Captain America To Wield Shield, Microphone In New Movie

Director Joe Johnston told the LA Times' Hero Complex blog that the musical Cap came about through problem solving:



As Johnston says, that explanation "was never in the comics... because they didn't really need it. In comics, he puts on the costume and the reader just justifies because of the nature of the medium," which may miss the point that, in the comics, he wore the costume for propaganda and morale purposes after becoming a super soldier, which seems an easier solution to us. Nonetheless, we're already fearing the musical Cap bodes ill for all but those who loved Jazz Spidey from Spider-Man 3. That low rumbling you're hearing is the start of fan revolt.

Sorry James Brown...


Singing hero, coast to coast,

just so godamned wrong

With the auditory overload,

just jam those ear plugs deep

How does it feel?

When there's some vocalization - that's too much

And somewhere on the way,

you might want to jab your ears

I'm Captain America - red white and blue, a big patriot too

I'm Captain America - singing on screen, causing consternation

I'm Captain America - WANT to sing On American Idol!
