I think my favourite one was, you and I remember Istanbul very differently.
I really like that one as well
I think Whedon's dialogue was perfectly fine and in a lot of cases great with Avengers, especially with Stark because his character works will with the his writing style, that particular Black Widow line just feels uncharacteristic to me is all and that's what bothers me the most.

I do always chuckle in appreciation at Thor's line "I'm here to put an end to Loki's schemes!"
Because goddamn if that isn't the hammiest of hamfisted funnybook cartoon dialogue and Chris Hemsworth digs his heels in and just commits to it like hell.
I've been coming to the realization that the hammiest parts of that movie, the ones that are just literally a comic book without any adornment or adaptation or winking at the audience, are the best parts
Sometimes the best joke is the joke played straight
For what it's worth, I liked the "That doesn't look like a party" line. But I'm a fan of cheese, so whatever.
Anywho, here's an idea for a fun exercise. List the top 5 characters or concepts you want to see added to the MCU, whether in a movie or on a TV show. Anything that's already coming out, or is owned by Fox or Sony doesn't count. :P
5. Squirrel Girl or Stilt-Man (squirel girl might be owned by Fox, hence also listing Stilt-Man); played as straight as possible. I just want to see something so batshit looney that previously you could only pull it off in a comic book.
4. EMH-style Hulk where he's not mindless brute and can hold conversations and even snark on occasion.
3. A big team-up movie with Dr. Strange, Blade, Ghost Rider, & Man Thing who battle with lovecraftian horrors. After a Dr. Strange movie comes out, of course.
2. Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel. Bonus points if they include Mar-vell as a supporting character without overshadowing Carol.
1. M.O.D.O.K.: Big head, tiny body, designed only for killing. Make it happen, Marvel.
So, I personally really hope that character from Agents of SHIELD isn't Luke Cage.
Cause if you are going to do Luke Cage I'd prefer it on the silver-screen.
I would imagine that Luke Cage showing up would be partially to create a bigger fan base for the character and do a movie.
I think you could sell a Heroes for Hire film to the American film-going public.
"So a beefy ex-convict with unbreakable skin and a rich, young, handsome CEO whose superpower is 'I am the best at Kung Fu' team up and fight all manners of crime on the mean streets of New York, for hire."
Yeah, that seems like a pretty easy pill to swallow.

I don't mean to say they can't or even that they don't think they can.
But if your movie plans are locked in for the next four or so years but you know you want to get to a character after that and you've got a TV show premiering that, good or bad, is basically a guaranteed hit why not give him a bit of exposure?
Honestly, the one line in Avengers that rubs me the wrong way is right neat the beginning when Fury says "Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on."
I think that just by replacing "spin on" with "keep spinning" the line would sound so much more natural and less constructed.

I think I might agree with you if Nick Fury wern't saying it.

Well I'd rather have JAR become a famous actor so I'm pretty happy with this.

While I would love Luke and or Danny to get a movie I also think their characters would work very well on TV and would be fine if Marvel chose to pursue them in that format.

Ideally I'd love to see Michael Jai White portray Luke Cage. I mean Black Dynamite is basically his audition tape.
But a deep spot in my heart really wants to see what Terry Crews could do with the role.
I'm not sure that Luke Cage/Iron Fist showing up in a TV show format really means that they can't also show up in the movies.
I mean if they end up in Avengers 2, I doubt that, say, Tony Stark would be familiar with them, so their introduction to him would account for any confusion of audiences who hadn't watched the TV show before seeing the movie, and that's the only real concern I see stemming from introducing them on SHIELD.

Why would you ever put them in Avengers 2 without dedicating an entire film to themselves?

EDIT: Oh, wait, no. He was in Thor. But it wasn't a big role.

It's just an assumption I'm making based on the timing of the TV show and Avengers 2.
Trust me my friend, on desperately wanting a Heroes for Hire movie, we are agreed.

Basically I don't want them to half-ass Luke & Danny.
I want it to be huge and majestic and spectacular. And film works really well for that, exceedingly well.
I hope that they don't go too overboard with the Whedonesque dialogue. Not every character needs to commentate to the audience like that. Occasionally, those kinds of sentiments would be expressed better in body language and demeanor rather than in dialogue.

God yes it does.
I think the MCU is one of my favorite things to happen to movies in a long time.
Michael Jai White was my hope for Cage
Mustafa has the suaveness and worldly quality that I associate with Black Panther

Television? Eww....
TV has improved. It isn't complete shit.
Never said it was but television isn't suited for huge, amazing stories featuring extensive special features & famous actors.
Some others for television.
We call that a mini-series.
