Eh? What did you say? Frog? Bog? Get off my lawn you damned kids!
I am but a simple bricklayer looking to use these golden bricks to build the foundation of the future.

They each accused each other of self-promotion (Velvet: “Let’s separate fact from fiction: Who is dressed as a superhero right now at a radio station calling out a fictitious villain?” Jones: “I don’t think I promoted anything today, except maybe you, which is sad.”) before they got down to brass tacks.

Joss Whedon and his crew did an excellent job on “The Avengers” movie and I look forward to the sequel, for obvious reasons. But this is the second film that had something I created for Marvel in it — the Infinity Gauntlet in “Thor” being the other – and both films I had to pay for my own ticket to see them. Financial compensation to the creators of these characters doesn’t appear to be part of the equation.
