Age of Ultron The Avengers 2! The Official News and Speculation Thread - - - - - - - Part 27

[Iceman]

Out of the MCU people, yeah his is probably my favorite (with Ming Na and Brett in second). Out of celebs in general though, I don't know, Benedict Cumberbatch's was pretty impressive *lol*

Oh will have to check that one out.

 

[TalismanRing]

A shame that gif doesn't have him spitting out the water just a moment later *lol*

Well, that's what one does in wine tasting - swish, taste and spit. Though usually not that dramatically. t:

CB's was very entertaining and The Foo Fighter's Carrie video was also fantastic. But Evans' so far is my favorite for the combination of the ice water lecture, the upgrade in attire and the entire family atmosphere. Little kids squealing and laughing never gets old. It's all so very charming.

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

Putin won't do it because he hates America and the West.

idk, swimming in ice water is very russian. and he could show off

 

[marcvader]

Evans leads the MCU with Pratt second for me.

 

[sueb1863]

Sebastian Stan will be at the Chicago Comic Con this weekend so he won't be able to do it until at least next week.

[Dr. Evil]

That would not count. He still hates America and the West.

 

[cherokeesam]

Dirty red Commies hate our freedom-loving water and precious bodily fluids.

Anyone else notice that we're getting Cap in live-action 5 years in a row from 2011 to 2016?

 

[sabetoonth]

Oh wow, dang, I never noticed that!

Though it only works if you count his TDW cameo. Counting only movies where he features, 2013 breaks the chain

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Yep, good stuff going on the MCU

 

[Joiner]

Yeah, if you don't count TDW...


Who cares. It starts again. 2014-2016 baby.

 

[Joiner]

It makes me wonder why people complain about IM in the "spotlight". Cap has had an equal amount of a presence in the MCU; leading role, cameo and/or reference.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Cap appearing that many times in a row has more to do with when his movies were released.
with his movie landing the year before Avengers, his 10 second cameo in Thor 2, and his movie following thor again with Avengers 2 be the next year.

Iron man on the other hand has already had 3 entire movies and now 2 avengers appearances one of which he can pretty easily be considered the lead role, and that remains to be seen in AoU (even though its pretty obvious he'll again have lead although cap may equally be tbe lead too.)

 

[Ryu_do_Sen]

I think that Marvel Cinematic Universe, before TWS, was somewhat embarrased or fearing that cap, given that people nowadays aren't as patriotic as they were in old days, wouldn't pull as many fans as Iron Man or Thor.

Even in TWS, he isn't captain america but captain rogers.....

I think they need to accept the character as he is and not be afraid of his anachronistic qualities. And the same for his powers in MCU: we don't know for sure if he is superhuman or not - on one hand, he seems to be no that much stronger than Batroc who is, as far as we know, a normal human and, on the other hand, he can lift, gravely wounded, a 5 or 10 ton steel support beam at the end of the movie......

Cap, for me, is one of the most interesting characters of the comic book universe......

And, another thing, i hope Marvel stops makin' Cap as a näive, timid and innocent guy. It would be much better if they did a shrewd, determined, master strategist, tough kinda guy. That's the cap from the comic books that i know.....

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I don't feel like marvel is at all embarrassed of Cap. I do feel his role should have been more prominent in Avengers but TWS did just fine bringing Cap up to par.

Its all evolution of the character, prior to TWS Cap still had plenty to learn about how the world operates nowadays. TWS shows Cap learning to take the world as it is and now how he'd like it be, no more being naive and blind to the truth.

His strategy and his intelligence has been seen you can see in Avengers and TWS maybe not to the capacity of the comics but its there. He also led plenty of men and won battles in the fields of war in TFA.

 

[Ryu_do_Sen]

If they weren't insecure about Cap, then why they didn't give him a more prominent place in Avengers?

And why call him Captain Rogers in TWS? What reason did Cap have for not wanting to continue takin' on the mantle of Captain America, if he was a hero?

And, what about his abilites, is he superhuman or human? Why does seems that, for some things, he is only human and, for other things, he seems superhuman?

And, what about his abilites, is he superhuman or human? Why does seems that at one time he is one human and on another he seems superhuman?

Just because he had a few less minutes than RDJ doesn't mean they're insecure. He actually did have more of a role but it was cut down.

And TWS Nobody was referred to by thier super hero names, not once was Natasha referred to as Black Widow or Wilson as falcon. He was capt.Rogers because he is an agent of shield not a vigilante in the streets like batman or spiderman who has to be referred to as thier super hero names. In Xmen how often is logan referred to as wolverine, not all that often but it doesnt stop him from being wolverine.
It would sound highly unnatural for every one to be running around calling him captain America in every scene, especially since his identity isn't a secret. He works for a government agency but that doesn't make him any less a hero, hell he donned his old suit once it was time to take out shield. Steve Rogers, Captain Rogers, Agent Rogers are all a part of Captain America as a whole.

Are you kidding me, what point has ever just been human? everything he's done since he's got the serum proves other wise:

Tore the door off a car

Running through doors and walls with no problem

Resisted the magnetic pull of the shield hand cuffs

Jumps 15 ft in the air with ease

Jumped out of an elevator over 50 ft off the ground and hit the ground and got up without trouble

Constantly throwing men around with one arm

Lifted a boxing bag and hung it with one arm like it was a sack of laundry

Got shot through the back and was still able to get up and pull a beam that likely weighed a couple tons off of bucky

Tore the arm off a chituari

Got shot by a chituari and got back up to fight

Single handedly took down a jet

Withstood a strike from mjolnir

Either you have no concept of human strength or weren't paying very good attention to these movies lol

And marvel couldn't be too ashamed of cap given how fast they green lit Cap3.

Aside from the first 2, those are all fan-made logos taken from someone's deviantart account and spreading around various doinks' sites like wildfire.

 

[The Endless]

He did have a prominent role in Avengers

And why call him Captain Rogers in TWS? What reason did Cap have for not wanting to continue takin' on the mantle of Captain America, if he was a hero?

He doesn't refer to himself as either. It's a nod to his role as Commander Rogers in the comics, when he became head of SHIELD. Plus, Captain America is his superhero name, his propaganda name. He isn't a superhero in The Winter Soldier. He's a black ops operative.

And, what about his abilites, is he superhuman or human? Why does seems that, for some things, he is only human and, for other things, he seems superhuman?

He is very much superhuman. He's definitely more enhanced than 616 comics Cap. He's more in line with Ultimate Cap.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

^exactly

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

He was called Captain America in TWS at least once. I don't see the problem here

 

[flickchick85]

He was called Captain America multiple times in TWS. The Marvel movies regularly refer to their heroes by their actual names just as much as their "code names." Iron Man is referred to as "Stark" more than anything, Black Widow is usually "Natasha" or "Agent Romanov," Banner's only been referred to as The Hulk maybe twice, etc. They don't have secret identities, so people call them by their names when they're having personal conversations with them because those are, ya know, their names. When they're being talked about ("If we're conducting a manhunt for Captain America, we deserve to know why." "Captain America needs my help." "The Black Widow's up there." "You've gotta get Iron Man to appear at my niece's birthday party."), that's usually when the code names get used. How is this an issue?
