Greetings, true believers! The Mast is here and I am winning you back, like Bart Simpson.
Thursday's Comics are delayed until tomorrow due to slow shipping, BUT...I have some potentially exciting news!
With the upcoming Thor and Captain America movies being very anticipated, especially due to the success of Iron Man/Iron Man 2, people are wondering what the characters will look like. Now, we've already seen a from-above shot of Thor (I posted it to this blog) and he looks pretty dang good. What of Captain America?
I am always skeptical when it comes to rumours, so here are some ALLEGED shots of Captain America's design, as well as a new Thor shot.
The Thor one looks decidedly more real, so I'll discuss that first. If this is the movie costume, I am pleased. I wish the outfit was black instead of the armour being a black/blue colour, and I don't particularly dig the trousers on him. I would have liked a style more alike to the top half, J. Michael Straczynski style (As in the silvery material on his arms and black boots).
Regardless, I think he looks pretty awesome. I'm hoping they give him some kind of helmet, because to give him everything else and not a helmet would suck, but I'm generally fine with the way he looks. Bearing in mind, that is a heavily photoshopped picture against a white background, it's not doing justice.
As for Cap...well. If that IS the official outfit, despite having to see Chris Evans in it to be able to judge, I'm madly into it. It may be one of my fav comic-to-movie costume adaptations. Bearing in mind that's just his first uniform, it's pretty fitting for a World War 2 movie. I did kind of hope they'd give him the helmet instead of a full mask, but it looks good. They kept the A on his head, but I'm wondering if they'll ditch the wings for his modern suit. I wouldn't mind if they did, so long as they keep the A.
What do you think? Let me know! Don't forget to tune in for Thursday's comics tomorrow, too.
Until then, peace.
