"Known fact?"  You mean "desperate nerd wish?"

I watched the show.  It made my eyes hurt.  Didn't help that, as I
said in another thread yesterday, that it's a banal ripoff of Outlaw
Star.  And again, I'm not otaku so that's not just a typical Asiaphile
argument.

Fact: The only feature film which Joss Whedon has directed made ~
$25m.  Thus he has NO track record for being a successful film
director.  Hence my concern for the Avengers film.

In any event, after seeing Thor this past weekend (discount theater) I
am very excited to see him and Iron Man interact on screen.  Nevermind
Cap!
