: : if you had vets working with the writer and/or the director on the project, like with SPR and Thin Red Line (which I liked, I don't care what anybody else says), it could be done tastefully. Of course this is all mere conjecture as it's doubtful that anyone would want to give Cap another crack at the big screen. Wouldn't you agree?
: Artisan wants to bring Cap back, actually.
: That said, here's how a CAPTAIN AMERICA meeting with real Vets would go:
: VET: And then my best friend Mickey threw me into a foxhole and saved my life, but he lost his leg in the process...
: MOVIE GUY: Hmmmmmmmmmmm...what if Mickey had a shield...painted like a flag...do you think he could have deflected the enemy's lasers?
: VET: Lasers? What are you...they were bullets, just regular bullets---
: MOVIE GUY: That's GREAT, the shield will DEFINITELY deflect bullets. Now whenever you lost a friend in the war, did it make you want to have an origin of some kind?
: VET: What?
: MOVIE GUY: You know, did it make you want to put on Spandex and fight Kang? Where are you going? You can't leave...
