In Joss's own words on some fansite dedicated to him. Jeez, how pathetic do you have to be to troll the comments section of a website dedicated to you?

Of course, but I wouldn't use my own name! That would be the perfect venue to safely express my deep self-hatred.

Patently untrue. I like Firefly, minus the shitty last episode. It's probably my favorite bit o' Whedon. I also relented on trolling VP2 once I realized the game got better once you fiddled with the battle system enough. I'm always willing to change my opinion. Serenity was a poopie movie not fit enough to sniff the leavings of Firefly. It's not good on its own because it's an uneven, pacing nightmare.

To each his own, but there's plenty to honestly dislike about Serenity.

The rest of Whedon's work blows, except for the Buffy movie.

Post by: Cheebs on October 03, 2006, 07:42:09 AM: Firefly+Serenity was great. It had closure, I am fine with that. I am interested to see his Wonder Woman more than a potential Serenity 2 at this point.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on October 03, 2006, 01:38:04 PM: I really dug Serenity and Firefly. Serenity DID have a few wank shots -- the silly rolling long shot was Joss at his most masturbatory -- but as action entertainment, it was ace.

They ditched the western-y soundtrack of the series and they included sound effects in the horribly conceived epis space scenes. :(

Post by: MrAngryFace on October 03, 2006, 01:55:32 PM: Haha, no one likes Seasons 6 (freaky sex) and Season 7 (Slayer Club)

I still like Angel the best, Wesley turned so hardcore, and faith was in season 4 rockin shit up then season 5 was omg awesome and the season finale was hardcore.

The first three and half seasons were great, after that it was a mix of :-\ :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( ::) ::) ??? ??? ??? :o >:( >:( :D :'( :'( :-* :'( :-* :-[ :-\ :-X :-X :-X :'( :'( :'( ::) ::) ::) ::) ??? :lol :( :( >:(

I think 4 is very underrated. I think for the most part, they did a fine job of moving the show out of high school. Instead of finding a new "hub" like the library so the same formula could be used, the characters changed a bit, and it mostly worked. Really, the horrible Adam stuff and the worst of the initiative is restricted to the last quarter (or less) of the season. IIRC, the main eps featuring Adam are the last 2 or 3.

Season 5 was also very well handled, but once Buffy's mom died, the show sank into a horrible emo pit that it never managed to recover from.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on October 03, 2006, 02:26:08 PM: I prefer Angel to Buffy by a huge margin. I've never liked high school as a setting, but I get a big ol' monster boner for private investigation episodal content.

Post by: MrAngryFace on October 03, 2006, 02:35:01 PM: I like how in Smallville Season 5 the back of the box says:

HOW DOES CLARK DEAL WITH A FULL LOAD OF COLLEGE CLASSES AND BEING WHO HE IS?!?!

When in reality he only attends one class and its taught by an evil villain lolz.
