Noble, motivational speechifying is one of the traits that has endeared Captain America to so many.
Me, not so much.
Look, I’m all for antiquated sincerity in these jaded modern times as much as the next patriot, but it’s moments like these that have always been an example of what makes Chris Evans feel so stiff and stilted to me.
But I’m in the minority, I get it. This defines Cap and people love him for it.
Anyway, here it is in Marvel’s latest TV Spot for Avengers: Endgame, which opens on April 26, 2019.
Sigh. Jeff, Jeff, Jeff…Look, we’re about the same age. We grew up with THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4OUQ6-9HR0
That, THAT, Jeff. Cheesy? YES! But I’ll happily take all the speechifying Cap wants to give us over that.
To be clear, I don’t think Evans is cheesy here, or as Cap in general. Just the opposite. I find him dull. Doesn’t stir one sentiment of inspiration in me. I could stand for a little cheese, actually. Speeches by blockbuster heroes are fine and welcomed, I just want someone who can deliver them.
