My head has just exploded!!!!!

COMIC-CON 2010: 'Captain America' director has different spin on hero: 'He's not a flag-waver' | Hero Complex | Los Angeles Times

The director of "Captain America: The First Avenger," the 2011 summer blockbuster that will coincide with the character's 70th anniversary, says the screen version of the hero will be true to his roots -- up to a certain point.

"He wants to serve his country, but he's not this sort of jingoistic American flag-waver," Johnston said. "He's just a good person. We make a point of that in the script: Don't change who you are once you go from Steve Rogers to this super-soldier; you have to stay who you are inside, that's really what's important more than your strength and everything. It'll be interesting and fun to put a different spin on the character and one that the fans are really going to appreciate."

Captain America is all about America! If he's not fighting for the red-white-and-blue and preserving Christian values, then he's not Captain America.

I grew up reading Captain America comics, but I'm definitely not going to see this movie that turns him into a commie.

You know who else fought to save their country?

Hitler!

The can just make his costume read and call in him "Comrade Obama" if they are going to push crap like that.

I hope his movies bombs and the Republicans subpoena his ass to explain himself when the GOP takes over the government next November.

Isn't it about time that they made a true movie about Jesus, where all the dialog comes from the KJV1611 Bible? I'd go and see that!

So, are they going to call him Captain World or Captain Earth or Captain Planet or something?

That weirdo Tom Cruise had a cartoon show when I was little called Captain Planet.
It wasn't very good and I think he was a gay too, but I could be wrong, I was reaaalllly young.

........ Captain Planet..........

Please, No Rainbow Colors!

Don't tell me they're making our beloved Captain America into a queer. Is nothing sacred?

We might also want to pray about the Thor movie in production right now. Thor is a false god. He wears red and blue, he has wings on his helmet . . . wait, are we discussing Captian America again?

Another thought . . . The G.I. Joe movie that was out last summer? It was not only a piece of cinematic excrement, but the "Joes" as they were referred to in the film, were made into an international military force, brought together by cooperation between different goverments. So much for "The All American Hero. . ."

If they want to neuter Captain America, why don't they just repackage him as Captain European Union ??
