10 Simple Ways Joss Whedon Could Screw Up Avengers: Age Of Ultron
In Whedon we trust, right?
When Joss Whedon was officially announced as the director of Marvel's The Avengers at the San Diego Comic Con in 2010, every true fan of the Marvel U took a great sigh of relief as the destiny of our beloved characters was in good hands. As not only a bonafide member of fan boy royalty, but a third generation Hollywood screenwriter and one of the most respected creative minds in the game, Joss Whedon was about as perfect a choice to helm the climax of Phase One as humanly possible. And the end result speaks for itself. It came as no surprise when he was announced as the director for the Avengers' sequel, and as the commander-in-chief of Phase Two it looks like the next slate of Marvel movies leading to The Avengers: Age of Ultron will be the most cohesive unit yet. In Whedon we trust, right? I mean, this is not only the man who brought The Avengers to life, but the person who introduced the world to Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Eliza Dushku for crying out loud! But even for someone as talented, thoughtful and respected as Joss Whedon making Avengers 2 work is actually going to be a lot harder than the first time out. Expectations are high, from both the general public and the realm of the fanboy alike, and making a huge, tent-pole cross-franchise blockbuster work is hard enough to do once making lightning strike twice is something else all together. If anyone can pull it off it's definitely Joss Whedon as the man is no stranger to serial storytelling in film, television and even comic books I mean, have you read his Astonishing X-Men? It's fricking perfect! If you haven't, stop reading this right now and find every issue you can. But even for the man and mind behind Mutant Enemy there are very important issues to consider that could easily hurt - or dare I say even ruin - The Avengers: Age of Ultron if not attended to. "Like what?" you ask? well, how about...
