One way to get your kids to eat their veggies is to show them this "Sesame Street" Avengers: Age of Ultron parody. In "Aveggies: Age of Bon Bon," Onion Man, Captain Americauliflower, Dr. Brownie, Black Bean Widow, Mighty Corn, and Zuchin-eye help to defeat the evil Bon Bon and keep him from ruining the healthy veggies on this planet.

Seeing Cookie Monster turn into a big, green Hulk and having him bust on Zuchin-eye (Yes, he does do something!) were some highlights.

So, enjoy it yourself or share it with your kids and then eat your veggies. Oh and check out Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron this weekend. It opens on May 1.

Whedon Says 'No More Hexes' for Scarlet Witch

Today, CBR Trailers posted a new short with Avengers: Age of Ultron director, Joss Whedon, talking about his two new featured characters, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. In it, Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Quicksilver) and Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch) talk briefly about their characters and how they relate to each other. There are some spoilers regarding the twins' roles in moving the plot forward, so viewer beware.

During his interview, Whedon confirms that Scarlet Witch's powers do not use hexes that bend reality to her will. Rather, she will be using telekinesis and some sort of fear-based psi power. Could this be an adjustment to the universe altering power Wanda Maximoff has in the comic book universe so that one hero isn't completely overpowered, eventually making Thanos that much more of a threat? Will the coming Civil War be sparked by fears brought out by Scarlet Witch? And, the big question, where do their powers come from? Are they magical (hellooooooo Dr. Strange!) or derived from an alien race, such as the Kree (hellooooooo Inhumans!) Only Whedon and the MCU powers that be can provide answers. Certainly, you won't be seeing completely world altering consequences from three whispered words in the MCU, thankfully. At least, not from the Scarlet Witch.

Special Look at "Avengers: Age of Ultron" Arrives

I've got no strings To hold me down To make me fret, or make me frown I had strings But now I'm free...

If you're a Marvel fan, Tuesday, October 28 may as well have been your Christmas. After the huge Phase 3 announcement earlier in the day, a new special look at "Avengers: Age of Ultron" arrived during ABC's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Take that Hydra!

This new look starts off pretty light and funny when Thor challenges his cronies to lift Mjolnir. Then it turns ominous with the arrival of Ultron and a song from an old Disney film (nicely played) creepily playing in the background.

After the synopsis, check out the two and a half new minutes of awesome. The film opens on May1, 2015.
