Well, when someone makes you 1.4 *Sagan*BEE-LEE-YUN*/Sagan* dollars in one movie.
Well, you don't **** where you live.

Or the hawt guys if your preferences lean in that direction.
At least Whedon has experience with superpowered teenagers if it comes to that.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

I mean the man made them a BILLION dollars for being a kickass director that knew how to put together a great superhero film. I belive that a sequal and a tv show is the least dis can do

He made them the money, he gets to do whatever the pancake he wants on a tv show. Noone's going to seriously question him when he makes the highest grossing film of all time with only his second or third feature.

That's not to say I expect the next Avengers pojects from him to totally suck. I'm just saying if he wanted to shoehorn a "@#$@!#$!@!$@% can't-act-can't-figure-out-emotion-emoish @#$@#$@# kid/teenager/twenty something" into whatever he does next then I'm sure it's going to happen. In fact I fully expect to see some kind of Buffy/Fray/River/Echo clone in some form or fashion.

My point is that he didn't just suddenly make a billion-dollar movie out of the blue on his first movie job - his whole decades-long career has been leading him towards this achievement.

Oh lord! We need a guest star by Hugh Jackman just so we can see Bruiser toss him through a couple walls.
Hell, I'd pay money to go to a theater and see a 5 minute short of that!

I have this awesome idea that Joss could lift from a comic book and turn into a series.
It's kind of like cowboys in space...
Great Wall of Prophecy, reveal to us God's will that we may blindly obey.
Free us from thought and responsibility
We shall read things off of you.
Then do them
Your words guide us.
We're dumb
I was hoping Joss would do a Black Widow solo movie...
I really should do something about this signature.

Cos I think that's been done already
Lets be honest, Joss Whedon is rarely anything other than exceptional! Even the worst episodes of Buffy and Angel far surpass the vast majority of TV out there!
I'm stoked and can't wait to see what he comes up with
We built this city on Rock and Roll!

Eh, we'll see where this goes. He earned a lot of credit with me with the first Avengers movie, but that didn't really give him enough time to slip into his bad habits. He tends to do phenomonal early on, then start slipping the longer it goes.
BUT! At this point he's earned a few slips. So no real worries I suppose.

Is it bad that I've never considered Linda Carter as WW all that attractive? She's kind of mannish.

No it's okay not to be a fan of Linda Carter as WW. But us old fart WW fans didn't have much of a selection to choose from. It was Linda or Cathy Lee Crosby.|

Even if you weren't a Linda Carter fan you at least recognized who she was supposed to be.
A man can dream, right?

Mannish? She has more curves than any of those others.
And Megan Fox? Ugggggh!!!

Too bad Megan has already pretty much nixed the idea and said something to the effect that she didn't identify with the character at all.

That's because she's a sex robot.
It wouldn't be a *good* movie, don't get the wrong idea, but I'd still watch it. Muted, preferably.

I am so surprised.
Also creating a Marvel-based series for ABC...
It's a trap Joss!
