Pretty good. If I were to nitpick though, I say the wings should have be painted on the helmet.

Yep, looks like Captain America.

Looks better than most depictions I've seen.

I still find it really odd that he's being played by the guy that played The Human Torch in the Fantastic 4 films.

Yea, thats a shame, means they've discontinued the fantastic 4 cast and wont be using them in the Avengers. Sucks, I personally adores the F4 films

The costume is pretty awesome

Captain America... possibly the lamest super hero ever.
Talk about cashing in on patriotism.

Hey! That's my favorite Marvel superhero! I played him in all the fighting games

I played him in the Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1, he was pretty damn good in that. I can't stand him as a character though, and in the second game he was a poor to play as anyway, plus... he talked.

The Fantastic Four series has been confirmed to be getting the 'reboot' treatment ala The Hulk and soon to be Spider-Man. If there's any chance of the Fantastic Four appearing in any of the proposed Avengers movies it'll be from the new continuity. I think it'd be funny if they had a little scene like Danny Glover and Mel Gibson had in Maverick.

I'm glad they went with a design that's closer to Ultimates Cap rather than the original. Although I wish it looked a little less refined.

How many times are they going to reboot this stuff?? Until they do each one with a real writer/directer/producer or something?

Until they get it right.

Which as of late, they've been getting it pretty right.

Agreed. Something tells me that they'll never stop rebooting though, there'll be another batman within a decade, I'd put money on it.

There's no difference between rebooting a movie series, and starting a new run of a comic with different writers and artists.

Oh absolutely, only difference is the movie series reaches a wider audience, like to people who don't even know there are a dozen different versions of spiderman etc

Yeah, I mean... there have been like 20+ runs of Spiderman alone... And people are all "oh my GOD! they're rebooting the movie series?"

Get over it, people. We all know what happens when a movie series goes on too long. Look at Police Academy.

Police Academy didn't go downhill, it started at the bottom and dug

Naked Gun then...

Yeah right, Police Academy and Police Academy 2 are awesome.

captain america looks like a homo

This is by far best depiction of the character that I've seen (by Sven Juhlin of the CGsociety):

YOU TAKE THAT BACK.

Oh, god. That crotch.

I can see the benefit to rebooting a series from time to time, but when you do it too frequently it give the appearance that the origin story is the only decent story in the franchise history. It's an insult to comic books that have 50+ years of story material to draw from.

IMO, it's too soon for Fantasic Four. Why can't the next director simply swap out actors and change story tone, but continue to move the series forward?

men have packages. get over it

Because that worked so great with Superman Returns. Which is also getting a reboot.

Films usually get away with changing out actors for supporting roles but FF has four lead roles and changing them all is instantly going to impede audience recognition that they're watching a sequel. Imagine if MGM tried to make some sort of continuity between all the Bond movies. It'd be a nightmare.

If they're going to change out the lead roles, why even bother keeping continuity with the previous movies? They'll only have to make sure that all the new audience members know what's happened previously but also do it in a way that isn't going to annoy the watchers already familiar with the movies. That's a pain in the arse and leads to bull**** wall-of-text intros like Underworld Evolution. (no not star wars shut up you idiot)

Plus it's just going to get in the way of the story telling. Everything's going to be compared to the previous stories. The continuity can either be adhered to, which could lead to the series trying to outgrow itself and running into a corner (see: X-Men 3, Spider-Man 3, Superman Returns [kind of], Terminator 3, a lot of other part-3 movies) or it can be casually referenced (or completely ignored) and ultimately cock everything up (see: Origins: Wolverine, Schumacher's Batman movies, probably other movies I'm trying to forget exist).

Throwing out the old continuity opens up everything. The tone of the movie can be completely different (Batman Begins), visually and thematically it can be fresh (The Incredible Hulk) and there's no nagging restrictions to hold things back. The film can just get on with it and tell its goddamn story.


fyi Ang Lee's Hulk was a Bruce Banner origin story. Louis Leterrier's The Incredible Hulk is a Hulk origin story. Think about it.

All I'm saying it that it's slightly Bowie-esque.

That is an altogether disgusting representation of Captain America. Why does he look like a senior citizen?

I hate just about every part of that image.

I'm not really a fan of Capt. America... Does he even have any super powers? Taxation without representation perhaps?

Captain America does not technically have any super powers. The Super Soldier Serum he was injected with was supposed to grant super-human abilities to the recipient but because Cap was so weak and pathetic it just transformed him into a "perfect" man. That is, a man at the peak of physical performance. The only ability he has that is 'super-human' that his metabolic process prevents his muscles from becoming fatigued.

And he can still keep up with the likes of some alcoholic in a metal suit, a big angry green fella and a goddamn Norse god. Cap is awesome.

Well thats.... not cool at all. He's basically a roided up athlete then. Or a better version (scientifically) of Bane.

I always liked Spider-Man the best, too bad the movies ruined him.

I think his helmet looks Nazi-esque. Other than that, he looks awesome. The shield alone gives me goosebumps.

No. There's really quite a lot more depth to his character presented throughout the comics but as far as his physiology goes he is just a really healthy, althetic man. Had the Super Soldier Serum been injected into a regular man it might've been something akin to Bane. You've got to understand this was some pretty *****-ass serum and Cap was so sickly, weak and frail that the best it did for him was transform him into an above-average man.

So... what's with the shield?

also, hes really really good at that boomerang frisbee trick

It's made from an almost indestructible alloy that was accidently created by some scientist whose name I've forgotten. The alloy couldn't be replicated. Attempts to recreate the alloy led to the creation of adamantium, which is almost as strong as the shield.

The shield was given to him because bullets hurt, I guess. I'm actually not that familiar with Captain America trivia.

I don't know how they intend to work in Tony Stark's Cap shield seen in the Iron Man movies into the Captain America movie, or if they even will, considering the WWII setting and the fact that in the comics the shield and the material it was made from were constructed by other people. They'll probably get Cap out of the 40's the same way it was done in the Avengers comics - he was on a mission at the end of WWII, was on a plane when it exploded over the Arctic, got thrown into the water and was frozen in ice. He was thawed out in what was then the 70's and he survived because of the effects the Super Soldier Serum had on his metabolism.

Bane. lol

I dunno, I guess I take my superheroes a little more 'super'. Batman, for instance, to me, is not a superhero. He's a well equipped vigilante.

Captain America is a superhero, though.

The first super soldier serum given to Emil Blonsky in The Incredible Hulk is the same thing that was given to Captain America. Captain America also just has sweet armor and an indestructible shield.

Which is why Batman is my all-time favourite superhero.

What in the **** is wrong with you. Those movies were HORRIBLE.

My spelling is wrong.
