"And Dr. Horrible Two is very much in the mix."
"[All the Marvel films] have a place in my heart. Except Iron Man 2; it doesn’t have a place in my heart."

No. That show is stupid, loud and obnoxious.
Enough to kill the characters in it, Whedon style *snickers*

Myself, I saw it as a clever pun. What was that about age, again? ;)

And, you know, I loves me some Dr Horrible a whole lot (no really, I still host the website and tinker to keep it alive)... but I remember that feeling of discovering Joss had worked on a project called "DR HORRIBLE'S SING-ALONG BLOG" via NPH in an interview, thinking "That's a wacky name!", speculating about it, joss posting about it, and thinking about what it all meant. What I'm basically saying is although it's the human condition to want more of the same, the comfort of the known... I want the unknown.
In a world where The X-Files and Twin Peaks are returning to TV, the only actual weird thing is going to be something new.

(As for age, I'm 22. I like to think I'm among the youngest fans who caught Buffy at the end of its original run.)

I, too, am looking forward to something new from Joss. I will be at the head of the line for the new Avengers, but I want to see what emerges from Joss's head full-grown (after he has a chance to reacquaint himself with his wife and kids, that is).

(Not a kid here, either. Good entertainment is for everyone.)

(I'll be *gulp* 60 next month. #HowIsThatEvenFrakkingPossible I was 53 when I stumbled on to Whedonesque.)

A lovely interview, by the way! Particularly the Iron Man 2 line.

A fine interview, and I, too, am excited for what's next.

If my memory serves, Coulson specifically asked Sif to keep the news to herself, and she agreed. So it's still possible that no one in the AoU realm knows, other than Fury and Hill. (Does Hill know that Fury is still around? All this could make for some interesting reveals in the future.)

He gets in trouble with his dry wisecracks that don't always come across in print.

Nice interview! The interviewer didn't ask wildly original questions, but she asked good ones, to which she received excellent answers. I love the idea that Joss wants to come up with something NEW - good for him. I have totally enjoyed the Marvel movies, and I really, really loved Much Ado, but it will be great to see where he goes next. There was always a certain darkness to BtVS and Firefly and (heaven knows) Dollhouse. It'll be interesting to find out if we're going to see that again.
If we're doing the age thing, I ... OK, no. Let's just say I started watching Buffy during Season 2 when I had a new baby and was stuck at home with the television a lot, and that the baby is now 17. I'm thrilled to know we have a wide age range here. (Although there was a moment last weekend at a B&B when a fellow guest, 23, asked me, in all seriousness, "Who was Sid Vicious?" and I felt old old old.)
