The 22nd Amendment specifies that "no person" can be elected president more than twice. I think it would be difficult to argue that a Hulk is a separate person rather than an alternate form of the same person. Apparently some scholars have argued that the alternate personalities of someone with dissociative identity disorder should be legally treated as distinct people, though I don't think that would hold up to medical analysis, since they're really just parts of a single personality that are dissociated from each other.

I think it's more likely that a person with Hulkism (to coin a term, I think) would be seen as a single person with a medical disorder than as two different people. After all, Article II specifies that "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America," singular. Two people cannot be President of the United States at the same time, so if a person with Hulkism were legally recognized as two people, they'd be disqualified from the office anyway.
"No person", you say?! So, could a dog be elected president more than twice? Quick, someone call the producer of Air Bud!

John Oliver has two separate web exclusive pieces on how wild that franchise has become...and continues to be, so I want this to happen  just to see his reaction to it!

One has to also be a American civilian. The dog in question would have first needed to have been born in the United States and become granted rights equal to any human.
 
Damn, I thought it would be a given she would return. Quite disappointing she wasn't even asked.

If I know Hollywood, someone probably decided that she was too old because she's a woman even though the males are of similar age.
Maybe but Rebecca Romijn is returning.
 
As has become an annual tradition, I watched Werewolf by Night this evening. The special is pitch perfect and remains deliciously macabre and a beautiful callback to 50s monsters films, but with modern sentiments. I'm continuously disappointed that we haven't gotten any kind of follow-up with Elsa, Jack, and Ted, whether in another special or crossing over to any show (especially What If...?) or film. Perhaps they'll appear in Blade if it's actually produced. Perhaps that was always the intended next stop for them but the wait has unfortunately extended greatly.
 
Yeah, there was little emphasis on continuity, Fox needed a Feige.

who mystique well yeah she did die in x men new class 3 dark phoneix but that was i guess in the 20th century fox universe
I was talking about Jean, but now that you mention it, yes, Raven died in 1992 in the post-DOFP revised "new" timeline. ( Also, that was the fourth movie in the First Class continuity, not the third. )
It's starting to look like the X-Men who turn up in Avengers will be from a universe in which the first three X-Men films ( or their equivalents ) happened but DOFP did not. Or they could be from a point in the "original" timeline prior to 2023, if that's an option.

I'm starting to suspect that we won't actually ever see the Earth-10005 universe again now that Wade Wilson has come to Earth-616 and that the X-Men characters we've seen in The Marvels and will see in Doomsday are from a brand-new universe even though they're played by the same actors that played characters from Earth-10005.
