      Arthur Chu Retweeted Dr. Aphra Behn

      It was so obvious It was both bad storytelling and, as they say, a bad look Like a lot of fans inclined to take his side couldn't deny he was acting badly here because he made it impossible to ignorehttps://twitter.com/Shaker_aphra/status/1359600954514038785 …

      Arthur Chu added,

      Dr. Aphra Behn @Shaker_aphra
      An observation: what Joss Whedon did with the character of Cordelia Chase was bad writing. It made no dramatic sense. It only makes sense as a petty, abusive punishment for Charisma Carpenter. The "brilliant creative" excuse shouldn't fly ANYWAY, but also: abuse made bad art.

      Art baldly imitating life Charisma Carpenter pissed him off irl by getting pregnant out of nowhere and ruining his plans So the character Cordelia suddenly gets pregnant out of nowhere and ruins everything and almost destroys the world etc

      I feel like "an actress getting pregnant while their character is not" is an unusual-but-not-unheard of situation for TV shows? Feels like an "It's not ideal but we can work with it" kind of situation.

      The disgusting thing about this is that actresses getting pregnant is something TV shows work around ALL THE TIME Joss' petulance over this was legendary He apparently went off about how it was beneath him - "corny sitcom where she's always standing behind something"

          (Which is a whole trope that WandaVision alluded to)

          A good example is The Office. Angela Kinsey was pregnant for almost a whole season early (S3 I think?) but I honestly couldn’t tell just by watching the show.

          Good writers can work with it. Usually by writing around it. Easy. Done.

          Not to mention the historical example of Lucy & Desi incorporating real life pregnancy into the show... Back when you couldn't even say the word pregnant.

          Well sure but the whole issue in this case is that his initial plans for the story didn't involve the character getting pregnant and when he "integrated" it into the show it got really ugly

          Serialized storytelling also HAS to account for the possibility of something happening with the actors. Sometimes plan need to change!

          The show is about magic and demons. He could have written the pregnancy into the show in sooooo many ways that weren't totally offensive and weird.

          If I ever wrote a sitcom I'd want to do a background joke at some point where we start shooting one of the (cis) male actors like he was pregnant for a few episodes without calling attention to it, just to see who catches on.

          When they do write the pregnancy in though there's a chance the actress has a miscarriage like Kirstie Alley on Cheers and Katey Segal on Married with Children. So now you have an actress dealing with this painful loss and the pregnancy has to be written away.

          Keep in mind Buffy was ending and Firefly was getting cancelled at the same time so I have to assume the thought process was also this story will get people watching to see how this all turns out so they went for the crazy soap opera option. It's the most serialized season.

          Realizing now how Little House on the Prairie ran for a decade due to Michael Landon coming up with the most sensational, melodramatic episode plots that Laura Wilder never would have imagined.
