If you are interested n her work, I cannot really point to Godzilla, other than increasing her Q score.
She did awesome work in Martha Marcy May Marlene. I don't recall much action, more of a Merchant Ivory paced flick, but definitely situated in America. Her performance there made me want to see more, even willing to suffer through Godzilla to see her work.

I just like lookin' at her, is all. I wouldn't say I'm as infatuated w/ her on-screen presence as I am , say... Scarlett Johnansson.
And for some reason, my mind on ' pretties ', I was really impressed with Morena in Deadpool. Not just to look at either. I loved her character ! I've not caught her in too much since Serenity ... V ? Stargate ? Meh... nice to see her, but that wasn't exactly brilliant writing for her. I thought she really brought it as Vanessa.

Hey JSF,
I agree, she was good in "Martha Marcy May Marlene" but I was really turned on by her in the Avengers movie. Her portrayal of the Scarlet Witch had depth
and she showed a great understanding of the character within the Marvel Universe. I was greatly impressed by her in those movies.

Okay Rappy, now you're scaring me.
Again, I find myself agreeing - like 100!!!
This Olsen can act, and she's easy on the eyes. I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I think, if they ever do a prequel or sequel to Serenity, she could play the part of River. Did I go out too far!?

Girl knows the history of Scarlett Witch. Or at least she reads off a teleprompter well enough to make me believe she knows her stuff.

Wow...that Scarlet Witch video was informative.
Hope Vision , Hawkeye and Antman don't share the same fate in the movies as they did in the comics.

We're talking movies and comic books here. Let's not get it twisted.
I am a Jedi, like my father before me. The Force is strong in our family, my father has it, my sister has it and I have it.
Let go of your hate, anger, fear. They lead to the Dark Side.
Consume you it will. I could feel the conflict within you, I will
never turn.

I was really into that when I was a kid and devoured every comic book I could get my hands on. I was into the usual - Superman, Batman, The Flash etc.; then along came Marvel with Spiderman, Thor, Daredevil, X-Men, Ironman,
the Hulk. And then, Sgt. Fury and Shield.
Wow, that brings me back a long ways.
I lost track of my comics back in my twenties. Now they're back with a vengeance.

So I rewatched CA- Civil War again. I think it's the first time since it came out that I really sat down and caught it in one full sitting. Better than I remembered it. Save for the blame game which seems to be going around a lot in - everywhere, Movies and real life. The Avengers weren't the CAUSE of why all those in Sokovia died ( well, more blame could be placed on Stark, and possibly Banner , for tinkering w/ the Mindstone which lead to Ultron... ) but over all, Loki was the cause of invading NY / Earth. Ultron, not The Avengers, were to blame for Sokovia. And Zemo, not the Avengers, were the cause of those Wakandans dying. Had Scarlet Witch NOT moved the explosion away from the ground, all those in the market place would have blown up, as well as Captain America.
Stuff happens. This would be like blaming the Jaegers for the damage the Kaiju caused in Pacific Rim. Sorry, collateral damage happens when bad people are trying to kill civilians and blow things up.
But to the point, about bureaucratic oversight vs complete autonomy and civil liberties, I remain fully on the side of Team Captain America. I didn't dwell on it much at the time, as both Thor and Banner were gone, but what side WOULD have Banner chosen? As Black Widow pointed out to Tony, Banner ( I think he would have likely opted out of the whole thing ) if it came down to it, he's not a big fan of govt authority , so not with Iron Man. Thor ? Not really his fight. Almost certainly would have stayed out entirely.
Now, MY solution would have been something less monolithic , and more like have a 1 person liaison between Avengers and the rest of the world. He'd act kinda like an agent, agreeing to when and where the Avengers would engage, what parameters, etc... , but he'd work out of the U.N. Sort of like agent Coulson , Maria Hill, or Everett K Ross.
( btw - are Sec. State Thaddeus ' Thunderbolt ' Ross and Everett K Ross related ? I know ' Betty ' is the daughter of the SecState , but so far, she's not been a part of the MCU.. )
