"Why does a leaked script by a famous writer/director for a blockbuster DC property that just came out with a highly successful version of that blockbuster DC property become a much talked-about topic of conversation?"

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, those reasons might make sense to you but they honestly boggle me. I love the movie that did come out, and I'm happy and relieved that's the version we ultimately go, but I'm also acutely aware of the many and varied things that could have gone wrong with this particular property. My only reaction upon learning about this leaked script was, "Phew, another bullet dodged." I still think it's something about Whedon -- something I've never, ever understood, because most of his works have failed to interest me.

[(Anonymous)]

It does not boggle me that people are inclined to talk about famous people who write stuff for very popular franchises, no. I'm surprised that anyone would be surprised about that. Joss Whedon is huge, like him or not. Movies based on comics dominate summer film blockbusters now. Wonder Woman was both a recent release AND huge. I don't like the football and the Superbowl doesn't interest me, but I'm not surprised when it becomes a huge topic of conversation at that time of year.

It's pretty clear, even just in this thread, that this script hullabaloo is just further ammo for the Whedon fans and anti-fans to fire on each other. All this "It's popular so of course people will talk about it" justification doesn't fly because none of this back-and-forth has generated any good discussion about Wonder Woman at all. It's like, whatever, let's talk Wonder Woman 2 now and how they better not fuck it up and be willing to pay Patty Jenkins all the money to make this movie. But no, it's gotta be Joss Whedon's feminist status. AGAIN.

[(Anonymous)]

You're surprised that a discussion about a leaked script by Whedon that's full of hilariously bad writing and sexism is generating discussion about Whedon's status as a feminist? I'm sorry, this is another one of those "things I'm not surprised by but I'm surprised that someone else is surprised".

You're kind of like a person who barges into an active discussion about pizza toppings demanding to know why people aren't talking about pasta, because you want the conversation to be about pasta. Both are delicious, but... you entered the pizza thread, and not the pasta thread. No surprises there, really.

My bet was some Whedon stan thought they could make him look cool by showing off what his ~masterpiece~ was.

Only Whedon now looks like a completely out of touch hack writer who would be perfectly at home on Game of Thrones, especially with the scripted male gazey camera pans just like with Daenerys in season 1.
