[quote=@The Patriarch] Nope in fact he's gotten hate from several people, he's not universally praised [/quote] Alright, technically he's not 'universally' praised, he is however widely praised and widely held in high regard. I mean the praise he recieved for the Avengers and likely will receive for Age of Ultron far exceeds even the praise received by Nolan for The Dark Knight (specifically the midquel, while Begins is very good, Rises was trash). In terms of Marvel movies alone, I'd have to say the Avengers is really only trumped by Guardians and maybe Winter Soldier.
