This isn't "new" or news. This was announced back in 2011.

 Shogunn, the reason it matters is because of thoughts like this:

"I like Agent Coulson fine, but he died. Bringing him back just to be on TV is lame, in my humble opinion."

The point I'm making is because people are mad that they're "bringing him back" when he was never really gone.

The other thing is that Joss Whedon is known for killing beloved characters. Tara on Buffy, Fred on Angel, Wash on Firefly/Serenity. "Killing" Coulson was something that fans of Whedo were expecting. NOT having him die plays against type, which is what good writer/directors do: defy expectations. If the TV show hadn't come along, then Whedon would have simply brought him back in Avengers 2 or one of the other films. I think this just works out better.

 It's not a prequel. It's not a prequel.

AND COULSON DIDN'T DIE, FFS!!! They admit it in Avengers! Hill points out that the trading cards were in Coulson's locker, NOT in his coat, and Fury says something about the team needing a push. 

They showed the medical crew arrive, and then they cut to the bridge that the audio, when Fury says he didn't make it. 

FURY LIED, Coulson was never dead! Dear Lord, sometimes I feel like I'm the only one that watched the movie, but I guess dialogue is too much when there's flashy spaceships and stuff flying around.

(sorry for the ranting tone, but for a year now people keep bitching about Coulson dying, but he was never shown as dead.)

 If anyone likes the story-concept for the Injustice game, I really recommend the digital-comic version. The only thing that's irritating is they read pretty quickly, and it sucks waiting for the next one! Great story so far, though.

 I like Viggo Mortensen best out of that list.

One thing I don't get, though: "they need someone young and great actor"

Dr. Strange's fictional biography reads:

"Doctor Stephen Strange was a brilliant but egotistical neurosurgeon who only cared about wealth from his career. Then a car accident damaged his hands, shattering the bones. The damage and subsequent healing effectively ended his ability to conduct surgery as he had before, since his hands now trembled uncontrollably. Too proud to take on a teaching job, Strange desperately began the search for a cure to restore his hands, consulting various doctors, homeopathic treatments and travelling around the world to remote regions for exotic cures, all to no avail."

Start undergrad at age 17 (give the benefit of the doubt, I graduated HS at 17), 4 years of undergrad; 4 years of med school, 7 years of residency, and another couple of years doing fellowship work. That gets you to 34 years old before he's really even established.

After a couple of years of building a reputation to earn his egotistical side, the he has the accident. Spends years more and his entire fortune trying to find a way to fix his hands. Call it 3 years on the job, and 2 or three years running around the world. Now you've got a guy in his 40s. And that's when he's STARTING to train as the "Sorceror Supreme".

You need a seasoned actor for the role. Maybe get someone younger (and less known) for some origin-story flashbacks, but for the Doc himself? No, you need a mid-40s guy to pull that role.

 Any chance of someone getting a transcript up for this?

 I've seen reference made here and a few other sites that say things about this movie being filmed in China. Where the hell is that coming from, because the only list of shooting locations I can find (that I trust - IMDb) lists multiple locations in North Carolina, California, and Florida. Not one mention of China. Was this someone's assumption because Mandarin was in it?

 Stewart better have started at the gym a while ago for Warpath!

 I would have thought JRJ and Walt would have been a little higher. Not complaining or saying it's wrong, just an observation.

 I think Rob Liefeld HAS to be on this list. His stuff isn't "real world" by any stretch, grossly distorted anatomy, ridiculous guns, and pouches and bandoliers everywhere!

But what Liefeld did was he drew in kids. He drew in the 14, 15, 16 year olds that helped push the entire industry to it's peak in the early- to mid-90s. Along with McFarlane and Lee, Liefeld was one of the guys that made comics "cool" (if a little too main-stream to some degree).

I liken it to Quentin Tarantino. Personally, I don't like his style, but there is no argument to be made that says he didn't make an impact. (and yes, I understand my opinion on Tarantino is in the minority, but I think the example holds).

So, yeah, I understand the view on Liefeld, but to leave him off this list and say he wasn't an influence on the comic industry would be absurd.
