In a just-released clip from the “Avengers” Blu-ray/DVD, fans are offered an alternate opening sequence to the Joss Whedon film, one that presents an entirely different narrative structure than what wound up onscreen. Here, Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) is being interrogated 48 hours after the events that concluded “The Avengers” and she’s quite displeased with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and The Avengers Initiative — this despite the superheros having saved New York and the world from Loki and his army of Chitauri.
The scene sets “The Avengers” up as a story told from Hill’s point of view; as any of the millions who saw the summer’s biggest hit in theaters can attest, that’s far from the case.
“The Avengers” Blu-ray and DVD comes out on September 25.

By the time I heard about Joss Whedon, the entire series of Firefly was in my house on DVD. Bored one day, I popped it in the player. I was sold. Firefly, and then Serenity, captured my attention and left me aching for more escapades of Mal Reynolds and the crew. To my utter dismay, there was only one season.
Joss Whedon has emerged slowly over the past 15 years as one of the great auteurs of geek culture, building an intense following for his work as the creator of cult television series like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly and Dollhouse and for his writing for comic books like the official Buffy the Vampire Slayer series for Dark Horse and Astonishing X-Men for Marvel Comics. 2012 is shaping up to be a breakthrough year for Whedon’s career – he wrote and directed the surefire blockbuster The Avengers, co-wrote the buzzy horror/comedy The Cabin in the Woods and directed a forthcoming indie film adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing.
Matthew Perpetua of Rolling Stone has a great photo list of the works by Joss Whedon. The good, the not so good, and the fantastic.
