That guy who wrote Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy.
Arguably yes, but Hitchhiker's Guide is still great and it's more allowed to do that sort of thing because it's primarily a comedy. The main problem with the three writers in the OP is that they primarily do action-adventure capeshit, but insert the humour anyways and, what's more, aren't too funny though I think Joss in his prime was good at least
No. Pratchett's humour never got in the way of the serious moments. It's an important part of his style, but it was never used to deflate any honest drama or undermine his own work with lazy, self-aware digs at its expense (he'd poke fun at the genre and cliches, but not himself)
And again, Pratchett's actually funny and clever
>joss in his prime
I agree, dr horrible and the original iron man are still great
Dan bawdt
Mark Twain
No anon Mark Twain's actual stories and writings were just fine, if you want to complain look at his standup routines instead
Well, define "reddit" in this case.
Constant self aware quips and humor especially in situations to deflate any tension.
Joss Whedon
oh that comes from at least the 1930s
blame Frank Capra
Whedon
By that definition, I’d say joss whedon
Full metal alchemist
I'm gonna say Whedon.
I hate everyone that writes similarly: Bendis, Slott, Fraction, King, Taylor, BKV, Adams, etc.
Yeah, manga is pretty bad with this shit too.
It came from fallout
Do elaborate, please.
*fallout 4 and NV
No, it existed before then.
And if you say fallout 1 and 2 are reddit you should be gangbanged by supermutants and strung up on a tree for your ignorance.
Sup Eric July
Whedon? I mean Buffy existed and was popular wayyy before the other 2 homosexuals started making waves.
You comic gays give yourselves too much credit.
bendis
Bendis is the worst thing that ever happened to a lot of comics book characters
You're thinking of Dan DiDio.
bald guys should not be trusted
Warren Ellis
out of those three, Whedon. Bendis' atrociously redundant dialogues are the worst though
Whedon sort of kicked off the latest wave of this shit. Also he’s a c**t.
>the big monster roars in the main characters' faces
>"Whoa dude, say it, don't spray it!"
The problem with capeshit is that it's deathly afraid of appearing sincere about anything. Everything has to be laughed off with a sardonic quip. If the characters aren't invested in the conflict, why should the audience?
This is why I always hated Whedon. The only type of protagonist he knows how to write is "douchy smug butthole"
Meh, it also depends on the character who would act like that used to be just that, a single character who often functioned as a deliberate juxtapose to the more seriously afraid ones around him.
Like Dante from Devil May Cry or Ash Williams. That kind of character only really works if everything else is presented sincerely
Yes, but even every character acts like that it's annoying
the idea of a character not taking something seriously is fine, it’s just annoying when everyone is that character
Adolf Hitler.
Joss Whedon's fault, 100%
>Scarlett Johanson cries about her money
>Whedon becomes Dobson
why wouldn't you want to deflate tension in a story unless you have a criminally short attention span and want every movie to be a perpetual action scene without any background or resolution. fricking learn to write.
Terry Pratchett
Dan Harmon
It's called Whedon speak
tolkien
>We should go through the mines of moria
>Are you hitting on me?
Whedon. Bendis was just comic Whedon, ergo more affordable and worked for less money. Slott is his own brand of whatever, but he's way too much Saturday Morning stuff to be anywhere near Bendispeak.
Guy on YouTube called ShreddedNerd made a great video calling it "Millennial Writing" and he points the blame at Twitter addicts in general
I'm okay with humor being used as a tool to get the character's mind off potential impending doom. If the characters are clearly nervous and trying to make themselves feel better about the situation, it can work but they certainly shouldn't do that ON the battlefield, before or after the fight is fine.
But modern writers have no idea how to write that convincingly, they just ruin the tension by making the characters look "2cool4school" like Whedon does.
Bump
Why? The question was answered.
