This might be better in IMHO, CS, or P&E, but it doesn’t seem to fit precisely into any of them in particular, so MPSIMS is where I’m putting it.
I am easily manipulated by emotional crescendos in movies, no matter how obvious and cheesy. In the Avengers movies, there’s always that big moment when they all gather for the climactic battle. The outward facing circle of the heroes at the end of the first movie, and the grand shout of “Avengers assemble!” from Captain America at the end of the last one gave me great thrills.
With the chaos that is the current administration’s approach to the global-pandemic-that-shall-not-be-named (I know, wrong universe), I feel like I need to fantasize a little about a new administration sweeping in to clean up the omnishambles that is currently going on. I have no illusions that getting Trump out will fix everything instantly, but a guy can dream. I imagine waking up the day after Election Day, with a new Democratic administration waiting in the wings to take over on Inauguration Day. And I want them in the roles of the Avengers at their most heroic. Some of my picks:
[ul]
[li] Joe Biden as Captain America (assuming he’s the nominee, and they’re both pretty old)[/li][li] Michael Bloomberg as Iron Man (billionaire)[/li][li] Elizabeth Warren as Scarlet Witch[/li][li] Pete Buttigieg as Spiderman[/li][li] Cory Booker as Black Panther[/li][li] Amy Klobuchar as Black Widow[/li][li] Julian Castro as Hawkeye[/li][li] Bernie Sanders as Thor[/li][li] Andrew Yang as Star-Lord[/li][li] Kamala Harris as Captain Marvel[/li][li] Barack Obama as Hulk[/li][/ul]
