Joss Whedon reminds me of George Lucas. He made one awesome thing and is now making a career out of trying to make more awesome things without actually realizing why the original thing he made was awesome (whcih was mostly that it was a perfect fit to its time and place), and whenever someone tries to tell him "Hey, this isn't working," he responds with "Then you must be the one with the problem, because I'm awesome."

[bringreligiontothewamwams]

Yeah, he's basically done two good things in his career (Buffy and Avengers) and the rest has been everything from utter rubbish to more-or-less okay. I'm not even sure he can put Avengers in his win column either. It was equal parts Iron Man, Thor's Loki (Avengers was pretty much Thor: Part Two if you ask me. Thor seemed like a tv series season cliffhanger the way it ended), and Samuel L Jackson. Other than getting Pepper barefoot and that scene with Natasha near barefoot but tied up and performing hot-chick martial arts, what did Whedon bring? I've not paid much attention to the Marvel film series, so what was his involvement in the creative side of Iron Man or Thor?

Oh god you're one of the feet people

[bringreligiontothewamwams]

Well most people have them. Come on though, how can you not notice Whedon's creepy foot fetish? It'd be like marathoning the entire Star Wars film series and not noticing Lucas' amputation fetish.

Whaaat? Surely you mean Firefly and Dr. Horrible.

[bringreligiontothewamwams]

Oh please, Firefly was dull, dull, dull. Not to mention incredibly hackneyed and unoriginal. It was not a lost masterpiece, nor even a terribly good show.

[chardmonster]

Not exactly. I've heard great things about his Avengers run (the comic, not the movies), Firefly was good (show and movie; don't let the insane fans turn you away from it), Dollhouse was decent but held back by the sexism swicheroo (It looks like sexist trash in the first couple episodes--which is the whole point, but it takes time to drive that home).

I don't think you can really judge this show after two episodes. Have you seen early Buffy? I'm not claiming it's good, either. I'm saying it just started.

I'm not judging Agents of SHIELD. I'm not watching it, because I've already watched and tried to enjoy all his other post-Buffy TV and I am done with how clever he thinks he is.

Dollhouse was decent but held back by the sexism swicheroo (It looks like sexist trash in the first couple episodes--which is the whole point, but it takes time to drive that home).

I also think Joss Whedon was more or less forced to dial up the sex and down his other points, so people got annoyed at what they thought was more Joss Whedon sex obsession again, when really it was not his first choice. (Same thing with Inara being a "companion" in Firefly.) I'm not saying every single show cancellation was completely someone else's fault and not at all his, but a lot of "his" choices were actually Hollywood's.

Joss wanted MORE sex on Dollhouse, actually. FOX made him dial it down.

In Lucas' favor, Indiana Jones and Labyrinth are actually pretty awesome. :P
