Check out the awesome Joss Whedon "AMA" from Reddit

Joss Whedon is basically a geek god. Seriously.

The news that he might be directing THE AVENGERS came out on April Fools Day, which everyone thought was too good to be true, and it had to be a joke. Not to mention his droves of fans and their undying loyalty to his work on the small screen with Buffy, Angel, and Firefly.

Which is partially why he did an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session with Reddit, where fans could submit their questions and he would respond. There are some interesting tidbits from the session below!
