Age of Ultron The Steve Rogers/Captain America Thread

[Whiskey Tango]

At this point in the MCU, do you think Cap cares anymore (or ever cared) about the dirty rep sheets that most of his Avengers' Colleagues had before they all went legit?

Cap cares about who you are, not who you were.

 

[Xhexania]

Probably not because from my point of view , the first Avengers movie was really about everyone putting their egos and suspicions about each other aside once and for all and even if Cap wasn't totally okay about BW's methods and past in TWS , I think he can understand her position and same for the other members because at one point in his life , he had to do a few nasty things like Fury stated in TWS .

I don`t think Steve had problem with BW`s past, he actually trusted her, they even had internal jokes and small talk while working, but when he found her doing a mission of her own, that she never told him about, he realized she was like the rest of SHIELD, which is why he goes on all alone until he teams up back again with BW and she proves to him he can trust her, but he never mentioned having problem with her past, he did question her methods of not telling people the truth, even those that are supposedly close to her, which is why he told her it is hard to trust someone who hides things all the time.

I don`t think he cares about people`s past, in his conversation with Fury he admitted they did stuff in WWII; I think he cares about people`s intentions behind the doing of certain things and who they are now.

But there are two versions of Cap in the MCU, the one by the CA movie writers and Whedon`s Cap in Avengers; I mean Whedon`s Cap is not too judging of some, at first meet but, he was very much of Tony because he knew his father in ways that not even Tony himself, knew of his own dad, so he was very judging with him...

I hope they fix this in MCU, I personally prefer Steve as he is written in the MCU, the writers get the character`s heart and respect Evans` inputs too, while Whedon, so far has been odd with the character, I hope that changes with AoU.

I don't think that that's really a contradiction. His problem with Tony was much more about seeing Tony as an egotistically self-absorbed showoff (which he is), who's "heroics" were more about cleaning up his own messes (which they were). Howard Stark didn't really factor into it, at least we got very little indication of it. Steve thought that Tony was selfish and primarily about himself, that's where the tension came from. And then Tony proved himself at the end of the movie by doing something truly selfless, and Cap's toned noticeably softened (just like with BW in TWS).

You're right and I totally agree with you ! Plus I think it'd be great if Marvel kept McFeely and Markus around for future Cap movies or other MCU movies , I think they've been doing a pretty good job understanding the characters and making good stories !

That should have had his whipped cream scene from Not Another Teen Movie instead.

Keep in mind you are talking about a Steve under the influence of Loki's spear when he started judging Stark. That was the point of that scene, to get everyone saying things they usually wouldn't to start infighting as a distraction, all planned by Loki.

So Chris won for Action Movie Actor at the PCA, his moment on stage:

“Without you guys I’m lost, so thank you for giving me a purpose.”
— Chris Evans to his fans

and he was also a lovely gentleman helping Betty White get to the stage when she won her award:

 

[Ghostcrow13]

Well done Chris, however Divergent best Action Movie, Maleficent best movie??? Christ the people are dumb.

 

[The Caped Knight]

congrats to Captain America!

 

[Xhexania]

Well done Chris, however Divergent best Action Movie, Maleficent best movie??? Christ the people are dumb.

I`ve seen in many places on the net, people saying that those that voted for those movie are "dumb" or that they were "teenage girls" or "moms" or whatever; which I find extremely dismissive; being a teenage girl is not a bad thing, doesn`t mean being stupid, is just a phase in life when things we like are different; at some point I was a teenage girl my self, at that time my favorite thing was Buffy, I thought that was empowering to women, then I grew up and realized, not all in that series was great, but back then when I was a teen, that was good enough (that show is still better than Divergent), now teens have other stuff, I can see why they would like Divergent or Malificent, both have strong female characters they can relate to.... but why did those movies won against the others, like CA:TWS, DOTFP or GOTG? because those were three great comic book movies, being in the same categories, probably had fandom dividing votes between them, while the fandoms for Divergent and Malificent, are big and they didn`t divide votes.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Well done Chris, however Divergent best Action Movie, Maleficent best movie??? Christ the people are dumb.

Adam Sandler as Best Comedic Actor. Big Bang Theory fave TV Show. Blarg!

And of course Jennifer Lawrence scores again because apparently no one has ever heard of any other actresses.



Chris E remains cool as hell, though. RL Steve Rogers.

 

[harryoscop]

Scarlet Johansson should have won that award

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Or Emma Stone.

 

[harryoscop]

Or Emma Stone.

Nah, Scarlett Johansson was a kick ass Black Widow in TWS, it was her best performance as Natasha yet!

Emma Stone was immensely unlikable in TASM2 (selfish aa frick) but I haven't seen Birdman so..

 

[Xhexania]

Scarlet Johansson should have won that award

Zoe Saldana too...

but JLaw has the Hunger Games fandom, so... but JLaw is badass, so I don`t mind, at least it is not Woodley

 

[BoredGuy]

Those awards were so stupid
I noticed, only people in attendance won any awards, my girlfriend and I accurately predicted every winner based on who they showed on camera before the award
so that begs the question:

Did they only invite the winners, or were the awards given to who showed up??

either way, glad Mr. Evans won, and f***k Adam Sandler and Jennifer Lawrence

 

[Ghostcrow13]

J-Law wasn't too bad a choice, although she didn't exactly do much in Mockingjay.

most of these awards, they already know beforehand, it is only the GG, BAFTA or Oscars that celebs go without knowing, and not all who won, went there, there were awards that didn`t air because the celeb wasn`t there to pick the award.
And yes Adam Sandler? I thought for comedy it would go to Tatum or Hill

 

[BoredGuy]

^yeah makes sense

but it also makes for a really f***ing boring award show

 

[marcvader]

My hero

I was thinking of the main actress category rather than action one, my bad.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Somebody is still going to see his crap movies since they keep turning profits. I gave him as many chances as I could but then Jack & Jill happened and that was the last straw.
