Mal: All right, let’s get these crates stowed, I don’t want any tourists stumbling over them.
Kaylee: We’re taking on passengers at Persephone?
Mal: That’s the notion. Could use a little respectability on the way to Boros. Not to mention the money.
Jayne: Pain in the ass.
Kaylee: No, it’s shiny! I like to meet new people, they’ve all got stories!
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from being cheerful, please?
Mal: I don’t believe there’s a power in the ‘Verse can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.
Kaylee: I love my captain.
Firefly: Episode 1 – “Serenity”
Take my love,
Take my land,
Take me where I cannot stand.I don’t care,
I’m still free,
You can’t take the sky from me.Take me out
To the black,
Tell ’em I ain’t coming back.Burn the land
And boil the sea,
You can’t take the sky from me.There’s no place
I can be
Since I found Serenity.But you can’t take the sky from me.

Bendis: We’re gonna die…

If there was one criticism that could be leveled against 2012’s The Avengers, it might be that the film was just a little too perfect. I know that sounds like a ridiculous thing to say, but bear with me. The second highest grossing film of all time was almost universally beloved and forever changed the landscape of the film industry with its success, but it was perhaps a little too polished. The action was too slick, the one-liners too well-timed and well-written, the effects too impressive, the heroes too heroic and the villains too villainous. For Avengers: Age of Ultron, the second Avengers film, the eleventh movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Joss Whedon’s second and final outing in the MCU, that perfection is intentionally avoided and the result is a film that’s messier, dirtier, more complicated, and ultimately a richer and better film than its predecessor.
