Jackie Chan, with a climax fight involving him and non-suited RDJ engaging in crazy prop stunts and physical comedy.

I get what you mean, but I'd totally watch this. The mental image of Jackie Chan and RDJ just playing off each other and being silly/themselves is making me smile.

Say what you will about Joss Whedon's strengths and weaknesses, but he does good TV and this concept seems to have waaaaaaay less creepy potential than stuff like Dollhouse.

I'm officially excited for this now.

E: I'm kinda getting a Fringe + superpowers vibe off of this.

Dude was pretty cool in Spawn back in the day. In most of his roles he's basically used as a bargain Wesley Snipes anyway, with the addition that he's not insane or w/e.

The ego is there, he thinks anyone in the same space as him is blessed by merely being together, he can monologue for 30 minutes about his greatness day in and out, he's the bestest at everything and do it all or so he thinks, he can politik with the best of them, makes snide backhanded comments, it'd be great.

Yeah, personally Cap is second only to Iron Man as my favorite Marvel movies.

After seeing the trailer for winter soldier I'm loving pumped! (Also I was never into Cap comics because I thought he was too goofy) I am also glad they're going with his, IMO, least goofy looking costume for this movie. Just goddamn I'm excited for this thing.

Edit: and Evans is such great casting, it doesn't ever get pointed out that he's as good as Cap as RDJ is the embodiment of Iron Man.

I'm really hoping this is good. I was never a huge comics guy, before the movies started coming out I gave zero poo poo about Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, etc.

To be fair, it was entirely plausible that someone would seriously suggest that.

I thought it was amusing enough. I'm not a fan of Michael Cera at all, and disliked Scott Pilgrim the character so there was a bit of fun seeing an actor I hate play a character I hate.

I enjoyed the supporting cast quite a bit, and most of the jokes and scenes I liked and still remember most only involved Cera tangentially.
"He punched the highlights out of her hair!"
"Milk and eggs bitch."
Any scene involving Wallace, etc.
