    The parallel to Aqua Man is Ant Man. Hank Pym and his wife Wasp are Avenger
    founders but was left out of the movies. Though there is talks of an
    Ant Man spy like movie directed by Edgar Wright. (2014)  Ant Man is often dismissed as unmarketable. But his other alias is Giant Man; a 60 ft tall man in the streets of New York.
    Seems marketable enough to me. In the Ultimate Universe he’s a
    struggling super hero trying to find his place among Captain America,
    Banner and Iron Man. He’s also a spousal abuser which could work if they
    wanted to go more adult. Which would be a great dynamic to add to the
    overly badass cast of the Avengers. (Plus him and Iron Man create Ultron
    which they could use as a villain — if they were crazy enough to do a
    3rd movie)

    As for waiting weeks for East Meets West. Just dig through the archives.
    Each episode starts with Tom apologizing for not doing EmW regularly
    then not apologizing and explain the premise of the show. I listened to
    one where Tom made a 5 year prediction on the HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray war in
    2006. Tom got it exactly right. The internet became ready  for HD
    streaming and hard disc sales declined. Roger in his usual
    pessimistic way thought that the internet wasn’t ready for Tom’s wild idea for another 10 years.

    I’m going to London tomorrow. Now I’m tempted to check out McDonald’s there!
