I feel like she also uses it at least one point in Avengers 1 to take out a Chitari?

When the Ray Fisher allegations first came out- Alan Tudyk made a comment on twitter about not being able to even imagine Joss was capable of this behaviour. (This comment was also liked by James Gunn...and possibly Jewel Staite as well, but I might be misremembering re-Jewel.)

Alan then got ripped into on twitter for…

Just a by the way- Whedon was brought in to do a final rewrite/ polish of Captain America: The First Avenger’s script and was credited by Feige with helping to ‘save’ a script that wasn’t working.
So he had at least some of a hand in Cap’s appearance in TFA, which is something that tends to be forgotten about when…

Oh 100%, I’m firmly of the belief that the idea to make Harry Lennix’s character Martian Manhunter, for instance, only came about well after the original shoot and was based on Snyder saying yes to fan theories.

4 hour cut + over a year to put it together. If Whedon had over a year to put together a cut of Justice League, and wasn’t given a requirement to make it all under 2 hours, it’s not hard to believe he would have come up with a better film that what we got in cinemas.
(And while we’re on this train of thought, I would…

So, she’s ‘supposed to be an academic’ on her twitter? She’s not allowed to make non-serious tweets? (like you know, a person instead of a brand.)

Yes when he was more than double her age.

Some important context you’re missing is that he charges were dropped after a settlement was reached with the two actors at the center of the lawsuit.

As someone who grew up on the prequels, I’ll defend them here and say I do prefer them to the sequels by a slight margin.

Agreed I definitely feel the casting of the American film did a much better job of capturing the leads.
Like Blomkvist in the novel is shown to be this guy who is near irresistible to women and reads like an author insert mixed with James Bond...so casting James Bond in the role captured that perfectly!

‘And Whedon has no excuse for not getting it. The core of the what made the MCU version of Steve Rogers such a compelling character...was explicitly established in Captain America: The First Avenger.’

Yeah, it’s clearly a reference to Indiana Jones...but the way the character behaves just doesn’t feel Jones-esque to me at all. It’s the difference between ‘this scene reminds me of Indiana Jones’ and ‘this character/ actor reminds me of Indiana Jones.’
The Simpsons also paid homage to the idol swap scene with Bart,…

While singing along to Come & Get Your Love, dancing around the temple and kicking little dinosaur creatures...none of which screamed Indiana Jones to me. I certainly see how the Guardians films have referenced Indiana Jones, but the character of Star Lord really doesn’t read as Indiana Jones-esque to me.

I never really saw Star Lord as that much like Indiana Jones? And so far I’ve never seen Pratt in anything which makes me believe he could play the academic side of Indy.

I’ve heard similar stories.
I had friends who were crew members on Thor Ragnarok, had a great time making the film, then jumped at the chance to work on Aquaman when it came around. (The thought- Superhero movie, Jason Momoa seems like a cool, this will be another fun set.)
Then production came around, and Momoa was a…

I saw this brought up in another article about this but- Superman also got a catchphrase in the theatrical cut. (The ‘I like truth, but I’m also a big fan of justice’ intro was clearly designed as a call-back to the ‘truth, justice & the American way’ catchphrase and meant for fans to see this Superman as a more…

There’s photos of The Rock with David Hasselhoff from when he was making Baywatch, and Hasselhoff is clearly a few inches taller than The Rock.

Nah I’m with you...They really don’t look that alike to me, and nothing I’ve seen Sebastian Stan in has made me think ‘this guy should be Luke Skywalker.’

Agreed this is why I actually kinda feel comics (DC/Marvel in particular) should abandon the idea of continuity and just focus on telling good stories.
Having connected universes with their own continuities works fine for a couple of years- but the longer it goes on/ the more convoluted it all gets, the more I feel…

This is one of the things I don’t like about how the MCU has developed- or rather the expectations around it sometimes.
Because it’s a big shared universe and they like talking up how connected it is, there are chunks in the fandom that almost feel like this is the only thing that really matters in the MCU stories. So…
