The Avengers

[certainthings]

I'm looking forward to this movie. Not as excited as some but some what yeee about it.

But. I don't know who they are.

Okay, I've seen Iron Man, Thor and Captain America. I've enjoyed them. I know the Hulk. But the others not so much.

What I mean is, I don't know the history of them, I never read the comics and what not.

I'm looking forward to seeing a good action flick.

But what I'm most excited about? Joss Whedon.

It fills me with stupid glee that Joss is involved. And yes, I'm aware that it'll be nothing like Buffy, Angel, Firefly or Dollhouse or any other thing that I might associate him with.

But still.

It's Joss.

And I love him.

He is talented. :)

But. I thought he was just directing the movie. Did he have a hand in writing it?

ps. Who is Black Widow and where does she come from?

She's a member of SHIELD. She's had a long and varied history within the comics, too. She appeared in the second Iron Man movie. Scarlett Johanssen played her. I can't remember a lot of details about her - since I haven't read her character in comic form in, like, seven or eight years - but here's a bio: http://marvel.com/universe/Black_Widow_%28Natasha_Romanova%29. I have no idea how much they've changed in the movie-verse, since they apparently cut some of her footage in IM2 that was supposed to have explained more about her.
