Which is not normally my way. Seriously.
Someone in my vicinity commented, "That's some good 3D."

All that 3D and IMAX money sure does add up. Joss Whedon, mainstream success?

So what does Joss do with his newfound cred? I'm guessing MUSICAL!

Also in the comics Thor's father is referred to as All-Seeing Odin and has various ways of finding out virtually anything. I don't have a problem with it being an Asgardian besides Thor who picked up on something being up with Loki.
ETA: I'm betting the Warner Bros. suits that eventually nixed Joss' Wonder Woman are going to be taking a good long look at their rationale as the box office on this movie climbs to the billion dollar mark. Start hitting the weights, Cobie!

No, because the suits are still going to say "A chick superhero film? I'm not seeing it."

I got the impression that part of the reason Wonder Woman was nixed was that Joss could never hit his groove with the script and that Joss himself said something along those lines. That is aside from the executives, Joss himself did not like what he came up with. Do I misremember?

Avengers was awesome! Mark Rufallo is my favorite Bruce Banner yet. So many wonderful one-liners.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Just came back from seeing Avengers. That was pretty fucking awesome. However: I am NOT OKAY with Agent Coulson being dead! WAHHH. I mean, of course it's totally in Joss' wheelhouse but he was my favourite, goddammit. I should have known what was coming when he was being all fanboyish and adorable with Captain America.
