Re: Captain America Falling
Here's the trailer, so other ppl don't have to hunt for it and find a spoilery ad along the way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k0kkSHiiPE
Interesting that they were able to get another "real" dramatic actor like Redford. Maybe he asked? |

Re: Captain America Falling
That seems not unlikely give what I've read. Saw a quote from Kevin Feige that said "Mr. Redford is not shy about the fact that his grandkids are a fan of this and he wanted to do something that his grandkids would watch him in."

That Marvel also writes French accents "like ziz" doesn't help the reputation among casual readers. With a Hollywood costuming department, Batroc could be a believable threat and not look stupid while doing it.

Re: Captain America Falling
The trailer has a moment where Cap takes out a mook by holding up his shield and punching the shield, which has the mook's face behind it. Sort of the exact opposite of the scene where he stops Thor's hammer.
So, does the vibranium property of absorbing energy only work one way? Is that a property Cap can turn on and off? |

Re: Captain America Falling
Vibranium completely destroys known physics as it is. It destroys energy. That's the only explanation of how it can "absorb" huge amounts of energy and not release them somewhere else.

Re: Captain America Falling
Amazing Skill, of course. He's Captain America (seriously, in the comic books, he uses it as a weapon where it does full damage, and also uses it to block with where apparently all the vibration is absorbed). It's probably most consistent to treat it as something really really hard (that produces highly elastic collisions) with a backface that absorbs vibration.

Re: Captain America Falling
It is shown to release the energy elsewhere - it turns energy directed into the shield into energy directed in a circle normal to the incident angle, at least as shown in Avengers when Thor strikes the shield.
