First Avenger OFFICIAL: Chris Evans is Captain America

[Rock Sexton]

I see the thread has devolved into the "that guy is too skinny" arguement.

Poor you.

 

[ashminator]

i musta sent my reply the same time as you did but i just said that about bale scroll up please

oh and hi keyser been a looooooooooooonnng time mate!

 

[Rock Sexton]

Hollywood trainers have done more with less. I do not understand why Evans CURRENT size should even be in issue considering he's young, healthy, and has a good base physique to build upon. He should be able to put on weight very easily by the time the movie comes around.

Gotta keep up with the discussion, which is about how much he should bulk up..... not what he looks like now.

Dorky Fresh just posted this in the manip section and is spot on with what I'd want.......

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Rock, Evans is probably 300% more fit than you'll ever be. He's in perfect shape as of now and could add a bit of muscle to his frame before shooting. I'll argue the TIH Tim Roth thing until I die if I have to.

Keep dreamin' bud. Been liftin' for 10 years.

Evans has actually slimmed up and laid off the hardcore training as of late because of the roles he's been playing and his vegetarian dieting.

Damn bro, only 10? I've been lifting for 20, I am so cool at my gym. chicks love me and ****. sucks man, you must be weak.

Better scrap the whole dang comic then.

Not sure what you're trying to say here.

Why the hell does he have pouches on his hands? Seriously...

Also, i hope we get the 616 suit rather than the Ultimate one. Its timeless, classic, iconic.

It was a discussion about believability as far as Cap being able to maneuver at the size he's been drawn at thru the years. I was surprised at some of the objection given that you don't hear it about the comics. Then someone brought up this is a different "medium" and that's fine .....but it's still not accurate. The movie is supposed to be a blend between a period piece and fantasy so my point was that they should find some middle-ground on his physique. Not over-exaggerated like in the comics, but not just "good" shape either. I want it to fully encompass what I'd think would be a super-soldier ..... mind, skills, and body.

Other studios Marvel movies will never interact together, that was never Marvel's plan. Marvel is waiting/hoping the other studios will let the rights to those character lasp, then they can put them under the Marvel Studios umbrella and will reboot them. Like with Hulk and Incredible Hulk, they really don't have a connection, they exist as seperate enitities. So once Fox doesn't make a FF related movie for however many years, that franchise is basically like Ang Lee's Hulk, completely dead. Marvel wants the Fantastic Four in this universe, they'll reboot it like they did the Incredible Hulk.

As for your period piece, WW2 as a prequel idea, when Cap gets frozen, he's perfectly perserved. That's the whole point of Cap in modern day, he's a man out of time. 65+ years have passed in the real world, but for Cap it's been one day, in both mind and body, the ice and Super Solider Serum made it so he didn't age at all.

studio interaction? who was thinking that? Cause I wasnt.
nah I was thinking by the time that FF reboot fails marvel finally get's the rights back to FF due to that anyway.

As for when cap was frozen I'm saying have evans play to the point where he's getting to his mid 30's and have an actual older guys that facing the red skull in a what's thought to be a final battle and yes cap thats in his mid to late 30s get frozen and presevered to reach the time line where tony and the rest of the avengers are being made. The rest of the earlyer part of the war can be Evans as cap in his 20's in the mask.

That's what's running through my head man.

Well aren't you special?

I hate weight lifting/gym guys. Every one I've ever met is an arrogant prick.

Fortunately, it seems that you're not 1 of them.

I'm glad you're not 1 of those muscly, waxed chest, spray tanned *****ebags. t:

With the exception of the 90s (where every superhero was a bodybuilder, even Cyclops..a guy whose original nickname was "slim" lol) & obvious artistic exaggeration, I don't think Cap is generally drawn huge in comics, especially in relation to the guys where size is even more important. That said, certain artists draw everyone big & I think it's just a style thing & noone really complains unless they get the relative proportions between different heroes wrong. Comic art can be abstract from an artistic point of view like real art.

So to address what you said, I doubt anyone really wants the over-exaggerated level of the comics at their most beastly (apart from Spoons if he's in this thread t with most opinions varying between normal looking athletic man to really superhuman looking athletic man (more what I'm looking for). For a real actor without CGI assistance, I think Evans (plus months of super-intense workout) is about as close as we could expect to get.

 

[Rock Sexton]

Good.

I have an ex-girlfriend who's living that whole lifestyle now with the competitive fitness and everything. I'm telling you, there are some really narcissistic dirt bags all up an down that particular grotto of life. I'm just glad I wasn't stupid enough to marry her!

Well what we could expect for "Evans" ..... speaking of which, I'll be curious to see how they pack on a little bulk given that he's doing the whole vegetarian thing and he's got only 3 months.

I didn't know about the vegetarian thing. Is that something he just started?
