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?

Admit it. You'd troll a White Man fan forum.

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

White Man will troll anything, which honestly dulls the effectiveness of his trolls.

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.

nah nah its all trolling. I just shut my ears off when I hear negative stuff these days. Troll evasion!

Firefly and Serenity are great.

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

I've started watching Firefly on Universal HD every Sunday, it's pretty great.

I only watched Serenity and while it wasn't perfect it was really really good.

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.

Whedon should stick to comics, since I hate most of/all of his other work... $:-\$

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.

Serentiy got a B+

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #15 on:** October 03, 2006, 01:50:20 PM »

B+ is the new A+

Buffy seasons 1-5

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #19 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.

TVC15 · « **Reply #20 on:** October 03, 2006, 01:57:27 PM »

6 had some good funny episodes. And some of the worst episodes ever.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #21 on:** October 03, 2006, 02:03:38 PM »

You didnt like the GRINDING IN THE DANCE CLUB WHILE WATCHING FRIENDS episode?

The first three and half seasons were great, after that it was a mix of $:-\$ :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( $:-\$ :'( :'( :'(

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.

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.

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.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #28 on:** October 03, 2006, 02:46:36 PM »

"Angel" was awesome. It dropped the Dawson Creek shit Buffy had going on and went for a more violent and visceral approach.

Bacon · « **Reply #29 on:** October 03, 2006, 03:51:52 PM »

Buffy and Angel are cool if you don't have a penis.
