Hahahaha, OH JOSS.

From the Avengers commentary (Joss Whedon):

I always think of Schubert as Mr. Treacle.

Why, you know, Joss? So do I. I just hadn't ever been able to put it so succinctly before.

Wait, Schubert as in lots of Lieder, penniless artist dies young, Romantic Schubert?

*headtilt* Huh. Never thought of him like that before, not sure if agree...

Well, that was the whole point - Joss thought of him like Mr. Treacle, but then he used a piece in Avengers and it was not as treacle-y as he thought. And I know Schubert has more depth than that, but I can't help having that sort of feeling about him, if I don't stop to think about it.
