It's been a long time coming for Whedon to get a shot at a blockbuster movie.

Me, I just want to kiss whoever decided to give him a shot at commenting on the original script (that's how this all started, a 3-4 page memo written by Whedon and sent to someone at Marvel Studios) and then had the balls to let him scrap everything, do a massive re-write, and then direct the entire shebang. Guys with his kind of talent who are also massive comic book fans are a real rarity. His love for the characters is apparent throughout the movie. He knew exactly what an Avengers movie should be.

wow, I didn't know that backstory. That's awesome.

Yep, that's what I heard on a podcast a month or two ago. Pretty fantastic story.
