Er, in real-world, non-galactic soap-opera examples, the Third Reich came to power only 16 years after the German/Prussian Military machine was destroyed by WWI and went on to commit all the highly technological atrocities they did. During the ‘20s, the Germans were so broke due to reparations and the currency so…

I could have taken the statement he made over the summer seriously, but only if the following things weren’t true:

I’d have to agree with you... He sounds rather jaded by the Marvel experience. Particular when he mentioned his intention to realise Age of Ultron as a ‘closed loop’ - which has become interpreted as a kind of set-up for later movies.

I don’t think they actually got a green light from CBS, verbal or otherwise, and CBS continued to distance itself from the production in press releases. It’s in the best interests of the Axanar producers to make it sound like they were having productive talks with CBS, but that’s not necessarily what happened.

Right. He sounds like he wanted it both ways. He was the guy/showrunner who was supposed to be edgy because he killed off characters and didn’t look back. His explanation sounds rather weak.

I like Anthony Stewart Head’s take.

//clarifying that he meant that for the audience who don’t watch AoS he was still dead - but in-universe he isn’t, its just that not everybody knows that.//

Schrodinger’s Coulson

And the fact that they cast a trans woman makes me feel like someone up top went “Eh, they’re the same thing.”

While it did SOUND like that was what he was saying back in the summer, it also led me to a moment of "hey Joss, you un-killed Coulson for TV, remember? So he's damn sure not dead"

Or they could have just said that the higher-ups decided that J and L were not a good team — they were too much alike, amplified their worst aspects, or maybe they broke office rules regarding dating. Cast another lead, shit, cast another female lead, no reason why not.

I actually liked MIIB. Flawed? Yes, but still funny.

From what I understand, the stuff Whedon wanted didn’t sound too great, and wouldn’t have helped improve the movie (which I greatly enjoy) very much.

I hate they destroyed K’s happy ending. To show you how much a good actor can put in the smallest moments one only need look at his response to when Will Smith tells him it’s better to have loved and lost and Jones just shuts him down with, “Try it.” It gives you decades of heartache and loneliness in two words. And…

I wish he was written out halfway through the original Transformers.

In my head, she’s off having adventures with the Wreckers while wearing a mech suit, having dumped her obnoxious Gary Stu of a boyfriend.

Yeah I mentioned this above as well - I find this one hysterical as every line about her character just sounds like Bay venting about Megan Fox herself.

I don’t know that Henry Jones Sr is random. He was already old and the sequel is set twenty years or so after Last Crusade.
