Personally, I'm waiting on a Black Panther film. If they do a second Avengers, I'd love to see Black Panther in their ranks. I'm definitely seeing The Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers. When I heard the writer/director I grew up admiring (Joss Whedon) was set on the project, I was a happy bunny. I have a feeling this will kill; its going to be crazy during the summer. Yep yep! Yeah, Whedon was what turned me to the idea of an Avengers film. If anyone could handle it, I figured he's the guy. Loved Firefly and Serenity. I know right? Whatever the guy touches, I've always loved it. His fans appreciate his experimental projects like Dollhouse. Which should NOT have been canceled just MO. Firefly was WAY too short also. They coulda spun out more episodes because the stories were that great. Haha, I haven't met a guy as into that show as me. I was partial to his earlier work though. I'm a huge Buffy and Angel junkie and I LOVE to see what he's got in store for The Avengers. Buffy's pretty cool, but I only caught a bit of Dollhouse. Firefly was the same story then... it was supposed to last longer but Fox cancelled it. Certain things like the men with blue hands are kinda' evident of this. (Only find out what became of them in a comic.) He's got a great hold on handling various interactions between characters in a group. I guess that accounts for a lot of the confidence I have in him for The Avengers. I think Joss doesn't give up and I like that. He'd still make his stuff even if his shows aren't killing in the ratings. His fans love anything he puts out and what's great about him is that he used to interact with the fans at Comic Con when Buffy was in its prime. Buffy never cracked the top 20 nelson. But it was still a great, smart and sharp show. Way ahead of its time. I have a feeling people are going to know and respect this guy finally since he's paid his dues. Buffy was a fantastic series- great blend of horror and comedy, and the comedy was never over the top. I recently rewatched the episode 'Hush', The Gentlemen are still creepy. Hush still gives me nightmares. He actually wrote an entire episode without words. It almost felt like a silent film.

I liked Buffy, Angel and Firefly...but the only one I can watch repeats of is Firefly. Buffy never gets old for me. I lost interest in Angel after the first season. Firefly is great, as the movie Serenity. I craved Angel after Buffy got canceled. I think the cast of Firefly should come back, the fans would love it!

In an undersea battle, I do believe Aquaman would have the advantage. Sure. He could just stay away until Arm Fall Off Boy drowned and gloat afterwards.
