I think it was self-aware, I don't think it was ironic. What better way to guarantee viewers outside of fans of the comics than to tap into that "FUCK YEAH!" mentality that dominates various parts of the country?Rooster Cogburn said:In this case, you have to take it with a pinch of self-aware irony. The guy's name is 'Captain America', after all. This is your chance to join the fun and have some laughs at it as well.Woodsey said:OT: I think it looks good. The marketing has been a tad off-putting though: "HEROES... ARE MADE... IN AMERICA." Almost threw up on myself.

Why do you care? This is like complaining that Dr. Who treats England like its the only place on the planet that actually matters(most of the time). Frequently stuff made in the US treat the US as the center of the world and stuff made in England treat England like its the center of the world. I bet stuff made in France\Russia\China\where ever treat France\Russia\China\where ever like its the center of the world.Gizmo1990 said:So I am from the UK (England if you want to be picky) and have seen a few of the Captain America trailers now and I find myself not really giving a crap. Iron man was good. hulk remake was ok. Thor was really good but Captain America do not care. maybe it is because it IS Captain America and like I have said i am not from America and maybe the whole reason alot of people like him is because of the whole America thing.
Maybe its because most WW2 movies to come out of hollywood are just "and then America came and won all by themselves. yay America!!" and I hate that.
For the record this IS NOT a rant about America or WW2 i am well aware that without them Britin could not have lasted much longer than we did and i know alot of American's died as well.
Anyway what do you guys think. About Captain America not the war.
