Avengers was amazing.

I didn't think it was possible to satisfactorily distribute screentime between 4 superheroes in two hours, but Whedon pulled it off while ALSO making me care about Black Widow and Hawkeye. Not to mention having to deal with a recast, which is always tough.

With Cabin in the Woods and The Avengers, Joss Whedon is now my favorite human being ever.

Not to mention Buffy?

All the awesomeness of everything else, with the only thing constraining him being the show's budget.


But yes I completely agree. Whedon had the hardest job in Hollywood and he succeeded amazingly. He is the king right now.

Firefly (and Serenity)
Dr. Horrible
Buffy
Angel

If you haven't seen any of these, and have netflix, hurry up and watch them. Especially Firefly.

Also, I had no idea Whedon had anything to do with Cabin in the Woods. Guess I should check that out.

Watch Firefly first because it's short.

Wayyy shorter than it was meant to be.

Or just watch the shows in chronological order. Dollhouse is barely worth it though.

In October 2011, producer Kevin Feige said during the New York Comic Con, "Iron Man 3 will be the first of what we sort of refer to as phase two of this saga that will culminate, God willing, in Avengers 2".[189] In March 2012, Joss Whedon stated that he would want a sequel to be ". . . smaller. More personal. More painful. By being the next thing that should happen to these characters, and not just a rehash of what seemed to work the first time. By having a theme that is completely fresh and organic to itself."[190] At the premiere of The Avengers, Feige said they have an option for Whedon to direct The Avengers 2 when and if the time comes.[191]

If Joss Whedon doesn't direct Avengers 2 I will be so mad.

start with firefly. it's a fine show with flashes of excellence and, unfortunately, really short. serenity is a nice send-off, though

dollhouse sucks

his comics (mostly) suck

he can do wrong, and has in the past, but he's still a cool guy with some good and occasionally great ideas

Yeah, Dollhouse was pretty bad. And some of the seasons of Buffy and Angel were mediocre. But overall Whedon has had a lot more big successes than most people have:

- Buffy seasons 2 and 3 are incredible.
- Angel season 5 is outstanding.
- Firefly is probably the best single-season show ever.

Dollhouse only sucks at first, the last few episode of the first season are pretty good to great, and season 2 is actually REALLY good.

basically it seems like he had some really good ideas for the show but it should have just been a short series that focused on the plot that lasted 2, maybe 3 seasons instead of trying to do a regular show with MOTW episodes and the occasional plot every once in awhile.

Dollhouse was screwed by executive meddling. Hence the bad start.

Also, Joss Whedon directed Alien: Ressurrection, so he can't do no wrong. That wasn't really his fault though.

He didn't direct alien: resurrection, he wrote it. He claims it ended up being a lot different than his script, though, you can tell some of it is definitely classic whedon.

I really enjoyed Season 2 of Dollhouse (season 1 not so much) and his Astonishing X-men run was great. He is also the reason I got into Runaways, so while his run wasn't as good as what came before it, it was still solid.

And I don't know how many people here care about this but his next movie is a modern day Taming of the Shrew. I can't wait!

Dollhouse has an alternate opening episode or something that replaces like the first 6 or so terrible episodes.

I don't remember the exact details, but it's something like that. And I would watch the show that way. I stuck through the original airing only because it was Whedon, but there is a massive increase in quality part way through Season 1.

I give Avengers a 9.5/10.

Spoilers

The only problem I had with it was I felt like the human race could have saved themselves from that alien invasion. They weren't tremendously more powerful than humans.

The infantry was very vulnerable to attack. The hover crafts the infantry rode were fragile an underwhelming at best. Those "air snakes" would have been chump change for a couple of good fighter jets. The mothership got tanked by one nuclear bomb.

Loki was the only real threat in his whole army.

The Avengers saved some lives from death by war, but humans would have prevailed anyways, eventually.

buffy's first 4 seasons were great. Season 5 was better than 6 and 7 (which i thought were pretty bad honstly). But seasons 5, 6 and 7 all had problems. Or i should just say a major problem.

It didnt really bother me though, the later seasons of buffy mighta been meh, but around that same time (2001/2002) angel started becoming really good.

Firefly is great, everyone knows this though. Anyone who has watched firefly/serenity and hasnt checked out the anime outlaw star should imo. Surprisingly similar imo.

Dollhouse isnt that good, but its still watchable and better than most crap on tv these days
