He’s also admitted to sleeping with young women hoping to get cast on the show while he was still married. Amber Benson has also stated that the set was toxic because of Whedon, and Sophia Crawford and Jeff Pruitt have said both that he threatened their careers and said that Crawford could only stay on the show if she…

The part about Fisher you forgot to mention is that Warner’s did an in-house investigation and “addressed it.” And about ten seconds later Whedon was fired from his own show on HBO, The Nevers. Yeah there was definitely something to Ray Fisher’s allegations.
The tricky thing is that, as far as we know, the issue was the general atmosphere of favoritism, backbiting, and disrespect, rather than any big instances of bright-line harassment or criminality. If Joss was kind of manipulative shit to you on a low but persistent level, you can either just say “He was always kind of…
I’m not sure that’s where Whedon drew the line in terms of who to treat well and who to treat badly. One of his favorites, after all, was Alyson Hannigan, a) whom Joss pretty obviously would’ve liked to fuck if she’d have him, and b) who reportedly was allowed to tank Joss’s original plans for season 6 of Buffy by…
Or maybe he’s just a bully, and it wasn’t about being a sexual predator. In which case this is all we’re gonna get. Not every asshole is a monster.
You’re being insanely obtuse. Vader is terrified of Palpatine, that’s why he drops the Obi-Wan subject, but he’s not really over it. And, ultimately, Palpatine doesn’t want Vader to have his revenge because the dark side thrives on anger and hatred.
As you point out, we saw someone survive solely on revenge (and like…
What do you think they should do with her? I suppose she could join the Path and help them or something.
Morrison definitely wrote or at least suggested the ending. As fun as red son is, it’s nothing special beyond the well done sketch of the alternate dc universe. Red son is absolutely Millar’s best work. Jupiter’s legacy is a distant second for me, but almost entirely due to Frank Quitely.
Superman: Red Son. Who many people (including myself) still didn’t believe he wrote.
In one of the early editions of the collected graphic novel, there was a panel in which the main character, a boy in grade school, is supposedly wowing the teachers with his incredible knowledge, and the thing he tells them that blows them away is the quadratic formula.
Euphoria gets a lot of acclaim. I don’t think the explicitness of the material matters or is holding it back. But Zendaya is the main and her story is very big so of course it overshadows the rest.
Just a guess, but I’m assuming they were expanded after the Sokovia accords to investigate non-registered powered people.
Little of column A and little of column B.
“It’s simply his views” — You realize that’s worse right? It makes his callow bullying into outright bigotry and propaganda.
Noooope, they aren’t mean. It’s simply his views.
I should maybe give this show another chance. It totally lost me with the scene in S1 in which the old child killed people in the diner was scored to They Might Be Giants (and not even a deep cut). At the time it struck me as just more of that egregious brand of post-Invader Zim/Hot Topic wacky “random” emo/goth/scene…
I know what camp is!
It’s good to see this show getting attention from here after this place completely missed the mark on it at the first go.
Okay nope I’m stopping you right there on that Ranker article. Gay pirate history is supremely complicated as pirates themselves rarely knew how to write so primary sources are rare. Best we have are newspapers and trial transcripts which aren’t exactly going to be fair to the pirate. A couple pirates were tried for…
