Thurs Morning QB #2: Thank You Joss Whedon, for the Avengers. Seriously.

A Johnson — Wed, 16 May 2012 00:09:36 +0000

So, by now I’m assuming that EVERYONE has seen the film at least once, right?

And I hope you all appreciate and understand exactly what has happened: THE AVENGERS has had THE largest film opening. Not just for a Comic Book film, but for ALL films.

EVER.

This means that our little hobby, our pastime, our industry – this thing we’ve kinda always considered to be “underground” or “fringe” (whatever that means now) has just had the Biggest Film Opening Of All Time.

This past weekend, the film topped a Billion (yes, I capitalized it) dollars worldwide. And, it’s really just getting started and should have a healthy set of legs on it, too.

It’s impossible to speculate how much money this film is going to make for Disney/Marvel, but come July, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES will definitely have it’s work cut out for it. But it feels like if there was ever a film that might top THE AVENGERS this summer, then a Christopher Nolan-Batman film could/would/should be it then, right..?

Now, for a Comic Book (or other) film to make this kind of money, it means that basically everyone saw it. Not just comic book readers, but everyone. In the world. And they are down with Comic Book Culture, if you couldn’t tell. Our hobby is about as mainstream as it gets now with 3 films each summer and cartoons every Saturday. It’s all become a little surreal.

It’s almost like we’re all living in a Jonathan-Hickman-penned-reality or something. Where our Joss Whedon did something none of the other Joss Whedons spread out across the multiverse could ever do: he made the perfect AVENGERS movie.

Seriously, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this film – at all.

I have never been so happy with a Marvel film in my life (and I am typically very hard when it comes to comic book movies – it’s a problem, I know). In this film, there is never a dull moment, the dialogue is sharp, the jokes are great; the action, relentless. Everyone is well apportioned - No one gets to run away with the picture or chew up any extra scenery (although you do want The Hulk to once he shows up..).

(Disclosure: I never did much like the previous two HULK movies. Sure there are a few cool scenes in both, but I wasn’t really thrilled with either one of them. The Hulk is never a problem in this film. My favourites, in order are: The Avengers [duh!], Iron Man I, Captain America I, Thor I, Iron Man II and NO Hulks. Sorry.)

Whedon is apparently one of us – a comic book fan. He got it big time and it was an absolute joy to see – it’s a shame that he did not get to do that Wonder Woman film, in hindsight. He might’ve torn that one up, too (as the internet has suggested a lot this past week).

I think he did such a great job with The Avengers that Marvel should automatically hire him on to at least write ALL of the upcoming Marvel movies. And direct Avengers 2: Electric Bugaloo (of course). Just make him the Big Boss to oversee all future films, please.

I remember thinking when we saw The Dark Knight a few years back that we had seen the Comic Book Movie evolve right before our eyes. It was awesome.

I think we just saw the game upped again..

Thank you for that, Joss Whedon. Seriously.
