I'm now a lot less interested in seeing the film. I wonder if WW will become to the present what Spider-man was the the 80s and 90s, the comic-book movie that keeps almost getting made.

Aawwww no fair! I really wanted to see what Joss Whedon was going to do with it.

Now I'm not even half as excited.

Ditto. It's been downgraded from 'I'll be in line Opening Night with lots of friends' to 'If I make it to the theater while it's still there...'

I suspect they want another dumbed-down blockbuster, while Joss wanted to explore deeper, darker aspects of the character. That's not to say that Joss' vision would necessarily be better ...he might have been going *too* dark/emotionally-tortured or something.

Maybe Whedon realized that making comic books into movies is a stupid and pointless idea and that he's better off not trying to convince studios to make a deeper, chracter driven drama than a summer blockbuster. Movies based on comic books are a waste of time.Movies will never be able to rival the scope and storytelling element that comic books showcase. Some may be entertaining (Spider-Man, Batman Begins) but no comic book movie can make you care about its chracter like a comic book can. All a comic-book based movie presents is a piece of fluff with a recognized chracter; 2/3 action 1/3 comic-book deviated plot. Bottom line is that a reading an epic chracter driven story for 2.99 is better than watching Dolph Lundgren as Super Skrull for 10.00. Think about it. Love to hear replys
