1966 Captain America Spouting Shakespeare in Marvelese









In this commercial/bumper for the 1966 Marvel Superheroes cartoon shows, we see a poorly dressed Captain America spouting Shakespearean Marvel lingo at its audience.  According to YouTuber TheHoldingCoat, "Shot off the TV with Super 8mm camera, audio recorded on a reel-to-reel by placing the microphone near the TV's speaker, this is Captain America (played by Arthur Pierce) on WNAC-TV, Ch. 7"

One commenter even goes further, noting, "According to the new book "Super Boys" by Brad Ricca, this wild rant by a poorly costumed Captain America -- a local TV preview to the Captain America cartoons -- was written by none other than Jerry Siegel, co-creator of Superman."

THAT... is wierd...

REVIEW: Why "The Avengers" is the Best Movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

The Avengers

Paramount Pictures / Walt Disney Pictures


By: Chris "Sledge" Douglas


The Avengers.

I was not expecting to like this movie as much as I did.

Sorry, not like.  LOVE.

I unabashedly LOVE this film!

There hasn't been a movie that made me feel like the way this film did.  It catered to me as an action movie fan, as a comic book fan, as a Marvel fan, as a fan of the individual characters, as a fan of the previous movies, and, most importantly, it penetrated my jaded exterior to reach a part of me that hasn't been active in years.

Yes, I love this movie, and I'd like to SOMEHOW explain why.  Here is my attempt to do so.
