Put on blast. Throwing shade. I hope these horrible teeny-bopper phrases die out soon.

"Put on Blast" is from the 90s lol

It’s still stupid.

Someone who's very aggressive about letting everyone know what a champion for women and generally noble person he is turned out to be not so great. Not exactly a shock.

That old expression, patriotism is the first refuge of a scoundrel, comes to mind. Pretty much the same principal here.

I'm putting "The Avengers" on blast for being bad movies.

💯

Fun but soooo bad.

Honestly,this seems childish by Zak Penn side. His script didnt work,so Marvel hired Whedon to replace him. Why should have Whedon include him in his activity of writing the script?? The point was that,to replace him! Also,he says that "money went out of his pocket" but he still has a credit for the screenplay,so thats just false! And the part where he brings out his kids is just so trash. So Zak Penn is in the wrong here.

Do we really have any proof a Zak Penn AVENGERS movie would've been better than the one we got in 2012??

Strange, and yet when you watch behind the scenes footage of The Avengers, the cast seemed to having the time of their lives. Even Scarlett said it should be illegal to have so much fun.

reply

Scarlett is based. She supports both Joss Whedon and Woody Allen. Love her.
