I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I have no idea what language you guys are speaking.

Neither do I.

You might as well be talking about Mass Effect.

Oh, that one I know. But the musical stuff is over my head so I'm not earwormed.

Because books.

I'm a little startled by how many I've heard of but have never actually seen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Four franchises? Without IMDB, I can only think of three-Bourne++, MI, and Avengers. What am I forgetting? Hey, he's cashing a bigger paycheque than most guys who aren't Robert Downey Jr. It's not a hard life. But I don't know what sort of an ego he has. He might be the sort of guy that wants to be Robert Downey Jr. I got no idea.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

He might be the sort of guy that wants to be Robert Downey Jr.

His role in House certainly suggests so.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I assume they would try to make Hawkeye into a franchise -- may not work, but I don't doubt they'll try.

I am entirely shallow because I would watch that. Unless they made it Natasha and Hawkeye (with some Bucky?) because then I would be in it for way more than the shallow reasons. But those too.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm pretty sure it would be a Hawkeye/Black Widow movie.

I saw a photoshopped poster for that movie on Tumblr. Budapest: The Movie. I would watch it in a heartbeat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I would be surprised if they managed to make Black Widow and Hawkeye franchises separate from each other, or bothered to try. Kinda because the people I'm asking only barely have a concept of Captain America as a character. Those two didn't make a huge impression in a lot of the non-comics people I polled.

Iron Man was a fucking miracle and they owe all sorts of arcane sacrifices to RDJ. Thor and Cap are kinda coasting on that, I feel, but Marvel has managed all sorts of magic out of characters that were not originally iconic. It's amazing.
