well, in the comics he doesn't join the Avengers 'til around #4 or so, and doesn't take charge 'til around #16.

in WWII, his 'group' were The Invaders

The obligatory second viewing for us tonight.  We're just as excited to see it a second time as we were the first!

I think if the guy's name is America, WE should get to see the damned movie first. And then only allow it to be seen elsewhere if WE approve it and only when WE are through with it.  ;D

I'll let my daughter take that up with you  :2funny:

It does seem harsh that you're getting it after - and odd. I suppose there's some marketing reason for it...you know someone has crunched the figures and realised how to maximise profit. It's all about the profit margin.

Anyway - back and it was a superb as the first time. My wife will be going to see it next week with my daughter and - if it's still out the week after that, I'll go again I imagine.

Hey, I want no trouble with the Dredd-Daughter. If anybody gets to see it early, I'm glad it's the good folks in the Mother Country.

I heard the reason it's released internationally first is due to piracy concerns.  There are some overseas places that are notorious for pirating movies and getting it to them first lessens the damage they might do.

Why not do a global day release? Surely that would entirely minimise the piracy issue?

Off to see the Good Captain this afternoon. Opinions and smart-ass remarks to follow.

OK. Here we go. First, who would've believed that Steve Rogers and Scarlett Witch would turn-out to be brother and sister?  :o....... GOTCHA!  ;D Sorry. Just couldn't resist. Hey, I could've gone--- who would've guessed Tony Stark was gay? Or, how about that hot shower scene with Scarlett Witch and Black Widow?  ^-^

But seriously, this wasn't Captain America. It was really Avengers 3. Minus Hulk and Thor but needs those two 4-Letter Words. And worthy of the name it is. A truly great film superior to the other Cap's and Ultron and a very close second to Avengers 1. The airport fight scene is probably the best fight scene ever and the movie never seems to have too many heroes even though it has enough to fill a 747. I'd take a few points off for very fast, confusing action sequences and a slightly predictable ending which I won't ruin--- but no real sense of loss there. But I loved it. And BTW, there's 2 extra scenes at the end. Don't miss them. I gotta say 8.5 out of 10.
