When you see these characters like Captain America or Thor, laughing at their own situation or about how strange they are, then you are able to accept more readily that it's fine to wear a cape. You can also accept that it's fine to be enormous and green, or to shoot arrows at aliens racing through the sky. It all makes sense if you've been able to laugh at it and with it.
Joss WhedonI tend to tell stories that have a lot of momentum; it's not like 'and then months later...' I like things where the momentum of one action rolls into the next one so everything is the sum of that.
Joss WhedonCome a day there wonโt be room for naughty men like us to slip about at all. This job goes south, there well may not be another. So here is us, on the raggedy edge. Donโt push me, and I wonโt push you. Dong le ma?
