you know what i AM going to sue you because angel being better than buffy is CRAZY i must know why /silly
Well for starts, let's take a look at the word you used- crazy. Compare the way Angel deals with mental health VS Buffy. Angel wasn't perfect, but topics like PTSD were given the spotlight from the very first season with that childhood SA victim. Compare that to Buffy when we learn she's been in a mental hospital before coming to Sunnydale several seasons in. Buffy treated mental health like an afterthought and the only flowers we can give Buffy in that regard is Once More With Feeling- its literal sitxh season. If we are viewing addiction under the same umbrella, then we need to redact whatever points we can give Once More With Feeling with the god-awful way season 6 treated Willow's addiction. As a bisexual, I always found it a little annoying that Whedon just turnt her into a lesbian because he was afraid of biphobia (thus giving into it by not creating a bi character) but season 6 made me LOATHE Willow x Tara as a ship so bad that even as a kid I was actually happy Tara died simply because the ship was now done and over with. I mentioned before that both my grandmothers were alcoholics and my deadbeat dad had an issue with drugs. Seeing Willow get away with all her shit and Tara giving her a second chance without Willow ever having gone to rehab or actually put in the hard work of getting clean and earning everyone's trust has always made me livid. And with the context of Tara having an abusive childhood in the picture, it very much gives off the vibe of a woman staying in an abusive relationship because she never knew any better and it breaks my heart. Then there is Spuffy and the way they were handled in S6. Just the number of toxic, bad messages in season 6 alone is actually quite horrendous. The early set-up of Buffy was great but the toxic messages and how serious issues got treated like an afterthought throughout the show's run definitely feels like everyone is too caught up in their own nostalgia for the show to ignore the fact this show had as much red flags as every typical YA show like The Vampire Diaries that shamed & victim-blamed SA victims for one. Angel was a spin-off seemingly trying to branch out for the older fans with its detective storyline and as a result treated serious topics differntly and with more maturity compard to Buffy. Sure there are flaws like the ridiculous Cordelia x Connor storyline but now we all know why that messy storyline exists. Even if I wasn't raised by a detective-lover and thus adore the genre myself, I still would have called Angel better for not being as offensive in the way it approaches serious topics. Whedon is an ass and it shows in the way he writes about serious issues and Buffy got the short end of the stick. He is good at writing certain things like creating character foils, but he has serious issues that tank the writing. It's why I detest his horror movie Cabin In The Woods. Spoiler alert but the main character has the choice of saving the world from an apocalypse by killing her friend or dooming the entire planet which they do at the end. That movie is so busy with pretentious commentary about horror movie tropes and 'humanity sucks' that most people including the majority of the audience fail to see beyond their selfish misanthropic mindset: The entire planet gets destroyed, not just humanity. Everything will die, from the flowers to kittens. That is the ending everyone cheers for. Because everyone including Whedon fails to realize that despite the ending literally showing an ancient God tearing a clearing apart with its awakening. And that is Whedon's problem- he is a pretentious dick who should be barred from giving commentary or writing on serious topics & philosophical questions because he is so concerned with stroking his own ego that he doesn't stops to consider the ramifications of his writing and in the case of Buffy which started out very YA- it actually sends harmful messages to the kids (which teenagers still technically are) watching. As an aspiring children's author myself, I find that very important.
Because Dollhouse was cancelled so no one knows anything about it, there’s like no fandom when there absolutely SHOULD BE. Anyone who posts Dollhouse stuff lmk so I can follow 💜
I’m surprised people think Lila Shapiro was trying to redeem Whedon or do PR control for him in that Vulture article. She was quite obviously giving him enough rope to hang himself with.
The fact that, after 9000 words detailing various abuses and scandals and quoting Whedon’s outrageous and unconvincing explanations, the piece hilariously ending with Whedon saying: “But I still think I’m too nice” says it all.
Oh, she knows who that guy is.
The team wrote the musical during the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. The idea was to create something small and inexpensive, yet professionally done, in a way that would circumvent the issues that were being protested during the strike. Reception has been overwhelmingly positive.
"It was because of the writers’ strike that Whedon had a number of his closest friends — who just so happen to be some of the most esteemed actors — at his disposal for his weird idea, but that wasn’t the only factor working in his favor. Between the period of 2007 and 2008, Whedon also decided he wanted to toy with the idea of using the internet as a way to distribute a film. This way he could bypass having to go through a studio for money and connect directly with those who wanted to support his vision, particularly during a time of need.
The only thing stopping him from doing that at the time was that fact that he didn’t know how do go about doing it. In an interview with Dave Itzkoff last year, Whedon told the New York Times critic that it noted Felicia Day’s work on The Guild, a webseries that premiered on YouTube in July 2007, as a reason for looking to the internet as a realm of possibility in the first place."

Regarding the Vulture article about Joss Whedon that was released today, I know it’s about Joss but I just wanted to highlight this segment:
“While Whedon’s superhero epics were leavened by irony and wordplay, Snyder’s were brooding and self-important, with a visual style that combined the artificiality of a video game with the fascist aesthetic of a Leni Riefenstahl production.”
