Articulated Thoughts General Movie News & Discussion

Speaking of Marvel......if they plan to do something with their "Young Avengers", shouldn't they get going with that? Because those actors and actresses are now about the age that the original Avengers cast when the first movie hit. Kate Bishop is pregnant BTW.

Completely fulfilling montage, baby!

Completely fulfilling. I'm not even bothered that they invented a problem that could only be solved by making a callback to an event they only told us about. That's just "world building."

I remember many many years back reading about a Fantastic Four proposal that was more modeled after the Beatles' "Hard Day's Night" that supposedly had a semi-comedic sequence of them defeating a bunch of villains while evading their mobs of adoring fans. And in context of the time, that idea kind of works for me. The clip show version that we got in First Steps felt more like how the last Fantastic Four movie repurposed trailer scenes into, like, satellite footage of Ben working for the Army or whatever.

Kate Bishop is pregnant BTW.

I say roll with it. Hailee Steinfeld's Hawkeye is just pregnant in the Young Avengers movie, and nobody even really mentions it.

To be fair, Hollywood has actors in their late 20's-early 30's play teenagers all the time, so I'd say they're right on track.

They should just bring RDJ back again and have him play Iron Lad this time. Why not.

Or, since Gwenyth seems to constantly forget she's in these movies, have RDJ in a wig playing Pepper, and have no one mention it. Have him play the ghost of Aunt May too. It feels in line to have Peter hallucinating some weird hybrid of Tony and May.
