Avengers Doomsday: We're out of ideas, but we know you don't care.

I think that would be a huge mistake. No one cares about the multiverse stuff - they can't avoid using it a little, but they ought to downplay it as much as possible, not lean into it hard. Besides, RDJ is happy to play unrecognisable characters. He could do an accent, wear the mask, and have massive scar makeup when he has the mask off.

I would absolutely love it if he is just RDJ, has the mask off frequently, and they just never explain or acknowledge it. Mayyybe have one of the returning characters say, "he looks familiar, but I can't quite place it..."

Now I want an Avengers: Doomsday that is full of things that are just shy of overt references and callbacks, with cameos that are completely mundane and not played up at all, and plot twists that make the characters go "huh, that's weird - oh well, no biggie".

It might be a bit of a fakeout. Maybe Avengers: Doomsday begins with Steve Rogers and family, and Doom shows up and blasts them. Then we see Thor get the same treatment, and finally Tony Stark, then the screen indicates that all this is taking place on Earth 1111 or whatever.

I like this idea.

This is super nitpicky, I know, but each word being capitalized in the sentences at the end is killing me. It's just bad design -- people parse it slower, retain it worse. It's people mostly emulating the New York Times headline font, and they stick with it because they feel they know best, in all things.

Glitch? Easter egg? Hidden message? Or nothing? The Captain America Doomsday trailer also has it with one change: 1e : 24ber : 02020

I'm inordinately fond of the anti-joke. The troll joke. The 'we could have made a joke here, but instead were not and pointing it out' joke.

As bad as it was, I love that the Rob Zombie The Munsters film paid for Cassandra Peterson to show up as a realtor, tease that she was going to be dressed up as 'famous horror character' since it was Halloween, and have her show up as a Wicked Witch instead of Elvira.

I'm eternally disappointed that there wasn't a scene in the Hawkeye miniseries with Jeremy Renner in a bus or on a park bench or something bemoaning to whomever will listen about the challenges of being Hawkeye, only to pan over and show that he's talking to Alan Alda nodding and going, 'Yeah. Yep. Sounds awful. I bet that's tough...'

I have been called post-ironic because of my love for ridiculous things, so I grok this.

Overt 4th wall breaking "jokes" in things that are not intentionally surreal or post modern comedy really works me. It is never funny, and almost always the creators patting themselves on the back for being clever.

Just tell a good story.
