If it were 22 weeks that'd be right on the borderline of what doctors say is safe to lose. I know you tend to lose weight faster after a pregnancy, but it still sounds as if she had a secret amputation or something mixed in to get that figure.

If Conroy hadn't physically aged out of the part, I'd root for him to be cast in the live action role.

They REALLY should have gotten Sam Elliot back for that role. He was the one standout element of the Ang Lee movie.

They did have a couple of nice power scenes for Quicksilver, like him seeing Hawkeye's bullet flying up past him in slow motion as the glass floor collapsed underneath him, and grabbing hold of Mjolnir in flight before finding out he was unable to redirect its path. For all the destruction his fights caused, Superman also singlehandedly saved 7 billion people from having their planet terraformed out from under them. And I question why all those civilians in Metropolis were still hanging around in the buildings he and Zod were crashing through when an alien spaceship had effectively nuked the center of the city about 40 minutes earlier. I know I'd have either been in a car on my way out of the city or cowering in a subway station somewhere.

Trust me, Joss has seen far worse than Twitter can throw at him. Back when Tara died on Buffy, lunatic "fans" from the Kitten Board were sending him death threats. I think he deleted his online presence because he's completely burned out from making the movies and dealing with studio restrictions, and is no longer contractually obligated to promote the MCU, not because some tween girls are being mean to him.

It used to really bother me that the WB's voiceover promos mostly had actors introducing their shows as themselves, but Angel had James Marsters start his off with "Hi, I'm Spike" in a faux Cockney accent. Of course, Marsters basically hasn't done anything since the turn of the century that DIDN'T get on my last nerve. Hey, if you can cure blindness and leprosy and resurrect the dead I'm guessing tooth decay isn't that big a problem. Oh God, I was all set to avoid that movie like the plague until the latest trailer revealed that Rob Kazinsky not only appears in it as a love interest, but apparently has a farcical nude scene. Maybe I'll just buy some ear plugs before attending.

PLEASE tell me she doesn't sing in this movie!

I tuned in out of affection for Zachary Knighton, but after 20 minutes of not so much as grinning I'm out. The people who made this apparently forgot that sitcoms are supposed to be funny.

Red wine isn't that bright a red, and they didn't have strawberry daquiris in WWII. There were people fighting along with the people dancing in that ballroom, so I assumed the wounded guy was symbolic of the war effort.

Here's my ranking: The Avengers Captain America: The First Avenger Captain America: The Winter Soldier Avengers: Age of Ultron Guardians of the Galaxy Iron Man and Iron Man 3 (I'm not sure which I prefer) Blade Thor: The Dark World Blade 2 Thor The Incredible Hulk Blade: Trinity Daredevil (the Ben Affleck movie) Elektra the Marvel characters segments in Disaster Movie Iron Man 2

I thought that sketch might take a darker turn once the robo-stewardess turned up in the co-pilot's seat and the pilot didn't know what had happened to him. Like "does anyone know how to fly a plane, and also stop a murder-bot?" dark. The Black Widow movie preview was perfect. I feel out laughing at Thor as Natasha's sassy gay roommate, and again at Bobby with the ice cream cones.

Geez, you bang one Doombot and people never let you hear the end of it...

Aside from being soldiers, Steve and Thor are also noble figures who don't seem to have much in the way of inner demons - their regrets and worries are mostly about things external to them. Whereas Tony and Bruce are more flawed people whose own hubris is responsible for their worst traumas. I'd have been interested to see Natasha interact with Wanda afterwards - she's been a straight up murderer in the past and was raised to be such from childhood, which makes all the guys' moral lapses and secrets pale in comparison.

It definitely made a shifting sound when Steve tried, and my impression was that it moved a bit. My personal headcanon is that making the attempt for bragging rights rather than out of real need may have been the only thing preventing him from lifting it easily. Based on the end of the last movie I would think that Steve could also talk to the Hulk in a friendly manner and get him to calm down. Maybe Tony too if he weren't in an Iron Man suit and being antagonistic, but that would be a big risk to take when one impulsive flip remark could be the difference between life and death. I suppose Thor could try, but his efforts didn't do much good in the previous movie and he doesn't have the longest fuse himself when being thrown through walls and such. And a Hulk vs. Thor fight probably causes a LOT more collateral damage than the Hulk rampaging alone.

The thing I'm most upset about is that Tony wasn't more upset over Jarvis having to "die" in order to create the Vision. Dammit, in creating a functional, moral AI he basically did most of the work of a parent, and seeing what's effectively his child sacrifice itself and be reborn as this strange new creature with a very different personality should have had a more visible emotional impact on him.

Yeah, not at all suspicious. I mean, unless I believe a home intruder is some sort of supernatural creature that's going to rise from the grave and come after me again if I don't chop the body up or burn it, I think after dropping him my next step is to leave the home and notify the police from a safe location nearby.

Is Coulson completely operating in secret and cut off from the World Security Council now that Fury's named him as heir apparent? For that matter, is "Real" SHIELD? It seems as if some major problems with logistics, intel, and jurisdictional conflicts with fully authorized militaries would crop up pretty fast if they have no contact with at least the governments in the World Security Council. And I don't mean as in General Talbot having a personal beef with them, I mean having a carrier battle group hunting them down.

Between what Hawkeye, Thor, and the Hulk did to it SHIELD might not have had any option other than decommissioning it after the movie. Fury also smeared a nuke-carrying fighter jet across the flight deck, so it's possible the whole thing was contaminated with weapons-grade uranium or plutonium. They might also want to rethink having the turbines vent into a central lab overlooking the command deck in future versions.

Might be a case of managing where hunting him down falls on Coulson's priority list. If he just vanishes from the mission like he did, Coulson has lots of other things to worry about. If he leaves Jemma's dead body behind, bringing him to justice zips up to #2 (right below saving Skye from the people she's willingly hanging out with and in no apparent danger from).

Hell, have her be a third party spoiler, like a fictional contemporary of Shirley Muldowney, who zooms in and saves the day when all seems lost. Like Buster Crabbe's guest appearance on the Buck Rogers TV series.

Hell, I always wondered why he wasn't considered an option for the live action films when they were playing Musical Batmans. It's not as if Val Kilmer was the obvious choice for the role like Pierce Brosnan was for Bond back in the day. I think Henry Cavill is the best Superman since Reeve's second outing in the role (though Dean Cain may edge him out as my favorite Clark Kent), and I love Amy Adams, the first cinematic Lois Lane that I've felt is actually smart enough to be a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist. I'm worried that both of the are going to have brief cameos in what's turning out to be The Dark Knight Returns II: More Darkerer.

Oh yeah, that was a great scene. Go right ahead Ward, needle the person who can kill you with her bare hands if she lets that iron self-control drop.

I suppose if Chloe Bennett can learn how to do the stunt choreography in a similar amount of time, I have to accept that it's possible for Skye to have learned to actually handle herself that well in a fight with intensive training from May.

I am perfectly fine with that, as bouncers couldn't keep me away from the movie on opening day. It's the reverse, needing to have followed this series to know what's going on in a MCU film, that I'd have a problem with.

Was it by any chance Cypher with Jeremy Northam?
