Of the four showcased in the Marvel Cinematic Universe thus far – Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Captain America – I would say, Captain America wins my heart. He is humble with a never give up attitude. He is keen to contribute, in whatever capacity he can. He represents the common people and when he wields his power, he completes his missions with a team. At times he has the whole army behind him. In this aspect, Captain America is unique among the four. He is a character I can most relate to.
The story is set in the World War II era. Hugo Weaving plays the role of Hitler’s head of advanced weaponry and he is the bad guy. Captain America, together with the US soldiers and defected German scientists play the good guys. It is an alternative universe when laser guns can vaporize opponents and open up walls. Chris Evans has a likable personality, perfect for the role of Captain America.
I am often intrigued by filmmakers’ choice of love interests for the superheroes. Don’t they deserve … better? Perhaps Hayley Atwell has this classic look. Do you agree with filmmaker’s choice? As for me, I have been scratching my head ever since the day I watched the trailer.
Like all the Marvel Cinematic Universe inspired movies, if you have the patience to sit through the end credits, you will be rewarded with a short clip. In additional, there is a trailer for The Avengers due to be out on May 2012. Looking at the casting list, my heart goes kaboom! Yes, Scarlett Johansson, I am going to watch The Avengers because of you. It is disappointing that Edward Norton is replaced by Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk. In any case, I have high hope for The Avengers, especially after seeing so many clips of its forthcoming over the years. That has to be good, yes?
So tell me, of the five movies – Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, and Captain America, which ones are your favorites? For me, I like Iron Man and Thor best.
