Joe Johnston, the director, has evoked warm nostalgia for a bygone America in his movies “The Rocketeer” and “October Sky”; I think he’ll effectively present Captain America’s Mom-and-apple-pie patriotism . . . . let’s just hope that demonstrating a sincere love for the U.S.A. doesn’t “offend” certain demographics — merely because political correctness has reduced our nation to *paper-tiger* status, eh? There’s NO harm in being fond of this great country of ours!

This is why Captain America as a blond haired blue eyed Caucasian is sort of a symbol of America taking Hitler's precious idea of the Aryan Master Race and pitting it against him.

That's sort of true but many people don't know that Hitler himself was of Jewish background. Why would he want to do this to his own people? Most “practicing” Jews had they're own form of society and learned how to keep the wealth within their families. Jews would not support Hitler and his ideas so Hitler felt betrayed because his own people wouldn't support him and he felt that they were not assets to German society and felt they were more like leeches instead so he became obsessed with the sick idea of wanting to eradicate all Jews from Germany and the whole world. And Hitler became obsessed with idea of the “blonde haired blue eyed” Aryan race,actually had schools and planned births to create a “new” society with were only the Aryan race would exist. This idea came from what he was being taught in secret societies such as the Thule Society in which they say “The Aryan race are the Nordics, the gods who came from to this planet from Aldebaren, Europa,Orion, and Procyon.” They are also called “Ashstar Command” or “Sons of The White Light”.

Good thing this film isn't yours to make, either.

The war was started by the bankers in Germany in an attempt to get wealth power and resources. They persuaded the Jewish people for they had more wealth than the average German. Once the Nazi obtain power they rode around in Mercedes Benz and lived in castles.

Go watch the last Captain America movie, which was done pretty much by the book. It was trash.

THANK YOU. I keep reading some of this trash people are spewing and my mind keeps reeling back to when the Nostalgia Critic reviewed the last Cap America movie. Which, for the record, was released in 1991. =)

Chris Evans is in, but Red Skull is the foe. Yay!

Reading that paragraph makes me feel slightly smarter and stupider at the same time.

Smarter because that is… retarded.

Stupider because that actually caused hemorrhaging from direct contact with a total dimwit.

I really think we should wait and let the guys making this figure it out. I like their ideas so far.

First I hafta say that I'm a huge Cap fan, I know almost all there is to know about Steve/Cap. I've been looking forward to this movie for a long time. Thanks to anyone and everyone that will help make this movie.
OK. The WW2 period is the only way to initialize the character Captain America. This alone will be highly useful in the feel of the movie and its success. Also, it's a great 'history lesson' for our current generation.
The USO idea is actually pretty good, especially in an introduction for Cap. This suit or costume issue is a little confusing to me. Comic book or movie as the medium should make no difference. I think it's important to keep in mind that young Rogers wants to serve - fight for his country and fellow man. Steve is an artist, he himself designed the suit or costume. Why he wears it is a 'thank you' for his chance to do his part. He wears the 'Flag' to draw attention, not to himself but away from his fellow soldiers. So he can 'take the bullet' not the other guy. Steve Rogers is fervently patriotic, I think if he hadn't become Captain America he would've done something else to make a difference.
Aside from the suit idea (which isn't really a major factor) the only concern I have about this movie is the casting for rogers. And really, the only issue that I'm worried about is the size of Rogers/Caps physique. He is (has become) the perfect human specimen. The serum that Prof. Reinstein gives him enhances his body 'to the max', so to speak.
Joe Johnston, at any rate, will do an awesome job, I have no doubt. There seems to be an over-all hesitation and a level of precaution to do this movie right. I'd compare the making of this movie to Lord of the Rings as far as anticipation and accuracy. Nobody wants this movie to suck.
And even if a few changes are made I know IT WILL BE GREAT. To all you other Cap fans, put some trust in these guys. Cap rules and will always live, even if only in our hearts.

I think the USO idea is pretty clever. Cap is my favorite character so I have a vested interest in how this whole thing goes down. So far I like what I'm hearing. The more garish costume as a USO prop makes sense and him modifying it later for actual battle does too. As far as him dancing and singing, I'm sure he'll be shown as clumsy, awkward, and obviously hating the ordeal.

well its better than the explanation in the 1990s movie where he is just randomly in the costume and the explanation we get is that the person who made it “loves the red white and blue”

Even the avergae movie goer knows this is a comic book charcater and that comic book charcaters wear costumes. It wouldn't set their minds in a tizzy to see Cap in his RW&B.

All those heroes you listed had their origins explained in the movies, with the exception of X-men because they changed the costumes to a design that didn't need explaining. Having the costume origin explained is an important piece, regardless of whether it shows up in the comics, because the average, non-fanboy movie goer isn't going to buy that a “real” person would wear a flamboyantly crazy costume without a damn good reason. Explaining it is also a tool they can use for character development. It needs to be done in a movie adaptation.

I see your point but going the song and dance route makes since. I have a feeling hes not going to be up there shaking it like “Shakira,” but more like Frank Sinatra. Think of the military's Honor Guard. They're are practically “Toy Soldiers.” Just there to look good and put on a show. Cap wont like it and decide its not what he signed on for.

Steve Roger was just lucky to being successfully gone through the experiment to become a super soldier while many lost their lives. While the scientist still do not have the answer of how Steve able to survive. They thought that he is still too valuable to risk his life in the war zone, at least for the moment until they figure out how to duplicate.
So in the attempt to keep him close wth the scientist that want to continue study him they put him in USO in the hope the scientist may able to create more super soldier before they cld sent Steve to the battle zone.
What do you think abt the above explanation? Does it sound more logical for those nerd fans to accept this fact? Stop winding & complaining till watch the damn movie, okay?
