However good their movies are, I still can't forgive Marvel for stealing Whedon away from working on his own things.

- wiremine 12y agoTrue. On the other hand, hopefully this gives him the financial freedom to work on more of this own things in the future.
- talmand 12y agoWhat do you mean his own things? Avengers is an example of his own thing, yet with established characters. Avengers is a classic example of Whedon's strengths as a creator. He's always been good with ensemble casts. If you're meaning his own characters, there is that. But from now on he can likely do whatever he feels like. I hope he decides to tell a new story with new characters in the Buffy universe.
- pferde 12y agoSure, you are right to some extent wrt Avengers, but his hands are still tied by Marvel - there are other people in charge of "big picture", so he can't do anything he wants there.
- talmand 12y agoSure, he's obligated to maintain certain things to go along with the overall storyline that's being told in the cinematic universe. But it could easily be said he has to follow guidelines about any project he would work on that has studios with other people in charge involved. Unless he wishes to fully fund the project himself.
