"You have to let that absurdity bleed into the characters, because if you don't let the audience laugh at it, they're going to LAUGH at it, and not the way you want." Much of the humor derives from the growing pains the Avengers experience, squabbling among one another before they learn to work as a team. These are big egos used to having their own way, so the idea of cooperation does not come easily. Many of the actors were used to having their own way in solo superhero adventures, but cooperation did come easily for them, Whedon said. "I had concerns, but my refrain was always, 'If they hate each other, I can use it,'" Whedon said. "And at the end of the day, they just had a great time together. Everybody was really on board. Everybody was looking out for everybody else. Everybody was thrilled to work with the people they worked with and cranky because they couldn't work with the people they didn't work with. "It really was a positive bunch that had the kind of energy that helps pull you out of bed when you've got to shoot a movie that long." ___ Online:
