To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, January 15, 2009, 9:26 AM I think you're approaching this from the wrong angle, Martin. The current crop of Marvel produced films, like their animated shows, etc, all take place in their own setting. Trying to view it through one of Marvel's established continuities is just gonna give you a headache. I like SLJ as Nick Fury, personally.
