks more and more like that movie is going to be EPIC! \o/

Exclusive: The Captain America writers tell us about the conflict between Cap and Iron Man 

Favourite Quotes:

+   "What really fascinated me in the back of my head as we were writing it is that, OK, Steve is fighting alongside this guy [Howard], next year he's going to be fighting alongside his son, who is going to appear to actually be older than his father and older than Steve. None of that is in the movie [explicitly], but it's all extra gravy." 

+   "It's safe to say that in The Avengers they [Cap and Tony] certainly have friction."

             -(Haha, I know it's never going to be the really fun kind of friction, but the simply fun kind is okay too! ;D)

ENJOY!
(Goddammit, still have a *week* before they release the movie in my city. It's out in my country!!! Just not where I can watch it. >:[ )

Yeah! I'm thinking of initial slight personality clash which segues smoothly and immediately into snarky banter and teasing in the day-to-day life. The serious arguments only occur when it comes to plot-things which are *not* clearly cut into black-and-white or on *how* to achieve their common goals. (If they remove *this* aspect of their relationship, it won't really be *them*, ya?)

And UGH! Someone tell me the whole fondue thing! I have to wait a week for the movie still (and obviously don't mind being spoiled) and the constant references are driving me mad with curiosity! *begs*

I feel like an evil person for spoiling the fondue joke, but if you insist...

Warning for fondue spoilers after this point, which is the weirdest warning ever.

Howard Stark is hinted at to be something of a lady's man. So while flying a plane through German airspace and being shot at, he calmly asks Peggy if she'd like to go out for fondue. She doesn't answer him directly.

Later, a woman comes on to Steve and Peggy is jealous. Steve weakly retorts, "But what about you and Howard and... the fondue?" She looks at him like an idiot.

Cut to Howard Stark explaining, "Fondue is bread and cheese, my friend."

"But I thought... I don't understand."

"The minute you think you know what goes on inside a dame's head is when your goose is well and truly cooked."

I may be off in the exact wording. But it has set off an avalanche of fondue related jokes already because... Steve thought fondue was sexual innuendo. I'm not sure if that's a testament to the Stark ability to make things sound dirty or proof of Steve's obliviousness. Maybe both/

I'm going to go with both! Because the Starks can make anything sound dirty. But Steve is also charmingly oblivious to certain things. God, I loved that scene.

I loved Howard in general in that movie. The hamminess level was perfect.
