"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!
