    Respected actors have been doing those kind of parts for decades, I don't really see where it's a problem.

    I suppose it was okay for Sean Penn to appear on Two and a Half Men, though.

    Susan Sarandon didn't seem to find the role insulting. She chose to do the part, because she found it interesting.. So perhaps we could respect the choices she's made, like any other actor?

    She chose to do it. So, perhaps there is an assumption of insult when none is actually present??? :shrug:
    I keep reading about AfterM*A*S*H so I would be curious to check it out.

    Ouch! Forgotten already? You were just down ther
    Yeah, Disney has a pretty good relationship with the press. It would be a shame for Sean Penn to jeopardize that by, y'know, ASSAULTING them! :p

    Let's not forget about Cate Blanchett, Jeff Bridges, Brie Larson, Michael Douglas, William Hurt, Tommy Lee Jones, Ben Kingsley...
    Heck, if we're folding the Sony movies into the MCU, we can add Jared Leto to the list.

    That's a valid criticism (albeit not one I agree with) but, again, that's not insulting.

    I'm a bit surprised to see him doing a series rather than one of the movies. They have said the movies and shows will crossover, so I guess there's a chance his character could also show up in a movie.

    First official look at Winter Soldier and WandaVision during Superbowl. I'm sure the clip will hit YouTube soon.

    Here it is for all three of them (Loki, too!):



    Wanda is wearing the classic leotard and head-thingy in a very fast shot!

    And a very pregnant belly in her '60's hippie' phase. So looks like we're throwing the twins (Vin and Viv?) in there too!

    EDIT: CONFIRMED. A quick glimpse of 80's Wanda/Vision looking down at TWO cribs!!!

    Would be funny if they were aged up and played by Ashley and Mary-Kate. :lol:

    (Yeah, yeah, I know they're retired but still...)

    Vin and Viv are fully synthetic. Wanda's kids with Vision are Billy (Wiccan, though I think he's changed it now) and Tommy (Speed).

    Wow, that was an awesome surprise during the Super Bowl! I was so hoping they'd show something from WandaVision, but was holding out no hope at all for anything from Loki, so that was a complete surprise.

    The WandaVision footage is getting most of the attention, and rightfully so. That show is going to be so cool. But don't overlook Loki. At first I was wondering what the significance of the "TW" logo was on his attire, but then it was pointed out to me that it actually said "TVA". And while it would have been cool if Loki was taking on Time Warner, when I learned that it was actually TVA instead I literally jumped out of my chair, because I am a HUGE fan of Walt Simonson's run on Thor.

    I'm ready for Falcon & Winter Soldier. Is it August yet? Impossible to tell from a mere 10-15 seconds of footage, but it looks like it will end up being much more of a straightforward action show than WandaVision and Loki will end up being. The super quick shots we saw from that particular show certainly looked good. Big screen levels of quality good.

    I can't wait, I'm ready for some more MCU. That commercial worked!

    Simonson's Thor run involved the Tennessee Valley Authority? :shrug:

    Why do you think Dr. Strange, by the end of the '16 film, became OK with killing people?

    I don't think he did. Kaecilius and his followers didn't "die" after all.
