Yeah I'm still not sure about this. I'm still hurting after Green Lantern.

Meh, looks all style, no substance. Honestly, if it manages to avoid being just AMERICA FUCK YEAH propaganda, it'll be a win already.

America, Fuck Yeah! Captain America is going to be awesome! If this is as good as Thor, then the Avengers will be a god sent... Destroying the Earth a few months before the Mayan's prediction.

So so good is too much. It has potential but don't forget this guy has been a jackass super hero before. It will be a solid 7 is my prediction

Could you do me a favor, Mr. Hamza, and tell someone to get rid of the word 'fuck' out of Dale Norths Bio? How bout f$%k instead? even IGN is not that bad.

@Zeevo: Why does the word "fuck" offend you and not the other inappropriate things they do on this site? This site has never played itself to be kid safe or a safe for work site.

Safe for work I could care less about, but yea, kids could see that, and it is inappropriate. They used to have half naked asian chicks as header images, and now its animals. The next thing they fix, I think, should be the use of those words.

Your going to go the 12 year old route, and start an arguement online. Yikes. And your not even 12.. :D I just pointed out it was in his bio, he prolly didnt even write it. It shouldnt be in there tho. The word 'fuck' should not be in someones bio.

Mr. Hamza i would appreciate it if you could ask Mr. Dale to change the word "fuck" in his bio to "eff" because not even people on effin' IGN would use that word, gosh dang it!? If you could it would be swell, thanks a bunch for an othewise glorious place on the www i can visit and have a wonderful time.

Letters numbers and spaces are ok
Only if they reveal a fundamental truth in the way history is portrayed etc in the film. Hopefully it is unlike XMEN origins which uses history yet never justifies itself, XMEN was a simple meaningless mess with horrible characterisation to-boot. While the original Captain America was first made even before the nation joined the war, which is interesting, almost an outcry for the nation to join the war even though the government pretty much did nothing directly until they were pushed. Almost a portrayal of what America SHOULD have done, but didn't do, hence allowing even more to die.
So IMO if they have a lot to play with in Captain America and with the continual American psyche and how USA approaches war ever since their late WW2 performance (which is more without-hesitation). So they can either do it really well, or really badly; I'm guessing the later with how dumbed-downed super hero films are now days.

Marvel movies haven't let me down yet, Captain America doesn't look like it'll change that perception.

@zeevo: Why should the word "fuck" not be in someone's bio? Why would you assume he didn't write it? It isn't a celebrity Facebook page.

Plus with Jim Sterling's very existence (no offense really Jim :D) on this site, I think Dale's use of the word fuck is the least of a parent's worries.

@zeevo Do you know what, I hardly ever swear on the internet & even less so in person. But in this case I'll make an exception, FUCK OFF!

Why is Johnny Storm also Captain America? That makes no fucking sense.

Because Fox made some shitty non-marvel-movie-canon Fantastic Four movies (though I believe he pulled off the role well). Marvel Studios, if they ever get the F4 rights back, will probably reboot the series.

It's just a liiiitle bit too cheesy for me. I was totally buying it up until the shield gets put on, the the tag line "heroes are made in america" but the whole thing toppled into ridiculous with "I'm just a kid from Brooklyn".

Are you? Do you get to become president too? Did you follow your dream? I want to vomit.
