Emails #32: Declaration of War

RICK: One observation and then let's get started.

I saw the 1991 Captain America on the Hulu. My brother sent me a link. It was bad and felt dated and not very theatrical for a theatrical release. I did like the Red Skull, his attitude and mannerisms. The Red Skull's daughter was also great. Hot. European looking. The origin was explored as well as the ice suspended animation. Costume was good except for the mask. Shield was pretty good. I think there was a Wonder Woman TV show influence. Story is a shambles. If you haven't already, I would take a look. Hulu. Captain America. 1991.

Let's get started.

I will not be writing this in a particular format. Save that for rewrites. I just want to get it down "on paper" so we can talk about it.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: NO LIMITS
CAPTAIN AMERICA: DECLARATION OF WAR
CAPTAIN AMERICA: LET FREEDOM RING
CAPTAIN AMERICA: IT'S COLD IN HERE. GET ME OUT OF THIS ICE...
CAPTAIN AMERICA: WARRIOR FOR LIBERTY
CAPTAIN AMERICA: BIRTH OF A HERO
CAPTAIN AMERICA: STANDARD FOR FREEDOM
CAPTAIN AMERICA: LIVE FREE
CAPTAIN AMERICA: NO TALKING AND NO CELL PHONES IN THIS THEATRE
CAPTAIN AMERICA: BLOOD SWEAT TEARS
CAPTAIN AMERICA: MORE PERFECT NATION
CAPTAIN AMERICA: RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS
CAPTAIN AMERICA: NEED A CATCHY TITLE
CAPTAIN AMERICA: RED GLORY
CAPTAIN AMERICA: SUPER SOLDIER
CAPTAIN AMERICA: SUPER PATRIOT
CAPTAIN AMERICA: BLOOD RED
CAPTAIN AMERICA: PAID IN BLOOD
CAPTAIN AMERICA: TRIUMPHANT
CAPTAIN AMERICA: MINUTEMAN
CAPTAIN AMERICA: BLOOD WAS SPILLED
CAPTAIN AMERICA: BLOOD SOLDIER

Okay, ALL of the titles suck. what about...

CAPTAIN AMERICA: BATTLES THE RED SKULL
CAPTAIN AMERICA: BATTLES OF BLOOD
CAPTAIN AMERICA: BATTLES OF LIBERTY

looking at my sad list, I pick...

CAPTAIN AMERICA: DECLARATION OF WAR

.....as the working title. And there you have it.

Only strength can cooperate. Weakness can only beg.
-Dwight D. Eisenhower

War involves in its progress such a train of unforeseen circumstances that no human wisdom can calculate the end; it has but one thing certain, and that is to increase taxes.
-Thomas Paine
