He fought with them because he didn't want a cheese-ball character like the last film. He's a real comic fan who only wanted to make sure they made a good movie. If Robert Downey had that kind of passion, they wouldn't have made that shitty second iron man.

True, and depending on how this Avengers movie goes they should have let Farveau direct this movie.

I was a bit surprised by that move. It was almost a slap in the face. I don't think Joss has exactly proven himself to get handed what's probably one of the largest projects for them in years ... but I'm just glad they didn't give it to michael bay

Joss does very good work with TV shows that are on the edge, firefly, dollhouse, etc. Farveau knows what to do, though IM2 was pathetic but they pushed that movie out just because.

I loved firefly, and even buffy was a good show (in the beginning), it just seems like quite a jump from "yeah, he's done a couple good tv shows" to "let's give him our biggest project in years!!!" But, that's basically what they did with Favreau and it paid off. (also not counting IM2 which was obviously pushed out way too fast)
