While I was at GDC 2011, I was surprised by this image of the Red Skull from the upcoming Captain America: The First Avenger movie. The character looks a little ridiculous in the comics, but the movie version looks bad ass! I’m totally intimidated by the movie Red Skull. The only problem is that I know he’s being played by Hugo Weaving, so I’m going to impose Agent Smith and Elrond lines on him. It’ll be something like this:
Mr. Rogers. Why do you use that shield? Why?!? Is it nostalgia? Is it for a false sense of security? Tell me Mr. Rogers, why would an American insist on using something as archaic as a shield? Why?!?
Anyway, let me know what you think of the movie version of the Red Skull (please).
I'm just happy that they decided to go the makeup route and not the CGI route where they put a mask over and the effect later.
How about this one:
"I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time with the Germans. It came to me when I tried to study your country and I realized that you're not actually humans. Every human on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you Americans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Americans are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure."
-Agent Smith as The Red Skull
Brilliant!
I am the same way @rpad, though everytime I see him in LOTR I am constantly referring to him as Elrond Hubbard. I also do my best to add "Mr. Anderson" anytime he addresses someone.
@Red Skull – the quick flash in the trailer was nothing. This picture… holy K-rap. This picture bought my tickets to the movie if nothing else did. I love the belt buckle too. Thule Society FTW!
In LOTR I have him start all his sentences with "Mr. Aragorn!"
