17. Get Your Joss Whedon On
Joss Whedon is king of the nerds, and he has an extensive backlog of impressive feats in film, television and comics. While Agents Of SHIELD is still splitting audience opinion, it is his work on Firefly, Serenity and Buffy the Vampire Slayer that still has fans talking to this day. One of Whedons best qualities in his work is his ability to create a believable, unique universe and fill it with a foray of interestingly deep characters that fans gravitate to. No one could have predicted how big an icon Buffy would become, and its that very talent that made him a perfect choice to bring the Avengers together. Buffy is one of those shows you have to watch before you die, so why not start now? Whedons run as writer for Astonishing X-Men is still hailed to this day as one of the best in X-Men history, and even though theyre not a part of Marvels Cinematic Universe, its still worth a read simply for Kitty Pryde who became the focal point of the series. There are very few men who can write women as well as him, and its one of the reasons you can expect a lot from Scarlet Witch and Black Widow in Age of Ultron.
