It’s ironic. Chris Evans and Marvel Studios or, I should say, the directors doing the honors for Marvel (Joe Johnston, Josh Whedon, and, this time out, Anthony Russo and Joe Russo), seem to have learned the lesson of Christopher Reeve much better than their counterparts over at DC, which is the answer to the question how do you sell a character as square and corny as Superman/Captain America? By playing him absolutely straight and taking him at his word.
Note to Man of Steel’s Henry Cavill: A sense of humor helps.
“Before we get started. Does anyone want to get out?”
Very, very, very nice that they found something to do for the man who would've (certainly should've, if they'd tried then) played the part when I was a boy. Yes, that is the lesson, and yes your suggestion helps.
