Op, no, you're not the only one. I've been conditioned to think that ALL superhero movies look stupid before I see them. Except for a few examples (Spiderman 2, the Christian Bale Batman franchise, Watchmen and a few others) I've been right.
So how come the guys in back get armored cups while the Captain gets pants that are hopefully not the next big thing in men's fashion?Can't see the picture (firewalled) .. but this is the current costume in the movie..
Is this the new costume?
As that looks pretty good to me and a lot less stupid than most superhero costumes (and lets face it a superhero without a stupid costume is pretty pointless).
They still need to make a film based on this guy though.
As far as Marvel superheros goes, Captain America is sort of a jingoistic cliche of the Office of War Information... the costume is just ridiculous. But that's fine, it was during WW2 after all.
But Marvel and Paramount are trying to turn it into a real-life movie with some quasi-realistic basis a la Batman Begins... with the guy still dressed up like the ambiguously gay version of uncle Sam. Am I really the only that thinks it's stupid?
That is Cap'n Crunch you fool.This is precisely how I've always felt about Cap'n America. Were it not for his cereal, I wouldn't give a damn.
What will be interesting is how they take a guy who has no real super powers and make a movie out of it.
He'll be the first non-super super hero.
And what are they going to do with him in the avengers movie? Cap'n can't stand up next to Thor or Iron Man. Will be interesting to see how they work him in with the 'real' super heros.
As a result of the Super-Soldier Serum he is transformed from a frail young man into a "perfect" specimen of human development and conditioning.
Captain America's strength, endurance, agility, speed, reflexes, durability, and healing are at the highest limits of natural human potential. Rogers' body regularly replenishes the super-soldier serum; it does not wear off.
The formula enhances all of his metabolic functions and prevents the build-up of fatigue poisons in his muscles, giving him endurance far in excess of an ordinary human being. This accounts for many of his extraordinary feats, including bench pressing 1100 pounds (500 kg) and running a mile (1.6 km) in little more than a minute.
Rogers cannot become intoxicated by alcohol, drugs, or impurities in the air and is immune to terrestrial diseases.
Rogers' battle experience and training make him an expert tactician and an excellent field commander, with his teammates frequently deferring to his orders in battle. Rogers' reflexes and senses are also extraordinarily keen. He has blended judo, western boxing, kickboxing, and gymnastics into his own unique fighting style and is a master of multiple martial arts. Years of practice with his indestructible shield make him able to aim and throw it with almost unerring accuracy. His skill with his shield is such that he can attack multiple targets in succession with a single throw or even cause a boomerang-like return from a throw to attack an enemy from behind. In canon, he is regarded by other skilled fighters as one of the best hand-to-hand combatants.

First, most posts above are ignorant.
Second, America has lost it's pride. No one knows their neighbor anymore. If all hell breaks loose your worst enemy is those next-door to you.
