Joss Whedon takes a secular view of the Endtimes, but he arrives at the same place as those on the religious right, who welcome its coming.
“It’s a brand new day…”
P.S. Whedon’s comment about “ungoverned corporate privilege” has some irony to it, considering that his movie The Avengers grossed more than $1.5 billion before going to video, and yet Disney-Marvel has no money for Jack Kirby, without whom the Avengers wouldn’t exist. With Whedon signing to direct the Avengers sequel, I’d like to think he can bring some pressure to bear on the studio to propose a settlement with Kirby’s family.
