Still, with Whedon leaving the Avengers franchise right before all sorts of creative new recruits are introduced to fight Thanos — including Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, and Black Panther — does he harbor any twinge of regret that he won’t ever get to script the first Avengers conversation between, say, Tony Stark and Star-Lord?

‘Oh, buddy, are you kidding?’ said Whedon. ‘I’m angry about scenes between people in my movies that I didn’t get to write!’

April 6-

I should’ve run this yesterday, but — well, things were busy. The daily, I’ll write something every morning, thing is on hiatus for awhile due to family business. Nothing bad, but just distracting when juggled with deadlines and other things. Normal service should be resumed in a week or so.

(I write that as if I have an audience; I really don’t think I do, for these, but I write nonetheless, imagining that one day I’ll be my own audience at least.)
