Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

innerSpaceman · 05-07-2012, 08:30 PM

I didn't mean to be trolly. It's just that The Avengers seemed very by-the-book to me, and nothing about it seemed to have the stamp of anyone particular. Whedon's fans have always seemed to me to see something particularly Whedeonesque in his work - and I've seen the term "Whedonesque" bandied about in much of the press push for The Avengers. I just can't see what that is.

There was nothing in the film I wouldn't have expected from anyone else in the director's chair. I've heard it said the funny quips were very Whedon-ish ... but after two previous Iron Man movies, I hardly think funny quips were invented for The Avengers.

But I'm not a knowledgeable Whedon fan, and was simply inviting some input from anyone who happens to be.
