But now they're all mad at him for his treatment of Scarlett Johansson's character in Age of Ultron

buffy is what made today's tv good, but whedon has overstayed his welcome. the avengers movies suck and feel like someone trying to imitate his writing. cabin in the woods was pretty awesome, though

In the grim darkness of the future there is only Oakley.

His non-vocal fans are alright because they aren't spergin' about every single thing he's ever done.

Dollhouse sucked though, straight up.

Thought dollhouse sucked, Buffy went off the rails in the end, angel was best show on tv by season 5 not sure if that can be attributed to Whedon though. Welp that's all I have to say about joss Whedon

Nah, not really, it's actually genuinely super funny the majority of the time and has some really silly but fun satire in it, so it's aware of its tacky premise and makes the most of it.

Why?? I like Cowboy Bebop but it's genuinely great my man, my main man, my best bud, my BFF.
Like if you're like "I'm watching anime it's that gay one about WWII and every country being some weird loving child or something" then you should be ashamed but if it's genuinely good, smh, I don't get it.
