Okay, one thing I absolutely hated in Age of Ultron was the prima nocta ‘joke’. It wasn’t in the original released clip so it must have been a late addition, and I cannot for the life of me work out why Joss Whedon thought it was funny or appropriate. Maybe he thought it was somehow clever sneaking some Latin in under the radar, but even then I can’t work out what he expected-
“Wait, what’s prima nocta?”
“Oh, it’s the word for the old English law which dictated a noble had the right to rape a woman on the first night of her marriage!”
“What in the actual fuck, Joss.”
