I can think of few other directors today who engender a similar amount of fan passion that Mr. Whedon does. The fact that he took the time to write a sincerely grateful, yet humorously self-deprecating post to his biggest fans after the biggest domestic movie opening weekend of all time speaks volumes to why he’s so beloved.
Joss Whedon interviewing himself:
RDA: What do you feel is the greatest achievement of “the Avoiders”?
JW: Getting “mewling quim” out there to the masses. Also, Hulk.
For the record, I had to look up what “mewling quim” means and when I did I could do nothing but smile and give Joss a mental high five.
Well played, sir. Well played.
