Interview with Joe Johnston on Captain America: The First Avenger

@ThreeBigTacos- i agree
it feels good to hear something about Cap

@ Coloso

Not that it really matters, but; Cap is significantly more powerful than Blonsky was in that film. It is the same KIND of power Cap has. Only his power (Cap), is more potent because his serum was much more powerful.

With Blonskys serum they were injecting what the TIH film alludes to as one of a few failed SS program serums witch had attempted to replicate Cap throughout the years since his original inception. They all obviously failed in some way or another at trying to duplicate the originals potency, albeit not a total failure with the serum Blonsky received in particular; also vita-rays weren't used with Blonsky as they were in Caps experiment if that does anything for you.

ThunderBolt Ross pretty well states all this saying it was shown to have some "negative side effects", or something along his desperate line of "I probably shouldn't because you'll go insane, but I'll do anything to win" kind of logic.

My point is they never came close to duplicating the results the original serum gave, as well, even when they did get some results with it, it wasn't without a bunch of serious side effects.

Whether thats because of Steve Rogers himself compared to all the others or the formula itself we don't actually know yet. But it think its safe to assume that it was a whole lot of both.

FURTHER MORE; it is as much the man who receives/wields the serums power in the metaphoric sense as it is the physical powers themselves because, in the films MCU continuity its been/is being established that the serum brings out a specific persons for lack of a better term, true self. Their true motive manifests physically with their powers... Witch would be why Blonsky grew increasingly more psychotic even before becoming Abomination and why The Red Skull looks like a monster while Cap still looked the same as he did, himself, human, only the perfect version of him, reflected physically by the Super Soldier Serum as his motives were/are good, not evil.

Spastic nerd rant, over.

@coloso. I'm glad someone else has finally made that connection! I've just spent the last 1/2 hour searching for a very d interview where Feige is discussing Easter eggs in The Incredible Hulk and he was that, as well as the serum, the way Blonsky moves and fights the Hulk in the college scene is also supposed to be a teaser for Captain America. It was on this site (I'm reasonably sure).

interesting interview! and finally some good news! ;) this week has been kinda slow... lol

@ Coloso

I knew thats what you had meant, I was just attempting to point out the difference in over all ability between Blonsky and Cap. I figured you'd already know WHY I just felt like explaining it anyway... lol JUST IN CASE

Also, how isn't this main?

I'm glad that JJ has referenced the fact that CA has an vulnerability to him. Really raises the stakes knowing that he Cap is going into a war situation and can get hurt.

One of the difficulties the writers had with Thor is that once he has his hammer he is pretty much indestructable - the destroyer never stood a chance in the final battle!

@kid dude u cant turn a turd into a ribeye
oh and it was miles above The Lost World.
Johnston is Pitch perfect for Cap

What about Jumanji??

I personally think TIK would have made much more narrative sense once CA:TFA had already been out in cinemas. Plus, it might have meant we'd have had the same leading actor in both TIK and Avengers.

But I get totally what you are saying Coloso - a glimpse at the kind of visual style they will bring to Cap in his fight scenes. Gets the juices flowing.

F that politiclly correct crap. If we would of had all these whining lib's movie star's and pansy a#@ actor's in WW2 we would all be speaking german or be a lamp shade. ALL I GOTTA SAY IS CAPTAIN AMERICA F@#$ YEA!!!!!
