Let me get this out of the way, for as much as I am a fan of Marvel, it's a sin I never read an Avengers comic. But I know enough to know about the team and here are my reasons Joss Whedon is gonna blow us away in little over a month (God the wait is killing me!!)
Filmography: When you look at Joss Whedon's filmography, sure he's more well known for alot of T.V shows but in reality he has done some successful films outside it. He's written the first Toy Story film (the best of the three, thought I would state the obvious), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Angel, ect. He's made some great shows and written some amazing films. But it's because of his writing ability and because he's also in the directors chair and when you look at his filmography that he will NOT let us down.
He has also been praised for the writing he did for the Astonishing X-Men. Hell, he's gotten awards for it. So you know that he knows how to make strong characters and he knows how to handle the Marvel Universe. Add on top of that the cast of actors as the Iconic heros, their great actors. Well, Samuel L. Jackson is amazing but that's besides the point. He knows his vision, he knows what he has to do to make an impact on the CBM's of today and truely deliver and not disappoint when bringing the first superhero team up on the big screen. I'll be honest I never really knew him until I realized 1: He wrote one of my favorite disney movies and 2: Well for a season or two he was in That 70's Show. Now I know it isn't alot but just look at his filmography for films and television. Plus look at his accolades for the work he has done, is not by any means Christopher Nolan. But there is no question that he is the man that is gonna make the fans' biggest dream come true as he treats us to Marvel's The Avengers.
Now, am I saying this movie will be the best of the year or the decade? No. Am I saying it's gonna be better than The Dark Knight Rises? No. But I feel this film has the potential from this one man, to be something that has not been seen in film and could be what the comicbook fan needs. Not a new hero on the big screen, but a new fresh take on some of the most beloved superheros of all time. But we won't know until May 4th.
AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!!!!
