Mine is the second question concerning the blockbuster mentality which was sparked by the huge success of "Jaws" and "Star Wars" about 2 and a half minutes into the clip. They might have taken me up slightly wrong though since I didn't mean to blame those films per se rather the poor imitations and attempts to cash in on their legacy which were particularly common in the 1980s. By the way, I'm actually Irish but it says that I'm from Alabama as I left the location part blank and Alabama is the first US state alphabetically. Plus Michael Phillips mispronounced my first name but most Irish people make the same mistake so I'm not too concerned! Incidentally, mine was the last question that they answered on the "Ask the Critic" feature before the series ended.

Nick Fury is at war...and its NOT with lokis army this time! Details coming your way... According to the hollywood reporter, Samuel L.

One he can ACTUALLY do!" So why the animosity toward scott? Well Scott, while giving credit to director Joss Whedonfor including some snappy dialogue, ultimately conclcuded that, quote, "While The Avengers is hardly worth raging about, its failures are significant and dispiriting. The light, amusing bits cannot overcome the grinding, hectic emptiness, the bloated cynicism that is less a shortcoming of this particular film than a feature of the genre." Jackson responded to Twitter user @TheFilmNest, who said, "Disappointed to hear @SamuelLJackson respond irrationally to negative review of #Avengers.
