Captain America: First Avenger
So I've seen the movie and I have SPOILERY thoughts.
( They are made of SQUEE and CAPSLOCK and odd bits of meta. You have been warned. )

Let me just put it out there that I'm not a comic book fan/follower, so what's cannon/not cannon doesn't really affect me. I just enjoy superhero movies. That's why I love the perspective of someone like you who knows more about the source material so I can geek out about what makes you flail.
It's no secret that the rumor of Jensen possibly being cast as Cap had me gleeful, and I've harbored some resentment toward Chris Evans about it. I'm over that. He. Was. Perfect! This is my superhero! The whole optimistic, Boy Scout with a job to do WORKS for me! I'm desperately exctied for him to come face to face with Tony Stark.
I want the next movie to be four hours long. There is too much to accurately address in a two hour movie ( ... )

RE: Not a comic fangirl
We tease clex_monkie89 because she is a DC fan and you almost need to be a fan to follow the DC movies. Marvel has been very good at just opening the vault to the filmmakers and saying "Take what you want, feel free to make up, twist or bend as needed."
This is so awesome because you don't NEED to be a fan to enjoy the movie as a superhero movie. And the "in" jokes and references are not so sly that you can't catch up with a wiki read through.
RE: Jensen
See - I never really paid attention to the Jensen rumor, because the first I heard about it was when he said it was never true. LOL. But Jensen does "broken" so well, and I don't think of Cap as broken - so yeah, never bothered me.
RE: Boy Scout with a job to do
Yes. This works for me too. (Cap is often referred to as a Boy Scout in the books, btw.)
