Captain America: News and Speculation XI

[Crimson King]

CE: "Have you seen Hemsworth? He's seven feet tall, wide as a truck... I mean, he IS Thor. Perfect casting."

[Suzanne78]

According to the talk show schedules, it looks like Haley's the only CA star making appearances next week. Nothing about Chris going on The Colbert Report either, which I desperately wanted to see!

[RedSkull]

I wanted to see some Hugo Weaving appearances. damn.

[Crimson King]

Okay, just to summarize that MTV video:

- Chris is still very uncomfortable being in the spotlight
- He really wants to direct and hopes big movies like this will let him do so one day
- Signed for six movies
- Loves what's happening on Avengers so far. Says if there's a problem in dialog, Whedon comes back in ten minutes with seven different choices and all are great
- Says Avengers suit is great as far as movement goes (and that it's very modern) but he had to get used to the cowl as opposed to a helmet
- Sings showtunes in the shower
- Would do FF3 because he loved those movies
- Thinks Iron Man would beat Cap in a fight
- Says he used the Mythos books to prepare for Cap's origin
- Confirmed that part of his story in Avengers deals with acclimating himself to the modern world
- Won't confirm Bucky for future movies but does say a Winter Soldier story would be great
- Says he felt pressure to live up to the other great actors and actresses in the film, such as Tucci and Jones

I think that's about it.

What a fan.

[Crimson King]

In his defense, he seemed kinda bummed to say it

[RedSkull]

Doesnt cap fight thor in civil war?

[Crimson King]

Maybe, I can't remember. If he did, wasn't it one cloned by Reed Richards?

[Iceman]

Cap's speed, agility & shield throwing from that clip look great! Outfit also looks much better in motion.

What about yesterday?

whoa left for work and there was nothing goin on came back and there was a Cap explosion! lol. i told myself i wouldnt watch anymore clips but ive got to check out that shield fight. and if guys are flying all over the place during it, id say they definately made Cap strong enough. lol. almost sounds closer to Ultimate Cap strength levels but we,ll see soon enough...like in about a week!!!!!! lol

[Liam_H]

Iono if anyone has discussed this but the clip where Cap finds the shield for the first time and Carter "tests" it out for him. Isn't she basically pissed at him for kissing that blonde chick we've seen that goes something like "women of America owe you thanks"?
I mean its clear from the footage that Carter and Cap spend quite an amount of time with each other before he gets the serum. So by that point she has some sort of affection for him and seeing him kiss another girl pisses her off. So she literally shoots him to take out her anger. It seems thats what happens when they're in the same place with same clothes etc. Thats just what I think, iono about anybody else.

I think this was revealed back when SHH (or someone else) had mentioned seeing like 20 minutes worth of footage of CA, and based on what they saw, your speculation is valid since that was what was shown in the footage (in larger detail of course).

Thanks for confirming, when I saw that blonde coming onto Cap I instantly thought...That's why she is so pissed.

That's why I dislike that scene. "Oh, I'm jealous that Steve kissed a woman even though we're not actually going out. I'm going to shoot him at close range in a small room and hope that he is fast enough to use that experimental shield"

It just makes her look petty and irresponsible. And the irony is that it' supposed to make her look strong.

Well it still depends on the context of the scene and how it fits in with everything else she does. I easily see her in the movie as this hard nose woman who wants to prove to the men she can fight alongside with them. She's not a woman who waits at home for the men to come home. I don't know anything about Peggy Carter from the comics so this is all just out of my head.

And she then meets skinny Steve Rogers and falls for who he is when shes surrounded by a bunch of other much appealing soldiers.

Personal opinion here because I love the Potter series. Yes we can be as ignorantly defensive as the Twilight fans. But to me at least the Potter franchise offers something great while the Twilight series just offers wet dreams about sparking vampires. So basically ignore them.

[Punisher_MAX]

oh trust me while i think Potter is a better written book i enjoyed it about as much as Twilight. What irks me is that HP fans did the same crap and do the same crap many Twihards do. its just frustrating.

Really enjoyed the Potter books as much as the Twilight ones? Ouch, that hurts. But still rabid fan bases can be just as bad as any others. Potter, LOTR, Twilight, Star Wars etc. Its best to keep in mind that we are not all that bad and that some of us do realize not everyone loves what we love.

And that, Gentlemen, is why you shouldn't allow women in the CIA!


Also, regarding Potter, I'll never understand the defensiveness of the Potter fans, because as a long time Potter reader I can't stand the movie, yet for most fans they seem to like anything and everything Potter related... That's fandom gone mad! No TRUE fan would LIKE everything :P

Well there you go. I mean I'm sure you heard some people state HP is the next Star Wars. And certain Star Wars fans have been up in arms about that statement. They obviously wouldn't agree with that but they have to realize people love the HP series while they have the same love for Star Wars.
