# Talk:Captain America in film

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Captain America in film's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 17:09, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

@Morgan695 I'd recommend expanding out at least the Avengers appearances in the other MCU films section before the GA review begins. Then maybe keep a small section for the cameo appearances. -- Zoo (talk) 18:54, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Done. Morgan695 (talk) 19:32, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
Oh, I meant fleshing them out individually like you have for each of the Captain America movies. I was looking at Spider-Man in film and Batman in film, which are both GAs. They have fully written out sections for appearances in the Avengers and Justice League, as well as their titular movies. I'm just assuming that's something that would come up in a GAR. -- ZooBlazertalk 23:32, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
I think it would be good to do this yes.★Trekker (talk) 00:27, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
I've fleshed out those sections, but I think there's less to talk about for Captain America here compared to 'X in film' articles; Spider-Man in film necessarily involves discussing the powersharing deal with Sony, etc. And I personally feel like the Justice League sections in Batman in film exceed the article scope of "Batman in film" to be repetitious of general information about the film already covered in the respective Justice League film articles, but that's just my opinion.

Shouldn't the 2 "Ultimate Avengers" animated films be listed here as well? Captain America is a supporting character in both Cambalachero (talk) 19:42, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Added based on the manner in which animated films are listed at Batman in film. Morgan695 (talk) 22:34, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

"he originated in the 2008 film Iron Man." Originated doesn't seem like the right verb, maybe played?
Done.
Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow seems to be missing from the Animated Films list.
Added. I'm not familiar with that movie, but it seems that Captain America just appears in an unvoiced cameo. I believe that this would be a case where the work itself is assumed to be the source, but I added a CBR ref that mentions the main character being Captain America's son.

@AryKun: Hi, reply above. Morgan695 (talk) 17:14, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
Okay, will be passing the article. AryKun (talk) 07:15, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

The article doesn't look bad by any means, but the fact that the entire article is focused exclusively on the live-action films is pretty glaring. Each film having a whole subsection dedicated to its productions, release, and reception. One could argue that the 1944 serial and MCU films require such attention because of either historical significance and/or blockbuster status, alongside being theatrical release. However, the CBS duology and 1990 film don't really qualify as the former two were telefilms, while the latter saw only a direct-to-video release in America; granted, it did receive a theatrical release internationally. Shouldn't the "Animation" section at the very least follow the structure of the "MCU" one? Include Iron Man and Captain America: Heroes United as part of a "Title roles" subsection, while the rest go in either the "Ensemble and supporting roles" or "Cameo appearances" section, with the film also included in the "Personnel", "Home media release", and "Reception" sections. Pinging @Morgan695: as this article is your baby and I'd like to get your opinion on this. Again, I don't think the article's current state is bad or something that needs fixing, but this is a point I thought important of discussion and would like to get some viewpoints.

I personally don't believe that any of the animated films listed here are significant enough to merit more than the passing reference they currently receive in the article. If there was an animated Captain America film that was comparable to something like, for example, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, than it would be an obvious omission for it to not be covered in detail here. But none of these films are especially notable; of the eight listed, only one isn't just a redirect. Morgan695 (talk) 21:22, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
