Hands down, I consider Elizabeth Olson's Wanda to be the most terrifying villain in the MCU.
I have a crazy pipe dream about an adaptation of TMNT on Netflix based almost entirely around casting Tom Holland as Casey; it has nothing to do with is performance any of the MCU movies, and...
I played TSR D&D-- mostly 2e and Player's Option-- when it was still current, and my favorite editions of D&D still include Player's Option and the Rules Cyclopedia. I play both "modern D&D"-- mostly PF1 and 5e-- and OSR D&D games, mostly Old School Essentials Advanced and White Star.
