I don't champion Joss Whedon. Joss Whedon have done utter tripe, as I've acknowledged earlier in this thead. (Dollhouse, Alien: Ressurection). I enjoy his writing, as does anyone who knows anything about screenwriting. It's sharp, it's smart, and the dialogue flows very well. He's not one of the best out there, not anywhere near. I could probably list over thirty other people I put above him. What annoys me is when people try to pass personal opinion as fact, it's always annoyed me. You can check the pet hates thread for reference a ton of times, also the film you've recently watched thread. I appreciate good work, even if I personally enjoy it or not. And I f***ing can't stand when people try to say something is s*** just because they're not fond of it, when if you look at the basis of everything said person have done and his achievments, it's personal opionion being passed off as fact. It's like trying to argue that Star Wars is absolute s*** because it takes place in outer space, or that Lord of the Rings is utter s*** because there's dwarves in it and you really, really[/i], don't like dwarves.
You all know just how much I hate Glee, I absolutely despise that show. But that doesn't change the fact that the show deep down is a smart, well written, show that takes advantage of what the market at current wants. The same goes for the show "The Vampire Diaries". I really, really, can't stand that show. But I still acknowledge that it's done in a way that appeales to it's audience, and have a very talented showrunner in Kevin Williamson behind it.
