“Captain America: New World Order” is just a couple weeks away, bringing the star-spangled man back to the big screen in his own solo venture in nearly a decade. Of course, it will be Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson wearing the suit and throwing the shield this time, rather than Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers. Regardless, any Marvel Cinematic Universe sub-series getting a fourth installment is a big deal … although there have been more feature-length “Captain America” movies than just the ones produced by Marvel Studios.
Yup, today we’re talking about 1990’s “Captain America,” the $3-million feature directed by late B-movie legend Albert Pyun. Although the film was conceived as a theatrical release, those plans changed when the production hit financial problems, leading to a direct-to-video rollout. A planned $40-million budget was canceled late in planning, dooming the project from the start. These days, the film is seen as little more than a hilarious curiosity, as well as an example of what horrible comic book films looked like before the 21st century.
That said, a bit of renewed interest in the film has surfaced recently with the reveal of an alternate cut — one made public by filmmaker and film historian Justin Decloux. This cut, closer to Pyun’s original vision, is wildly different, but does it make “Captain America” any less of a mess? Let’s get into it.
What happens in the 1990 Captain America movie?
Marvel/Sony Pictures Home Entertainment
The official, video-release cut of “Captain America” is, in some ways, quite similar to the plot of the first couple MCU films. In other ways, of course, it’s wildly different and entirely baffling. The story begins during World War II with Steve Rogers (Matt Salinger) receiving his Super Soldier Serum — the same formula, as we learn, that was responsible for turning an innocent Italian child into the villainous Red Skull (Scott Paulin) via a series of fascist experiments. In the first act, Captain America journeys into enemy territory, battles Nazis, faces the Red Skull, and is defeated, ultimately being strapped to a rocket that’s fired at the White House. Through sheer strength, Steve manages to divert the rocket’s course, landing it in the Alaskan tundra where he’s frozen alive.
That’s all just in the first 30 minutes.
The rest of the movie takes place decades later after Steve thaws. The Red Skull remains at large, now leading a criminal organization responsible for, among other things, the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King. (Yes, really.) The current President of the United States (Ronny Cox), who witnessed Cap’s heroic rocket diversion as a boy, is now in their sights, so Steve must fight his old foe again to save the President’s life. Along the way, there are some familiar plot points, including Steve meeting up with a wartime girlfriend who’s now married and grown old, him becoming romantically involved with her daughter (it’s a niece in the MCU, but still), and him constantly stealing other people’s cars by faking motion sickness, luring them outside, and then jumping in the driver’s seat and taking of.
Okay, yeah, that last one is pretty much only in this movie.
Captain America reflects where most superhero movies were in the ’90s
Marvel/Sony Pictures Home Entertainment
While the plot of “Captain America” is pretty straightforward (if a bit of a mess), the execution is where it really stumbles. Costumes are home-made Halloween-level bad, the action scenes hilariously choreographed and nauseatingly edited, and the script is just ridiculous. I mean, Steve Rogers literally steals two different cars from two different, good-guy characters by pulling the same “I’m going to be sick” bit.
Many of these issues clearly came from the budget being reduced dramatically at the last second, but even so, they aren’t too divergent from what most comic book movies looked like at the time. Tim Burton’s “Batman” had just come out the year before, bringing some big-budget, high-profile attention to the genre, and the Christopher Reeve “Superman” films obviously retained major cultural cache by the early ’90s, but Marvel hadn’t been able to find anywhere near the same level of success as DC.
Alongside “Batman,” 1989 saw the release of a live-action, direct-to-video “Punisher” movie starring Dolph Lundgren. While that adaptation is also generally looked down on, it’s nevertheless become kind of a cult classic due in part admittedly to Lundgren’s outsized (pun intended) star status. It wasn’t until “Blade” in 1998 and “X-Men” in 2000 that Marvel really started to make itself a big-screen presence.
An alternate cut of 1990’s Captain America has been making the rounds
Marvel/Sony Pictures Home Entertainment
Albert Pyun’s “Captain America” has long been a curiosity for comic book fans and B-movie lovers, but it’s gained a renewed level of interest recently with the emergence of the director’s original cut. Revealed by filmmaker and film historian Justin Decloux through a Letterboxd review of the movie in December 2024, this alternate cut is much more experimental and less linear.
Among other things, this version intercuts the World War II scenes throughout the “present day” portion of the film, paralleling different moments like the different fights between the Red Skull and Captain America. Steve Rogers’ nemesis also gets a more tragic portrayal, and the overall emotional arc is more thematically coherent, according to Decloux, who wrote a book on Pyun’s work and is friends with the late director’s wife. “I’m not saying this version is going to change everyone’s mind about the movie because, if anything, it double down on a lot of stuff people disliked,” Decloux wrote on Letterboxd. “But goddamit [sic], in his original cut you can see a genuine authorial intent guiding an impossible production, to the point that out of all of Albert’s films, it may be the most emotionally coherent!”
Time will tell if we’ll ever see a proper release of Pyun’s original cut. If nothing else, it seems like a fun bit of superhero cinema history that would be great to have available. Captain America’s film history goes back way further than both the MCU and the 1990 film, with an even earlier pair of TV movies starring Reb Brown having aired in 1979. With a full release of this alternate cut of the 1990 movie, another version of Captain America’s onscreen history would be returned to the masses.
Cold War has split the world in two, both figuratively and literally. The Great Divide spans across the globe with an impenetrable mess of concrete and barbed wire sandwiched between the two blocs. You are Leonard Nimby; a stone-faced former top agent of IM5, hot on the trail of a shrink gun stolen from you by a villainous mayoral candidate on the eve of a fateful election.
Splittown is a point-and-click adventure game inspired by 90s classics such as Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max Hit The Road. You’ll crack confounding puzzles, stuff improbable amounts of items in your pockets, and engage in humorous dialogue with a colorful cast of characters on an adventure that will push your wits to the limit.

Midnight Society, the studio behind the game Deadrop, has confirmed its closure after facing financial difficulties and internal turmoil.
The announcement came just days after employees were given a two-day notice that the company was shutting down. This closure follows the high-profile departure of co-founder Dr. Disrespect (Guy Beahm) in mid-2024 after allegations of inappropriate conduct.
Although the studio had initially expressed confidence about continuing development and releasing Deadrop in 2025, the lack of funding and staff cuts ultimately led to its closure.
Source: Midnight Society
Why is Midnight Society closing down?
Midnight Society’s closure is largely attributed to a lack of funding. The studio, which employed over 50 developers at its peak, struggled to secure sufficient resources to continue operations. In a post shared on X, Level Designer Brad Boice revealed that the team was given just two days’ notice before the shutdown.
Earlier statements from co-founder Quinn Delhoyo had suggested that Deadrop was on track for a 2025 release, but staff reductions in September 2024 and the inability to secure more funding signaled deeper financial instability. Despite these challenges, the studio continued to work on the game until this recent closure announcement.
The studio’s troubles were further compounded by the departure of Dr. Disrespect, who had been a key figure in promoting Deadrop. Beahm was dismissed from Midnight Society in June 2024 after allegations surfaced that he had inappropriate conversations with a minor. Although Beahm admitted to some of the claims, he later denied other allegations and revised his statements, which fueled controversy around his exit.
The studio initially claimed that his departure was amicable, but it quickly became clear that his removal had disrupted both the studio’s internal dynamics and its public image.

What’s next to Deadrop?
Many believed that the game’s future was uncertain without Beahm’s involvement, and the subsequent closure of the studio has only reinforced these doubts.
In the wake of the closure, Dr. Disrespect expressed frustration during a livestream, claiming that the situation had been poorly handled by the studio’s leadership and that the allegations against him were mishandled.
The end of Midnight Society has left Deadrop’s future unclear, with no indications yet as to whether the game will continue under new leadership or if it will be abandoned altogether.

In Brief
IoTeX unveiled its 2025 roadmap, aiming to establish a platform that bridges AI with real-world data, expand in the US, and launch a DePIN + AI Assets Reserve.
Provider of modular infrastructure for decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) projects, IoTeX unveiled its roadmap for 2025, aiming to establish a platform that enables AI to interact with the physical world.
The roadmap includes plans for the development of Physical AI and sentient AI agents. IoTeX intends to create an open yet flexible framework that supports the training and coordination of AI systems, utilizing verifiable, real-world data from DePIN devices.
In 2025, IoTeX plans to further develop its modular DePIN infrastructure and introduce new systems that will facilitate innovation across the “Train,” “Model,” and “Automate” stages of the DePIN value chain. This will catalyze a new era of AI-driven applications that integrate real-world data with advanced AI technologies.
IoTeX has already begun its 2025 initiatives with the beta launch of QuickSilver, an open-source framework that connects the power of large language models (LLMs) with DePIN to enable the creation of sophisticated AI applications like BinoAI. QuickSilver leverages DePIN devices as the “eyes and ears” of AI, allowing real-time data collection, contextual response, and physical-world interaction.
With the planned QuickSilver Testnet launch in Q1 2025, DePIN and AI developers will be able to bridge existing DePIN infrastructures with emerging AI technologies, giving rise to a new generation of sentient AI applications. Projects using QuickSilver will also seamlessly deploy tokens across Solana, Ethereum, and IoTeX L1, with native integration into depinscan.io.
IoTeX To Expand US Presence, Establish DePIN And AI Strategic Reserve, And Strengthen Community Development
IoTeX also plans to expand its presence in the United States, forming partnerships with institutions and platforms such as Grayscale, Coinbase, Kraken, Robinhood, World Liberty Financial, and payment giants like PayPal and Venmo. These collaborations are aimed at increasing IOTX’s accessibility to a broader US audience via major exchanges and popular trading applications. Additionally, IoTeX is prioritizing partnerships with US-based DePIN projects, AI companies, and key players in infrastructure, telecommunications, automotive, and energy sectors. Strategic alliances with projects like Ripple, Hedera, Helium, Render, GeoDnet, and DIMO are expected to foster innovation, while its expansion into Solana, Ethereum, and Base will enable cross-chain DePIN networks. Furthermore, IoTeX is working to engage with the evolving regulatory landscape, having recently joined the Blockchain Association.
In addition to these efforts, IoTeX plans to create its own strategic reserve, initially funded by Bitcoin (BTC), to strengthen and support the decentralized ecosystem. This reserve will act as a vault for valuable long-term tokens and assets, offering protection for IOTX holders.
IoTeX is also working to enhance community engagement across its Reddit, Discord, Telegram, and X channels. By embracing DAO-based governance, the platform allows users to actively participate in shaping its future. This involvement includes proposing ideas, voting on critical decisions, and contributing to the development of IoTeX. Additionally, the platform plans to introduce new educational programs and certification opportunities to further empower its community.
IoTeX is a platform that merges blockchain technology with the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart devices. Its main focus is to provide fast, secure blockchain solutions that connect real-world data to decentralized applications (dApps). It is also dedicated to developing blockchain-powered devices, such as home security cameras and cellular-IoT prototyping platforms, to drive innovation and practical use of IoT technology.

Did you watch the recent haute couture shows? Did it make you think, wow, how did they make that? This couture season especially reminded me of just how much engineering goes into garment design and construction. Want proof? Check out Daniel Roseberry’s collection for Schiaparelli, it was a brilliant combination of both engineering & architecture as he created wearable fashion sculpture.
I couldn’t help but think that Elsa was looking down on Roseberry’s show from fashion heaven and smiling. After all, in her day, Elsa Schiaparelli was a risk taker (watch this YouTube on her life). Think surrealist sleeves, lobster dress, exposed zippers in couture, the shoe hat, and her Shocking perfume bottle inspired by Mae West’s figure.

If you’ve been designing for a while, as I have, and are a lover of the garment construction process, then you were probably in awe of Daniel Roseberry’s latest couture collection and his use of support materials to create stiff flares and invisible padding that shaped the hips of his dresses.
There are many different of types of materials from which to choose to create these looks. In our lesson entitled, Interfacings, Underlinings, Interlinings & Linings, we teach the difference between an interlining and an underlining, when and where to use them and the various types available.
Wire & Boning

I just loved Roseberry’s combination of structure and softness in his dresses. He made great use of wire and boning to create half dome-like dresses with tulle skirts. The airiness of a tulle skirt paired with the structure of a bustier resulted in a very dramatic Red Carpet effect.
To learn more about bustier design & construction, view our lessons, Bustier Bodice, and Foundation Bustier Construction Techniques. In addition to learning how to drape a bustier, you will also learn about the various tools & supplies used to construct a bustier, such as how to stabilize the edges and how to bone, press and line a bustier.
Fabric Sculpture

If you are a technical skills nerd like me, then your jaw dropped when you saw Roseberry turn fabric into sculpture. For example, look at the far left image above, he combined a sculpted jacket foundation with a carefully engineered bias-fluted yoke with pleats. Looking to learn how to create those bias-fluted pleats? Watch our lesson, Creative Draping: The Art of Fluting, to learn how to mold bias into just about any shape.
Our Creative Draping: The Art of Ruching lesson teaches how to create the look of the dress second from left above. And for the asymmetric ruffle dress to its right, watch our lesson, Draping a Cascade Ruffle Dress, which teaches how to draft circular fabric pieces and then how to drape them to cascade onto a dress foundation. And, to learn techniques on how to draft & drape ruffles, as pictured in the dress on the far right, view our lesson, Draping & Drafting a Multi-Tiered Dress.
Congratulations to Daniel Roseberry for a masterful haute couture collection for Schiaparelli!
Bold and the Beautiful predictions suggest Finn discovers Luna Nozawa‘s blood holds his DNA, at the same time next week, Bill Spencer faces problems hiding his murderous houseguest, on the CBS soap.
Bill Spencer is not a guy to panic, but he will likely come close if he thinks his family is about to find out about his roommate. This week, Finn tried to convince himself that Poppy Nozawa is right, He is not her daughter’s father.
But it seems he doesn’t trust her, and the previews have him shaken up when Monday rolls around. This suggests to fans that he did the test and found he was a match.
If so, the younger Dr. Finnegan will probably want to talk to his new-found daughter. But only if he can find her. That would mean the search is on, in B&B predictions.
Bold and the Beautiful Predictions: Luna Nozawa’s Blood, A Hot Commodity
Bold and the Beautiful has Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) wanting to keep Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) a secret. But keeping her undercover seems almost impossible next week.
From the get-go, viewers couldn’t see a way for Bill to keep her under wraps. But this is B&B, so where there is a Bill Spencer, you would think there is a way. But when Luna’s blood sample makes another appearance next week, things change. This time, fans expect to see Finn read the results of his DNA test.
B&B | CBS
So far on Bold and the Beautiful, Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) failed to find a paternity match for Luna and Jack Finnegan (Ted King). But the Bold and the Beautiful previews suggest Finn discovers he is a paternity match to his cousin, which leaves him shaken to the core next week.
B&B Predictions: Secret of Luna’s Father Infuriates Finn
The Bold and the Beautiful preview made it look like Finn discovers he is Luna’s father next week. The appearance of fear and panic on his face during this clip, adds even more evidence to the fans’ assumption.
Finn likely isn’t thrilled about spawning a murdering daughter. Still, he seemed more concerned last week when talking to Poppy about not being there for her as a father all these years. Then, Poppy Nozawa (Romy Park) adamantly denies that Finn is Luna’s father. But Finn doesn’t believe her.
Despite only doing the deed once with his aunt, who is not blood-related, it looks like that encounter resulted in the birth of Luna Nozawa. So, if Finn gets confirmation that he is Luna’s father, he likely wants to find her.
Bold and the Beautiful Predictions: Bill Spencer Has Nowhere to Hide Houseguest
Bold and the Beautiful has Poppy trying to visit her daughter at the jail. But she learned she wasn’t there. So, if what the preview suggests rings true, Finn, as her father, will also likely want to see her.
Bold and the Beautiful had Poppy frantic when she learned from the warden that Luna is gone. So, she may hit up Jack Finnegan for help. As a prominent lawyer in LA., he would have some clout to get the details.
If the hunt for Luna Nozawa starts to close in on Bill, he might have no choice but to send his visitor back. Bill’s life as he knows it would be in ruins if anyone knew who he harbored under his roof.
But it might end up too late. It looks like Bold and the Beautiful has Bill Spencer’s secret guest about to be discovered, possibly before he gets the chance to send Luna back behind bars.
So, the number of lives ruined over Luna Nozawa seems to rack up as the CBS soap rolls along next week.
Head back to Soap Dirt for the latest Bold and the Beautiful spoilers.
