‘Marvel’s The Avengers’ – Do We Really Want A Sequel?
May 9, 2012 6:07 am Um....yes?
That is precisely like saying "That first issue of [INSERT ANY ISSUE 1 THAT WAS REMOTELY GOOD] was amazing. Let's not do a second one."
Way to widdle on the bonfire.
The argument of lesser sequels sullying the originals is always one I find obtuse. I'm fully capable of separating distinct works from each other. So The Matrix sequels weren't great... doesn't change how good the first one was.
I'm pleased that the world in general seems to love this movie - but that doesn't matter to me. What matters is that I loved it. When it all comes down to it, all a film has to appeal to is an audience of one.

Top 5: Phil Coulson Urban Legends, Confirmed or Debunked
May 2, 2012 7:33 am Additional Fact: Phil Coulson is the only one who could put Baby in the corner (since they're married 'n' all) but he never would, because he's such a thoroughly nice chap.

Devil’s Advocate: Is Joss Whedon Right For ‘Marvel’s The Avengers’?
May 2, 2012 6:29 am Just because he did a pass on it doesn't mean that a whole lot of it wound up in the final movie.

Devil’s Advocate: Is Joss Whedon Right For ‘Marvel’s The Avengers’?
May 2, 2012 6:14 am I'm not being snarky here - but where was the equivalent article for Kenneth Branagh on Thor? Jon Favreau on Iron Man? Joe Johnstone on Cap? Genuinely - please provide the links, because otherwise this seems like an attempt to sour people's opinions of a man. Playing Devil's Advocate with an argument of 'something he made didn't make a lot of money' is churlish. Does it matter to you one bit that this film is a box office smash, or that it's good?
As previously mentioned by others - the movie is already a commercial success, BECAUSE it's good. I've seen this twice now. I didn't go back because it was made by Joss Whedon, I went back because it's a good film.
As well written as this article is, it's out of date with an attitude veering into cynicism. That's not what I believe iFanboy to be.
