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.

Ahh thanks for the tip! I will do my best to see it before The Avengers comes out. (And hopefully some of the others, as well!)

The only one I'm not sure if you should bother with is The Hulk. I know it's considered the canon for the movie-verse version of the character, but after all of the casting shake-ups - Ruffalo in for Norton - it's hard to say if they'll reference that one much, if at all. Then again, Hulk's pretty iconic. Probably the most iconic on that team, rivaling Cap in recognizability with a non-comics fan, so most folks have a good idea of how Hulk came to be.

Good to know! I wanna see that one eventually because I love Edward Norton, but perhaps I'll wait til after The Avengers for that one if I don't end up having time.

It was a great movie. The best Hulk adaptation. Edward Norton was amazing. But he always is. He's my second favorite actor. :)

Awesome! He's definitely one of my very favorites, too. :)
