Why don’t we talk about how differently they run
They’ve actually talked about that(not specifically about T'Challa and Steve), that Chris Evans has to do most if not all his own running scenes because they say his running form is really hard to replicate for a stunt double but it’s one of the things that sets Cap apart, Chris Evans particular type of physicality, and actually helps convey the “superness” I suppose of the super soldier thing.
Chris Evans had to do his own stunts because he runs like a weird idiot robot
The Cap we deserve
If I remember my biomechanics correctly, he has basically perfect running form. If you track his head movement there is ZERO up and down motion, meaning his entire energy is going to forward motion, making it 100% efficient.
Like, this is “good” vs “bad” technique:
There is still some waviness to that green line.
Chris Evans just has like….none.
Actually Chris Evans runs that way because he did ballet as a child. Most of the jumping kicks he does as Cap are based off of ballet form, as well as the way he runs and his massive upper body strength.
Ballet is a martial art they just don’t want you to know it.
He also runs with no forward lean which does not affect speed, but it’s rare
