I get it now! Then I look around and it’s Robert Downey, Jeremy Renner, and Scarlett. Johannson. [sighs]. And I’m having the actor’s squee too!
One of these days I’ll read the books/see the movie.
This is a propaganda poster I need to have on my wall.
I did try not to kill him in The Lost Future, but I think we lost him in the rewrite. Must check.
