A brilliant short of Captain America: The First Avenger done in the style of a 1930's serial. I was captivated throughout, and I loved the twist in the last third and the cliffhanger.

Highly recommended!

Rogue gives us an outstandingly clever alternate version of this movie.

The character of Captain America was born out of the same era that gave us old-fashioned serials, and the movie itself captures the same feel. Rogue was able to use this style to his advantage, rendering the footage in black-and-white and replacing the modern score with something appropriate to the 1940s. The opening credits are particularly memorable; if not for the names (and faces) of recent stars like Tommy Lee Jones, there would be no way to know this wasn't authentic to the era.

Rather than trying to sum up all of the movie in 15 minutes, Rogue wisely (again) uses the serial format to his advantage, summing up everything to the point of the climax with title cards.

Fittingly, all traces of the romance between Steve and Agent Carter are gone. While romance subplots are common for modern movies, serials would gloss over these ideas, so Rogue does likewise.

I got a little tiny bit bored about 2/3 of the way through when I thought the story was going to end exactly like the original. But Rogue saved his most ingenious twist for the end, fully (and seamlessly) paying homage to the serials from which the Cap movie was based.

Rogue is a master of short edits; I've long been a fan of his Apollo 13 and Attack of the Clones Super 8 edits. He can now add this one to his increasingly impressive resume!

Thank you, Rogue-TheX for this in most parts fantastic piece of fanediting art, in which you managed to create something truly different to the original and an entriely different atmosphere. Great audio work, especially for a short fanedit, where many faneditors avoid the effort.
This one was very entertaining. The ending felt overly contructed and forced, but until then it was pure fanedit magic.
You caught my complete attention with this one and made my time worthwhile. What more could an audience hope for. :)

Rogue is one of my favorite editors and once again he doesn't disappoint.

Rogue's become the indisputed champion of retro-styling modern movies and he's clearly at the top of his craft here. From his choice of filters to his perfectly placed editing "glitches" taken from the era he's emulating, to his amazing folley work and brilliant use of music; this is an incredible achievement and to me the standout of the Time Travel Consecution. But more than anything, it's pure fun.

I took a point off "Enjoyment" because I'm jealous of Rogue's talent and it pissed me off as I was watching ithe short. But other than that, keep wowing us with your amazing creations.

Once again a great retro style short edit by Rogue-Thex. Perhaps one of his best.
Everything is perfectly done to create the mood of old serials.
Very fun finish.
I just removed 2 points in "narrative" because the way Captain America "travels" through time is not "really" a time travel to me. But it's just nitpicking compared to the quality of everything else.
