First Avenger Cap's Transformation Scene

[Mr. Earle]

So how did they shoot the scenes before his transformation? Is it special effects or did Evans pull a Christian Bale?

Did you see how easily those supposed mental constraints broke so obviously fake

It's definitely special effects, ala Benjamin Button. I think asking Evans to slim down considerably in such a short time and for such a short part of the movie would be more than excessive. t:

This is the kind of question we want people to be asking because it means the effects are realistic looking and believable so thumbs up to the effects team on that

There's your Explanation

What really gets me is that he broke through metal so easily, yet when strapped to the missile he's completely immobilized. So bad. So so bad.

Thanks for the answer!

I'd like to see the scene play out like this..

He's in the tube and the power turns on.

Steve - "ZOMG! It burns! It burns!! Make it stop!! i'M DYING!!!! I can feel my skin melting off my body!! WHYY!! WHYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey...this feels kind of....AHHHH!!! NO! IT'S KILLING ME!"

And then the door opens.

Steve - "That wasn't so bad."

 

[Hurm...]

That is an interesting take. There were rumors that Nicholas Cage was on set during the filming of the transformation scene, giving Evans tips on portraying a character going through immense amounts of pain...

LOL!!! I remember that scene.

 

[Alchemyst]

my God....Red Skull tied this dude to a rocket and start talkin **** to him, Cap grabbed his arm, and the best thing Red Skull could do was cut his own hand off!?!?!?! Why not jus stab Cap in the chest for cryin out loud???

It's also funny that the gun that the guy used to shoot that scientist during the transformation scene is a beretta that wasn't manufactured until 1970.

I'm just hoping that the presentational aspect of the transformation isn't skipped over. It's a dramatic moment, I'd like to see it built up a bit. A bit of theatrics if you will, especially up until the moment the machine is turned on.

I'm pretty sure there will be quite a bit of build up to it, it is a pivotal moment in Steve Rogers' life.

Excellent point. I was actually shocked at the huge contrast between pre-and-post serum Rogers. Definitely looks good though. I think the bobblehead complains I've seen stirring are simply because they're so used to seeing Evans in his usual enormous shape.

Thanks for the answer!

My pleasure!

Something just dawned on me...and everyone else probably already figured it out. :P So, the maker the SSS is killed. Which means the only way to make a STABLE SSS is gone with him. That doesn't keep the government from keeping unstable copies of it in cold storage. In The Incredible Hulk we see the General give Blonsky the SSS.

Obviously, the General must have known how unstable the SSS was and how it would likely effect him in a very bad way, but out of desperation for wanting The Hulk, he did it anyway. Proving just how obsessed he was with capturing The Hulk.

I'm slow...I just now realized his desperation after reading about Cap.

Probably the reason why General Ross told him if he starts flipping out, he was pulling him out of the mission. And also later on in the film, Blonsky's appearance started to go downhill as if he was becoming sick.

Haha, that was awesome ... in a "fun bad" sort of way.

Hail Hitler! Blam! Blam! Blam!

Good stuff

lol. I love the way he goes to shake hands and essentially goes "Psyke! Heil Hitler!" *Bang*

Scenes like that instantly turn a film into comedy all the way through

I never thought anything of that scene when I was a kid, but watching it now....hilarious.

Exactly - The only thing missing was him extending his hand, pulling it away quickly, followed by running his hand through his hair and then screaming Heil Hitler!
