I find his style cringey and out of date. Plus he wasn't just a dick. He was championed as this great writer of women and a feminist in Hollywood while treating his stars like shit.

It's also hard for me to not see how he directed for the male gaze. If there are boobs, they're low cut with some jiggle. (Ex: In The Avengers, there's a woman that Cap saves. She gushes to a reporter afterwards. The scene that establishes her as a character who met Cap earlier? That was cut, but he kept the boob shots.)

Adam Baldwin may be worse but we are talking a paycheck for voicework compared to, say, showrunner status for Whedon.

That actress with the reporter is Ashley Johnson. Chrissy from Growing Pains, and Ellie's VA in The Last of Us.

I know that's not really relevant to what you're getting at.

I actually really appreciate that!

I love giving credit where it's due, especially to smaller roles.

If that changes your perspective on this show, Tudyk and Fillon among don't mind praising him in a personal level right now. They have a podcast together I found recently and in the last show they invited another common friends of his.

I don't follow what happened, I don't really care much about who's who on the media (except when the fucking critical drinker appeared in an audiobook), but I was surprised after all the negative feeling I've seen

I don't wanna judge those with personal relationships with Whedon. Everyone is free to have their viewpoint, especially when they have history together.

Plus I still rewatch some of his stuff. I'm not perfect either.

..the editor, you mean? Your best example is something someone else did?
