castiels-ass-butt-1967:

I went to Australia recently and while I was there I went to the Creating the Marvel Cinematic Universe at the Gallery of Modern Art. It was beautiful. This is a small portion of the photos I took. I have detail shots of each costume I took a photo of and I may post them in groups later. If you’d like to see more photos, please let me know ^.^

Interesting! This is probably the best look of the Age of Ultron Scarlet Witch costume I’ve seen. It really highlights how they tried to work Wanda’s classic “M” tiara into the design, both in the ornamental buckle and in the draping of the panels.

It’s also a bit jarring how kempt and stiff it is, compared to how her character was portrayed earlier. I think Civil War went in the right direction of keeping her with a bit of a looser, almost street wear style.

I’d love to see more if you have it!

My only real problem with ScarletVision is the age gap between Paul and Lizzie, if Vision was played by an actor closer to her age, I’d probably ship it wholeheartedly

I talked a bit about that here, and here.

Like I said in those, it’s a valid criticism and shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand, and I understand it making the ship too uncomfortable for you. It doesn’t concern me personally because:

1. As Vision, Bettany’s age is more an incident than anything. He was hired to voice JARVIS, and the plan wasn’t that he’d one day play Vision. That just kind of ended up working out, especially since Vision is touched up with CG head-to-toe.
2. While they could have cast Olsen older, Wanda starting off as a young woman is a very consistent–one might say integral–part of her character. I don’t think it would be worth it to go a very different direction with her very first depiction on screen just to make her a bit closer to Bettany’s age, especially since Whedon, Olsen, and Bettany have all said they didn’t know if the romance would end up panning out.
3. The character of Vision doesn’t have a quantifiable age, so there’s no realistically measurable age difference between the characters of Wanda and Vision.

But that’s just the way I see it. I don’t think you should make yourself try to enjoy what makes you uncomfortable, and you’re always free to enjoy some campy Silver & Bronze Age Wanda/Vision from the comics.
