13 Ways To Mourn Joss Whedon Leaving Twitter
Now that "Avengers: Age of Ultron" is raking in money at the box office, it seems like everybody all over the Internet -- everybody except director Joss Whedon, who deactivated his Twitter account yesterday.
This isn't the first time his Twitter account has gone gentle into that good night -- as he told Entertainment Weekly in 2013, he started up his account on the social network to promote his movie "Much Ado About Nothing" and briefly quit soon after the film was released. "The moment I joined, oh my God, what a responsibility, this is enormous work—very fun, but it really started to take up a huge amount of my head space," he said. '
Of course, just because Whedon's left us before doesn't mean there aren't plenty of people who are bummed to see him leave. If you're one of those people, take heart -- there are plenty of coping mechanisms for you to try out.
