One thing I liked about
Captain America
was the realistic nature of some of the German secret weapons. Germany did a lot of experimenting with flying-wing aircraft, as a way of getting the range needed for bombers to fly to America and back, and to improve performance of the era's relatively crude jet and rocket engines.
Then there's this thing:

I don't think a prototype of that ever flew.
Yep. Marvel canon.
I want to see it again now.
I kept wondering when I was watching it who the heck the
actor playing the English Howling Commando (memefault on name) was, because WOW, he looked familiar. Which would be because it's JJ Feild, and I saw him in the last movie I saw in theatres, Third Star. He impressed me enough in that that I kept meaning to find something else he'd been in and watch it.
I haven't seen Captain America yet, but Chatty!co-worker did, and he mentioned
a musical number.
Is that bullshit? Are talking, like,
music playing over a montage?
Or more like
Dr. Horrible?
I'm assuming the first, because something like
Dr. Horrible
would be spoiled faster than potato salad at a picnic in Hell.
Tep,
neither. Also, it's STUCK IN MY HEAD.
Christopher Judge cast in
The Dark Knight Rising.
They did have a nod to the incongruity of
an Asian man on the troop, which was something.
It's a perfectly honourable musical number. Bear in mind, Cap punches a
submarine.
Which totally makes up for it.
Raq, re: your whitefont
Also, what ever came of the good guys getting a sample of Cosmic Cube Juice?,
do you mean when
Howard Stark found the cube
? I assumed that would be addressed in The Avengers.
ita, yes, and
he didn't die, either!!
Steph, it's somewhat tied to the storyline. Whether that bit is true to Capt. America canon, I have no idea.
Loki
is the bad guy for the Avengers, so the cosmic cube guesses make sense.
Also I watched HP 7.1 last night with my roommate. Damn, I've forgotten so much of what happened in that book. I expected
Hedwig's death, but had forgotten about MadEye and Dobby
. Now to see 7.2.
