For me, AFCW, it’s a meatier / starring role and she’s just amazing, don’t get me wrong, she’s terrific in TP, but Wanda has:

My favorite part about that was Siskel and Ebert’s reaction: Ebert was flattered to be in a Godzilla movie while Siskel was baffled as to why Emmerich went to the trouble of putting them in the movie and not have Godzilla kill them.

And Roland Emmerich’s Godzilla (1998) featured an incompetent Mayor Ebert and his assistant Gene, presumably because Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert never seemed to like Emmerich’s films.

It happens!  Honestly I was super excited just because Mr. Immortal is the first time we’ve seen a member of the Great Lakes Avengers in the MCU.  Can my all-time favorite Squirrel Girl be far behind?

Same age:

sheesh, you’re right, i AM mistaken--should have been more specific in terms of guest stars/GLK&H clients
