I can't believe you brought up the Korvac Saga.

What GH really needs is Wanda Maximoff. (Though why the X-Men haven't hunted her down and killed her is beyond me.)

They have, well not the killing part, but going after her

You will not have them go after my poor, sweet, psychotic Wanda. I wish she were in The Avengers film. That movie needs more than two women.

I dont know why they went with Black Widow. Scarlet Johansen was already a weak choice and played abland character in Iron Man 2. I guess she's easier on the budget but she seems so out of place considering the rest of the male powerhouses. I was hoping for Ms. Marvel

She's hot. That's about it. I think BW had about 3 lines in all of Iron Man 2. BUT Joss Whedon knows how to write and direct strong female characters so I think they'll amp up her presence. You're right though, it's ridiculous to have no superpowered women in a superhero team movie. It should have been Janet or Wanda IMO.

I think these movies are afraid of strong female characters, or they assume the audience is afraid of them. I have never seen Black Widow as an Avenger, to me she works best solo.

Hopefully The Hunger Games will change that mindset. You can have a female lead who kicks ass and still make money.

I think they just didn't have time to introduce a slew of new leads into Avengers - Natasha and Hawkeye were already established. Knowing Joss Whedon, I'm sure groundwork will be laid for the Wasp and whoever knows who else.

I like Scarlett Johansson in certain things, fine actress, but I've never thought she was right for this, and I hate that she doesn't have an accent as Natasha. This is why Emily Blunt - who was originally wanted for the role - should've taken it; she could've done the accent, and you can believe she could kill you and not flinch. But she had some scheduling issue. Still, I'm going to give Scarlett a chance. I do think the Hulk recast is perfect.

As for the Witch, again, I'm sorry, but Wanda has been [!@#$%^&*] crazy for decades. When she finally snapped and killed half the mutant race I was not surprised. Not to say Bendis' work is sheer brilliance, but I do like some of it, and I thought his treatment of Wanda's history was brutal but honest. I'm glad she's alive, but story-wise, the X-Men should've killed her for what she did. She's too dangerous to live. But as a reader, I'm thrilled she's back now. I do hope they bring her, Janet and Carol Danvers in next. I do expect to see Mockingbird next time, actually - Jeremy Renner's a big enough name, he'll get his story.
