: Captain America is a Super Soldier, just like Chief. He is far more grounded
: than someone like Superman. He relies on his reflexes and resourcefulness
: rather than on flying through the air shooting enemies without breaking a
: sweat.

: Look at this scene, for example. He's superior in every way to those around
: him, but he's not untouchable. Beneath all of his augmentations and
: strength, he's a human.

:

: It's gritty, immersive, awe-inspiring, and while unrealistic, it's still not
: so over-the-top that the audience buys into what's happening. Every punch
: is felt, every moment is tense, because you don't quite know what to
: expect.

: This trailer reminds me more of the fight scenes in Man of Steel, where the
: people fighting just seem so inhuman, that you see it as more spectacle,
: with less impact, and ultimately the scene has little weight. Each bullet
: is as pointless as the last, each enemy a hapless mook being torn through
: with no trouble:

: Great fighters such as Odysseus and Leonidas are legends to their people and
: to those who hear their stories, because they were the best of the best,
: and could fail, but still overcame their adversaries in one way or
: another. Godlike figures amongst men, but still men.

: As opposed to "Zeus zapped a whole army out of existence? Okay.

I really like this comparison a lot actually (honestly, despite what I'm about to say), add the Mjolnir armor to the Cap and you just about have a Spartan II...granted, the spartans were trained since age 7 to be killers and use guns unlike Cpt America, and they're fighting rank and file remnants of an admittedly large military force that has now been disbanded into hyper-religious zealots, not the special ops guys the Cap is fighting here.

I guess, while I still personally didn't care for this part of the Halo 5 opening cinematic, I don't see it being beyond belief and feel it personifies the 'flashy little kids/new guys' persona the Spartan IV's have been displaying since their introdution. Now if they do this same thing to Blue Team, I'll be really disappointed.
