Also, with regards to Whedon, you guys know he wrote two years worth of Avengers comics, right?

Posted by David (aka David) Apr 30 '12, 13:51

This isn't a director off the street being introduced to characters. He'd already made them his own, which is why Maria Hill is in this, I'm sure.

Responses:

I didn't know this. (I expect that most people who aren't fans of Whedon or Marvel know this either) -- nm - Roger More Apr 30, 14:05 6
- if they watch any kind of press for it this week, they'll know as it will be brought up over and over -- nm - Remlik Apr 30, 14:14
- Then I 'm curious. Does that change your perception about these not being Whedon characters? -- nm - David Apr 30, 14:06 4
  - No, not really. Marvel established the characters and has worked with them for 40 years. If Whedon is comfortable with them and has a history with - Roger More Apr 30, 14:16 3
    - They're more Whedon's than some random director just as Campbell has a better claim to Bond than someone who hasn't directed a movie in the franchise. -- nm - David Apr 30, 14:21 1
      - A more prestigious example then - I wouldn't say Hamlet is a Laurence Olivier character. - Roger More Apr 30, 14:30
    - I agre BUT - I am going in expecting some JW flavor to them. -- nm - Capstern Apr 30, 14:21
And he is just so good with CHARACTERS (Buffy/Firefly) -- nm - Capstern Apr 30, 13:57 2
- I'm confused, my sarcasm detector is going off, but I'm not sure why. -- nm - Ender Apr 30, 13:58 1
  - Not sarcastic. I found his ability to make characters - characters great. He does humor without being stupid IMO - Capstern Apr 30, 14:00
uh...X-men there David -- nm - Remlik Apr 30, 13:54 15
- Same diff. - David Apr 30, 13:56 14
  - heh I know. -- nm - Remlik Apr 30, 14:00 13
    - Rem I didnt see but I assume you are excited to see this? I am not sure the last movie I looked forward to this much -- nm - Capstern Apr 30, 14:03 12
      - sawit. Best Super Hero movie ever. from top to bottom. - Remlik Apr 30, 14:04 11
        
        Now more excited....asking (spolierish) - Capstern Apr 30, 14:06 10
        
        they're assuming you know the backstory of the characters who've had movies. -- nm - Remlik Apr 30, 14:13 5
        
        just curious, how necessary is it to have seen the prior movies? - znufrii Apr 30, 14:16 4
        
        I would bet none. Do you understand the nature of super hero vs supervillian...probably covers is -- nm - Capstern Apr 30, 14:22
        
        I think if you haven't seen them you will be fine. Will you get more out of it if you do? yes - Remlik Apr 30, 14:20
        
        Thor is a crazy, drunken demigod. Captain America is a WW2 hero displaced in time to the 21st century. - David Apr 30, 14:18
        
        yeah, it helps to know a bit of the back story, but in no means is it necessary IMO. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 30, 14:17
        
        well (spoils) - groiny Apr 30, 14:08 3
        
        Well i asked because about 2 months or more ago - someone on here was arguing that (spoils) - Capstern Apr 30, 14:14 2
        
        that was my concern before I saw it. - groiny Apr 30, 14:16 1
        
        How did you see it already? Thought it was you wasnt sure -- nm - Capstern Apr 30, 14:23
This is a cut and paste from his wiki page: - David Apr 30, 13:53 1
- My favorite cover.... -- (link) - Capstern Apr 30, 14:04
and as a special guest appearance as Antman..... - peglegpete Apr 30, 13:53 1
- I have always found Pym to be an insufferable ass - especially the Ultimates version. I am enjoying Avengers EMH cartoon tho -- nm - Capstern Apr 30, 13:58
