Whedon has a good sense of story structure and pacing. His dialogue has gotten bad over the years. If he stays as a story architect that would be good.
And why are you guys calling it the Avengers trilogy? The Avengers movies are end-caps for phases. They were never going to be handled like a proper three and done type of series.

It's Joss's gift to the world.
And you're able to deduce that from just one line of dialogue from each character?
How about watching the entire film before making judgment on the accents.
And David Fincher directed the third, so what's your point?
I've been treating Avengers as each phase's "season finale."

lol but-t-t-t his script was ruined by that idiot hack Jean-Pierre Jeunet.
Stop pretending that's what my posts and the others said, last year people were talking crap about rocket even with the examples you mentioned already Stablished.
But, oh no, a A tree and a raccoon were so ridiculous, they would destroy the MCU. And now a generic robot is here to finish the job!
A robot is never going to be an icon, right Star Wars?
In the end, the "Marvel fatigue" argument is dumb, its exactly the same as the "Nintendo fatigue" argument that plagues the gaming side.
They're popular brands, they sell on name only at this point.

True enough, but the Infinity War movies are part of a whole, and things will definitely be very different in the MCU after Infinity War. So thematically at least, it's a trilogy.
(And Ant-Man are Inhumans are actually the end caps for 2 and 3...)
I've seen the first one so I'll get around to the second.
Is the third one so bad that we don't speak of it?

Just go watch them all. Then go see who wrote the worst of the four.
No, it would only ruin the argument they're trying to make.
FYI, Joss also helped write the screenplay to the first Toy Story.

third isn't very good but it's worth a watch. i mentioned it though because the fourth is when joss whedon wrote the script.
honestly though watch the whole series and formulate your own opinion, the first two are sci-fi classics. maybe you'll like the other two, but imo the fourth is pretty indicative that whedon isn't...infallible.

I really wonder exactly how Inhumans is supposed to serve in that role. I can kinda see it with Ant-Man but I wonder how exactly Inhumans is supposed to cap off what happens in Infinity War?
Unless it's actually cribbing a plot point from the Hickman comic and Thanos' arrival on Earth indirectly leads to widespread Inhuman awakenings?
Fair enough, should I rewatch the first movie as well?
No one has argued that Whedon is infallible. Christ, you haters are fucking annoying. Let's all pretend that the only reason Alien Resurrection sucked was because Whedon wrote it. Yup. That's reasonable. Fuckin aye.

A new team, a new method of introducing superheroes. I see it more than for Ant-Man honestly.

dude just said his scripts are god's gift to directors. a dude offers a counterpoint and you get angry lol calm the hell down. it's like god damn impossible to discuss films in comic book movie threads without this 'drawing-the-line' shit.

Some people sound way too angry about superhero movies
Eh, I'll check out the other Alien movies to see your point regardless. Where can I get the other 3 films?
I thought we'd learned to ignore neoxon on these issues.
I actually performed in a Joss Whedon-written musical & was in contact with the director, so I actually have a reference point for this. The Alien movies thing was unknown to me until now.

lmao, i dunno man. best buy or amazon.com or some shit. neoxon you're killing me
Shit, didn't Dollhouse teach us that. 'Did I fall asleep?' wasn't just a bit of recurring dialogue in show, it was what I'd ask after I passed out through sheer boredom.
I still think it's downright bizarre that Serenity is a better constructed film than The Avengers, with a harder task of reintroducing characters and backstories and mythology from a failed TV show and trying to sell them to a brand new audience... and somehow pulling it off.
For a second I thought it was rare as shit (too many bad experiences with not pre-ordering).

brah delete that. i already mentioned it, we should move past this and be glad this guy is gonna finally watch aliens.
For the record, I wasn't the one who argued against my quote, I'm just more familiar with Joss' work on Buffy & Firefly.
Again, I've seen the first movie before, but thanks regardless.
i don't want to watch the clips because it seems to me they're releasing way too much footage pre release, so i can't really comment on the snarky attitudes provided there, but i'll say i enjoyed them in the first Avengers, but it probably helps that i'm not familiar with Whedon's catalog outside of it lol
seriously though, what the hell, leave some stuff for the theater marvel

To be fair, Jeunett inhability to direct the cast without a translator and Weaver's constant demands (I read somewhere that the alien lesbian hug scene was entirely her idea) were the main reason resurrection failed hard.
Whedon's script was bad, but I could red it working its way into "fun film" with real direction, it would still be a disgrace compared to the classics, but not a trainwreck with no redeemable qualities

I liked the clip posted a few pages back - Natasha interacting with Hulk in the forest (also shows his Hulk-to-Bruce transformation). Didn't see much discussion on it.

"Fun is just a buzzword used when you can't think of why something is actually good."
The fact that there's no shadows coming from Hulk on the tree behind him bothers me. Plus some of the Hulk CGI looks weird.
Props for the transformation effects, though.

I really enjoyed the first movie, and not sure why but I'm not hyped for this at all.
I'm randomly googling sites, seems like still ILM with its Muse tech.
Technically they're from the Republic of Fictsoviestan but yeah
