Captain America: The First Poster Boy
 |
?You know, with all the good-looking Captain America footage that’s been coming out, I’d totally forgotten the potentially upsetting plot development where he was a performer in the USO shows — that’s the first look at him in his very appropriately goofy 1940s USO outfit above, of course. Of course, when I say potentially upsetting, I mean I was upset, but no longer; I had been afraid that they ignoring the Super-Soldier origin for some kind of costumed USO performer does good thing, but after watching a ridiculously built Chris Evans pop out of that tube in a hundred different trailers, that’s clearly not the case. So this is fine. Carry on, Captain America movie. And thanks to Jamey B. for the tip. (Via Joblo)
