Captain America's Film Costume: No Cheesy Spandex Here

Why would the original suit be cheesy? That's saying the whole character in general is, so making a movie about a cheesy super hero is pointless.
I don't like the suit that they've drawn up. It looks like he's wearing a bike helmet...and where are the wings? Too cheesy?

Well, Thor is an actual Norse, as in viking, God of Thunder. And earlier the Germanic Pagan god. The winged helmet comes from ancient deceptions of the Roman God, Mercury. Later this style of helmet was used in the art of many other gods, just like the horned helmet of the viking - they were never really used. So I guess he doesn't really need it, but it looks cool in my opinion, and the helmet along with his hammer Mjolnir really define the character.tehweave said:

And I didn't even go over Bat-Nipples...
The costume looks awesome! Captain Jingoism is gonna look awesome.
When is the Photon movie coming out? Can't have an Avengers movie without Photon... Also, if they don't have Photon in the Avengers, then she can't split off to lead the team in a movie of Nextwave : Agents of H.A.T.E, and that would be a travesty. (Oh I'd kill for a Nextwave movie...)

I just don't like the fact that they have the Flamer Torch playing as Cap America. They should have gotten an actor who isn't already a Marvel hero, even if the movies are as dead as the proverbial doornail.
As for the suit, that's not bad, but my personal favorite is this one:

I don't have anything against the costumes, I was just nitpicking and poking fun of it. It does, however, worry me that they are going to the gritty reboot. Yes, Dark Knight and Watchmen are not that similar, but it does have the whole "realistic" (as much as giant naked blue man can be realistic) that the audience relates to. When I referenced the Tim Burton movies, I was referencing how in those Batman's, the darkness of Gotham was used in a neon-punk-fun kind of way. In the Dark Knight it's used in the criminals-everywhere-scary-emo kind of dark.derelix said:
I'm inclined to agree with Captain America not being an interesting character, and I'm a massive Marvel geek. That being said, you really can't do an avengers film without him.chozo_hybrid said:
And the costume looks fantastic. I saw some art on Deviantart that I thought would look better, but this still looks fantastic.
Meh, I'm from Canada, and I'm one of the few people who don't hate the states (I hate Canadian and American people alike). It's just the fact that he's an icon-hero. Do what's right, because it's right, for no other reason than it's right. Show no flaws, be the best. I don't like characters people are supposed to live up to simply because they're unbelievable. That's why I don't read DC, the universe is damn near full of them. Not that those aren't good principles, but I don't want to read about them on a regular basis unless he's on a team with people who contradict that (Iron Man) on a regular basis.chozo_hybrid said:
Hugo Weaving? Oh, hells yes.
And yeah, that costume does look pretty cool. I think I'll actually look forward to this.

I take it the Reb Brown version is truly unmentionable?vansau said:
I don't know what's with the commenters that think he's wearing jeans. "Huh, blue pants, they must be jeans". I know it's a low-quality pic, but I'm pretty sure they're just blue.Slick Samurai said:
Batman wears grey spandex, a blue speedo, and hooker boots. Just wanted to point that out. Here's what's rumoured to be Thor's costume. Notice, no wings. http://blog.newsarama.com/2010/06/03/is-this-a-first-look-at-thors-concept-costume/tehweave said:
But yeah, Comic Cap has pirate books, scales, and figgin' wings on his ears. Not hard to imagine non-comic fans giggling a bit.
But this costume is great, I think. Works well with the Iron Man and Thor costumes. Probably not the final version, though.
Not bad. I'm sure it's going to change a bit more before filming starts. Stay positive.
What I'm really worried about is if they can capture the fish out of water issue of Steve being a wholesome 1940's kid, plunged into our current society. "They" being the writers, director and Chris Evans.
Heh, a few years back I was tinkering with the idea of faking a Thor movie poster as an April fools prank.
