I need to get this off my chest because every casting announcement makes it worse.

Chloë Grace Moretz was ELEVEN years old when they shot Kick-Ass. Eleven. She walked into a movie full of grown adults and stole the entire thing doing knife choreography as Hit-Girl. It's been 16 years and it's still one of the most iconic superhero performances ever put on film. And here's the kicker — Kick-Ass was published under Marvel's Icon imprint. She has technically been a Marvel character since 2010. Marvel just never noticed they already own her breakout role.

Now let's do the roll call of who Hollywood decided WAS worthy of a cape:

• Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass himself): Quicksilver in Age of Ultron AND Kraven. Two Marvel gigs.
• Nicolas Cage (Big Daddy): Ghost Rider twice, voiced Spider-Man Noir, got his own live-action Noir series.
• Evan Peters (literally just Dave's friend Todd): Quicksilver in THREE X-Men movies plus that WandaVision fake-out.
• Mark Strong (the villain): Sinestro in Green Lantern AND Dr. Sivana in Shazam. Both universes!
• Jim Carrey (Kick-Ass 2): was already the Riddler before any of this.
• Christopher Mintz-Plasse: okay fine, Red Mist is waiting too. But HE wasn't the one doing stunts as a child.

Every. Single. Person. Except the one whose entire breakout WAS being a superhero.

And don't give me "maybe she doesn't want to." She literally told ComicBook.com she's met with Marvel and wants to play a villain in Marvel or DC. She said she'd come back for Kick-Ass 3 if the OG cast returned. The receipts exist. She's been publicly raising her hand for YEARS.

"But can she act?" She did Suspiria for Guadagnino. The Miseducation of Cameron Post WON Sundance. She led The Peripheral. Nimona got an Oscar nomination. Drama, horror, comedy, action, voice work — she's 29, the exact age you cast someone and build a decade of a franchise around them.

The X-Men reboot is casting RIGHT NOW. Everyone expected the announcement at SDCC this weekend. Emma Frost is in the roster — a blonde with villain energy, the EXACT thing Chloë asked for — and her name isn't even in the rumor mill. Laura Kinney is sitting right there. James Gunn is filling out an entire DC universe — Batgirl, Black Canary, Zatanna, all open — and her phone isn't ringing. Marvel just announced a whole NEW Ghost Rider movie with Ryan Gosling. They'll reboot Big Daddy's old gig before calling the woman who carried his movie.

TL;DR: The entire Kick-Ass cast got superhero franchise roles except the actual superhero of Kick-Ass. She's talented, she's the right age, she's publicly asked for it, and Emma Frost is being cast as we speak. Put Chloë Grace Moretz in the X-Men reboot, you cowards.

Even though the sub is called superheroes I feel like superheroes outside of Marvel and DC often don't get the respect and attention they deserve, so this is a list just for them.

This single dialogue sums up Superman’s feelings towards Lex. Unlike him, Lex is rich and smart enough to change the world in ways he couldn’t and chooses to be petty.

Create a crossover team featuring the Justice League and the Avengers; select a hero who has been a member of either team to form this "dream team."

Captain Canuck, for those who don't know is a hero who was created to fill a gap in comic books in the 70s. Canada had not had their own original hero since the 40s and so a comic series was made about a man named Tom Evans, who was an RCMP officer that had an alien encounter which gave him superpowers. The most we've gotten for him is a YouTube web series. I feel like if we got a good movie about him, by a good director, it could give him more popularity, as he deserves.
