Some filmmakers see movies as an art form and just fumble their way to fame and fortune. Others see them as a product
Scorsese strikes me as the former, Josh whedon, the latter.
Ehh, I know Joss Whedon has turned out to be a massive prick and I don't like how his overall style has come to be so influential to commercial nerd-bait slop today, but he is/was a genuine writer and artist. He did push the artistic form of television forward with Buffy, Angel, and Firefly.
I actually liked his style of dialogue before it became just how everyone talks in media for a while.
Yeah me too. I think a lot of the writers who imitate his style accentuate the more annoying aspects of it.
Aaron Sorkin did it first. Whedon pared it with more likeable characters and accessible settings
Everyone forgets about Dollhouse.
Lmao I just learned that “Josh whedon” is the guy from god’s not dead
I don't think this would be a controversial take lol
Tbh I didn’t know that joss whedon did anything but marvel
Probably could’ve used better examples but the general point still stands imo
