After The Avengers: Age of Ultron opened — making a bazillion dollars the first weekend — social media exploded with unhappy campers out for director Joss Whedon’s head. He even left Twitter.
I wondered why.
I finally saw the movie today, and I know why I’m annoyed. [SPOILER ALERT]
He killed off Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
I’m not that upset that he killed the Quicksilver character.
I’m not that hardcore.
But once you include Johnson in a movie, and the audience gets used to looking at him and listening to him talk in the beautiful accent he selected for this part, it’s just heartbreaking to have him ripped away so suddenly.
Especially when sequels are pretty much a guarantee in this franchise.
I am not pleased.
