Right, the thing about people remembering Whedon as a scrappy little underdog with Buffy is that it's in relative terms - he was born to Hollywood royalty and an established screenwriter for years when he finally got the chance to do Buffy as his passion projecthttps://twitter.com/benjanun_s/status/1373321336005611520 …

It's shocking in hindsight how blatantly he played favorites and did the whole stereotypical sleazy Svengali "I *made* you in this town, toots" producer shit And people were okay with it because he did it in a lovable nerdy way

Wasn't the Buffy TV show mostly important because there just wasn't that much genre stuff on network tv back in the late 90s, so people into that thing would just attach to basically anything?

I used to see people talk about how he had a bunch of shows cancelled out from under him really abruptly, before they could get going, but that only happened once with Firefly? And then he got to make Serenity.

That really applies more to his collaborator Tim Minear than to him

if I recall Whedon didn’t direct the movie, right? But I also remember him talking about Donald Sutherland so he must’ve been on set as well.

Ah right I misremembered that, they thought, reasonably, the project needed a woman director and got Fran Kuzui to direct it But he was still around bitching about how people weren't reading his words right
