Michael Bay could learn a thing or two from Joss Whedon about how to deal with female characters.

He could learn a thing or two about good, viewable action as well. And how to make a film that isn't a turd. Etc. More

I thought the four leads were male. And then 1 of the next 3 (if you add Fury), female. And the male villain. With his male scientist sidekick.
That makes one secondary lead female out of 7 characters. I'm not really getting the rant, tbh. Are we adding Cobie Smulders to overpower the argument in favour of - well, still the multiple male leads that appear up front. More

I'm personally get pissed off with the constant use of strong female leads; that results in the male cast looking like whipped, useless dumb asses. (They say sexism is a two way door; is it?)
What happened to the good ol days of Predator when then men did all the work, and got their due for it? Hopefully Sly will bring those days back with Expendables 2.

Why not do something different for a change...what about the Civil War or World War Hulk? Avengers was ok but so much potential missed by pandering to fanboys with formulaic guff. Roll on Iron Man 3 as the second one was pretty dire too! Great characters but not sure multiples actually works. More

Wow! Somebody sounds like a dick!
Characterzation isn't a finite commodity that one character can hog - if the male characters look dumb its the writers fault.
Just as a random example watch The Police Story movies - especially Police Story 3 where Michelle Yeoh kicks ass and Jackie Chan is just as strong. or even 'His Girl Friday' Grant goes toe to toe with Russel in that battle of wits.

| RE: Why don't they just do ONE Marvel film true to type... |
I'm interested by all this Whedon love, because it felt to me like quite a machine-tooled Marvel film. I didn't feel like it had a great authorial voice or anything. It's really really good, don't get me wrong, but I can imagine it being exactly the same film if john Favreau had made it. Do you really think it's all about Whedon genius, rather than just really good planning and overseeing by Marvel studio? Even Whedon says it's "somebody else's film". More

I hate to dismount the bandwagon, i thoroughly enjoyed Avengers but i wanted a little more X2 depth and emotion.

Please direct the sequel, Mr Whedon. There's no rush, but if it has to happen, it has to be you at the helm.
I'm glad we won't see Wolverine in the Avengers- Fox isn't going to give up their mutant franchise, and even if they did there'd have to be some serious retooling to get the mutants into the Avengers universe (maybe something like Crisis on Infinite Earths, a bit of dimension splicing, but you know, not DC). Spider-man never seems like he's got a lot to do with the Avengers, he's alway More

I'm sure they'd have loved to include Spider-Man and Wolverine, but as Marvel doesn't own the cinematic rights to those characters, there was no way to have them as part of the team.
Personally, I'd like to see Frank Castle in the next one just to see how he and his personal ethos mingles with current batch of heroes. More

| Joss should do it!! |
Understandably, the pressure of having to create something so HUGE and sucessful is draining. Joss must be exhausted. Which is why I think he should do it... but give it a couple of years, recovery time :P
it's like Lord of the Rings. If Peter Jackson had directed the first one, and not the others, I really believe the trilogy would have been rubbish. Jackson and Whedon seem to have a distinct style that just works, and for the sequels to be cohesive they need to maintain that style.
