	WWII all the way! Your best poll yet josh! BTW. . . Geoff Stults for Captain America! - Born in Detroit, Michigan - former pro football player - Height: 6'3 - relative unknown actor - recurring roles in 7th Heaven and October Road - staring in new ABC series this year PLUS, he dated Stacy Keibler Now THAT'S a role model :) And here's how I think the costume continuum should pan out: Steve Rogers settles for a job as an Army illustrator because he's not physically fit to serve in combat. Volunteers for the Super Soldier Program thinking it's his break to actually serve in a theater of war. After the experiment, the government parades him around in the Classic WWII suit solely as wartime propaganda. He doesn't want to play that role anymore, and forces the military to send him to war. He takes up a persona of a regular troop wearing standard issue fatigues and gear (no shield). He realizes that the soldiers on the front lines don't just need a leader, but a symbol to keep their moral high. The military sees that he does more good on the front lines (as it serves their propaganda agenda as well) and they ask him to don the costume again. He modifies the Classic costume into one that suits a war fighting mission (Ultimate WWII with pointed shield). Before the final battle, he is issued his new uniform and round shield (Classic or Ultimate costume) with a few armored upgrades. Frozen in ice. FIN MultiPurposePoni - 10/22/2009, 3:29 PM
	good choice people. but lets keep the helmet on. grif - 10/22/2009, 3:30 PM
	Thanks MULTI! :) And as I said before, thats a great idea for how the Cap movie should go! Though, Im still not entirely sold on Geoff Stults for Cap (though he's a better choice at least visually than several other names suggested!) I'll have to check out his acting skills sometime before I make any definite choice! Until then, Jensen Ackles for Captain America, lol! JoshW - 10/22/2009, 3:40 PM
	Um good lol! LEEE777 - 10/22/2009, 3:46 PM
	@josh: Go check out the new DAREDEVIL costume at the contest page! BTW, why is Batman starring at Superman's ass? And Wonder Dude looks like she/he has Down Syndrome. MultiPurposePoni - 10/22/2009, 3:50 PM
	This POLL is approved by The JASON & SAM Gang!!! ; D LEEE777 - 10/22/2009, 3:51 PM
	Yep, the gang of ONE ;) MultiPurposePoni - 10/22/2009, 3:55 PM
	LEE: Well, over 2000 people saw the point of this poll whilst you couldnt! ;) Oh and the poll does not accept the approval of Jason and Sam, hehe!!! MULTI: Lol!!! Thanks for the tip bud - DD is one of my favourite Marvel characters so I'll head over to check it out now! And please, feel free to post the pics of you Cap costume here seeing as its not only awesome, but the winner of this poll! JoshW - 10/22/2009, 3:56 PM
	Good, it should have won. The costume not only is fcking awesome looking, but it makes perfect sense considering the WW 2 setting of the movie. Then for Avengers, I'm not sure, but I definitely know I want the mask from Ultimate Cap. I think the head part looks great, without the wings and looking more modernized, fitting with the modern era of the Avengers movie. And I thought Dicaprio was your new favorite choice Lee? You've already dumped one actor for another, why not do it again? ;) InTylerWeTrust82* - 10/22/2009, 3:57 PM
	TYLER: LMAO! :D Im also not sure which costume would be best for The Avengers...I really like the Ultimate mask (with the chin strap thingy from Ultimates 2 especially) but the body of the suit should stick closely to the classic but use the awesome looking Ultimates comabt belt! If they dont use the wings then Id like to see something similar to whats on the Reborn mask! JoshW - 10/22/2009, 4:05 PM
	Josh: I wanted to talk about this for a few days, and since it's concerning Supernatural, which stars Jensen Ackles, who is the best choice for Cap, I thought I'd bring it up here: So I got done watching the season premiere of Season 5, right? Do you remember the part where the angels were telling Dean he was the Sword of Michael, and trying to convince him to let Michael take him over? Is it only me, or did you also get chills when Zacharia said "...stage four stomach cancer"? InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/22/2009, 4:07 PM
	TYLER: Most definitely! Over the past four seasons, there has been some really shocking moments but that was one of the most chilling moments I've seen in a TV show! The guy who plays Zacharia is a great actor - who ever would have thought that an angel could be such a bastard, lol? Just wait until you get until the episode, "The End"...! Oh, and dont forget to check out my 'Uncharted' motion comic article on the main page! :) JoshW - 10/22/2009, 4:23 PM
	im diggin the dicaprio idea,but in scenes w o costumes they would have too cgi bulk him a bit! he almost has too be a main actor(normally im against the a list)but its flipping captain america!!!! plus its gonna be hard too pull off any of his costumes in the real world!he cant be in ww2 forever ProfOJ - 10/22/2009, 5:05 PM
	Lol @ JOSH!! ; D Yo i never said i didn't see the point of this POLL, i voted?? The Ultimate WWII slash a mix of CLASSIC CAP in best for the CAP movie, though i want the round SHIELD!! Dunno about you?? LEEE777 - 10/22/2009, 5:05 PM
	First Avenger: Pure 100% WW 2 Ultimate Cap. No other changes necessary IMO. Triangular shield for most of the movie, gets round one as an upgrade for his final fight or something similar. Avengers: Mostly Ultimate Cap, particularly his accessories like brown belt, brown boots, and wing-less mask, with also a chin-strap like in the Reborn version, giving the mask more of a tactical feel. I don't think the Classic one with the feather-like chest would translate too well, I'd rather it just be smooth, as in the Ultimate costume again. Lee: "Dude i dont get this POLL?? He should have the modern look and the WWII look coz he's in WWII and the present??" LEEE777 - 10/20/2009, 4:01 PM InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/22/2009, 5:24 PM
	Good Job Josh :)...to be honest i dont want any of the choises cus im kinda tingly to see what new take they have :) LEEE@ In that pic Superman has bigger tits than Hawkgirl lol Multi@ Ackles for Cap Stults il take aswel tho :) teabag - 10/22/2009, 5:25 PM
	Ackles for Cap ;) InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/22/2009, 6:09 PM
	Oh cool, well I dont care about the costume as long as the actor rocks as Cap that was a cool poll josh now what is the next poll we need to answer? dancingmonkey08 - 10/22/2009, 6:43 PM
	TYLER: Lol, lets see LEE argue with that! :) teabag: Cheers mate! Yeah, their own take on the costume should be cool - I think each of these are great outfits so if they took a little inspiration from each we'd end up with something great! dancingmonkey08: Thanks! Im not sure - I was thinking of doing one to see whether CBM should include a new tab just for comic book news as i think that would be a really good addition to the site! On a seperate note, I just finished 'Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2' - what a waste of £40. Not only was the voic work bad but the graphics were poor and the story was shit. 4/10. Oh, and Ackles for Cap!!! :) JoshW - 10/22/2009, 7:10 PM
	@ Multi Wow! Never heard of that guy! And being a former pro football player would make him ideal for action scenes, certainly. Good find! MovieTheaterLad - 10/22/2009, 9:15 PM

	Damn he doesn't even have the trademark BLUE EYES to play CAP lmao!!! LEEE777 - 10/23/2009, 11:17 AM
	@MovieTheaterLad: Thanks man! I didn't find him, IronClad did, but I'm supporting the hell out of him! He meets the criteria most have mentioned are a MUST for the role: -Tall -Muscular -Relative obscurity, but not new to acting Do you want to know an interesting thing I thought of? Steve Rogers has blond hair and blue eyes. Most of the actors people are fan casting have stated blond hair and blue eyes are a prerequisite. Good logic, right? WRONG Here's why: Picking a natural blond/blue eyed actor is a mild hindrance to both audience association with the role of Cap, and prospective roles for the character to play in the future. For example: Mark Hamil or Christopher Reeve. Their most popular characters forced them to be type cast for their careers. Mark would always be Luke, Chris would always be Supes. The physical similarities between the character and the actor that portray them are too great. Now if you take an actor, like Geoff Stults, who has always appeared with brown hair and brown eyes (and alot of times a beard) and change his eye and hair color SPECIFICALLY for the Cap role, you've created distinct differences between his portrayal of Cap and other roles he has taken in the past. Sure people will know it's him. But you've created a large enough difference that it will help audiences associate him as Cap (while he's sporting the blond/blue), and leave enough leeway for him to take other major acting gigs (with his normal appearance) without taking the Cap 'baggage' with him. Make sense? MultiPurposePoni - 10/23/2009, 11:23 AM
	MISTER @ Nah man, your right it does look freaky, just like in JUDGE DREDD with STALLONE!!! : D Blue contacts on brown eyes are horrible lol, but seriously Ackles ain't a good enough actor to pull CAP off, theres way much better, but he is perfect for a lesser role like HAWKEYE though!! LEEE777 - 10/23/2009, 11:41 AM
	Good point, MPP. They absolutely could go with an actor and change his hair and eye color, and that would be fine with me. But what wouldn't be fine with me is if they didn't do anything at all. Yep if they got somebody with chartreuse hair and fuschia eyes it wouldn't sit too well with me lol DarthMulder - 10/23/2009, 12:19 PM
	Yeah that suit would be great!But i still say WWII Captain America:Reborn for the 1st movie,Ultimate Cap for the second(no helmet though).Triangular Sheild,Round for Final Fight. Nice pics Josh! Jensen Ackles for Captain America! Chris Pine for Hawkeye! NightAvenger4 - 10/23/2009, 1:34 PM

	Then they should change the name of the movie to "Ultimate Captain America" in my opinion. Cap wore the same uniform for 60 years. They start F#%{ing around with all kinds of variations over the last decade in alternate realities and suddenly the real one isn't good any more? Sorry. I've been a fan for nealy 40 years and I just don't care for changing an Icon.....period. They should no more change Cap's iconic uniform than they should Superman's.......but I suppose some new funked out version of that would also win a poll with today's comic book fans. niknik - 10/23/2009, 9:47 PM
	you know i was just thinking to myself as i scrolled past all those metrosexuals to make my post, shouldnt CAPTAIN AMERICA be played a man of some reasonable masculinity. Whoever he is shouldnt he be someone who compliments ROBERT DOWNEY JR's Tony Stark character. Give it to Brad Pitt or George Clooney. gaikinger - 10/23/2009, 10:59 PM

	@HeyVanity: Thanks man! Cap is my favorite comic character of all time. Do you want to read a great alternate timeline Cap story? Check out The Chosen by David Morrell THAT'S the Cap costume they need to use for the Avengers movie :) MultiPurposePoni - 10/24/2009, 6:16 AM
	The answer is pretty simple. Go with the Classic Captain America WW2 uniform, and during the movie after fighting the Red Skeleton and the rest of the forces of evil when he is frozen in time and discovered in the present he is introduced by Nick Fury and now is wearing the New modern Cap spandex uniform and has his new round shield. Hulk2008 - 10/24/2009, 10:42 AM
	@multi: the author is DAVID MORRELL? as in DAVID MORRELL-the author of some suspense novel? parascythe - 10/24/2009, 11:10 AM
	It seems that marvel is slowly and systematically updating of their A-list characters, IE Spiderman- Back tentacles, Ironman- Extremis... I would love to see them update Cap. In today's times he is out dated, but with a few key updates, he could be set to rule marvel once again. I, for one, am kinda tired of the whole anti-hero and reluctant hero story lines. Compared to this group, Cap is now unique and separated from this group because he is always there willing and able- A true born hero. The updates I would like to see: He IS the super soldier, so why not give him everything in a regular solders personal arsenal. The way I see it, using the helmet from the Ultimate universe you could have a drop down visual display. This would include night, heat, infrared, vision. He is the unquestioned leader, so he would need a communication device in there. Also, a wrist mounted rail gun that could propel his shield when a long range punch shot is needed. They could even give him a way to control this rail shot. The most important update would have to be to his super soldier serum. Why not have some nano-tech to enhance it. This would squash the negative argument that the serum was a enhanced steroid and sun tan. zoo - 10/24/2009, 4:59 PM
	@zoo: No. Just. . . no. That sounds like Captain America meets G.I.Joe: Rise of Cobra FAIL MultiPurposePoni - 10/24/2009, 5:19 PM
	@MultiPP: At first glance one might think that, but this a paradigm shift and you may lack the imagination to fully grasp the concept. zoo - 10/24/2009, 5:56 PM
	From what I've read on this site so far, no one wants Cap to look like Universal Soldier. Would you want him dressed in a Multi-Cam pattern as well? It's a more relevant uniform for combat. Captain America doesn't need 007 style toys. His weapons are his tactical mindset, superhuman agility and shield. He's a team leader, not a one man army. There's a difference between mild modernizations and character reinvention. You're talking about the later. MultiPurposePoni - 10/24/2009, 7:54 PM
	Good points, I don't want a Cap like that either. Consequently, that's why everything I mentioned is an interior adjustment to the uniform. Nothing changes on the exterior uniform. My example was to have a drop down display from his helmet (WWII: Reborn version, and my favorite.) I guess I should have specified the visual display to drop down from inside the eye hole. He may not be a one man army, but he's at least a one man battalion. The US would not have won WWII without Cap (In the Marvel U.) zoo - 10/24/2009, 8:21 PM

	zoo: Thank God you're not a comic book writer because that is the worst idea I have ever heard for a comic book character and a dreadful idea for Captain America! I dont "lack the imagination to fully grasp the concept" to picture it but it sound like a knock off version of GI Joe which isnt something that any movie should think about imitating seeing as the source is bad enough! Hell, with your idea you may as well make Thor a Norweigen rock star and Iron Man a man literally made of iron if you really want The Avengers to fail! And Im guessing you havent read a comic book for a few years as Spider-Man's "back tentacles" were part of his temporary Iron Spider outfit and Tony Stark no longer has the extremis armour! JoshW - 10/25/2009, 11:27 AM
	I never saw GI Joe and I'm really glad that I haven't. You could tell that it sucked from the previews. Apparently, the director did a horrible job conceptualizing the true vision that was necessary. That is likely the case here with my idea. I am not a writer, this is true, the idea is less extreme than you or Poni are liking it to. I stopped reading Cap a couple of years ago. When I was reading it, l was kinda pissed at the direction a bunch or writers were taking him. They all seemed to make him so out of touch that his persona was just a grumpy outsider. The writers were going in such a bad direction that I stopped reading. I hope that when they bring him back they don't go that same way. My suggestions were all spawned from when I detached, because of my distaste for the writers. I have HUGE hopes for this movie, my life will not be complete if it sucks. Zoo A true Cap fan, be it misguided sometimes.... zoo - 10/25/2009, 12:46 PM
	Multi & Ironclad- That's actually a damn good choice!!! Thanks for bringing a WORTHY choice to the competition, he is now my second choice, not someone i'd settle for but instead, someone i'd actually root for if Jensen didn't get the gig!!! Great job, guys ;) Multi- Good argument about the blond hair and blue eyes thingy ;) But my argument is that not every brown haired, brown eyed guy looks good with fake blond hair and blue eyes. I have no beef about getting a brownie like Stults and making him blond IF AND ONLY IF it turns out looking great. If he looks as shitty as Alba looked as Sue Storm, then NO!!! And to tell you the truth, your "Chris Reeve" argument is dated cause well, Chris's time was in the 80ies. Nowadays, NO ONE stays glued and doomed to a franchise, no one. Hugh Jackman, Chris Bale, RYAN REYNOLDS, you name it, it's an old way of thinking. Ackles will do fine ;) Shaman - 10/26/2009, 6:21 AM
	I'll say it again: Cap is Iconic. In fact you could argue that he's Marvel's ONLY iconic character. DC has Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Look at how closely they all resemble their initial incarnations an how little has changed since after about the first year or two of their existence. Batman's ears have varied in length a bit and he's had a yellow oval come and go from his chest emblem but that's it! Everything else is frogetable. Superman has pretty much only had the font of his "S" change since 1940. Every thing else they messed with was a dismal failure. Anyone remember Superman Red/ Superman Blue??? There are only a handful of comic book characters that fall into this catagory and Cap is one of them. Unless this film is going to be an "Ultimate Avengers" film, I will be dissapointed in any Cap uniform that doesn't closely follow the real thing. Judging from their choice in Nick Fury, I'm planning on being dissapointed in Cap's uniform. niknik - 10/26/2009, 11:06 AM
	The last costume that hollywood didn't change was Chris Reeve's Superman costume in the 80ies which belonged to an invincible alien. Spandex wasn't much of an issue. In every other vulnerable hero's point of view, alterations are imminent and so is dissapointment if you cling to childhood dreams. Logic and common sense never goes hand in hand with that. Surely you don't want Marvel to turn Captain America into a 2011 version of Adam West's Batman. Perception is relative so if you choose to be dissapointed, well then don't complain when you attain your goal. Shaman - 10/26/2009, 1:27 PM
	It has nothing to do with Childhood dreams. Looks an awful lot like you're patronizing me. Take it somewhere else. While you're at it, go buy yourself a current issue of a Superman book. I'm no child and what he wears currently is still 99% the same iconic uniform we've seen for decades. Now look at the films. Even the one Brandon Routh recently wore is very, very close to the original. Spider-man's costume in film has only the slightest subtle changes but for the most part looks just like the Marvel universe version he has worn for most of his existence. When the Wonder Woman film is made you can bet it's going to be very much like the version we all know. Batman on film is the one with the most changes, yet it's still very close to the real deal. All of these characters uniforms very nearly match their comic book versions and those haven't hardly changed in decades. You know why? Because they are ICONIC. That's my point. None of these are nearly as far away from their comic book likeness as Ultimate Cap's WWII uniform is from the real Caps uniform. That just looks like a standard military uniform with an A on the helmet, a star on the chest, a mask, and a shield for an accessory. The only place in comics you will see them changed and remain so is in some alternate (or "Ultimate") universe. If this film is supposed to be about the Marvel Universe Cap, then I think they should stick as close to the Marvel Universe version of his uniform as possible. I know they will make some subtle changes in his ensemble. They always do. Hollywood creators always seem to need to change for the sake of putting their stamp on it if for nothing else. Same goes for hollywood writers. If they go with "Ultimate" Cap visually, then they should be telling an Ultimate Cap tale in my opinon. If this is supposed to be a tale about the Marvel Universe Captain America, then his uniform should closely resemble the real thing. Again my point was simply that there are a handful of iconic characters that you don't go changing that drastically when you adapt them to film. How well would a Superman film go over with him wearing some kind of blue and yellow leather outfit with a mask? Not well I imagine. Wonder Woman in full body armor? Conan in a business suit? How about a blue Hulk? niknik - 10/27/2009, 11:35 AM
	First of all, YOU said you'd be DISSAPOINTED with the Ultimate suit instead of the classic suit yet you're "OK" with all the other changes that have occured with the movie renditions of other heroes' costumes. Newsflash, what's iconic about Cap's uniform is The Shield, The Star on his chest, The "A" on his forehead and the red white and blue PERIOD!!! And guess what??? The Ultimate uniform has all of it yet it's better adapted to our day and age which is alot less lenient on lack of common sense and logic than way back when you first started reading Cap comics. Second, i wasn't patronizing shit! You're obviously fond of the classic suit having followed his comics for a long time. That's why i used the term "childhood dreams" since it's the only reason why a long time fan of the hero would be against evolution and logical improvement. You're clinging onto the classic suit like it was a safety blanket. Let it go and open your eyes to finaly realise that there is always a logical reason behind "change". Having a "preference" is fine but DELIBERATELY setting yourself up for dissapointment by drastically dismissing logic is childish. If Cap appears on screen without his boyshorts and pirate boots, you'll be the only idiot balling under your blanket! "Conan in a business suit? How about a blue Hulk?" Any more retarded retorts to add??? What was iconic about Hulk is his green skin yet did they keep his purple pants??? Noooooooo, but it's probably so repressed that you'd feel like you were going through an enima trying to remember it. "I'm planning on being dissapointed in Cap's uniform." You're words, not mine! Stop acting like your 5, and take your tantrums elsewhere!!! Now THAT was damn patronizing and rightfully so. Shaman - 10/27/2009, 2:12 PM
	THIS is the Cap costume I want to see him issued in the Avengers movie: MultiPurposePoni - 10/27/2009, 3:56 PM
	Very nice suit, Poni! Even if i would be okay should they chose to tweek it with different gloves and no wings ;) And as for the period piece suit, the classic is fine and dandy for a comic book setting but there is no way in logical hell that the U.S. army would have let a soldier get into the trenches of WW2 with a mask, light blue spandex and a simple shield even IF he was "super". And you can bet your red money that Marvel isn't going to spend a dime on an Adam West vs. Hitler movie! Shaman - 10/28/2009, 6:04 AM
	@Shaman: The wings on his mask symbolize freedom. Removing that from the suit is a deal breaker for me. MultiPurposePoni - 10/28/2009, 7:36 AM
	I think the "A" and the Red, White and Blue already stand for freedom enough, without having to put on the wings IMO. And if they were to keep the wings, i'd prefer them being painted on like the reborn helmet. Shaman - 10/28/2009, 9:09 AM
	@Shaman: No, each part of his uniform stands for something different: - The wings symbolize freedom from oppression. - The shield symbolizes the strong protecting the weak. - The 'A' in place of military rank symbolizes leadership. - The uniform pattern (white star on blue field / red and white stripes)is the living embodiment of the America flag. If they explain the reasons behind the them in the film, it will make sense to the audience. If not, it's just a colorful uniform. I have no problem with painted wings, but they need to be on the headpiece somehow MultiPurposePoni - 10/28/2009, 10:15 AM
	Yeah, i knew that but i just felt that through history, "America" in itself has become world renound as the land of the free. So Cap is a representative of freedom from head to toe IMO. I get the "reason" behind the wings but in our day and age, i don't think it's a crucial part. But painted wings on each side is a great idea! I just don't wanna see anything "hangin' out" and floopin in the wind, ya know? It's icky ;P Shaman - 10/28/2009, 10:32 AM
	Floppy wings. . . eww MultiPurposePoni - 10/28/2009, 10:35 AM
	@Shaman. I never attacked you or belittled you. I simply stated what I prefer in a cap movie uniform. You respond with patronization and name calling. Now who is acting like the they're 5 and needs to grow up? Try to act like an adult and control yourself will you, or is that how you always treat people when their opinion is different than yours? Again, the Ultimate Cap WWII uniform is far far different from the real thing. It's not even close. Like I said, some minor changes are expected. Straying that far away from it is not proper for a Marvel Universe version of Cap in my opinion. Same goes for Superman. And again for the learning impaired: These are not just versions from anyone's childhood. No one is stuck in the past. They are CURRENT versions in the books TODAY! Get off that falicy already! If Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spider-man, and Captain America still look like that TODAY, then they should closely resemble it in their film incarnations. Too much of a departure doesn't go over well with most when it's an iconic figure. Especially to the general non-comic book reading public who have that iconic image in their minds. Now go check your ritalin dosage before you reply with a barrage of insults. Multi, the version you posted is good. They could even give him a helmet for when in combat during the war. niknik - 10/28/2009, 11:32 AM
	NikNik- Hold your [frick]ing horses, i never belittled you in my first comment. And you did NOT simply state your preference because if you had, we wouldn't be having this conversation. You stated your intention of pre-programming yourself for dissapointment should Marvel opt for the ultimate uniform. Those are two way different things. Now all i responded was that the change IS LOGICAL as i have explained more than once, and that you were BOUND of your own free will to be dissapointed. I then said that IF you were to stick to your guns, to not bother yourself waisting time complaining since you pretty much asked for it. THAT'S IT, THAT'S ALL!!! Nothing more. Then YOU had to retaliate with an attack, yes YOU attacked. You labeled me as patronizing and told me to go elsewhere. That's an attack. Then you replied with unnecessarily extremist and quite retarded arguments like a "blue hulk, a conan in a businees suit, a full body armored wonder woman and a superman in a yellow leather outfit". THAT IS RETARDED!!! And YOU'RE asking ME to take medication??? Cap's WW2 Ultimate uniform is NO DIFFERENT than the changes that were brought to Batman in the movies. NO DIFFERENT!!! YOU weren't bothered with those changes in the slightest. YOU are okay with Batman changing colors COMPLETELY and getting body armor yet you are not okay with Marvel giving Cap regular WW2 soldier attire but KEEPING EVERYTHING that is ICONIC such as the star on his chest, the A on his forehead, the american flag's colors and the shield!!! Batman IS NOT an invincible alien, nor is he a gamma radiated monster, nor is he a goddess of truth, nor is he a [frick]ing barbarian so it would be RETARDED for him to run in the streets in light blue and grey spandex even though he still appears in his spandex in the CURRENT VERSIONS of his comics TODAY!!! Cap is not anymore invincible than Batman and it would be just as RETARDED for him to run around in light blue spandex IN THE TRENCHES OF WORLD [frick]ING WAR 2 no less!!! NO ONE from the "general non-comic book reading public" has the classic ww2 uniform in mind!!! THEY HAVE THE CURRENT ONE IN MIND which is still different from either WW2 versions of the suit and TOTALLY INACCURATE for a period piece setting!!! Yet you concider me part of the "learning impared". You have proven to be far from childish but rather a monument of intellectual AND LOGICAL deficiency especially in your last two comments. Before labeling people as "learning impared" and telling them to take medication, making yourself look like a challenged individual, learn common sense or ask a responsible adult for help. Shaman - 10/28/2009, 1:09 PM
	Go back and read your first response. I give my opinion on what I feel Cap should look like in the first film and you respond by inferring that I'm "clinging to childhood dreams" and that "logic and common sense never go hand in hand with that". Basically my opinion (because it's different than yours?) is "childish" and lacks "logic and common sense". It's all there in black and white. Now look up "Patronizing" or "Condescending" in the dictionary. If the shoe fits..... Then you continue with the condescension by refering to me "clinging to the classic suit like its a safety blanket" and "you'll be the only idiot balling under your blanket!". Again, if the shoe fits..... That's not patronizing? That's not condescending? That's not a direct attack on me? And what's my alleged attack on you at this point? I said that you were patronizing me......and it's clear that you were as it's all there to read. Thats it. No name calling. No attack. I just said that your response was patronizing. I'm sure most people that read that would have to agree. It's not hard to see. All I did to start with was offer my opinion. You respond not just with an intelligent, alternate viewpoint, but rather with name calling. You are what you are. Now once again you rant with a tirade and a barrage of direct attacks like "RETARDED". That's great. Retarded. Just how old are you? Seriously! How old are you?!!! You can respond with whatever you like now because I won't even bother to read it, as I have determined you are far too immature to have any sort of discussion with and I really don't have time in my life to keep on dealing with people like you. niknik - 10/29/2009, 9:34 AM
	For those of you that have been asking: MultiPurposePoni - 10/29/2009, 11:14 AM
	Niknik- I don't give a shit how old YOU are so why would MY age matter? Illogical reasoning is what it is at any age. If the shoe fits... Explain to me where the logic lies in saying that Batman's movie costume is an accurate modification but Ultimate WW2 Cap's wouldn't be! Give us your logical explanation and we'll tell you if it makes sense. EVERY ICONIC ELEMENT from the classic suit is kept in the ultimate one. The only things changed is the fabric and the lack of Red Pirate Boots. Batman went through the same changes and you ended up being okay with them. Your whole comment starting with this: "I'll say it again: Cap is Iconic." and following with this: "I will be dissapointed in any Cap uniform that doesn't closely follow the real thing. Judging from their choice in Nick Fury, I'm planning on being dissapointed in Cap's uniform." You are HELLBENT on voicing your "programmed dissapointment" starting back to your first comment, which seemed insulting to "today's comic book fans" as you put it. Your choice of words is way too extremist to ever be concidered as "simply stating a preference". And no matter how you look at it and no matter how old you are, having a "preference" is fine, but "planning" on being dissapointed is in FACT childish. It sounds like a pouting infant that goes on a strike for not getting what he wants. My comment was that you shouldn't bother complaining AFTER you see the film since your doing it now even though no concept art has even been released. As for my first comment, there was nothing patronizing about it FOR THE THIRD TIME, you jumped to an immature conclusion which is why my second comment was THEN MEANT to be patronizing. I even stated it at the end, yet you felt compelled to include my second comment in your "patronizing examples". Yes, you make loads of sarcastic sense. Here's something you might understand: DDUUUUUUUHHHHH!!!! Shaman - 10/29/2009, 1:52 PM
	How do I post some pics I've drawn of Cap? zoo - 10/29/2009, 8:19 PM
	GREAT COSTUME, Multi!!! ;) Shaman - 10/30/2009, 8:49 AM
	@Multi Cool, I'll definitely check that out. [frick]ing sick costume btw. That's awesome. HeyVanity - 11/1/2009, 3:23 PM
	Josh Duhamel for Cap after Ackles ReyVan27 - 11/5/2009, 6:35 PM

	i think that ackles would be perfect for a ww2 captain america i mean picture him with a bit of a beard he looks just like this picture http://img348.imageshack.us/img348/4929/074kr.jpg. But i think that jason lewis looks exactly like the picture that leee777 posted and he seems built enought.. But if i had to pick i would chose jason lewis as the perfect captain america look alike but can he act the role? 80sboytellem - 11/9/2009, 10:28 PM
