Re: The First Avenger: Captain America Discussion Thread
Yes, it was a typo I do it everytime, I meant Golden Age shield. The Silver Age is defined for the most part with Marvel's entrance as Marvel and so I often forget that Marvel themselves has had quite a few heroes that were around in the Golden Age. I understand your point about Cap and keeping everything uniform but looking at the data from Marvel's films past where updates have always been done to the costume that recently have stayed out of the comic depictions and the strive is to make them more realistic and less "cartoony" for lack of a better word. I wouldn't get my hopes up on seeing Cap done as we are used to and while the Ultimates version is probably not going to be used something of a mix between the two is what we'll see.
Captain America's round shield did NOT debut in the "Silver Age" (maybe that was a simple typo on your part?)
