There are things about Whedon's style I love, and things I've come to find tiresome.

He's really, really good at creating ensemble dynamics where everyone has a clear, distinct personality, and the dynamics between characters feel immediately recognizable and sturdy. He's also fantastic at giving all of his characters ways of contributing to the plot, so that nobody feels completely extraneous. One thing I will always love about Whedon's writing is that he understands that there's always enough awesome to go around if you want there to be. He doesn't give all the cool shit to one character; he makes sure to find cool shit for all the characters, and I think that's fantastic.

That said, I also find his style kind of...idk, juvenile? At least by 2021 standards of story-telling. Like, fifteen years ago, I would watch his stuff, and I'd admire the fact that it had unexpected depths behind it's fluffy facade. It had heart, and that was wonderful. But I guess my expectations and standards have changed, because these days, it's hard not to notice that it may be deeper than fluff, but it's ultimately a bit simplistic. Like, I don't watch Buffy now and find new depths and complexities to it that didn't resonate with me when I was fifteen.

That said, there's nothing remotely wrong with still loving his stuff now, as much as ever. It's entirely a matter of personal taste, imo.
