@TheManFromMars

The first movie was a Steve Rodgers movie, and I loved it. So was batman begins, iron man, Spider-Man 2, supes 2, pretty much all the good ones.

This question can be summed up with the same dramatic question from Iron Man 3. Does the suit make the man, or does the man make the suit?

I with you TheManFromMars, I mean yes I would love to see more of Cap's suit, but as long as the story is strong, It doesn't matter if the suit never makes an appearance in the film for me. I brought this up earlier on a different article.

Wait...why wouldn't it be a Steve Rogers movie?
Iron Man has always been a 'Tony Stark' movie.

They both dress up as heroes but in the end of the day, it should be about who they really are.

He seriously deserves some more character development.
Hopefully he'll get on par with Tony Stark.

Just read your post @TheManFromMars...better said than me.

You get it.

The costume does not make the hero...or does it? Thats what IM3 spent its time answering.

Despite all the complaints about IM3, I loved seeing Tony Stark use his brain outside of the shell of Iron Man. He proved that Tony Stark makes Iron Man and Iron Man is not just when he puts on the armor.

Steve Rogers IS Captain America, suit or not suit. The suit is nothing more than a symbol. Steve is the vessel that contains the power, the morals, the bravery,the honor that will be tested throughout the course of his adventures.

The costume is a bonus. Seeing these characters we love brought to life in the movie is the real reward.

@TheManFromMars

You do have a good point mate and I do agree with you but trying to put myself in everyone's shoes I think that what people like about these heroes is that they hare heroes in "colors".

For a long time the comic book culture was something judged silly by the majority and maybe there is here a fear that by making these heroes less super with less of costume / suit action. Also that it will take away from the cultural dimension they cherish.

I am happy no matter what because we truly live in a fricking awesome time. My favorites books being transposed to the screen is just awesome in itself so I don't nitpick and I still take joy in watching movies such as GL or the first Hulk because it is just too cool to see my heroes from back when I was a kid on screen.

Now I also think people love to complain :)

anyway, love to you all... even Gusto and blackandyellow (and they support the pens ;) )

Well they are doing it like im3 with tony more and im less.

As long as bucky does'nt turn out to be an actor like trevor i m ok with it.

I strongly feel this will be The Dark Knight for Marvel. An instant classic. If This movie is great, we could have a potential great CBM trilogy or even more. I want this movie to be a thriller, not the average superhero movie.

As much as I like Iron Man 3, it was just too cliched for me. But I want this movie to be a lot more. I have high hopes. Don't disappoint RUSSOS!

@Manfrommars

I get what you're saying, but I think few movies have a compelling enough alter ego to do that. It's one of the reasons I disliked Hulk. I liked Thor, Cap, and IM because the characters were still interesting out of costume. That is the main beef I think.

So after avengers proved definitively that colorfully costumed characters CAN work on the big screen, let's just take them all out of what we had working there and go with the opposite.

I do think Cap 2 will be a fairly decent flick or better, but after iron man 3 I'm not expecting guaranteed greatness.

He's still the same guy in or out of costume. He has no secret id in this universe. So there is really nothing different between the two.

That said I'm glad they will concentrate on Steve as a person. That's what I've really loved about Evan's performance with Cap. Yes, he is a good man. A legend. But he is a person. He has emotions. Conflicts. Like everyone else. He just chooses to be the best no matter what. And I respect and look up to the character because of that.

In terms of Captain America being out of the suit it doesn't matter to me because he's still Captain America. Now Iron Man being out of the suit people will say something well because that's his powers it's his suit, so if he's not in it kind of hard to see him doing cool stuff when he's out of it. Now I commend Shane Black and crew for what they did do in IM3 with him out of the suit most of the time. As for Spider-Man there's a reason he wears the suit that's to protect his identity so him being constantly out of it makes it hard to protect. It doesn't matter with Cap because you know who he is anyway.

This is the way I see it.
In the First Avenger, it's all about the world making a place for Captain America. Seriously, it's like when you go to the hospital and you've got TONS of paperwork to fill out. Then they take your blood pressure, your weight, sometimes your temperature, and then let you sit in an exam room on a plastic bed with a tear-out paper sheet streaming across it. You sit there between 15-45 minutes if you're lucky, and then it's time to be admitted.

So then you're either walked down a series of hallways or wheeled in a chair to your room where it's dark and not so much creepy as it is just boring. If you're very lucky, the person leading you in will also tear open a square package containing an alcohol wipe to sterilize a certain area of skin on your arm/hand. And then comes the magic, the little prick. And suddenly you are then completely at their mercy. All illusions of trying to just excuse yourself are gone, you ARE going to leave when they want you to.

...

Ok, so Cap wasn't like that, but you get the picture.

From the production pics, the spy photos, and the basic premise, it looks to be as though Steve is going to be ripping that IV out of his freakin arm, slapping his own little band-aid on the hole, and getting to work.

And that's what we all want to see.

@ManFromMars - Well said and I agree completely.

@Levi in serious mode - Well said and I agree completely... except the Detroit dis!

The Cleveland stuff we have seen so far is telling my inner Sherlock that this was an ambush on the heroes, and they got caught in their civvies.

Wait, we're really talking about his costume?
Ever gone to work before, clocked in, and then had your manager take you aside and asked if you slept in your uniform because it's so wrinkled? And you don't really care because you're just going to sweat and get dirty in that shirt anyway, so what difference is it really gonna make?

That's how I'm looking at this article now.
