Save money on CGI, or more money for the actors since their face is showing?
That line just feels stupid. "Human avatars only!"

Every time I see this thread I think it's going to be a TV series based on the Vision Quest movie with Matthew Modine, and every time I'm disappointed that it's just more marvel slop.
Seems like
Dr.Retarded
had the same thought too. Apparently I only ever open the thread, see what it is, and immediately close it.

Entertaining enough to watch once. Dumb in ways that retroactively make the initially interesting parts uninteresting. Not worth a second viewing.
This isnt the worst example of an "its all in your head" artsy fartsy movie or show that this forum inexplicably loved. But also certainly not a rebuttal of the argument that "its all in your head" makes for a dumb story.

I remember so much controversy when Sex, Lies, and Videotape came out that it is hard to replace that roll in my head (plus, that hair!), but Daniel Jackson is a close second. Then again, Michael Shanks played Jackson for so long he's almost the default in my head by this point.
He was also in Less Than Zero, since The Shards is such an immense hit TV show right now. But that's a little more obscure.

In my head essentially there's "Young James Spader" and "Old James Spader" as two essentially completely different people.
Young is the OG Daniel Jackson, and from all those brat pack movies.
Old is Raymond Reddington and the voice of Ultron. I still think of Ultron as "Mecha Reddington" essentially.
Love both, but in my head they're completely different dudes.

So, after seeing the second trailer.....
Am I the only one who thinks the second trailer is worse than the first one? Cause that's the feeling I'm taking from it.
Which is a pity since Spader so blatantly stole my look for "Human Avatar Ultron" that I'm pretty sure that's just how I'm going to dress to hand out Halloween candy.

Question, why is this recommended after this trailer?
Follow up question, why does this exist?

it does sorta look like the paul bettany + james spader acting duo power hour, which is cool enough. if it came out 3-4 years ago i think it woulda been hype, now its just kinda feels like an epilogue to the marvel (failed) TV experiment.
i haven't watched wandavision since it aired way back during the covid (?) days, i'd probably rewatch that and then watch this after all the episodes drop. honestly the only question i'd have is -- does wanda show up?

I am a big fan of Spader, with 2 Days in the Valley, Boston Legal, Less than Zero, and Black List being guilty pleasures for me. In fact, I don't think I have ever seen a movie with him in it that was not worth time to watch. Shows, too, aside from that terrible no ass having Elizabeth character in Blacklist. Bettany is pretty decent too, having easily been the best part of WandaVision as one example. I am down with giving it a shot. It looks like a major continuation of the Ship of Theseus exploration from WandaVision.

People loved to hate on Marvel TV because most of it sucked, so many missed out on the great parts of Wandavision.
Two scenes in Wandavision are among the top 10 MCU scenes afaic.
Fake Vision's last moments: the whole scene ending with his line "I wonder what I'll be next".
Fake vision vs White vision Ship of Theseus argument.
If they build on that, theres a ton of potential here.

Until it devolved into Visions punching eachother, I really liked Wandavision. My biggest complaint was Randall Park, Monica Rambeau and Kat Dennings feeling like they were thrown in cause they were worried people would think the show was too weird. Should have been weirder frankly and dont done anything outside of the town.
