Someone said this to me today, after a third person asked the two of us to compare Avengers to Dark Knight, and I 100% agree with what he said:

The Dark Knight is the best film so far based on a comic book character, but The Avengers is the best comic book movie to date.

Also, I've decided that Joss Whedon must write all Tony Stark dialogue from now on.

"Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?" ... "That man is playing Galaga!" ... "Phil? His first name is Agent."

All gold. Gold, Jerry!
