Long-running, of franchise reboots (comics, etc)

If you say foolish things, on matters you know nothing about, people are going to call you out on it. Especially because they can't tell how foolish you sound until after they've heard you sound foolish.

Makes sense to me.

If the movies aren't any good, why should I watch them?

How do you know for certain they aren't without having watched them?

Given that they didn't cast Norton in Avengers, it's understandable to think they discarded the story, too.

Just as TSFS discarded TWOK because they recast Saavik, or TDK discarded Begins because they recast Rachel. Oh wait.

Iron Man was great. The sequel was not.

Which has got to do what, exactly, with anything? Not that I'm entirely sure your personal opinion on those movies is worth all that much, but at least it apears you actually saw them.
