Buffy:” So here’s the part where you make a choice. What if you could have that power, now? In every generation, one Slayer is born, because a bunch of men who died thousands of years ago made up that rule. They were powerful men. [points to Willow] This woman… is more powerful than all of them combined. [Willow whimpers] So I say we change the rule. I say my power… should be our power. From now on, every girl in the world who might be a Slayer, will be a Slayer. Every girl who could have the power, will have the power, can stand up, will stand up. Slayers… every one of us. Make your choice. Are you ready to be strong?”

Yes, that’s right..there are only a chose few…? and Joss Whedon is definitely one of those special people creatives t.v and film makers with a amazing track record for making some of the most memorabel and truly awesome female charasctr in genere t.v and film: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Angel, Serenity, Dollhouse and now with The Avengers…
