What this episode covers
We here at Writing Excuses enjoyed Marvel's The Avengers. This isn't a movie review, though. This is a discussion of what the movie did right from a writer's standpoint. The things we focus on? * Dialog and character voice * Balanced handling of an ensemble of main characters * Scenes that serve more than one function * Pacing Obviously there will be some spoilers here. The film is available for rental now, so you might consider watching it again with this podcast and these points in mind. And generally speaking, it's a good exercise for writers to look at movies (or books, or comics, or whatever) that they enjoy, and then attempt to identify the reasons those things were enjoyable.
