Christ >.> I didn't say it was his fault... I know he couldn't help it and that lots of people liked it, but a show is still a fias(c/k?)o if it can't have a longer run, no matter who's fault it is.HG131 said:
Joss Whedon Officially Directing The Avengers
- Thread starter Greg Tito
- Start date
As said above, Whedon wrote at least one draft for the film, but it was then taken and rewritten and adapted by other writers and various editing and creative processes. I think it is naive to measure his worth as a writer on Alien 4, a film in a series now known for studio meddling and disgruntled creative staff (Alien 3 and Alien 4). Fox is the thorn in Whedon's side. It's a studio notorious for meddling and manipulating projects. Alien 4 was bad because it was, like the theatrical realease of Alien 3, trully a camel - a horse designed by a committee.Mechalemmiwinks said:
Hm, I guess you're right. Nathan was rumored for Ant-Man though, which would be nice.. Not sure about the Adrien Brody rumors though.. D:HG131 said:
And yes, Summer Glau is indeed quite amazing. I got to meet her and chat last month!
And Eliza Dushku.. And Dichen Lachman.. And Charisma Carpenter.. Oh, and Lou Ferrigno (the ORIGINAL Hulk).Joss whedon made a name for himself to me when he made firefly/serenity
bacicly a series about a team
and he did it WELL really WELL and sucessfully made one of my favorite movies
and avengers is nothing but a team movie and i believe Whedon is one of the better directors they can pick
also this will enebitably make money and it might give whedon an excuse to get the team together and give firefly a third try
though they will lose points for the omition of

And one could be me. If I find AU-me, I will have no choice but to challenge him to a battle to the death for nerd supremacy. I suggest we all prepare to do the same.HG131 said:
Fox does have a history of cancelling good shows for things that they caused themselves.Ulquiorra4sama said:
Hehe, I watched Dollhouse all they way through and I'd have to disagree with you on that one. It got significantly better in the second season but a majority of the series was filler and wasn't moving anywhere. Now this is arguably Fox's fault, but it still killed the overall structure of the plot. So I think it falls pretty solidly in the fail category.HG131 said:
That being said though, the concept was an awesome idea and there were several individual episodes that were complete win. Most notably Epitaph One, Epitaph Two, The Attic, and almost any episode with Alpha in it. Also Enver Gjokaj performance in some episodes really stood out.
In the end though, I (and most the TV watching world) will always remember it for taking way too much time to find it's footing and stumbling into a deadly pit of falling ratings. This is one of the few series that Fox has canceled on me that I really can't blame them for.
Enver and Dichen both single-handedly made that show awesome for me. Their acting skills are paramount. Hell, anyone catch Dichen's NCIS: LA episode or Enver's Lie To Me episode? Both were brilliant hours of television goodness. Personally, "A Spy In The House Of Love" was one of my all-time favorite Dollhouse eps. Andrew Chambliss wrote it too, quite skillfully. "The Attic" was also neat, if only for Reed Diamond..Brok3n Halo said:

Are you saying Joss is a good director? What do you call Doll House, then..?
If THAT.. is featured in the Avengers movie, I will lose all hope. Every bit of hope. Every. Single. Drop.MattAn24 said:
An overall good show that was unfortunate enough to be broadcast on Fox, a channel with a history of screwing over good shows in any way possible, including one of Joss's own?BarbaricGoose said:
I cannot imagine this ending well.
Couldn't they sign on the guy who directed Kickass? They have proven good at adapting Millar's work. Whedon would probably inject that patented quirkyness that just wouldn't work here.
Ultimate Cap disapproves.
