The median consensus is that AoU is a GREAT film and a win for Whedon

So, this article has been discussed here ...

http://avwire.com/2015/06/10/avenging-mr-whedon-an-analysis-of-the-backlash-following-the-release-of-age-of-ultron/

but this line trumps all other talk...

"Overall the median consensus is that it was a great film and a win for Whedon."

That is the line that matters most in that article. Giving voice or even taking time to answer the intended over-exaggerations revolving around the Prima Nocta joke or the ridiculous assertions surrounding Black Widow's origin is absurd to say the least.

"These two 'offenses' ruffled feathers so much that people almost literally dusted off their pitchforks and lit up torches."

No one who wasn't already an intended troll and hater cared one bit. They used these two topics as an excuse to try and bash an exceptional sequel. These were simply fans of other franchises and anti-Marvel people looking for a way to lash out at their perceived "arch-enemy." If Whedon had wrote the same exact things in to a Serenity 2, not one peep would have been heard. End of story.

A better point is that Avengers being the big boy on the block is drawing the same type of jealous backlash on different fronts. These boards illustrate it very well. When you're the best and deliver quality, envy and bitter behavior keeps calling. That's life at the top.

Bottom line is...

"Did that movie just change your life? It changed my life. We all saw AoU and it was great."

Type in just about any search review and true reaction has been and always will be that AoU is a well received great film.

Was Lee Mall one of the ones who took to Twitter to bully Joss over these things?

OOM POM PAH OOM POM PAH thats how it goes...

[–] blackdoug 9 years ago

No one bullied Joss Whedon. He just got fed up with Twitter in general.

Bryce Dallas Howard just said this...

"Those movies are so fantastic, because talk about just these incredibly drawn characters! That’s the joy of the comics, is that you fall in love with these characters and it’s who they are that carries you from journey to journey to journey... it’s not just about set pieces. It’s really about who these people are, and so, yes, I just would love to be in a Marvel film."

That is consensus thoughts on Marvel in general!

Joss Whedon simply doesn't know how to make a bad movie. It's that simple.

[–] blackdoug 9 years ago

It's just more proof that no amount of fake bashing can effect a good film or keep true perception down.

Seeing a true team of Avengers in action is as great as I would ever have hoped! Sure seeing them come together and do brief battle against the Chitauri in the first film was great but here, they are a fully formed team. This is the movie true fans have been waiting to see all their lives. Who would’ve thought years ago that ALL these characters could fit in to a film and all of them be done justice? It delivers greatness from scene one and has to be considered the best this genre has EVER produced. Truthfully, as good as some of the previous work has been from every studio, nothing else has come close. That’s not hyperbole; I really think most will agree if they see it with an open mind. This is probably the best sequel the genre has ever seen. As good as movies like Spider-Man 2 and Captain America The Winter Soldier are, they just can’t compete with the scope and magnitude of this movie. I loved this film’s depth, heart, humor, gravitas, action, performances, emotion and payoff.

Contestants take turns playing game. Person NOT hit in the face with whipped cream wins first place. Order of splat gets remaining payouts.

Ultron came within a hair of wiping out all life on earth. How is that not threatening?

Joss is still taking bows for his stellar Avenger work. In SD, he was king of the Con and he wasn't even there promoting anything.

Disney needs to fight the cord-cutting epidemic through partnerships to make ESPN convenient.
