You guys don't know that he's being paraded around as a super-soldier in the USO Show, he could just be supposedly playing a goofy role in a dance number to everyone else.
 
and how is that any better.
How seriously would you take Bale if he's doing the Batusi in TDK suit????
 
It's already been established he hates the song and dance, I'm sure he'll be awkwardly fumbling around the stage in one scene played for laughs. This thing is being way blown out of proportion, like it's going to take up half the movie or something.
 
well Black Widow's costume in IM2 looks just like the one from the comics and you are making an assumption on Hawkeye's costume

It's the costume she wears now instead of her classic grey onesie outfit. They went with the costume that looks like a spy costume. You could place Black Widow in a spy film and it would make no difference. She's basically in a black leather outfit.

And I am assuming about Hawkeye's costume but if you're expecting something along the lines of his classic 616 outfit then you are going to be very, very disappointed I'm sure. I'm 99.99% sure we'll get something more along the lines of his Ultimates costume, which looks more like a spy outfit.

Exactly and considering how they are not casting the Avengers movie and no one is even directing it yet I dont think anyone can say they are 99.9% sure what costume Hawkeye will be in....if he ends up in the movie

Its still her costume from the comics...which was never very costumy to begin with

I don't get what you mean "exactly." Exactly, the picked the Black Widow outfit that looks more like a spy outfit? :huh: That proves my point about Cap needing an explanation for his costume because he's not going to fit in otherwise.

Exactly, I am assuming? I already admitted I am. But we know the universe that has been set up so far and I can be fairly confident if Hawkeye appears, he will not be wearing his classic comic costume. It wouldn't even really fit his character to decide to put on a colorful costume when no one else is wearing one. And if he doesn't appear then it still backs up my point. Cap won't fit in with the rest of the team without an adequate explanation for the costume.

That is the single coolest gun I've ever seen.

I don't see how that matters. We know the universe that has been set up so far and I can be fairly confident if Hawkeye appears, he will not be wearing his classic comic costume. It wouldn't even really fit his character to be decide to put on a colorful costume when no one else is wearing one. And if he doesn't appear then it still backs up my point.

I put exactly because you are assuming. Haweye may or maynot be in the movie. Things change all the time in movies. Beast was supposed to be in X-Men but got written out.
Black widow really only has two costumes, a black one and a grey one and they are the same except for the color.
Does Thor need an explanation since his armor isnt macthing with Iron Man's???
Does Black Widow's "spy costume" need an explanation since it doesnt match Iron Man's or Thor's????
If Hulk makes the team are they gonna explain why he only runs around in ripped pants????
You excuse doent make sense because no one elses costume or uniform matches up with anyone elses.

The director's quotes made it sound like, at least to me, that they were portraying him as a super-soldier in the show. In fact, that would be the entire reason he's there, to boost morale by showing to all the soldiers they have a superhero on their side. I dont know where people are getting this idea of him singing and dancing from.
 
the director said he would be singing and dancing

I already admitted that I was assuming, but I don't see why you're arguing this point when it has no bearing on the original argument.

If he doesn't appear, Cap doesn't fit in. If he does appear then he's more likely to wear a spy-like outfit and Cap doesn't fit in.

So Cap doesn't fit in either way. I don't see why you're getting hung up on me assuming Hawkeye will appear since it makes no difference anyway against what I'm arguing for.

Uh...no they're not. :huh:

One is a skin tight spandex onesie. The other is more like a normal leather spy outfit.

Does Thor need an explanation since his armor isnt macthing with Iron Man's???
Uh...Thor has an explanation. He's gonna have a whole movie showing him in Asgard and the movie is going to show the Asgardian way of dress. Thor then keeps that look when he comes to earth.

So yes. Is this a trick question or something? :huh:

Does Black Widow's "spy costume" need an explanation since it doesnt match Iron Man's or Thor's????
She's a spy so she wears a spy costume. :huh:

If Hulk makes the team are they gonna explain why he only runs around in ripped pants????
There is an explanation for that. His clothes rip when he transforms. :huh:

You excuse doent make sense because no one elses costume or uniform matches up with anyone elses.
I don't think I'm the one not making sense here. :huh:

Every character has a reason for their costume. Cap is the only one that doesn't, and his costume is the most like a traditional super hero costume. There is no practical reason for such a costume. He needs an explanation the most.

This is all conjecture.

So is half the stuff you believe about the movie, but you still believe it. You believe the USO idea is terrible, even though you know almost nothing about it.

They are showcasing him as Captain America, super soldier...why would it be hard to locate him???

As stated above, they might not portray him as a real super soldier. If they don't portray him as a real super soldier, the Nazi's won't go after him even if he is easy to locate him.

Oh, and by the way, your idea is all conjecture, because I don't recall Johnston ever mentioning that Steve Rogers was going to be portraying the real Captain America on stage.

no mention was made of them trying to reverse engineer from Steve or study him.

YET.

The general audience will believe if if its within the world that is presented. Did the GA question why Spider-man wore a costume???? Did they question the science behind Avatar???? Did they question why a ring turns Frodo invisible???? Anyone question the costumes in Watchmen? I think you underestimate the GA.

People question more than you care to admit, that's why there is always an underlying reason for most everything in movies.

Have you ever seen the Sy Fy channel show Eureka? We all know that the stuff that happens in that show is insane, and probably doesn't happen in real life, but because the writers add in a crap load of pseudo science to please the audience, the audience believes what they see. If the directors cut out the science part, believing that the audience will accept anything they see in a sci-fi show, then I think the show wouldn't be half as good as it is now.

The fact is, people will always get more enjoyment out of something if they are given a reason, no matter weird, for that something to be like it is. That's true even in comic book, sci-fi, and fantasy movies, where the reasons given don't always fit into real life.

And here's something for you to think about: In an early issue of the Avengers, Zemo has his Masters of Evil attack New York and the Avengers with glue. GLUE! He had a whole super villain team, and rather than use them for a straight up assault, he put them on glue duty. And let's not forget Cap and Giant Man land surfing on a concrete slab pulled by a tow truck.

Do you think people would accept that as a plot for the Avengers movie just because they'll accept any crazy thing they see in a comic book movie, and because it worked in the comics? I don't think so. I think that, if that happened, every person over the age of fifteen would walk out and ask for their money back.


oh so I dont like the idea because Im some pimply faced kid living at home *********ing to Action Comics #1????

I dont like the idea because it seems as if the film makers are embarassed by the idea of putting him in a costume. I dont like it because I wouldnt believe that the US would not study the hell out of the only supersoldier and send him to dance and sing songs to raise money for war bonds.

1. I can't speak for your pimply face, or your love of *********ing to the pictures in your comics, but I can speak for your general Fanboy-ness because, like many fanboys, your only reason for supporting anything seems to be: it's that way in the comics. You won't support any ideas, even good ones, apparently, if they're not straight from the comics.

2. How do you know what the filmmakers feel? You met any of them?

3. How do you know they're not studying him in the movie? Is this more conjecture?

I love that most of the people who criticize the USO Show idea for being unrealistic go on to say Cap needs no explanation for his completely absurd costume because it's a superhero movie and "superhero movies don't have to be realistic."

I didnt say it was unrealistic..its not logical
 
Alright then I love that most of the people who criticize the USO Show idea for being illogical go on to say Cap needs no explanation for his completely absurd costume because it's a superhero movie and "superhero movies don't have to be logical."
 
I can't think of a single "Ultimized" costume that I really like.

I believe it is a terrible idea based on the comments that the director has made

he wears the costume and its the costume people recognize which allows him to lead

Basic film making 101. You can do anything in your world that is shown. In LOTR magic prevalent...from magical creatures to arcane weaponry. So when Gandalf "dies" at the end of the first one and shows up in the next one no one bats an eye because he's a freekin wizard.
Avatar= You can believe that he transfers his mind into the avatar body because that is the world that is presented to us.

I do not like the USO idea because its not in the comics...infact I would be ok if they kept Steve in a facility and studied him IMO. I disagree with the USO thing because to me it doesnt seem logical.
 
Alright then I love that most of the people who criticize the USO Show idea for being illogical go on to say Cap needs no explanation for his completely absurd costume because it's a superhero movie and "superhero movies don't have to be logical."

where did I say this movie doesnt need to be logical?
