What things did we learn for AMERICA?!

[Trekker4747]

Well?

[D.B. Barnes]

TODAY!!!

[Trekker4747]

One thing I learned is that apparently Army trucks keep boxes full of dummy grenades on hand.

[Darth Geek]

I learned that Kevin goes to Tom O Finland. Often.

The Cosmic Cube is not something you bury, but apparently you put it in a drawer.

[Compound]

I never really considered the option of Nazi Hobos. Huh.

[Darth Geek]

You don't win wars with kindness. You win it with suicidal tendancies, apparently.

The first line of security at a top secret military base is a frail old woman.

1940s taxicab doors were bulletproof. So are stage show prop shields.

Apparently a multi-million dollar human weapon will be used as a stage actor.

We're supposed to believe that a guy with a newly acquired perfect body wouldn't have had every one of those dancing girls.

[Trekker4747]

Legs are great.  (Though, I already knew that.)

The Unisphere, mono rails, flying cars and countless other things we see in the World's Fair scene were all invented or built decades before their time in the Marvel Universe.

Pre-CA Steve Roger's height and relative size compared to Halley Atwell fluctuated, the serum thankfully stabilized his size.

Vibranium's properties and abilities don't make any sense, and apparently this rare and magical metal that is likely priceless in its worth is so disregarded that it's just handed to man who'll toss it around in battle.

Tony Stark (Iron Man)'s father must've been in his 60s or 70s when Tony was born for the time line between this movie and the Iron Man movie to make any sense. (Howard Stark is Tony's father.)

Flip clocks make for nifty timers.

Prosthetic faces in Marvel's 1940s were very advanced for their time. IMF levels of advanced.

No one ever once considered that if Captain America had enough control of the plane to crash it into the Arctic he had enough control of it to land it in a remote area, hell even land it safely in the Arctic.

The movie really felt no need whatsoever to even give a tiny bit of lip service to how CA survived his time in the Arctic.

SHIELD apparently didn't feel the need to play a ball game on the radio that happened after the time CA went missing and, instead, picked one that happened before.  Seriously, WTF, SHIELD?!  You're usually so slick, but not enough to say "Hey, Captain America disappeared on Day A, so let's play a game that occurred on that day or soon afterwards to convince him he's waking up in the 1940s." Instead you go with "Let's play a game that happened BEFORE we even injected Rogers with the serum."  I'd fire the intern that helped you out on that one.

[Rainbow Dash]

I learned that Mike and the guys apparently don't know that Toby Jones was Dobby.  So many Harry Potter jokes, kept waiting for a Dobby one when Jones was on screen.

I did love the droopy jokes they gave him, though. And I think there was a Dr. Bunsen Honeydew one, and a Pinky and the Brain riff, too.

I am so glad that I either a) don't notice stuff like this, or b) don't think twice about it if I do. There's no way in hell I could enjoy a movie if I was distracted by shit like this!

[Trekker4747]

Well, I tend to notice a lot of things, especially after multiple viewings.  It in no way harms my enjoyment of movies, however.

[blahnut]

I learned who built the big rooms in the New York sewers where the ninja turtles lived.

I learned I still don't like censorship, you son of a bleep.

The only thing that really took me out of it was the pointless scene at the beginning during present day. It just ruins any suspense in the rest of the movie as we know he's going to get frozen from the plane crashing. Always a lousy idea to make the majority of your movie a flashback, unless in the rare case where you have some real dramatic reason for it.

I was quite delighted by the Truman Capote joke, though. Toby played Capote in the movie Infamous, which was released around the same time as Capote w/ Philip Seymour Hoffman (to much less fanfare).

It was made at the same time and then released (at least to middle america) after Hoffman won the oscars. I know because I wanted to see Infamous more than Capote but I had to settle
