Great job by Joss Whedon. Pleased with the respect of Captain America and his views. Joss was smart not to anger the Right. Many on the Right enjoyed his work on Buffy & Angel etc.

Jos does some pretty antiestablishemt/ anti “federalizing” stuff. The satire in Serenity concerning the Reever planet and the “Federals” past attempt at medicating the planet(”it was the pax we put into the air and water”) towards a planned peaceful society with carefully controlled views was very revealing. His Firefly series had enough anti PC snarky lines and situations that the insecure LIBERAL types at 20th FOX studios had the program canceled.

Given liberal views supporting notions of medicating the water supplies with contraceptives and meds to calm the populaces, I’m sure Whedon’s views rankle certain establisment types. Whedon’s skewering of a certain NY senator(without using his name) by show casing the Senator’s anti hero(who are they?) paranoia in the Avengers’ movie is a classic Whedon specialty.
