Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

[innerSpaceman]

I'm wondering what was Whedonesque about The Avengers (or what elements had "Joss-iness"). My Whedon exposure has been limited to Firefly and Cabin in the Woods, so maybe I'm not familiar with his signature style. I couldn't discern any particular style in The Avengers.

Perhaps you should watch the Buffy series. Or Angel. Or (if you don't want to spend 100+ hours), Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.

I totally get that you didn't like the movie. Maybe I identify with you a little being one of the few people offended by Star Trek (and incensed that nobody else saw it like I did). But your question seems a little troll-y. If you're honestly asking for stylistic parallels between Firefly and The Avengers, I apologize for my reaction - when The Avengers comes out on Blu-ray (with 30 minutes of deleted scenes) we can watch it together and I'll show you why it's good (and Whedonesque). Like we did with Star Trek.
