WASHINGTON 鈥� Over the weekend, Joss Whedon鈥檚 鈥淎vengers: Age of Ultron鈥� brought in more than $190 million, the second-biggest opening weekend ever. But some of the criticism of the film has evidently led the director to quit Twitter.
He鈥檚 no longer found on the social-media site, and that his final message was 鈥淭hank you to all the people who鈥檝e been so kind and funny and inspiring up in here.鈥�
that it鈥檚 hard to know for sure why he left, but says that some users had urged him to 鈥渄ie鈥� or 鈥渃ommit suicide鈥� over various plot points they didn鈥檛 like in his latest film, particularly the relationship between the Black Widow and Bruce Banner, a scene in which the Black Widow is captured by Ultron, and the depiction of Quicksilver.
Others on Twitter have of the responses he got, via TIME. (The language gets pretty rough, though the insinuation that the creator of 鈥淏uffy: The Vampire Slayer鈥� doesn鈥檛 do strong female characters is pretty funny.)
TIME notes that this isn鈥檛 the first time the director has laid off Twitter, though. Talking with , he called Twitter 鈥渕y other job,鈥� one that 鈥渄oesn鈥檛 pay very well,鈥� and that he would 鈥渨alk away鈥� temporarily.
