Why does even the shield look CG?

WHY DOES EVERYTHING LOOKS SO FAKE

Shit, now people are trying to convince themselves there's CG when there's none?

You really need to step away from the internet for a while if this is how your brain works.

 

[Suairyu]

See, I don't know from where, but I was under the impression that the first act of the Avengers film would concern itself with finding/locating a frozen Captain America.

It's a bit weird that he's holding the rail in the running pic.

‘Captain America’ title will be changed to ‘The First Avenger’ in Russia, South Korea

The film “Captain America: The First Avenger” will have its title truncated to, simply, “The First Avenger” in those three overseas markets, according to Marvel Studios insiders. The choice was made by Marvel, Paramount Pictures’ international team and distributors in those three countries based on market research results. Those involved in the decision are being careful to frame the move as a matter of brand management and consumer awareness and not as a decision tilted by cultural or political winds.

In private, Marvel insiders said that early on in the project’s planning there was talk that the title might need to be changed in numerous international markets but that there was a ”pleasant surprise” — the brand recognition of the comic-book superhero was so strong that it overrode those considerations in many places. That was not the case in Russia, South Korea and the Ukraine.

It’s not uncommon for American films to undergo name changes for overseas to suit the international variables in taste, translation and temperament. Still, this particular title tweak might not sit well with those pundits and purists who frowned on comments last year by the film’s director, Joe Johnston, that suggested that Captain America and his alter ego, Steve Rogers, would be more measured in the way they saluted their country.

“He wants to serve his country, but he’s not this sort of jingoistic American flag-waver,” Johnston told Hero Complex. “He’s just a good person. We make a point of that in the script: Don’t change who you are once you go from Steve Rogers to this super-soldier; you have to stay who you are inside, that’s really what’s important more than your strength and everything. It’ll be interesting and fun to put a different spin on the character and one that the fans are really going to appreciate … the idea that this is not about America so much as it is about the spirit of doing the right thing,” the director said. “It’s an international cast and an international story. It’s about what makes America great and what make the rest of the world great too.”

And here I thought the russians loved us.

 

[BattleMonkey]

Sweet, look at all those pouches!

Well it's one of those rare cases where pouches made sense, it being wwII and the troops generally having to carry most of their gear in them. Food, medical supplies, ammo, utilities, etc

New image on the cover of this month's Empire:



I'm loving the costume more and more.

 

[G-Fex]

I like the hair and costume. Go Lucas!

but will they dub over all instances of the name "Captain America" in the film?
fucking dumb. call him Captain Russia or whatever if it hurts their feelings. they have no problem pirating our movies absorbing and loving the culture but movie executives think they will get their panties in a bunch if the hear the name America?

fuck that!

Preview pages from the tie-in comic.

They seem to be sticking pretty close to the first issue of The Ultimates.

Spoiler

Why try to improve on perfection.

 

[Blader]

First shot of Bucky

 

[Funky Papa]

uuuh

 

[Zoramon089]

First shot of Bucky

Real subtle there...of course no one will notice the bright blue through the tattered coat

 

[Poyunch]

All I can see is Lucas Lee in that shot.

 

[Simo]

Awesome.

It's like the Captain America weekend. One sheet on Friday and the digital comic and super bowl spot on Sunday!

 

[BobTheFork]

Real subtle there...of course no one will notice the bright blue through the tattered coat

Not quite as bad as The Thing putting on a trench coat but yeah that looks odd.

 

[WinFonda]

All I have to say is: Thank god they didn't cast an Englishman as Captain America.

 

[BattleMonkey]

Real subtle there...of course no one will notice the bright blue through the tattered coat

Highly doubt they were trying to hide it, especially someone like Captain America.

I don't think it's supposed to be a secret?

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

Well I hear they just delivered the script to him...

The henchmen in the back look so corny.

 

[Ceres]

He's wearing a blue helmet with the A on it.

 

[Replicant]

I love the artstyle for this comic. Who's the artist? That's one of the best drawing of Cap I've seen. Or maybe I just love this particular costume on him. And no humongous manboob on Cap either.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Highly doubt they were trying to hide it, especially someone like Captain America.

Yes.

This.

Also super cool GAF comic writers, what would you have The Thing put on to disguise himself (poorly) in public? :|

Did Van Lente finish Comic Book Comics yet!? >:|

I love the artstyle for this comic. Who's the artist? That's one of the best drawing of Cap I've seen. Or maybe I just love this particular costume on him. And no humongous manboob on Cap either.

It might be Luke Ross, whose name is on the cover of the book. Stop. Making. Sense. D:

Luke Ross.

EDIT: Beaten.

 

[comedy bomb]

He's wearing the coat to cover up the first Captain America costume which is supposed to look goofy.

That dialogue question is fucking brutal.

 

[Discotheque]

Uh it's kinda weird that Bucky looks more mean as fuck than Captain America. Smaller in stature sure, but still.

 

[Riskbreaker23]

Bucky is mean as fuck. He did all the black ops stuff the US didnt want Cap to do.

 

[JambiBum]

Uh it's kinda weird that Bucky looks more mean as fuck than Captain America. Smaller in stature sure, but still.

Why is that weird? Rogers isn't mean as fuck. Bucky (especially winter soldier/new captain america bucky) is. Rogers has never been a mean character.

Also the article that goes along with that picture states that they are going for a grittier bucky. Which I think will work really well

 

[Discotheque]

I mean he looks more tough. But then I can't take Chris Evans that seriously, no matter how buff the dude gets.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Bucky is mean as fuck. He did all the black ops stuff the US didnt want Cap to do.

Here's another pic of Bucky. They do indeed seem to be going the edgy Bucky/Winter-Soldier route.

[canadian crowe]

This movie is going to be great and Bucky will be the break out favorite character of the movie. I can feel it.

 

[Replicant]

Eh? Unless one is really up-to-date in comic artists whos and whos, there's no way a random person could know that he's an illustrator instead of a writer or author.

 

[Koodo]

Awesome.

For some reason my brain isn't paying attention to anything but the middle.

Well, the second name in comic credits is typically the penciller (the primary artist), but there is no reason you should know this unless you read a lot of comics.

The Take Out Bandit always acts like a dick for no reason lol.

 

[Tom_Cody]

First shot of Bucky

Another reason to look forward to Bucky- he was awesome in Hot Tub Time Machine as the ski patrol dickhead.

 

[megashock5]

I've always liked Cap, but never read it regularly like I did with Spidey, X-Men and Daredevil.

I can't believe how badly I want this movie to be good. I feel like there's potential for a great ride here, I hope it can live up to it.

Johnston's comment about liking the tone of 'Raiders' gives me hope. If he can deliver that, we could be in for some fun.

Hey, cant hotlink the pics, but the post below hosted them. Oops.

Egads, you are right. They worked in preview, then didnt check. Thanks.

I don't know how I feel about Tommy Lee Jones. He just doesn't do well in this genre.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Tommy has toned it down a lot these past few years. He is much more understated, which is nice.

I dont know what you are talking about.

 

[Dai101]

I don't know how I feel about Tommy Lee Jones. He just doesn't do well in this genre.

This is the same guy that starred that other comic book movie (and also most of his dialog was improvised) ........ and you say he doesn't do well in this genre? Am i missing something here?

 

[SpacLock]

What does he stash in those pouches?

Whiskey, Marlboro Reds and a Gillette Fusion.

 

[BattleMonkey]

I don't know how I feel about Tommy Lee Jones. He just doesn't do well in this genre.

Don't know, the hammy nature of Jones to me fits with the pulp stylings of this. Even set in WWII and despite various attempts to make it more gritty in some comics, it still comes off as really cheesy pulp adventure stuff.
