O Captain, my Captain.

As my friend Anthony will attest, I am not remotely a comics aficionado. I know basically nothing about the medium. I'm a total arriviste, a lowly noob, a schmuck who never paid his dues in the basements of Orbital Comics, trawling for that hard to get copy of...well, I don't even know the appropriate reference.  

That aside, where that is the admission of my total ignorance, I still can't get over how amazing it is that Joss Whedon in the first Avengers movie was able to convey the entire characterisation of several lead characters with just one line of dialogue.

I never really got Captain America until he said this (you can ignore the author of this clip who thinks it's a straight endorsement of Christian dogma):

And I likewise never got The Hulk until he said this:

As you can guess therefore, I am pretty much pathetically moist about Age of Ultron. And hanging out with Anthony again, so he can mock my ignorance...
