> [@DSeid](#): > > Pretty confident they will be kept in different universes of the multiverse almost completely with my suspicion being that any new XMen movies will be in one not yet seen. Now that would be a huge disappointment, IMO, and lead to a much worse fan backlash than Pietro’s recasting just being an Easter Egg. Getting X-Men into the MCU was a big deal. It would suck if they screwed it up by walling it off in its own side universe. ---

> [@k9bfriender](#): > > Really? I haven’t seen all of his work, but he was the only good part of “Knight’s Tale”, IMHO. I haven’t seen that movie since it’s release, so I can’t remember his performance. His first standout, “who is this guy?” role to me was as Silas in _The Da Vinci Code_. ---

Never seen the Dan Brown films, the names alone make my head hurt. The main role I remember him being serious in was “A Beautiful Mind” and even that had a reasonable amount of humor. But yeah, first time he showed up in Iron Man, I thought, “That’s Chaucer’s voice.” Even that seemed to have a fair amount of dry humor in it. ---

He was excellent as Maturin in _Master and Commander._ ---

Apart from his height and lack of ugliness, he nailed Maturin perfectly. ---

I confess, I struggled with the books, and don’t think I actually finished the one I started. Flashman was much more my speed. ---

I tried the first Flashman and stopped reading after a certain scene (if you remember the first one, you probably remember the scene I’m talking about). I was a big fan of the Patrick O’Brien books. ---

I certainly don’t want to derail this thread with an Aubrey/Maturin discussion and get it shut down again (though I hope a Sith Mod outranks a Journeymod 2nd class), but I’d really suggest giving them another try. Get at least to the part in Master & Commander with the cold roast baby. ---

> [@Maserschmidt](#): > > By the way, wasn’t there a throwaway line in episode 5 about "I know an aerospace engineer who could help "? I may be misremembering that, need to go back and watch it, but I can’t think of who that would be. Yeah, I was making a list of all the Marvel characters that might fit that description, but I think it was just a segue to acquiring a 1990s drone. ---

If you Google “_wandavision, ‘aerospace engineer’_”, you’ll find that the fan theories out there are legion. Sometimes thought-provoking, sometimes “no way!” One of the more out-there (but plausible) theories I’d read was that the ‘aerospace engineer’ could be the Skrull Talos’ daughter, who was seen playing Uno with young Monica in the _Captain Marvel_ film and had a little dialog. Per this theory, this re-introduces the Skrulls into the MCU in preparation for [the _Secret Invasion_ Disney+ series](https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/kevin-feige-why-secret-invasion-marvel-characters-debut-disney-plus#:~:text=Secret%20Invasion%2C%20as%20you%20may,by%20extension%2C%20the%20Earth%20itself.) already greenlit and in development. ---

X-men in Wanda’s world? Spidey fighting as an Avenger? C’mon, comic book heroes, stay in your lane! Spidey, you go to school and swing around and deal with your own villains. Daredevil, echolocate your way around Hell’s Kitchen, it fits you. Luke Cage, Iron Fist, same deal. You guys are Local Heroes. Sure, you might be tempted to have Claremont or Byrne lure you into a Shi’ar or Skrull spaceship, but you have a “Friendly Neighborhood” to defend. [/old comic reader rant] ---

**modnote** : You and everyone else drop this, it killed the last thread. You want to go in-depth with a back and forth on the sitcom premise go start a second thread. This discussion ends now. I probably should give you a warning Omni. **Actually I split this distraction off [to its own thread.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wandavision-first-2-episodes-and-sitcom-approach-ranting-for-omni/932607)** _This is just a guidance, not a warning.
