This is an excellent point, Deacon and I agree completely. This is where I feel they may have missed the boat as far as the Vision is concerned. Sure, he's an android but he also fills the role (when compared to the Justice League) as the Martian Manhunter who's job it is to be the sounding board for everyone else...or it was...I don't know what J'onn is supposed to be these days and neither do the powers-that-be at DC.

 

That's their own fault though, Paul Bettany and Scarlet Johanssen specifically are good actors. There was more than enough talent to spread that emotion around even if they didn't trust Evans to be able to convey it properly. Edit: I remembered after I sent this they all were on the same side. Oh well, I guess that couldn't be helped.

 

 

I largely agree although I maintain my issues with Eisenberg's Luthor...I can't help but seeing a bad mix of The Riddler and The Joker whenever I see a clip of him. I'll need to re watch the movie soon. Maybe my opinion will change.

 

 

The the MCU should flip the <expletive> out when they get a load of Doctor Strange. At his pinnacle (you know, back before he ditched the cloak lost nearly all of his powers and wore a pretty boss looking coat), he makes The Scarlet Witch look like a really bad stage magician. There's a reason his title is/was Sorcerer Supreme (which I know you know...I'm just making a statement).

 

 

The over-the-top grimdark nature of BvS is reflective of the New (read: crappy) 52 imo...and I wouldn't count on Geoff Johns doing much of anything other than pushing Hal Jordan...when he finally makes his debut in the continuity.

Strange is going to be great and yeah if they maintain that type of fear/acceptance the world is going to lose it's collective ish.... To be fair he (comice book version) only makes this version of Scarlet Witch (MCU) look weak. Who's to say weather Strange is toned down? Maybe I am right and they are building her up? Where do they go after Thanos? Maybe it's her and they do a no more mutants story line ala a Jean Grey to Dark Phoenix.  

 

The good news is the New52 is over and Rebirth has begun, IMO, given it a great reason to exist in the first place. I won't spoil anything if here in case you were going to check it out.

 

I have more faith in him than you apprently. I also have faith in Afleck. He wanted this way to bad to watch it blow up.
