They can’t use the Avengers for a freakin comic book super hero movie! That belongs to Steed and Emma Peel!

I don't recall Steed being an arrow-slinging superhero. I do remember he had a derby that was deadly.

I can’t think of anyone who comes close to Diana Rigg’s combination of beauty, intelligence, ironic humor, and mysterious understated sexyness.
