The Avengers The Captain America/Chris Evans Thread

[Chewy]

Luke = Cap
Han = Stark
Lando = Thor
Leia = Widow
Chewy = Hawkeye
R2 = Hulk
Obi-Wan = Fury

 

[Raiden]

I see Thor more as a Chewie, Black Widow as R2 and Hawkeye as 3PO, Fury as OB1. This movie needs a Leia.

Black Widow.

 

[MahvelBaby!]

or Maria Hill?

 

[Rage]

The Cap scene I would like to see... is Cap being able to lift Thor's hammer during the climatic battle... everyone is in awe of the feat since not even the HULK was powerful enough to lift it (and obviously Thor would also be in awe knowing what it means about Cap's character)

 

[Superhero 101]

has that happened in the comics?

 

[Chewy]

Yes Cap has lifted Mjolnir in the comics. But I certainly hope it doesn't happen in this first Avengers movie.

 

[Rage]

Its something I would love to see on film though! First, fifth or 15th Avengers film... Cap is one of a handful of people in the Universe that have been able to lift the hammer (the other one I can think of off hand is Beta Ray Bill)

 

[marcvader]

Id be cool with waiting a while before. I see Cap doing that and he's my favorite hero of all time. I just feel Thor deserves to have that be his thing for a while longer than just one movie.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Yes Cap has lifted Mjolnir in the comics. But I certainly hope it doesn't happen in this first Avengers movie.

I think it would be best fitted into the first film. Cap lifting the hammer could be a visual way to show he has earned the group's trust. It could serve as a moment everyone comes together as one. So, I think if they're going to do that in a film, this is the one to do it. Plus, how awesome would it be to see Cap own Loki (assuming Loki has the cube) with his brother's weapon?

 

[HUMANIMAL]

hmmm interesting...since no one thinks he should be the leader...this could be a real good twist and shows all of them that he is worthy;-) i wouldnt mind something like that in the first movie at all

 

[Herolee10]

Personally, I don't think that Steve being able to lift Thor's hammer should be the way that he earns the trust and leadership of the others. I think that there are other ways without resorting to that for him to shine in this film. Personally, I think it would be best to allow each other to stay within their own field within the group and not have them interchanging of weapons and trademarks.

 

[The Batman]

cap in avengers looks on point

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

Luke = Cap
Han = Stark
Lando = Thor
Leia = Widow
Chewy = Hawkeye
R2 = Hulk
Obi-Wan = Fury

A better way to look at it would be:
Frodo = Cap (Story runs through him mostly, he IS The Avengers in the same way Frodo IS the Lord of the Rings)

Aragorn = Stark (Probably the most marketable character, and depending on how you look at it could be seen as the main character also)

Gandalf = Thor (Most mystical member, and like Aragorn, depending on how you look at it could be seen as the main character also)

Legolas = Hawkeye (Another important member to the team, works mostly from long range)

Gimli = Widow (Another important member to the team, works mostly in the trenches)

Gollum = Hulk (The wild card, anything can happen with this character)

Galadriel = Fury (The overseer of all that happens)

 

[Superhero 101]

or
Wolverine = Cap
Storm = Stark
Phoenix= Thor
Cyclops=Hawkeye
Rogue=Black Widow
Beast = Hulk
Professor X= Fury

 

[Spider-Fan]

That would make Hawkeye leader in your comparison

I think I agree with this. This is the movie where the group has to establish a trust and respect for one another, and maybe after doubting Cap's old school leadership or values and tactics or whatever in a modern day battle, it could be a surprising and impactful way to "wow" both the teammates and the audience and gain that respect.

That's exactly my thinking. This is the film where Cap's leadership would be in doubt, and symbolically lifting a hammer only a worthy person can lift symbolically says he is worthy of being the leader. It's a great way to rally them. It'd be harder and less fitting in other films.

 

[TikkiEXX]

itll be interesting to see how they handle Cap in the leadership role. i can honestly see himself thinking hes not ready and wanting to stay in the background until something forces him to take the lead. only reason i think that is im assuming hes gonna be fresh out of the ice and more worried about adjusting to modern times, and getting over the fact that most of his friends and family are probably dead. especially Bucky. really want to see how they handle him dealing with modern times. lots of oppurtunity for comedy and tragedy in my opinion.

 

[peterparker0077]

I think, or I hope, they'll handle it similar to how they're handling it in EMH. Slow transition from Tony.

 

[Superhero 101]

That would make Hawkeye leader in your comparison

Well I was thinking more like Long Range

I agree with this, he is going to be in shock and feel out of his leauge and not shure of his place within the present time and the group . He is going to bring the most emotional depth out of all of them, this is my opinion of course. Its going to take something to make him feel like he got something to offer and he is needed, also I would love to see him lift Thor's hammer not necessarly use it but lift it when its needed and see the wtf look on everyone, especially Thor and Loki's faces.

Captain America and Thor are going to connect the most because they have similar codes of honor and Captain America being who he is so humble about it . Which leads to Thor gaining more humility by fighting along side him and the other Avengers and getting his respect.

Hehe that would drive Loki to get extra pissed I'm sure. Also a "holy ****" moment for someone like Coulson, guy spent a few days with the sole mission of getting that thing lifted. A deadpan reaction would be great from him.

Loki will be livid .. Coulson be like are you serious and Stan Lee will be like man I recked my truck for nothing ... could have got him to do it LOL


Seriously I would love to see a reaction from Coulson .... it would be awesome and Loki will go ape %^&@

 

[sgaana]

On the "Cap lifting Thor's hammer" thing -- I think I fall more into the camp that would like to see it, but not in the first Avengers film.

Because I can't help but think that, well, sure, everybody posting here will see The Avengers having seen the Thor film... and indeed, having seen and in many cases memorized all of the films that lead up to TA. Which is great, but on at least SOME level, Marvel Studios has to make a story for the film that can be accessible to those in the audience who missed one or more of the lead-up films.

So those of us who've seen "Thor" -- and who know TA:EMH, and the comics, and all that stuff -- we all know deep down what it means for Cap to be able to lift Mjolnir. But, within the context of The Avengers... I just think they need to put some stuff in the first movie that will establish it there as well. That might seem like belaboring the obvious to us, but it's necessary.

Look at it this way: The Avengers film will need to make it clear to the characters who weren't in the Thor film what the deal is with Mjolnir. I don't need it to take up a lot of time, but man, I'd love to see Hulk try to lift the hammer and fail; and I'd love to see Tony being driven crazy by something that defies scientific explanation. So that by the time Cap lifts it, everybody around him (not just Thor and Loki) really have an idea of what an accomplishment it is.

I suppose the first film could do that by putting in some "others try to lift it and fail" moments as early as they can, and leaving Cap lifting it for the end. But that still seems rushed to me. Let Thor have one entire film where he's the only one who can wield Mjolnir. (Especially since even he couldn't wield it for the entirety of his own film.)

 

[Hoblin]

I would absolutely geek out if Cap lifted Mjolnir. I would actually like it if, somehow, everyone knows about its enchantment except Cap. Then when he lifts it and uses it or throws it to Thor or whatever he does...everyone else is in awe while Cap just goes on fighting like it was no big deal.

But having said that, I mostly agree with the above post. As much as I want to see it, I think it would be slightly better if it wasn't in the first movie and was instead saved for Avengers 2. It needs some setup to make it truly powerful, and this film already has a LOT of things it needs to do.

Of course...I won't mind too much if it IS in the first movie. t:
