Joss is an amazing writer, and y'all are just jealous.

WAS. He WAS an solid writer once upon a time.

The problem is he started resting on his laurels and never grew as a writer and he's never kept up with the times. His writing has basically been unchanged since the second season of Buffy. He's even recycling jokes/tropes/dialog to the point that it's noticeable.

He's been professionally dining out on Buffy/Angel/Firefly (which had a lot of other talented writers involved besides himself) and hasn't really changed one jot. It's gotten a bit threadbare.

Add in his ego, and it's really NAGL.

Yep, this. He's not bad and he's had his moments, but he's also been coasting a loooooong time off his early work. The Wonder Woman script that got leaked was bad. Not just problematic-bad, but eyerollingly bad. If he still thinks it's good work... well. He hasn't grown much as a writer.

Joss is a writer who had done some phenomenal writing, I will agree w you on that

Dude, I'm a big fan of Joss, too. I love the man still because of the huge impact he's had on my life. No other person who I don't actually know IRL has changed me as much. His work is the ruler I judge other people's art by. However, the man is very likely not that good of a person. This doesn't bother me too much because I'm not always the best person, either. People are free to judge him, it doesn't bother me because it doesn't take away what his work means to me.

Yes, I was completely amazed that he, while still being touted as a feminist who wrote strong female characters, managed to write a scene where the Black Widow told Bruce Banner, a guy who destroys neighborhoods when he loses his temper, that she's the real monster because she can't have babies.

and i'm still amazed that in the year of our lord 2018 people still think that that was the point of that scene.

it's possible to understand that that wasn't the point of that scene and still be mad that it was so badly written that that's what the dialogue said

Word.

+1

Especially given what another Marvel branch was concurrently telling us about another Red Room agent, I 100% thought that conversation was going to involve talking about not having agency in murders that you commited, but nope. Sterility is the worst thing about being the Black Widow. Okay.

I would have LOVED to have seen a conversation between Banner and Romanoff about not having agency in the destruction you do. LOVED.

No, we get women are defined by their ability to have babies.
