"it's got the aesthetics of downfall, with a bombed out, ruined germany, but the script of a Joss Whedon project. Endless quips, including 'gentlemen…welcome to nuremburg' to the nazi high command as they're led into prison."

"Must have actually got cancelled - become persona non grata at least for some time. Chris Brown wouldn't count, for example, because he never got cancelled - he just kept going. Joss Whedon would count - no one will work with him anymore."
"That's why we're reduced to squabbling over fucking Dr. Seuss, *Space Jam*, and Joss Whedon. It honestly feels incredibly r-slurred beyond measure."

"taking aesthetics and the arts seriously is a positive character trait in itself. anyone who thinks it's pretentious to value tarkovsky over joss whedon is clearly grappling with an inferiority complex"

"i only counted 5 joss whedon-esque corny one liners in the whole 3 hour 10 minute duration"

"Whedon ruined movie dialogue with the soy quippy sarcastic banter but that style of humor is not as insufferable in a show like Buffy. there are occasional moments of unfunny shit on par with ted lasso usually when Xander is on screen because he's whedon's self insert."
