On Joss Whedon Fandom... [link]
Kaylee: H-how did you... g-get on...? Early: Strains the mind a bit, don't it? You think you're all alone. Maybe I come down the chimney, Kaylee. Bring presents to the good girls and boys.

Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.

#1 is pretty harsh, but I can't say I disagree with this:
Once More With Feeling shouldn't be a goddamn Rocky Horror Picture Show.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Haaaa, the Mortal Kombat graphic is made of win. The Pokémon card is pretty great too.
It's overly harsh, as expected, but not all wrong.

All is well that ends in pizza.
"Fathead" Roberts is such a troll.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
focus solely on badly-written fanfic fantasies for frantic bean-flicking, their stories swapped between shawl-wearing, cat-owning knitting enthusiasts squeeling until their lungs burst on LiveJournal.
EXCUSE ME? Listen, douchebag, I don't think you should be questioning Joss' feminist cred without taking a long, hard look in the mirror. Or should I just assume that you're a smelly fanboy sitting in your mom's basement, with a Barberalla poster on the wall for your wanking pleasure?
*ahem* Sorry, hit a nerve. Not that Joss' isn't a total SNAG, but pot-kettle.

Well, Steph, you know that MMV on this. But hey, not all successful musicals are actually that great. I personally think Miss Saigon is a pile of steaming crap.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I did detect a definite whiff of "Only Joss' shows about male protagonists are any good, because I can't identify with a lead character who doesn't have a penis."

I took the whole thing with a grain of salt, because he thinks Angel and FF were Joss's two best shows, and I just, well you know about me and Buffy.
That said, I laughed out loud during much of it. Perhaps because I was wearing an afghan around my shoulders while reading it. No. Really.
Also, over the years it has dawned on me that I am much more of a Buffy (and Angel) fan than I am a Joss fan.
I see truth in all five of the bulleted points, if not all the blather beneath each, but then, I never thought of us as his most vocal fans. I mean there's vocal, and then there's some of them.

This morning I saw one of those fancy changing billboards advertising Dollhouse tonight. ("Tonight" was even in really big letters.) I've never seen the billboard promote Dollhouse before.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
But hardcore Whedonites? They are to Trekkies what the Nation of Islam were to the Civil Rights movement.
I actually think this sentence is offensive. WTF?

Always Anti-fascist!
Douchebag, heal thyself.(Not y'all, him) And every showrunner tries to find someone to blame. Except maybe Milch, but he talks about "humility" because he's on a Program of some sort. Personally, I like the sing-alongs. Nobody has to, but I don't get the vitriol...it doesn't harm anyone, doesn't actively take points from IQ scores or lower worldwide sperm counts...as Keith Olbermann said on a far more significant occasion "What's it to you?"
