Paolo Rivera does Captain America

[coffeeandink]

So my first reaction was, Wow, this is a great encapsulation of Captain America as aspirational icon, from the concept to the Obama-appropriated Soviet realism style. (Or a great encapsulation of Captain America as propaganda, if you prefer.)

My second reaction was, Wow, Paolo Rivera really does not believe in sexless superheroes.

Wow, that movie-style poster is really beautiful. And the propaganda one is good too. :)

As with Rivera's Dali Wolverine, I really like these both because the execution is beautiful and because they are clever commentary on the concepts behind the characters: the propaganda and the idealism behind Captain America, the memory reconstruction behind Wolverine.

Wow, the other Wolverine variants are very cute and all, but this is a really nice deconstruction of the character. Thanks for the link. :)

Ahahaha, oh, dear. MCU Steve would be mortified.

Princess Captain America is the movie I want to see! She could team up with Hushpuppy from Beasts of the Southern Wild and save the world.

Wow, that serum supersized everything....

I'm concerned he doesn't have some kind of athletic supporter/cup situation.
