Assemble!
7 May 2012
What are you still doing reading this? Go see the movie.
One thing I noticed about the movie that’s been missing from a lot of films lately — great dialogue. Dialogue is such an important part of character — it’s a show-don’t-tell way of fleshing out your characters that makes them instantly more relatable. The main characters all had their own distinct voices, which made their interactions so much fun to watch.
Also? Thanos.
So, yes. I did just do a quick blog entry to gush about how cool Avengers was. If you haven’t seen it, go. If you have seen it, what’d you think?
Also, this week: hugemongous contest announced for the Supercritical release. Stay tuned for that.

Tony Stark in the hands of Joss Whedon’s dialogue fun, was a thing to behold. The subtle things Ruffalo said and did as Banner made me like The Hulk again. I could watch the battle between Thor and Iron Man (with Cap joining in) over and over. What really got me, though, was the way Black Widow and Hawkeye were played. I don’t think “Hawkeye” is said once in the film, but there’s a scene where he mentions a hawk, and then something about having his eye on things. The way the dialogue and actions of Black Widow gets people to give her information. The whole thing was handled so damn well!
And hey, TWO things in the credits, including my favorite moment in film in years after the credits. Yeah, I had a blast checking the movie out!
One of my favorite features of any Joss Whedon production is the dialogue. Witty banter, sub-sub context, enough foreshadowing to leave tan lines, it’s all there. I swear, the man could transcribe the phone book & have me in stitches!
I loved it, and the dialogue was certainly a very compelling aspect of the movie. And was great to see Samuel Jackson engaged in some Nick Fury action. It certainly ranks up there with one of the best comic book movies ever, and all of the hype is dead on.
JW may have just rebooted the whole ‘comic 2 movie’ genre. He did for me at least. I had grown tired of most comic book movies recently but really wanted to see this because JW was involved and secondly I recall the vinegar and oil aspect of these super heroes from the 70s. He fully captured that.
