 | 08:37 pm - Notes on Captain America TFA
1) The Red Skull looks MUCH SCARIER with Hugo Weaving's face.
2) Cap -- you are standing on top of a speeding car, trying to stop the bad guy's plane before it takes off. The bad guy's plane has all of its propellers in back for some reason, probably for that cool Art Deco look. You have a virtually indestructible shield. The spinning propeller is RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU! The shield! The propeller! Right there! Jeez, do I have to spell it out?
3) Cap is sweet. I mean, totally, knock your socks off innocent and decent and moral and brave and compassionate and modest and self-sacrificing and -- and on and on. I can't wait to see how the chemistry works in the Avengers, with two blowhard egomaniacs (Iron Man and Thor) and one genuine hero.
4) Similarly, I hope, hope, hope that the movie shows poor Steve Rogers coping with the future shock.
4) BTW there was A WOMAN in the original Avengers, remember? Janet van Dyne, the Wasp? Okay, she was an annoying character. I think she was put in there to BE annoying and keep uppity wimmins from demanding female characters ("We HAVE one, see?") but at least she was there. Come on, people, this is the second decade of the new millennium!

I think I had a crush on the Wasp.
11-13 year old me had no taste, but lots of hormones. |
