The internet is angry at Joss Whedon, and the AP Marvel crew attempts to break down why it matters. Chris, Anthony, and Izzy are joined by Jennifer Unkle (@jbu3) of Scanline Media in looking back not just at The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron, but his career (and life philosophy) as a whole. And with this troublesome information in mind, how do we reckon with Whedon’s contributions to popular culture?
