Captain America: The Origin

[Scarecrow-88 · 6/10 · 3 December 2016]

Sadly there have been few animated series on the beloved Captain America superhero, but this one survives so its value is considerable even if comic book action brought to screen was in its infancy and hadn't quite been mastered to show full body movement besides the mouth, eyes, and various momentary acts. The camera moves about a canvas as if viewing stills that talk and blink. That said, the Marvel animation is iconic, especially when returning to the Rogers' story, his birth as the cap'n with the scientist who helped to create him dying before the formula could be used to build an army like him, and the mission of the Red Skull to take out certain military personnel on a kill list. Also included in the first episode is Bucky, Captain's Robin-like sidekick, helping to take out enemy agents like Sando, a supposed clairvoyant, and his accomplice who do stage acts. Captain America and Bucky will have their work cut out for them as the Red Skull is an evasive villain.
