I saw the entire min-marathon...lol.
It was pretty cheesy...like you said...I hated the see-through shield and motorcycle helmet as well...even when I first saw it as a teen...lol.
...and why not have the more authentic-looking costume (shown at the very end)...just showcased from the very beginning? Why the tacky suspense?...
And why did Steve Rogers need the Flag Serum for? He was already buffed like hell...
Notice they said Super Steroid in the beginning...but changed it to Flag Serum later...
One positive thing...and although Reb Brown couldn't act his way outta paper bag...he did look like Steve Rogers...more so than 1990's Matt Salinger with his silly fake plastic ears...lol.
P.S. Oh yeah...I also hated the Six Million Dollar Man special-effects sounds...lol.
They didn't really know how to dress Cap' until the very, very end when he got his classic costume (but still needed work on the head section). The second film they masked him and refined the wings on the helmet so that he had more of a "hero" look to him. But the story took forever to set up before Cap ever made an appearance, so that one was less engaging. It's easy to see why he didn't make series. The producers didn't seem to know what to do with Captain America as much as they did with Steve Rogers. And I think kids lost interest because of that. I don't even remember the second one that clearly. The shield was awful looking. But they were fun nonetheless, if only in a nostalgic way.
It's not how hard you hit, but how hard you can be hit and still move forward.
