camwynSo I've been to see Captain America. Two things I can say without spoilers: the Marvel Comics movieverse army was racially integrated in 1942, and Howard Stark was an awesome man.

Date: 2011-07-23 07:13 pm (UTC)Two things I'm greatly looking forward to in The Avengers:
Tony meeting Steve. I somehow have this feeling that their personalities will clash in an awesome way.
ALL THOSE MUSCLES ON ONE SCREEN. EEEEEEEE.

Date: 2011-07-23 11:13 pm (UTC)Which is kind of what I was planning to say in the first place but he was.... actually kind of not super-douchey.
Seriously Tony. At least be classy about it, like Howard. All douche gene, and 1% classy. Poor Tony.

Date: 2011-07-23 11:17 pm (UTC)...in a sense I guess it was classier than Tony tends to? But possibly that's just because in the 40s you had to be more oblique about your poorly timed come-ons.

In other matters, maybe we didn't see it because he's not the main character, but he didn't seem nearly as much of a privileged alcoholic that takes other people for granted. He was kind of a douche, but he seemed to work pretty okay with Steve. And he kind of didn't seem any more misogynistic than is appropriate for the time period. (Not that it's okay but he didn't seem ESPECIALLY so)

Date: 2011-07-23 11:32 pm (UTC)just looking at her reaction
it seemed like, joking or not, in that moment he took aim at her hard-won lady-in-a-misogynist-world more-badass-than-you cred and shot it out from under her.
and she got it BACK afterward, because she is AWESOME, but the look on her face and the way she was all "Here are the many practical reasons why he is flying this plane!" read to me as... I don't even know the word, but it did not inspire warm feelings towards Howard Stark in me. :(
ITT: Pyth and Sun take over Cam's post.
Date: 2011-07-23 11:42 pm (UTC)Which.... douchey, yeah. But it was kind of a one-large-moment-of-douche instead of Lots Of Douche.

Date: 2011-07-23 11:58 pm (UTC)He wasn't the BEST dad but he seems more responsible.
THE BIG CAVEAT! Given the era culture differences, Steve is still going to think that Tony is a giant bag of asshole. In my mind. I really can't wait to see it.
...And I want to know what's going on with Hulk. :< Having heard that Norton won't be reclaiming his role (basically because nobody wants to work with him twice) makes me le sad and wonder WHERE WILL HULK BE IN AVENGERS MOVIE.

Date: 2011-07-23 11:47 pm (UTC)It also had Percival "Pinky" Pinkerton, who years later they said they saw as, at the time, being gay, but at the same time the Commandos valued skill over everything else, so it didn't matter. (Having read some of the stories of the time, yeah, he was pretty much, to quote Quentin Crisp, one of the Stately Homos of Old England.)
