the tyranny of the masses

I saw an article talking about Whedon's choice to step away from Avengers after AoU and I'm super disappointed?

Like, the second Thanos showed up in the Avengers mid-credits scene, I wanted the Infinity Gauntlet arc for the MCU so badly, because, holy shit, Infinity Gauntlet as done by Joss Whedon. I'm so there fore that. Now he's not doing and it ( Read more... )

Do you think there is any chance they WON'T do the Infinity Gauntlet arc? (not to say that no having joss on board isn't a loss - it's a huge one, on several levels, imho.)

I do at some point want to have a huge essayish thing, either here or on tumblr, describing my feelings of love for Winter Soldier as a movie but my intense loathing for the fandom that followed it

Oh, god, please do this. Because I know you know I have my problems with the post-WS fandom and the ways in which FANDOM FAILED ME but I am super-interested in what your big problems with the fandom are.

No, but also yes. I don't think there's a chance they won't do something with the Infinity Gauntlet because they've already invested so much in setting it up. Multiple infinity stones spread across multiple movies, building Thanos up as the big bad, introducing Nebula (who has a role that is almost as important as Thanos' I would argue). HOWEVER, I think it will be an interpretation of that story that is appropriate for the world as the MCU has established it, instead of the early 90s comics trippy shitshow the book is. So I think we're philosophically getting it for sure, but there are going to be a lot of fundamental changes that will slot it into the MCU more effectively than it sounds like it would when first looking it over. Like how we're getting Civil War, but we're getting a DIFFERENT Civil War, if that makes sense ( ... )

That totally makes sense. As do comments that the villain of that arc is going to be the NSA - there is no way they'd commit to having Tony be as in-the-wrong as the actual comics do.
