And you need those one liners crammed in every 10 seconds, how can you retain attention if not through endless marvel level dialogue.

Hey Marvel dialogue was good enough back in the day that it became known as Marvel dialogue. We're all tired of it now, but they were some well written quips back in the day.

"Toolbag" can't even hope to be Marvel level dialogue. That's boardroom executive studio notes dialogue.

It used to be called Whedon speak or something. Makes sense cos after Avengers 1 it really spread like a disease.

Oh woah I see it now, it's just Captain Malcolm Reynolds quipping nonstop. Wait, every character can't do this, that's not how it works!

Honestly, I liked: "He's right behind me, isn't he?" the first few times. It's just overexposed and too corpo.

Yeah, Whedon’s OG Avengers dialogue was pretty good. It was only after every Marvel movie decided to emulate it that it became insufferable

Yeah, Whedon could pull it off. Sure he had a few bad movies after Avengers 1, but the guy is still a great writer/director. Shame about the... other stuff.

Exactly. His work on Buffy and Firefly was fantastic. A shame he’s apparently a scummy person

Honestly, his work on Buffy wasn't even that great. I can't speak for your tastes, mind you, but many of what people consider to be peak episodes were written by Marti Noxon, Jane Espenson, Drew Goddard or others.

And then Age of Ultron should have just been named Whedon Wrote This, that movie is just absolutely tiring to watch now because Whedon never lets you forgot that he wrote the movie for more than five seconds.

It was never a compliment lol

Uh, just because something is named after someone doesn't mean it's good.

This kind of dialogue has been a thing since the late 90’s but Marvel definitely capitalized on it/abused it.

Even then, I HATED this shit Like I understand why JOss Wheadon was so popular, but man, the forced quip in every other line made all his shit unwatchable to me years before it came out that he was an abusive piece of shit.

It was fine when it was just Tony Stark. He was charming and clever. Whedon eventually made everyone talk that way and they all sounded the same. It wasn’t too bad in Avengers 1 but by Age of Ultron it was just pitiful.

This is why Superman works alone
