First Avenger Why Does Everyone Want a Body-Building Captain America?

[Rich Santoro]

BlackLantern
and your basis for this inane statement is?

How warm and fuzzy, nice to meet you... Now... allow me to educate you:

We are all aware that he had plenty of throw away dramas and comedies like Strays, The Pacifier, Knockaround Guys... plus the mindless action flicks like xXx, and Babylon AD, and the infamous F&F...

But to see his range and seriousness try Multi-Facial for one. It is a serious film based on his own experience, making his way in the movie industry. He wrote and directed. Small time film, but there is a lot of depth, and I think it is a huge plus on his merits as an artist.

Boiler Room was a good movie... not academy award winning stuff, but it showed him in more than action flicks and muscle-head roles. Good performance.

Find Me Guilty was a very good comedy drama, were Diesel shows some good range and suprising comedic timing.

Pitch Black was a better than average Sci-Fi thriller, and the Riddick character (in that film anyway) was entertaining... I liked it.

Now he has a film coming up called Hannibal the Conqueror... it could dive, but is he serious... yes.

------------------------------------

Now... just in case you were confused, I will quote the much more amicable and interesting WeaponXProject:

And whoever thought someone was suggesting Diesel is wrong. Nobody suggested him at all.

if you read a little more of my posts, I made mention of Find Me Guilty as a good piece of work that he did....He did a great job, especially the scene where he was questioning his own cousin on the stand...so go educate someone who gives a **** about what you think....Hannibal has been on deck for a couple years now...I recall reading he was working on that around the time 'XXX' was released...He has 'Fast and Furious' out sometime next year and there is nothing wrong with going back to the well...

^^^that should be passed around as a "cautionary tale" to any directors who want to inject "their own vision" into a CBF

 

[Ronny Shade]

Directors with their own visions make the best CBFs.

Those without make cookie cutter ********

 

[Rage]

That looks almost as bad as this...

^^^^ that guy has a Pedo-smile....

Captain America's suit should remain very faithful to the character and shouldn't look like a piece of trash in action. Whoever wears the suit HAS to look good in it and has to look like someone who is in charge.

^^^^ that guy has a Pedo-smile....

Which kind of looks like the smile from the Mona Lisa. Oh! Suspicious!

 

[Red Mask]

I'm not hatin' on Canadians...I am a Canadian. I just know that there is an idea out there that Captain America NEEDS to be played by an American actor.

I think that is ludicrious...but I can kinda see the logic there...a bit.

Interesting. Olympic winner Nastia Liukin has competed for America for years. Is she less an American because she was born in Moscow?

 

[That-Guy]

Nastia for Captain America! jk

Yeah, I don't think it really matters if the actor is American just as long as she can do a perfect American accent.

*shudder* that black and white picture of ski-mask Cap gives me the creeps.

 

[LastSunrise1981]

I know Mark Steven Johnson said in an interview that he'd love to do Captain America. He's just not sure on who he would cast and he would make sure it's set in World War II.

Please don't get Mark Steven Johnson Marvel. Have you not see how Ghost Rider turned out? I cut Mark some slack on Daredevil since that was more of Fox's doing than his.

 

[Rich Santoro]

OK... Blacklantern... let's walk through this:

1) Ronny shade says

It's totally possible to come off a movie like that and get serious and be taken seriously.

2) You say,

name one individual out of that main cast who is considered a serious actor/? Vin Diesel did 'Find Me Guilty'....but that's been about it.

Thereby supporting his argument that "It's totally possible to come off a movie like that and get serious and be taken seriously."

3) So I follow up to you comment with:

^^ I would say that Diesel is a serious actor...

To draw the conclusion from the premise that you yourself articulated.

4) Your quip in response was...

and your basis for this inane statement is?

Hashing a dig at me for a sentiment that you, yourself already substatiated...

5) I went on to provide support for my premise that he is a serious actor... and you have this to say:

so go educate someone who gives a **** about what you think....

You asked me the question dumba$$... If you don't care what I think, then don't ask me a stupid f@#king question... one in which you say you already know the answer... nor in a way that elicits saracsm if you are too damn sensitive to handle it...

Bodybuilder Captain America is a horrible ****ing stupid idea. I want a good actor for Cap.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

No bodybuilders can act?

 

[Anubis]

......Not to my knowledge.

 

[Ronny Shade]

Arnold Schwarzenegger can act.
He's all wrong for Cap, though.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

......Not to my knowledge.

You know every bodybuilder?

 

[Doctor Jones]

No bodybuilders can act?

Or think. t:

 

[Colossal Spoons]

This thread is stereotype central it seems lol

 

[That-Guy]

Arnold Schwarzenegger can act.

That's a matter of opinion.

 

[UA-Archangel]

Paul Walker would be a good choice. Marvel should get him. He's tall and he looks like a male model. I don't know how big he can get because he seems to be very slim when he doesn't pack on muscle. But he can just pack on as much mucsle as he can and they can add some patings to the costume.

One clue to how big somebody can get is the tricep horseshoe, that's where the tricep muscles interconnect. The higher the horseshoe, the smaller the arm is going to be.

I suspect that with heavy weight-training, probably about 15 inches or so for him.

 

[Anubis]

You know every bodybuilder?

....Why yes I do. I used to sell roids in the 90's.

 

[Anubis]

Arnold Schwarzenegger can act.
He's all wrong for Cap, though.

No he can't.
