How did Captain America not show up in this skit?

Although I enjoyed your discussion home cinimas are infinetly better than going out to watch a film evan if you only have a 42" 2 year old LCD tv and bog standard surround sound system.

maybe you have super awesome cinemas where you are but in the uk there is always something objectively wrong and not in a "charming way" ( listed above in my other comment )

Skipped through it. Stunning cinematography. Hope nobody wants to go see it with me so that I can enjoy it on blu-ray. Here's a big fuck you to almost everyone at the movies who won't stop talking and kicking my seat. Even the people I go to movies with manage to annoy me to hell and distract me from the movie with their weird stunts. The person I went to see Captain America (mediocre film, good comic-book movie) with fricking disappeared for the last 20 minutes of the movie. When they reappeared afterwards they said "when I went to the bathroom I didn't want to pass in front of the audience again so I just sat over here." Meanwhile I spent the entire last 20 minutes wondering where the hell they were, and I'm sure the people in the seats around their new seat were also scratching their heads. Just come back to your fucking seat.

True, the theatrical experience can suck sometimes (and your friend is a weirdo), but no home theatre can match the experience of seeing a great movie on the big screen. That's why, even as home theatre technology gets better and better, I'll never stop going to the movies.

Maybe they cut something out that would have better explained his decision to crash the plane into the ice. To be honest, I would have prefered the Ultimates version, where he grabs on to a rocket with a nuclear warhead, about to launch, headed for the US, and basically disables it from the inside, and it crashes on the north pole. THAT way, there was really nothing he could have done.


It's probably hard to have a touching goodbye from atop a rocket.

But then, if they didn't let logic interfere with the official ending, I suppose there's no reason they couldn't have made yours work.

"Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the sifties say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the sifties and the press and the whole world tell you to moob, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of boobs, and tell the whole world - "No, you moob." - Captain America.

It's funny, I wasn't even thinking about the yellow-clad Green Lantern when I mentioned that character. I guess that shows how much I like Alan Scott. I was thinking more Guy Gardner, John Stewart, and Kyle Raynor.

Makes you realize that in some ways, Peter Parker is an anomaly. Few major characters that old have had their alter egos left untouched by writers. The most extreme thing that comes close was that costume change in the 80s that fanboys went batshit over.

1. This character isn't even in the main continuity. What's the big freakin' deal?
2. @cito Second or third or fourth versions of a hero/villian happen all the time in comics, with another dude or woman inheriting the name and basic costume. E.g., Iron man, flash, batman, green lantern, batgirl, captain america, wonder woman, the list goes on---- hell, there were even 4 or 5 Supermen after they "killed" Superman in the 90s.
3. directed to noone in particular: You fuckin' fanboys who think that every damn major character has to be white, and that it's realistic that in the far future, most people are white, have got to start getting real.

No shit, I doubt if anyone is even alive that liked the original Green Lantern. This stuff is as old as comics.

Okay, then, they were just stupid movie people.

(I started to say that, but then decided to go nice with the technical consultant angle.)

It's still bad physics.

Come on - Thems were the 70s (1979) - They didn't even know what a technical consultant was,
(because they didn't exist)

The physics of it are what amuse me the most.
She's shot in the chest, but her head jerks back? I guess they couldn't afford a technical consultant.

I bet they make an Avengers movie.


The Avengers movie was announced in 2005, Nostradamus. It's due next May.
