As Sonny Bunch noted, there are people who think that this interview is favorable to Joss Whedon. Like Sonny, I heartily disagree with that stance. What comes across in the article is the portrait of a man who understands that he is in trouble, and more or less intellectually comprehends why, but still remains stubbornly certain that he really can’t be all that bad. Or, at least, he’s always been this bad; so what’s changed? Why has everything been taken from him now?

Joss Whedon drops Batgirl.
Why? Supposedly… “”Batgirl is such an exciting project, and Warners/DC such collaborative and supportive partners, that it took me months to realize I really didn’t have a story,” Whedon told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement.” No story? No story? Since when has ‘lacking a story’ been even a speed bump on the Hollywood journey? Continue reading Joss Whedon drops Batgirl.
Rumor: Joss Whedon to do Flash/Supergirl crossover musical?
I am… conflicted on this.
Take this with a massive grain of salt, but That Hashtag Show is claiming thatJoss Whedon will direct the two-part musical crossover between The Flashand Supergirl on The CW in the spring of 2017. I’m not familiar with That Hashtag Show and don’t know if they have an accurate and proven track record breaking stories like this, so I’m hesitant to believe it until we hear further confirmation from another source. But that being said, I think everyone can agree it would be really cool if this ended up being true.

The Avengers’ 200 million dollar opening this weekend is… well, it’s a thing. So much of a thing that it caused Jonah Goldberg to tweet “So, now that Joss Whedon is Hollywoods’s master now, can he please bring back Firefly?” Which is a darn good question.
Now, here’s the thing: I know things. For example, I know what the actual percentage of secret geeks is in politics, and it’s higher than you might think. I know it because people sidle up to me at political events and admit, yeah, they read comic books/game/play online RPGs/watch shows like Firefly. And I also know that Firefly resonates with people on my side of the political spectrum – much to Joss Whedon’s own bemusement, reportedly.

From this review of The Avengers*:
Who Would Win In A Fight: Thor Or The Hulk? Look, I’m a busy man; I don’t have time for this geek crap. And Hulk is the strongest there is.
Guess we know which comic books Pete Vonder Haar read, growing up.

*From what I’m hearing, Joss Whedon is looking good for having Hollywood bankroll whatever the heck he feels like directing next. But… from what I’ve seen, you get one Golden Ticket per mega hit, Joss. Spend it wisely.
Do not *do* this to me, Joss Whedon.
Not as cruel as having the entire cast

No Joss Whedon for Buffy Movie?
Yes, I’m late to this particular party; and yes, it was Joss Whedon’s own decision… still. Why precisely do they expect me to go watch it, without the cast OR the director?
Hey, fun game. Which was better: Once More, With Feeling
