OT: 2012 - The Year of Joss Whedon (Marvel's Avengers, Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing", Whedon's "Cabin In The Woods") discussion thread
-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------=------------------------------------------
- CABIN IN THE WOODS
- Genre: Horror, Parody, Mindscrew.
- Studio:Lionsgate

- Writers: Drew Goddard, Joss Whedon
- Cast:
- Chris Hemsworth ... Curt Vaughan
- Fran Kranz ... Marty Mikalski
- Kristen Connolly ... Dana Polk
- Anna Hutchison ... Jules Louden
Story:
- A group of college kids go to spend a weekend in an abandoned cabin in the woods in the mountains. Bad stuff happens...
- You think you know how it goes? Well, think again...
Description:
- Bassically Joss Whedon inverts and mindfucks the whole horror genre. Considering it is written and directed by the man who is VERY aware of all the tropes and stereotypes that exist, I expect a lot of WTFERy and a lot of awesomeness. The trailer only supports that. The trailer? yes...

- THE AVENGERS
- Genre: Action, Drama, Superhero.
- Studio: Marvel Studios
-
Director: Joss "The Boss" Whedon
- Writers: Joss Whedon
- Chris Hemsworth ...Thor
- Robert Downey, Jr. ... Iron Man
- Chris Evans... Captain America
- Mark Ruffalo... Bruce Banner/Hulk
- Scarlet Johansson...Black Widow
Story:
- Building up from the previous superhero movies (Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk), The Avengers picks up as Thor's brother Loki returns to earth. Confused, both scared and angry, Loki stumbles upon something that will grant him incredible power...
- Meanwhile, SHIELD, being threated by the disappearance of the device of unknown power, Tesseract, assemble the team of superheroes, scourging the earth to locate them.
- As Loki's story and The Avengers clash head to head, the earth's fate will be revealed.
Description:
- Bassically Whedon is right at home there. he handled the huge casts of Buffy perfectly, giving everyone LIFE and IMPORTANCE and unique distinctive character and plot. He is also famous for his run as comic book writer in Astonishing X-Men. This can only be a major win.

- OVERALL, Whedon seems to be on the roll this year. all these comic books(buffy, YAY), talk about DR.Horrible's second season, AVENGERS, shakespeare's adpatation, that horror movie WIN.
- EVEN if everythign else will suck in 2012, It will still be THE BEST year purely because of this.
