    Okay so what is everyone's 90's music wish-list?

    I was thinking something along the lines of Sheryl Crow or No doubt

    -All I want to is have some fun
    - Don't speak from No doubt
    - The Wallflowers

    - Blur - Song 2

    I don't know how to make links but music I loved was just about anything from Alanis Morrisette.

    REM "Everyone Hurts"
    Madonna "This is my Playground"
    REM "Man on the Moon"
    Hazzard song I forget what it's called. Lyrics are something like "I swore she was alive when I last saw her down by the river"
    Mazzy Star's "Fade"
    Lisa Loeb ""Stay"
    Sinead O"Conner "Nothing Compares 2U"
    Mariah Carrey "Vison of Love"

    Just to name a few.

    Ah, the 90's. Back when we had to deal with attacks on the world trade centre, alt right terrorism, OJ Simpson televised legal proceedings, instability in Europe, war in the Middle East, nuclear proliferation, Clinton and Bush running for president, US health care legislilation failures, and Twin Peaks and The X Files were on TV.

    Those times will never come again.

    Though I do recall an Onion headline at the time of Bush's inauguration where he was saying "our long nightmare of peace and prosperity is over." Seems rather prophetic now!

    90's means period piece? I heard this a week ago and I'm still depressed about it.

    I'm old:(

    Those were the days when I subscribed to The Onion and got it in the mail. I still have my subscriber-exclusive Onion t-shirt from 2001. :)

    I actually succumbed to the temptation, but almost immediately regretted it and deleted it.:o

    Oh God. That 70's Show came out in 1998 and was set in 1976. If people were starting to make a 90's show that is exactly the same time period gap, 20 years apart....

    Of course if they did it today, it wouldn't be a "That 90's Show" it'd be a "That 90's Show about the 70's Show", because: meta! ;)

    What if it's a alternate 90's kind of like "The Watchmen" In this one she stops the OKC bombing and saves everyones lives at Waco. Testifies in the OJ trial and he goes to prison. Free's Tibet and many more options.

    Of course, the Marvel-verse had prototype flying cars in the 1940s and shrinking technology in the 1960s, so it'll be interesting to see what they had in the 1990s.

    I saw an interview where Feige stated that this film is going to help largely explain just what the "larger world" is that Tony Stark was stepping into "he just didn't know it yet" because he isn't "the only superhero around".

    Yes Ant-Man and Wasp were covert and probably only known to SHIELD but that is an instance already on the books. I'm sure had Agent Carter continued we would've gotten some '50s versions of something and still could in flashbacks, somewhere.

    I wonder if they will deal with the fact that a good chunk of S.H.E.L.D is hydra agents, biding their time. I think this would be a perfect place to also use Agent Coulson again in the movies and even May it they want to. In fact it might even be fun to see some pre-hero characters in like Tony Stark still making money off of weapons or Bruce Banner as a regular scientist. Black Widow and Hawkeye are proably to young to use.

    In theory you could use Barton as an agent since he'd be in his 20's, but Romanov would be a teenager at most, thouch most certainly active in the field. Actually, thinking about it that would probably make it easier for Nat to appear since they just have to cast a young girl that sort of looks like Johansson. De-ageing Renner while of course feasible, seems a little pointless just for the sake of a cameo. I mean is this supposed to be a Captain Marvel movies or a Baby Agents of SHIELD movie? ;)

    Along that same track, they could also feature the Winter Soldier in some small way, but that might be pushing it. Captain Marvel should be the main focus of the film and not trying to plug in holes of other characters' pasts.
