There are other male actors in the world; surely they could have cast someone else.
Chris Evans was Johnny Storm in one of the failed Fantastic Four films before he was Cap.

Hush, and let me grumble!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Most of the differences listed in the article are really minor, but that's still crazy.

Whoa! I wonder how that will be resolved when it’s streaming or whatever

I don't know what to think about Secret Invasion. At this point, I'm assuming that everyone is a Skrull. Literally everyone. In fact, probably half of the filing cabinets are also Skrulls.
The Skrulls who are all "We need a place to live! Fury hasn't helped us!" must really hate the fact that the Asgardians have their own town and government on Earth while the Skrulls are hanging out at abandoned nuclear plants. They should probably hook up with the Flag-Smashers from the Falcon and the Winter Soldier series.
Finally, Olivia Colman is fucking awesome, as always.

Such a stacked cast; such a dumb plot.

My brother is thrilled that it looks like Super Skrull is going to be in the plot. And I just feel like maybe I hit my Marvel saturation point. Although I still am excited about The Marvels in November.

I just went to Disney+ to watch Secret Invasion and saw Avatar: The Way of Water and thought “ooh, water tribe shenanigans, what is Katara up to” and clicked on it before realizing that it’s not that Avatar.
This is possibly not the right thread for that. But I *am* going to watch Secret Invasion now.

Same. I’ll have friends over to watch Secret Invasion on Fridays until we finish it, but that’s mostly an excuse to hang out and drink cocktails. I haven’t seen the latest Guardians and I think I may be behind on Doctor Strange, but I find I don’t care enough to check. Eh, there are other franchises in the world.
