Joss Whedon, the most overrated man in Hollywood.

[Real]

Forced comedic situations that weren't a result of the plot, corny wack ass self aware dialog, overly long action sequences, which numbed you to the great VFX.

That Avengers? About the only scene I enjoyed in the entire snooze fest is when they lured the Hulk in. Because it was a clever piece of screenwriting. And the dialogue was clever without being too ham handed. There is not one other memorable scene in the entire movie.

I remember reading about the scene where we are introduced to the Black Widow and thinking

And then I saw it on screen

He fukked it with corny dialogue.

Wow. U say that as if ur opinion was the majority

So your THAT guy, :notsure:

I'd say he thrives in television where he able to completely flesh out an entire story arc.

Angel is a great fukkin show, one of my favorites. He handled that show perfectly.

people who think the Avengers was corny have just been brainwashed by all the overly serious, dark, brooding and dramatic superhero flicks that have come out over the years.

they're so used to heroes being "conflicted" with tortured souls that a simple, fun, movie with clear good guys and clear bad guys seems corny. Avengers is a comic book movie in the truest sense of the word. not every superhero flick has to take itself so seriously. considering the fact that they're grown men dressed in costumes, it's actually kind of ridiculous how serious recent comic book films have been. and this is coming from someone who thinks The Dark Knight is the GOAT superhero flick. but Avengers is a dope movie, and still probably the best experience I've had at a movie theater as far as crowd interaction.

no, not really. and how exactly am I (since I thought avengers were corny) being brainwashed by movies anyway ?

I cant speak for anyone else, but my problem with avengers isnt that its not dark or serious. thats a non-issue, really.

I will say that I dont really fukk with comics like that besides turtles back in the day...so superheroes arent really my cup of tea...so I judge those movies on what they are...not what they imply to die hard fans

i have no clue how cabin in the woods got such great reviews.

i turned that trash off 30 min in.. was so wack to me

 

[Grand Conde]

I thought avengers was a corny movie with very good actors. just cliches on top of one another tbh.

imo xmen first class >>>>>>>>>>> avengers

which is a shame because the acting potential of avengers blows xmen out of the water.

so I agree whedon is not a terribly good big movie director

BUT...firefly is possibly the best sci-fi series of all time tho. buffy prolly the best teenage tv series.

just off firefly alone, which is a masterpiece, whedon cannot be considered overrated imo

Battlestar Galactica >>>>>>

But yeah, the OP is wrong. I mean Whedon is overrated but he still makes decent to good films/TV.

Also lets not ignore the OP using Whedon's greatest failures in an attempt to prove his point.

The fukk is wrong with yall. It was much much much much much better than the TDR

How is whedon overrated when you will rarely see him on top 10 lists or even mentioned with the best of them? Especially in film.

That's all you had to say. Your opinion is null in this thread.

Ill take firefly over bsg

That's all you had to say. Your opinion is null in this thread.

you are an idiot if you think only people who are huge fans of comics can enjoy or evaluate movies that are based on comic books.

and this thread is about joss whiden being overrated. it has nothing do with comics.

sounds like you are a butthurt comics lover

Dude practically has his own cult. Has thousands upon thousands of fanboys that think he is the greatest thing to TV/films ever.
