You've got to do something with her front teeth too, though. Maybe glue some chiclets on there to make them look like buck teeth?

That attempt at CGI could be interesting in the future though. Pay a big name actor a licensing fee, hire an unknown to do the role and see if they catch on, and tell the public that it's totally A List actor playing the part using the CGI program that totally exists.

You're still paying full price for the A List actor then. Using fake CGI to bluff a scale actor/actress into the lead while paying an A List actor perhaps voice over money is going to save millions. Then if your scale actor resonates with the public you can just pay them until they get too big and then start over with them playing the part of the original A list actor.

You just have to do it for a few successful movies and then you can leak the truth to the public and then never have to worry about paying A List actors A List money ever again.

Also we don't need Michelle Yeoh when Ming-na Wen is already part of the MCU. She even fought Mark Dacascos in the most recent AoS episode.

If you think calling me names is gonna get a rise out me, think again. I like my life as an idiot!
Thinking about Lich Queen Aunt May made me just realize that her Skeletor incarnation never actually made sense. She is Peter's mother's sister. In the Raimi Spidermans, Peter is like early 20s. Thus I would expect his parents to be in their early-mid 50s. Yet Aunt May is like 70.

Would have made much more sense if she was Grammy May.

Not that this is a route we should explore too deeply, but Sally Field has been naked on camera before, according to the Google search I did just now.

It's to show distance. Grandparents are supposed to be the cool people you go to when your parents are busy, and typically you get to eat all the candy there that you wont get at home. Pete living with his grandparents would send a totally different signal than him living with his aunt and uncle.

All that is lost when Aunt May looks and acts like a grandma anyway, but that's my guess for why she wasn't his grandma to begin with.

Aunt May isn't a blood relative of Peter Parker. Uncle Ben was Peter's, father's brother. May was May Reilly until she married Ben.

It's also possible Aunt May was into some serious drugs before Ben and her adopted Peter, I've met plenty of people who are clean and sober now, but those years chasing the dragon took it's toll, people who look older than my parents but are actually younger than me.

He literally says that's why he goes by that name. In fact, that might be the first time May's maiden name was actually ever revealed.

I'm pretty hyped for it! I think the fact that Marvel released the review embargo so early shows how confident they are, and the reviews I've read have made it sound really solid.

Now I'm just trying to avoid clips and trailers for three weeks so I don't feel like I've seen the entire film before I get to the theater.
