Doug (vo): Well, if there was any Marvel movie character I was more afraid not to take seriously than Thor, it would definitely be Captain America.

Doug (vo): Not only was his design so silly, with the bright blue, that giant bullseye and the little wings on the side of his head, (some screenshots from "Captain America" (1990) are shown) but there was already a movie made in the 80s that looked like it was made in the 70s, that, big shock, was not very good. In fact, there's even (title card of) a Nostalgia Critic review of it. So, once again, I was a little hesitant to see what they were gonna do with this.

(We are treated to trailer clips and screenshots from the movie)

Doug (vo): But, luckily, once again, they've turned out a pretty good product.

Story
Doug (vo): Captain America starts off as a wimpy little soldier, conveyed to some pretty impressive computer-generated effects. Not to say it's flawless, but you kinda look really hard to notice. His goodwill and courage convinces everybody that he'll be perfect for a new experiment. One that could lead to a leauge of superhumans that could stop Hitler and his Nazi thugs. He agrees to the experiment and gets turned into a beefcake. But the scientist is killed, thus he's the only supersoldier there is. One of the problems, though, is that nobody knows what to do with him. He's seen as a hero to many is so, rather than actually put him in combat, they just kinda put him on advertisements. Big shows, dance numbers, all sorts of good stuff promoting the good of the war. But he's not really doing that many heroics. Finally, they agree to send him into combat, and he does a great job. That is, until he comes across the evil Red Skull, played by Hugo Weaving. Direction, adventures, stunts and all sorts of great effects. Captain America fights off Nazis and saves the day more times than you can count.
