You can bet that Joss knows his stuff. Sure, Wanda's description doesn't really sound on the spot, but that is in regards to the comic book character. The movie character has to be somewhat different. They can't have mutants in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Fox owns the X-Men rights; there are no characters in the MCU who were born with powers - these two need to have a different source for their powers that already makes them different from the characters we know. And, possibly, Wanda's magic may involve telekinesis or other stuff not necessarily matching the comic book counterpart.
(Then again, it could easily be a misquote as well.)

I've been loving most of Marvel's movies of the past years, and even a lot of the older movies. I actually liked Daredevil a lot and I liked X3 and Spidey 3 just fine. But I especially liked what they did with those MCU movies so far.
The only franchise I don't have a whole lot of faith in is Sony's Spider-Man. While I don't mind the occasional departure from comic book continuity (it's necessary all the time), there is some basic stuff that should remain intact and that especially goes for character personalities. And it's not that I think Andrew Garfield is a bad actor, but his Peter Parker is completely unrecognisable to me. As one example, I really hate how he walks into May's house covered in bruises and simply looks awkward, he doesn't even bother with an excuse like 'Oh I just got run over by the paper delivery boy, I'm so clumsy sometimes!'. While I do think Garfield's the better Spider-Man, I found Tobey McGuire to be the better Peter Parker, which is more important to me.
I didn't hate the first movie but overall I was severely underwhelmed. The trailer for the second one didn't look to promising to me either.

I really disliked Tobey as Peter, the movies were pretty good, but there was a lot wrong with them. They actually really made me dislike Mary Jane. I think Sony's movies are really good, both Peter and Gwen have been developed really well.

Joss I think has an idea, but I don't know where he's going with it. Wanda's description does sound a bit strange, and I think makes her sound like more of a mutant.

Fox has put out some good movies, and Marvel Studios has put out some fantastic works. Both have their flaws. X3 was a good movie, but I believe Singer would have made it way better had he stayed on. They made way to many mistakes in 3. Daredevil and Elektra were both kind of boring. But I do enjoy both the Fantastic Four movies.

I've heard more people having issues with Tobey McGuire, but I've always thought he was well cast as Peter Parker. The one thing I didn't like about the original triology was the lack of humor when he's active as Spider-Man. He doesn't crack a single joke when he's in the suit. That is something I feel they do much, much better with the reboot.
But every time I looked at Garfield (the actor, not the cat) I just couldn't think of him as Peter. The face isn't right, but more importantly, the things he says or does don't resemble Peter Parker's character at all.
I like the movie version of Gwen and the two of them look cute together, but it's never made clear whatever it is she sees in him, as he doesn't show any charm or wit.

I agree with you regarding X3. Many good things about it but it could have easily been better. And I have no idea why they suddenly went all Pokemon on us with the 'you're a level 5 mutant!' stuff when they never categorized mutant powers before.
I also certainly enjoyed the FF movies (I think Doom's portrayal is the main disappointing factor in those). Haven't seen Elektra but I personally liked Daredevil a lot, especially the director's cut, which adds a lot to the background storyline.

I think this might be a good place to put this. Jaimie Alexander will be appearing in an upcoming Agents of Shield. If you don't recognize the name she plays Lady Sif. Guess Marvel's been listening to the fact that people want characters from the comics.

He's releasing them every hour today :D

Okay, just giving my thoughts on every character

Sentinel - the giant vent is still bothering me, other then that, they look awesome, love the eyes
Havok - His face looks photoshopped xD, but yeah, little to say about him cause he's in military outfit
Toad - A bit of a new take, guess he's gonna play a bigger role, I like the goggles
Stryker looks pretty ok
Boliver trask - okkkaayy......
Mystique & Beast barely changed, but look awesome nonetheless
Quicksilver - a little femine, nothing wrong with that, but since Quicksilver's comic counterpart is all about his ego, I dont really know yet
Magneto - awesome, glad to see he's wearing the barely revealed armor in first class
Xavier & wolvie barely changed, but still awesome

Quicksilver just looks weird to me :/

You can go to Empireonline.com ( http://www.empireonline.com/xmen/ ) where they are releasing all the covers. I have seen that Blink's got released early somehow so you can see her on different sites, she looks pretty cool!

I am hoping they release a new trailer soon, since they just released that mini teaser.
