Interesting article. Werthead Send a noteboard - 16/10/2009 08:07:47 PM
Seriously though, I agree with every word he says here, except about Dollhouse, of which I have only seen the first 3 episodes, & Dr. Horrible, which I only saw about 5 minutes of. Absolutely every word throughout the rest of the review, I wholeheartedly support. I have NEVER read an entertainment article I have agreed with more.


I know a lot of women who are very annoyed with Whedon's proclamations of being a feminist because he has female characters who kick ass (but only if they have magical powers, or a huge gun) and apparently that's all you need.

I also do wonder about the idea that if FIREFLY had gone on any further he'd have also ruined what was great about that show. Apparently he was already considering killing off Inara at the time the show ended, and obviously he killed Wash just for the hell of it.

Penny's death in DR HORRIBLE may work if it sets up the sequel properly, but as it stands as the ending to a one-off special it comes across as rather pointless.

I do like Whedon's shows, on the whole, but he definitely has some weird ideas at times.

(by which I mean a bunch of typing that somehow turned into 1.5 moderately relevant comments.) *NM* nossy - 16/10/2009 07:25:07 PM 180 Views
Well he does cite Firefly as the superior show. Cannoli - 16/10/2009 09:01:01 PM 601 Views

I agree with Seriana. nossy - 17/10/2009 05:42:33 AM 427 Views
I didn't say she was wrong or that feminists are right, I just presented what their position'd be Cannoli - 18/10/2009 12:11:25 AM 583 Views

So the guy hates Whedon as much as some love him. Craig - 16/10/2009 08:44:39 PM 378 Views
Actually, it suggests he likes Whedon's work, but hates Whedon's posturing & fan excesses. *NM* Cannoli - 16/10/2009 09:02:03 PM 231 Views
I thought that through the first half or so of the article. Craig - 16/10/2009 11:53:34 PM 372 Views
As far as I can have an opinion on them, I agree with all of his points *NM* ironclad - 16/10/2009 09:50:30 PM 204 Views
