It's perfect. Who would ever suspect Adam Ant or Kool & the Gang of trying to steal state secrets, or blackmailing an ambassador?

But it's not like other objectivists haven't done a good job with superhero characters . Look at Squirrel Girl!

But there's already been six Superman movies, eight Batman movies and a dozen tv series. Audiences might just be tired of those two.

Didn't Numan retire from music to become a spy?

To be fair though, Oliver's not that interesting.

You'd get the nun references. But if you went to Catholic school in the seventies, you'd also know nuns weren't wearing black and white anymore, and the joke would fall flat. (I got caught telling nun jokes in grammar school and was sent to repeat them to the principal and her assistants…all nuns.)

My fourth grade teacher read it aloud to us in class. (I realize now that she probably wasn't that much older than we were.)

Meh. Nothing against Jamie Alexander, but there's no tension between her and Thor. They come from the same culture. They're both warriors. They've known each other all their lives. She's the "nice girl", waiting for Thor to notice her. Their love scenes would be dullsville. I'd rather see Thor hook up with Volstagg.

They have a much better case for rights to Wanda if it ever came down to arbitration.
I know Scarlett Witch debuted in the X-men comic. But she didn't feature again until she wished all mutants into non-existence forty years later. (Quicksilver on the other hand has continually appeared in both Avengers and X-books…

Hey. If Jennifer Connelly is going to be hanging around the set anyway with her kids, they might as well use her.

The Hulk himself has made an impact on the MCU.

I doubt she was ever meant to be in the movie (it is a Cap film after all). They only came up with the breakup storyline to color in Tony 's fragile state of mind and motivation.

What..I assumed Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross and Everett Ross were a married couple. Didn't everybody?

Actually I think it was Portman's fault. She still has loads of screen time. She just seems checked out. (Although I do think the scene where she tries to protect unconscious Thor from the collapsing spaceship with her tiny body is cute.)

Sif has a tv series that will probably prevent her from having too big a role. The movie is called "Ragnarok", so I suppose she might have enough time to film a death scene.

Everything that happens on fictional dramatic television is a dream. All that matters is if it was an entertaining dream to pass away an hour of one's time.

Racism wouldn't have been a problem. Six weeks later, The Wolverine was released. That movie featured an ancient evil Asian criminal trying to suck the life and youth out of our white hero. That shit is straight out of a Fu Manchu novel, and the movie still got great reviews without a peep from folks who usually get…

I think in the original script Rebecca Hall's character and Guy Pierce 's character were one person. Tony banged her and ditched her on Millenium Eve, and she carried a grudge over it.
The motivation would still be a little problematic.

Most movies suffer from mediocre villains. Do you remember many of the Fast and Furious baddies? How about any of the Mission Impossible villains not played by Philip Seymour Hoffman? (And that wasn't even one of PSH's better parts) How about the author of all James Bond's pain?

Waste Ben Kingsley??!!
