I guess that’s what happens when you bring in an already vanilla director to do patch work on a diced up and unfinished movie.

I actually don't think Whedon is all that vanilla.

He is more vanilla than many of his counterparts, but he makes well made and entertaining movies. Age of Ultron suffers somewhat in the storytelling department and some of the action is too close up and too edited, but the movie has personality and is definitely entertaining. It hits all the emotional cues imo.

He is a more interesting filmmaker than someone like J.J. Abrams as far as I'm concerned.

I feel that his strengths (where they are sparingly present) are in his writing of dialogue more than anything else. The first Avengers comes to mind as a well-structured action story with a ton of fun dialogue, but it looks like a local news team shot it. Everything about its visuals are bad.

Then you have someone like Abrams - who I believe is an excellent technical director, but should never write a movie under any circumstance. He has his weaknesses (excessive camera movement and lens flairs), but overall he can shoot a movie really well.
