Megillah Gorilla posted:OSTs (original sound tracks) seem like a massive business now. It's not too different elsewhere, to be honest, it's just that other countries have different avenues. Is angling for a theme song all that different from angling to score a car commercial or something? Hell, I'd be happier with the show theme; at least there you're getting associated with something that might have shelf life, and that people like and will voluntarily watch.

At the very least, I feel like it deals with things like superheroes on the context of a broader society, issues of PR and collateral damage, and the effects it has on people living in a society full of gods and monsters better than a lot of superhero media. It's also almost anime Venture Bros sometimes. That said, yeah, might be too soon to tell.

OPs can be a big break but a lot of the acts also do it for fun. Years ago a metal band called Maximum the hormone did the second OP for death note because their crazy sound matched what the season was going to be about as an example

I remember people flipping poo poo when MtH's OP was revealed. I thought it was a breath of fresh air compared to the bog-standard J-rock first opening and matched well with Light's increasing paranoia and megalomania.

The saying Charisma was fired because she got pregnant and forced a mid-season re-write certainly goes back to when Angel was airing. I feel like the "keeping the baby" was something I read in some form even way back then?

Mock Gina all you want, but for her, some things are more important than money. Things such as her very strong belief in I Am Being Silenced.

Alhazred posted:For gently caress's sake! Her too? Dolly Parton has done a massive amount of good work, so I'd wait to hear the full story before jumping down her throat. There's a big difference between "she vouched for him and was wrong" and "she knew but covered it up". E: I looked. It's been revealed recently that Parton was an uncredited exprod on the Buffy TV series. So she "enabled" Whedon by listening to someone else who told her that there was mileage in the franchise after the movie flopped. Jedit has a new favorite as of 16:19 on Feb 12, 2021 |

Predators know how to hide and how to exploit people, so don't be surprised that he was able to hide and exploit people. We're only finding out about him now because he started failing about a decade ago and he doesn't have anybody he can use to cover him or deflect allegations any more, including the wide base of rabid fans he was able to cultivate and deploy tactically for 15+ years.

There's no indication that she saw Joss Whedon as a friend, or even knew who he was. Her entire involvement was her business partner saying the Buffy franchise would be profitable, so her company produced it.

My guess is that he wallowed in the positive attention he got from loudly saying performatively feminist/progressive things while actually being an abusive, selfish bully when there weren't too many witnesses around. I know a couple of people like this, they really aren't rare.

Also Roseanne Barr is a racist. Whedon could easily have been trying to make the show more inclusive of minorities while at the same time being a sexist.
