What?s What in Captain America

I'm told 'Union Jack' had some not-so-subtle grenade bandoliers in the shape of the Union Jack flag; is this really the case?
I haven't watched the movies, so I don't know about the movie version.IndianaJonny said:
I know in the comics, he just has a giant Union Jack suit.
Hey, Bob, if you find yourself without an Intermission topic at some point in the immediate future, do you think you could do another "fanboy-free breakdown" for Cap? Like, show why you think this is an objectively good movie, in the same way you showed how GL and Transformers were objectively bad? Just a thought.
Here's a possible connection I just thought of....
"That thing in your chest is based on unfinished technology. Howard said the Arc Reactor was a stepping stone to something greater. He was about to kick off an energy race that was going to dwarf the arms race. He was onto something big. Something so big that it was going to make the nuclear reactor look like a tripple-A battery."

Could that "new element" from Iron Man 2 be a...Tesseract? Did Tony make a cosmic triangle?
Disclaimer: I have not read the comics. If the element is already named, I am simply ignorant of the fact.

Since Howard Stark found the cosmic cube, he had an opportunity to study it. Perhaps he wanted to put HYDRA's techniques to shame and actually duplicate the Tesseract. He discovered how, but couldn't pull it off, so he left clues for his son and hoped that technology was capable of synthesizing it one day.

AWESOME, awesome movie. You were right, Bob. Loved it! Especially the hints they were throwing at as. You know, this has given me hope for the Avengers film. Way to go Captain America.
Sadly, I WAS the only person in MY theater who gasped... Damn Hammond deserves some props. Him and Namor had all sorts of badass interactions...
Fan-boy free breakdown is for bad movies that people feel the reviewers who where fan and waiting hated for not possibly being enough like the original.thehorror2 said:
I read that originally cameos were written in for Wolverine and Magneto since they were both around during WW2, but they couldn't do that because they didn't own the characters.
I'm not going to deny, I cried a little on the inside when I read that.

The original posts, yes, but he (and reviewers like him) have taken heat for being fanboyish about good movies, too. It might be a good thing for him to break down exactly what makes this movie a GOOD MOVIE, and not just a bunch of blindingly-cool cameos to make fans forget the flaws.hotsauceman said:
BOO-YA! Human Torch! I called that! My dad and me were discussing who that could be, he thought it looked like Captain Marvel's costume. Hopefully this means we'll see Namor before too long in the Cap movies.
Maybe, maybe not. Fox has a pretty good claim on him as "The First Mutant" (he's not, but he was the first in comics) and his frequent involvement as an antagonist for the Fantastic Four.Blueruler182 said:
