I think in the comics, it’s moved around a bit exactly what Steve Rogers is. I vaguely remember in the 80s, it was always said that he was peak human, maxed out across all abilities. Same thing as Batman. They’ve probably changed that a dozen times since then (and the comics can have standard humans jumping 20 feet in the air anyway). The MCU have always had him as super human which makes a lot more sense with the things they get him to do. That shield is a ridiculous weapon anyway but it just about hangs together if the guy chucking it around at 100 mph and ricochetting it off two baddies is super powered.superflyninja wrote:Agree with the floaty nature of the first two episodes. I thought this would have been fairly tight seeing as its only 6 episodes. I forgot to mention I really liked the new Cap. As in the actor, the actual character is a dick. I still tihnk its pure nonsense that a non superhuman gets to be cap. Wonder if he will get a supersolider dose and turn evil?
Falcon with actual super powers would be cool though.
Yeah, this new Cap doesn't appear to be a super-soldier (yet), but in the truck-top fight scene, he got his ass handed to him, was punched (by a SS) off the top of a speeding truck, went flying into the windscreen of a moving car, and ended up bouncing down the road...and didn't so much as have a scratch on him. He should either be in intensive care, or dead now.monkey wrote:I think in the comics, it’s moved around a bit exactly what Steve Rogers is.

I get that, it's like Batman in a way. However Batman works because he fights mostly non enhanced humans. Whereas MCU cap would be routinely fighting superhumans and be nothing but a glorified, easily adult killed grunt. Bucky could snap him in half like that *clicks fingers*MattyJ wrote:The whole point of Cap was he was more than just the serum, it was the man behind it which made him who he was. That's why he gave it to Falcon rather than someone who was metahuman. Cap could see in Falcon what being Cap is about.... Now we wait for the show to make that clear to us and Falcon himself.

Falcon could barely hold his own in episode 1. I guess this series will show he is the right symbol to have and then magically give him the superpower he needs
