I finally got to my Blu-Ray of Cap. Anyone else a little UNDERwhelmed by the special features? They did have some good stuff like talking to Joe Simon, his grand children, the LA opening, deleted scenes and featurettes, and two movie trailers but it all went too quickly. There is so much more they could have given us. Many more movie trailers and TV spots. Longer featurettes. More of the press junkets (did any of Haley Atwell's interviews get used at all?).

I got my DVD today. It's got no deleted scenes, and the only special features are the costume segment as also the 'assembly' bit, as also trailers for the Sega game and the Avengers animated show. I haven't yet watched the whole movie or even the extras, but I find that this particular DVD is very underweight in special features. Fair, the Wolverine bonus disc was not particularly interesting once it played, but it came cheapest of the bunch, and the Iron Man/Thor DVDs had more stuff in them. The Cap DVD is also one of the most expensive of this bunch. Everyone agrees it's a good movie, but this packaging/DVD isn't really value for the price tag.

The 70's movies were not quite Cap, but still fun. It's more like a story of a steroid-enhanced motorcycle stuntman wearing something like the Cap uniform, but an interesting spin anyway. The 90's movie was a bit disappointing (some say a waste), but at least it resembled (rather loosely, though) the Cap stories from the comics, and the costume was the closest to the comic illustration. I don't think I'll ever get used to the Grant Gardner version, though.

If you waited for another month or two, the Cap TFA Dvd and Blu-ray would've dropped in price.  I still have to find the 90s Cap ultimate version blu-ray.

Too bad the Cap TFA didn't have a lot of extras. My guess is that Marvel studios were very strict on how the money is spent and only shot scenes necessary for the movie, so we're not going to see something similar to the 'Spider man meet the Xmen' bonus in the 2000 Xmen dvd.

Say, in the Wolverine blu-ray, is there a scene where Logan spot a very young Storm in one of his missions to Africa????
Miss opportunity for Xmen first class: there should've been a scene where a young Storm pick-pocketed Proffessor X.

I'd have to wait a year or two. A little too long. Maybe Viacom/Paramount price their DVDs higher than Fox, amongst the Marvel partners. After all, a nearly-two-year-old Wolverine movie was sold cheapest at the retailer's, with that bonus DVD, and you have four DVDs of the X-Men selling at the price of three. No such offers from Viacom/Paramount. Each Iron Man DVD sells separately at the same higher price, so no Iron Man twins, Thor and Hulk package together.

The Avengers segment was very short, and didn't have much to show from the ongoing production. The costume documentary was very informative and showed the making of the costume, which was huge, but I feel they could have given us more on the history of Captain America, as also a motion comic (or a repackaged Tales of Suspense animated episode), so much they could have covered without making it too enticing, less so expensive.

I didn't like the look of that young Storm deleted scene (I mentioned it in my comments on that Wolverine DVD thread), but that idea of a deleted scene arc would sell more DVDs. The Spidey-meets-X scene is actually a joke, less so a serious easter egg, but still a good addition.

Maybe a disavowed or no-longer-profitable Cap adaptation would make a good addition to the DVD, or a similar joke scene.
