Black Bones posted:Pretty much. I'm finally sitting down to watch firefly after all this time, and it's kinda boring. Def had potential and some fun ideas, so I can kinda see why fellow nerds have raved and recommended it to me, but its like its too afraid of being outright camp, and thus ends up lame. meh, that's really the crux of the Whedon debate. He makes absolutely cracker situations, then doesn't follow through with them, nor can he write dialogue that's realistic and not just witty banter all in the same voice. Artists who do one thing really really well and other things very poorly are pretty much the free space on nerd debate bingo.

It's pretty easy to hate joss whedon's fans TBF but the same goes for all nerds who think they're funny bc they consume funny media something something African or European swallow

Joss Whedon didn't even make Cabin in the Woods and that's why it's "his" least bad thing. Disliking Joss Whedon has nothing to do with the types that love him.

People always say this yet I've yet to see an actual reasoned list of why they dislike him that didn't come across as "ok, whatever floats your boat." I hold no delusions that Whedon is some sort-of virtuoso or visionary, he's frankly a terrible director, and when his writing sucks it suuuuucccckkkks, but even during my least favorite works of his (Dr. Horrible) I've never personally felt the revulsion I see some goons have. It's not even like he truly dominated anything outside of his tiny cult corner until he lucked into the Avengers gig, negating the big reason I venom against Michael Bay or even Wes Anderson. What exactly are the big reasons he's so awful again?

I liked buffy the vampire slayer when I was younger. I mean, even then I knew it was cheesy as gently caress but it was fun cheese I watched Firefly recently and it's kind of uninteresting. I watched Dollhouse too and it was just straight up bad. I enjoyed Avengers I hope you enjoyed these opinions

I think some people just react too far the other way when they see people loving media that is probably mediocre at best and sometimes awful.

You see we, the audience, are the Old Ones, demanding horror movies follow cliched "tropes". And when a movie fails to do so, than the film is killed by the Invisible Hand that is the movie purchasing public. At the box office.
