I call this "jingling the car keys".
When a baby is about to cry, you jingle keys at it so it giggles, claps and forgets why it was sad/scared.
Every time a writer undercuts drama, tragedy or fear with a stupid quip, they're jingling keys at the audience like they're babies.
He destroyed cinema
>jokes are bad because....because....they just ARE okay!!?!!?!?1

>wanna go out sometime to hangout ?
Judging by your improper use of a contraction, you probably live in some kind of Slav country.
Say "let people enjoy things" next!
when did ironic redditposting become a thing? it really sucks
You think baitposting is new, zoomer?
this style of writing was always popular. watch MASH and moonlight
whedon got a bad deal
no one should've been surprised this basedboy archetype who casted hot chicks in his shows was a perv
it's also not his fault that marvel and everyone else took his quippy style, fired him, then got a bunch of significantly worse writers to run it into the ground in all forms of media
firefly is good
avengers was alright for a first of its kind team-up capeshit
WAKE ME UP
(CAN'T WAKE UP)
can you not?
nice dubs
also the first time I saw this image it was allegedly a list of shit phrases NOT to use on workaholics.
In hindsight the stuff that got him drummed out of the industry was relatively minor compared to what other people routinely get away with it (not even on par with Louis CK jerking off in front of people), but Whedon is so annoying that I don't really care
He got in trouble in a boring HR investigation by WBs law firm over intimidation which then reinvestigated charisma carpenter’s allegations of shitty management.
He probably is a legal risk in an executive role and was so bad to work for Ben Affleck turned down taking over for Snyder in future projects in that cinematic universe. That’s is why he was fired, he probably could still have a career as a tighter/ executive producer with minimal control over employees.
It was his weird interview where he claimed he had to cheat on his wife because of Fomo that ruined his appeal with his fans. He really wasn’t cancelled, just side lined for being a terrible manager then he went out and acted insane. He had a show on HBO.
>By 2020, production was completed on five episodes before being shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, only resuming in September of that year to complete six of the season's ten-episode order.[214][215] On November 25, 2020, HBO announced that Whedon had exited the project.[216]
Heh
It’s not the first time he has been canned for being an butthole either. He was black listed for being difficult after his dramatic nonsense with the Angel renegotiations and fighting with fox execs on the firefly set. He is literally shit talking Sarah Michelle Gellar as the film the behind the scenes stuff on firefly, and their animosity lead to her not renewing her contract with the WB.
Eliza Dushku got him back working as she had a three show deal with fox as an executive producer and wanted him to write Doll house to get him working again.
Don't forget that he got fired from the MCU after Age of Ultron because he butted heads with RDJ.
He was the reason Chris Pine and Chris Evan’s almost walked and he bickered With Scar Jo too
Yeah. This is what forced Feige's hand into basically paying a very lucrative renegotiation deal to ALL the Avengers actors, not just RDJ. Because otherwise they'd all walk way because Whedon was that much of an butthole.
So he cost the big wigs lots of money.
I say the worst thing is his lazy direction infected the Marvel cinematic brand. He isn’t a cinematographer and sets up his shots to be easy to direct with minimal camera work. He was literally so bad at it when he started in Buffy that he had to rely on Sarah Machelle Gellar‘s help. She grew up on the daytime soap sets and would help him with the direction and show running before their falling out.
I wonder if the contract renegotiations cost all the profits his movies made lol
>he had to cheat on his wife because of Fomo
Eh, I see where he was coming from.
Yeah but you haven’t spent 2 decades in academic literature circles talking about feminism in pop culture.
He made a brand out of loving and respecting his wife and then shit on it.
He is fricking boring as a director: without angles, without light management, you quickly realize that he is a television director.I didn't know that he and rdj had fought? How was that shit? Rdj is a diva but the mcu lasted a long time because of him. How the hell do you fight with someone like him?
SAVE ME
What are these?
Common cliches that his writing staff were told to avoid.
>told to avoid
Half of them they used and the other half they just slightly modified before using.
>his
These were written by Anders Holm
>his
No.
Someone tell me what those boards are?
100% unadulterated pure onions
are bad because....because....they just ARE okay!!?!!?!?1
>>me like sad because me smart!!!
>I bet you're fun at parties, OP
That's a pretty good philosophy, and you can test it quite easily by watching a joyless, humourless film like Smile.
i liked buffy
Ruined Titan AE
Ruined Alien resection
Got Buffy and Angel cancelled for being a dick to both the execs and the main star.
Got fired from Marvel
Got Fired from WB
But this audience
>is
anon. We are beneath children intellectually and in some cases (fat) physically as well.
why you mad tho?
He had built up a stock of epic sci-fi TV ensembles and then burned it all to the ground.
Sci-fi television will take years decades even to recover.
Probably turned off a whole generation of qt3.14 actresses from the genre.
He needs to be tried for crimes.
to what end are thou'st aggravated nonetheless?
whats yo shit all fricked up for homie?
>Quips bad
>One liners good
Unironically yes.
How many teeth have you lost?
But why should you shout when the other person is right next to you?
>guy writes movie dialogue to be enjoyable so you will have a good time watching the movie
>FRICK YOU WHEDON YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO MAKE ME HURT INSIDE
why are people so edgy? jesus fricking christ
moron nobody's saying don't write enjoyable dialogue for god's sake learn to read Holy shit why am I here with you dunces you are so lazy and stupid fricking hell
ok chud
Le chuddywuddy
I find it funny because people originally unironically believed that Buffy was well-written because all the characters genuinely talked like common teenager Valley girls. They found it refreshing and relatable. Finally teenager characters acting like teenagers.
Then Whedon continued to write every fricking character like that.
Why choose the worst when you can have the best?
Correct.
are you frazzled? RIP
My whole identity is based around things I hate because I'm 13 years old. Frick Marvel. Frick Transformers. Frick Taylor Swift. I'm a true artist and evolved past the taste of normies and redditors.
Are you me?
>Frick Taylor Swift
YES
Has anyone seen Age of Ultron with the director's comments? An anon who saw it said that he noticed Whedon sad and crestfallen, as if he no longer wanted to continue making movies.It seems that the poor performance of the film ended up breaking him inside
He's so talented. I liked that one Buffy character that said snarky and sarcastic things.
