CAPTAIN AMERCA: THE FIRST AVENGER (2011)

show notes

The Ballad of Tony and Steve continues with the origin of the Sentinel of Liberty, himself! But how do you get modern audiences to care about a character who wears the American flag for a costume and fights a red skeleton Nazi?
Well, Steve Rogers may have been a 95lbs weakling (soaking wet), but he had the heart of a good man and getting the audience to fall in love with him was what Kevin Feige, writers Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely, and director Joe Johnston decided to focus all of their attention on with his period set origin film. Would it pay off? Or would Marvel fans ultimately find Cap’s first film forgettable?
This is CAPTAIN AMERCA: THE FIRST AVENGER.
