I went yay Cassie too! :-) And I liked the twins -- like you, I don't much like comics Pietro and this was a much more interesting version. And Wanda was 80% good -- the lost 20% is for Elizabeth Olsen's attempt at an Eastern European accent, which wandered all over the place and really distracted me.
And I am with you 100% on yet another imaginary country. I swear I'm going to invent a US state for a fic one of these days.
I LOVE CASSIE SO MUCH OMG /obligatory Cassie icon is obligatory
Comics Pietro is a trainwreck, but now that I think about it, he's the only incaranation of Pietro I don't like. (I suspect this is because none of the other versions have ever manipulate their sister into a having a reality-warping mental breakdown. I may be slightly bitter that everyone is blaming Wanda for House of M and not Pietro.)
I am (un?)fortunate enough to have a tin ear for accents -- to the point where some accents just do not register for me (I literally do not hear them) -- so her accent didn't bother me. I can see that it would bother other people, though.
Appalachia is totally an US state, right? The governor is Squirrel Girl!
Cassie is fabulous. So good to see her in the film :-) If Appalachia isn't a state, it should be. And definitely led by Squirrel Girl! And absolutely on House of M. Pietro gets away with all sorts of rubbish, while writers pile on Wanda. (And on most of the other female characters.)

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that the idea of Squirrel Girl as an US senator goes to minutia-r.
I am forever amazed/appaled with how much Pietro gets away with. (Somewhere inside me lurks a post on Wanda Maximoff and House of M.)

I am sorry but Sam Guthrie is clearly the governor of the state of Appalachia. :)

Can Squirrel Girl be Empress of San Fransisco, in that case?
