But Josh Whedon's name attatched to this makes all the difference. He knows how to do female characters justice and write a good story. I've been a fan of his since Buffy. I'm in, and fully support this movie, as strange as the idea is.
Despite that, he wasn't a particularly big or well loved hero. His movie put him on the map. No normal people knew who he was or even cared about the Avengers before IM1. Spidey and the X-men carried Marvel on their backs almost elusively.

Yeah, but I think that's what he meant. Not that IM is really new, but he is to mainstream audiences. The character, his suit, all pretty fresh concepts at the time
There was an Iron Man cartoon in the 90s, as well as animated movies with him prior to the live action stuff.
The "Ultimate Avengers" movies were pretty good. So he was kinda there, but not as popular as he would later become.

if they had any guts, they'd have her shot partway through the movie and have the rest of the movie be her training until she's strong enough to beat the piss out of the Joker from her wheelchair.
