20 years is a whole new adult. That is a big gap.

And not everything dates at the same rate. We've seen some big changes in how women are presented and how women's roles have changed, socially and on screen, Joss was not exceptionally ahead of the curve even back in the 1990s. He was doing 80s action girl roles only with less makeup and shorter participants. Not to mention his mommy issues that pervaded almost every project he did, and that a lot of his feminist issues were done via a male lead's reaction to them.

He was in the middle of the curve in mid 1990s, and he hasn't really changed his story telling tropes since. We're now in the mid 2010s, that leaves him quite a bit behind the curve now. Sorry dude, but that stuff got stale.

Marry me. Or have a fling. Or order some pizza and watch movies with me. Whatever suits you. I've been saying this about Whedon for YEARS.

Hardly an original or particularly rare opinion. I hope you have a large pizza.

Well said.

Yep, this. Honestly, it'd be more surprising if Buffy wasn't dated. It first aired in 1997 and it ended over a decade ago, and it wasn't necessarily groundbreaking stuff even at the time.
