I think we just have to take total custody of Buffy, Angel, and Firefly.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

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.

Lindsey Ellis has an interesting video this week on her Youtube channel about The Death of the Author. It's in relation to JKR and her transphobia, but could just as easily apply to Joss.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Surely that is a done deal of long standing, Cindy

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
A friend asked if they could borrow my copy of Firefly: A Celebration, and I've told him "Hey, sure, keep it as long as you'd like". Not quite "It's got Whedon cooties on it and I twitch a little when I see it on the shelf", but . . . .

"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
Yeah... after the recent social media stuff about SMG's daughter being introduced to Buffy I briefly felt an urge to rewatch some of the highlights, then considered the problematic issues with Joss and decided to wait til those scars have faded a bit.

What is even happening?
I hadn't subscribed to this thread, so I missed your post about Joss exiting The Nevers, msbelle. I just happened upon it, while looking at Deadline to see where The West Wing will land when it leaves Netflix on Christmas Eve (answer: HBO Max).
Anyhow, I kind don't know what to make of Joss's wordy statement, in light of the terse one from HBO.
“We have parted ways with Joss Whedon. We remain excited about the future of The Nevers and look forward to its premiere in the summer of 2021,” a HBO spokeswoman said in a statement Wednesday.
“This year of unprecedented challenges has impacted my life and perspective in ways I could never have imagined, and while developing and producing The Nevers has been a joyful experience, I realize that the level of commitment required moving forward, combined with the physical challenges of making such a huge show during a global pandemic, is more than I can handle without the work beginning to suffer,” Whedon noted.
“I am genuinely exhausted, and am stepping back to martial my energy towards my own life, which is also at the brink of exciting change. I am deeply proud of the work we have done; I’m grateful to all my extraordinary cast and collaborators, and to HBO for the opportunity to shape yet another strange world. The Nevers is a true labor of love, but after two plus years of labor, love is about all I have to offer. It will never fade,” he added.
I feel like the HBO statement would be a little less curt, were this just a case of Joss being exhausted. I'm wondering if it's more a case of him being exhausting.
