I was going to say "Final Justice" Oh well. I wonder if bob knew that "Stars and Stripes" was the name of cap's shoryuken like attack from the capcom fighters he was in.Armored Prayer said:*Reads title* Charging Star!
Sorry but after MvC3 I really love shouting the lines, mainly Cap's and Doom's. I also became more interested with them as well.
Back on topic the trailer overall was very good. I do think pre Cap Steve looks more sickly than puny. And as for Cap using a gun I actually approved. I mean he is a soldier at war, it seems only appropriate he carries a firearm.
There were other teams in operation during WW2 based comics, such as black hawk and his squadron of elite pilots, who basically annihilated anything that was german and flew, they were made up of various european pilots at least one of which was polish. Wonder if they'll get a nod in the movie?Falseprophet said:Minor Pet Peeve: Were the Invaders solely an Anglo-American team? No other Allied nation members? Not one Canadian, Australian, Free French, Free Poles, nothing?
The original team had a half human- half Atlantean, Namor the Submariner and an android, the Human Torch. They retroactively added several other heroes, but I think they were overall pretty white, with the exception of Wolverine who was at the time Jim Howlett and a member of the Canadian special forces. Captain Canuck and Major Maple Leaf didn't come around till the 70's, I actually don't know any Australian Super heroes, though I wouldn't be surprised if that runs as a mini-series like they did with "Red, White, and Black" the story of the African American test subjects that pre-dated Steve Rodgers.Falseprophet said:Minor Pet Peeve: Were the Invaders solely an Anglo-American team?

They're DC and fight along side the Justice League. They guest stared in a time travel episode of "Justice League" though somehow some are still alive. Also that comic is shockingly racist by today's standards.gellert1984 said:There were other teams in operation during WW2 based comics, such as black hawk and his squadron of elite pilots, who basically annihilated anything that was german and flew, they were made up of various european pilots at least one of which was polish.

I think it's more in the line of the jet-powered <url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horten_Ho_229>Horten Ho 229.Kumagawa Misogi said:I believe that "retro stealth fighter" is the Northrop YB-35.

Captain America is a champion of what America is supposed to be, not what it is. As shown in the Civil War arch and some other bits, he is not "America is always right".Verlander said:I'm British, and I'm pretty anti-nationalist or even patriotic (Not just for this country, but in general), and I am bouncing off the walls waiting for this film.
Sorry, but it looks so damn good. Cap is a fantastic character. It's easy to sell him off as a patriotic figurehead, but he's so much more. The casting, the art direction, the storyline... it all just slots into place. It's gonna be awesome.
We have Thor out very soon, which, while it's first trailer lacked that certain something, managed to grab my attention with it's second one. And then Green Lantern, and it's going to be fascinating seeing DC try and push another of it's much misrepresented cast into the limelight. Is asking for a Flash or Martian Manhunter film too much to ask for? Wonder Woman is absolutely perfect film material, as is Green Arrow, but never gonna happen I think.
What Marvel studios have done with this Iron Man/Thor/Cap continuity is amazing. THESE are comic films. Everything that went before were just films about comic heroes.
The Cap thing is kinda what I meant when I said that he is much more than a patriotic figurehead...Saelune said:Captain America is a champion of what America is supposed to be, not what it is.

Im looking forward to this.
