Ten things make a list. I like lists.

10. If you read yesterday's post about ebook distribution around the world, you may want to go back and read it again; I made some pretty hefty edits after having a contract discussion with The Agent, and I think it's more accurate now.

9. While I will not say that Joss Whedon is my master now—I remain too critical for that, and still haven't forgiven him for several things—he has made my two favorite theatrical releases of this year, Cabin in the Woods and The Avengers.

8. Although if we don't get another female hero in the sequel, I am going to be one cranky kitty. I knew that would be an issue for me going in; I was not wrong.

7. We're down to three girls on this season of America's Next Top Model, and I don't hate any of them. What? How can this be? I think the world has been intrinsically damaged by the inanity of this season's "US v. UK" concept.

6. You know what's awesome? Disneyland, that's what's awesome. You know what's better? I'm going there in two weeks, with Vixy. Are we now planning to hit every Disney park in the world? Yes. Yes, we are. Next up, Disneyland Paris.

5. Eleven days to Blackout! Who's excited? I'm excited!

4. If you somehow get an early copy, please don't tell me. There's nothing I can do about it, and it'll just raise my blood pressure. But feel free to post a review. Reviews are awesome.

3. You know what makes everything better? Poison dart frickens make everything better. Look at their tiny technicolor deadliness!

2. Jean Grey is still dead.

1. I'm seeing The Devil's Carnival tonight! Yay!

Hope you're all having a great Friday, and are looking forward to an even greater weekend.

From a craft point of view, six people should have been impossible. Ergo, seven is impossible, ergo they can make it work.

Also, reformed or not, Loki killed a lot of people. I want him to sit out for a while.

I think at six, it was a little thin on characterization, and only worked because we introduced three of the big guys in their own separate movies, Black Widow was somewhat introduced and we only really needed to introduce Hawkeye and Hulk. I think they can make it work, but where's the limit? Eight? Nine? Ten? You're a craftmaster, so you would know better than me, but I'm definitely wondering how much is too much?

Maybe if they spotlighted a Wasp/She-Hulk/Ms. Marvel solo film, I'd be less worried.

Yeah, but he's a massive cash cow, he's one of the breakout stars. He might be good as their evil consultant. Aka, Breakout Kings: Asguard edition?
