Carol was always one of my favorites (and if you're a fan of hers along with others like Rogue, Jessica Drew, Scarlet Witch, you really should read Avengers Annual #10 - probably the best Avengers comic for many years, not even written by someone who wrote for the Avengers in these years...).

I always loved Janet Van Dyne too, and I doubt she will ever be in these movies, so it would be nice if Carol was. She has never quite clicked with Marvel readers, but I could see her doing well with film audiences.

AFAIK Janet may be in Ant-Man in some capacity, but it may be a flashback - her daughter is featured in the present-day, I believe. Janet is a big favorite of mine. I know she was originally supposed to be in the first Avengers, but they didn't feel they had enough time to properly develop her on top of everyone else.

I think Carol has clicked enough, really. She is not a huge star like some other Marvel females, but she is a mainstay and there is a consistent investment in her these days. Plus, I love what they've done with her legacy with the young Muslim girl.

Marvel truly had no idea what they were even doing with that story. Thanks go to Carol Strickland (and most of all Chris Claremont) for getting the ugliness of it all addressed.

As for the Wasp - it seems wrong if the only way they can have a role for her is some sort of fridging. I would rather they just not mention her at all.

Wonderbread Wanda looking like generic fan graphics for Lord of the Rings, and the ever-middle-aged Pietro who is, I suppose, covering up his age spots?

I guess at least those posters are continuing the bizarre marketing campaign that has consistently put me off both of these casting choices.

Aaron Tyler Johnson is hot and that's all hes got going for him. He was just a pretty face and built like a tank body and that's all I remember of him from Godzilla last year.

I will say the trailers have gotten me semi interested....if only to see the fight scenes and James Spaders portrayal as the main Gillian. Chris Evans and Aaron are just eye candy incentives/bonuses at this point...

    • When put very plainly it wouldn't make sense, but you could say that Ashley would prefer someone that can pay his own way without sharing expenses and has more than a working class experience. Andre might want someone more stable and level headed. Of course the issue is that the characters don't match despite the plausibility of a connection making s
    • I am fine with no one mentioning Bob-ette again.  It's frustrating not ever knowing what was up with him truly or why we wasted so much time on that to never get a conclusion.  I am willing to forget it though. Abe being on the board makes more sense to me because of Lexie and Theo.  I think there was a wing dedicated to Autism research or treatment years ago possibly named after Theo and Lexie was the chief of staff at some points and worked there for years.  I could see Abe having interest in the hospital still.
    • TR eventually came to be a nickname for Theresa Regina, the name her kidnappers gave her. Estelle never referred to her as Rebecca, though, always Theresa. I guess that was what TR wanted.    TR went to Switzerland. Jane returned for the last week.  After Ryder died, TR never had a love interest. I assume they gave up. I wouldn’t have dropped John Loprieno as Danny but he got squeezed out by Quinn, really. A TR/Evie/Jerry triangle might’ve worked.    David Forsyth and Jackie Schultz had good chemistry. I liked Luann though. I think Sharon Gabet would’ve been a more interesting recast, and she might’ve kept Joe Lambie on as Lloyd.    But Suzi and Wendy were gone, and Liza was talking about leaving town to join Gary in Africa, so before the cancellation, I do believe Liza was getting phased out.  Sunny and Patti and Evie were set up as heroines, and it was a small show. 
    • Andre/Ashley are a mismatch and not in a cute opposites attract sort of way. He is a very stylish photographer, independently wealthy, wordly  and she is a simple, struggling nurse with limited experiences. He has been having a covert sexual relationship with an older divorced woman and she is involved with a meat and potatoes blue collar  dude. Just  don't see what the attraction would be on either side.
    • I read that somewhere too - maybe it was mentioned in that book? I hope it's true.
    • I took a break from Edge of Night to finally start watching this. I watched the first week's worth of episodes. I started off chronologically even though they released the show originally with the Barnabas era first (don't know when he comes in). I had those discs in the complete coffin collection. I'm watching the complete series on Amazon so I hope Amazon doesn't pull a Knots Landing and yank the series before I finish as I don't have all of the beginning episodes. Thoughts: I appreciate the creepy black and white vibe and how everything is so mysterious even when it's just people walking into rooms. I also like seeing actors I know (Louis Edmonds, Joan Bennett, Mitchell Ryan, Conrad Bain (although he might be a cameo), etc.). It was nice to finally see Joel Crothers as I have yet to see him on Edge of Night. Crothers is quite looking so I wish he'd show up on EON. Mitchell Ryan is also attractive. I like how they set up Devlin's animosity towards the Collins family during this week.  We're left to wonder why Roger is so upset. Why is Devlin angry? What happened to Roger's wife? Who wrote to Victoria? Not much has really happened but I'm intrigued. The dialogue is certainly not on the level of EON. It amuses me they leave bloopers in. Bennett in particular struggles with doors. Was this filmed live?

    • @BoldRestless @fivethej Apologies for the late reply! But yes as far as I know I do still have the tape. I remember asking for instructions on this wayy back in 2020, but I will definitely reach out. Only issue is I know my VHS tape collection is in my basement, which looks like the Chancellor mansion attic at the moment.

      Also I while I still have DVD/VHS combo player do they even hook-up to modern TV sets or still need a CRT TV? Just asking as I know some folks being off off guard when trying to hook older equipment like some VHS sets and older game consoles quite unsuccessfully 
    • It's evident that there was reset of Derek and Ashley's storyline. The attempt to build tension over Derek not resting enough after being injured on the job was not working but the tension over moving in together is. The characters are still not thrilling, but today they at least were worth paying attention to. The writers do want Ashdre and they are easing toward it again.
