That was partly bc he bet the farm on Eliza Dushku though and she can't really play anything other than Tough Girl

It's mind boggling that the whole idea of that show rested on the manifestly false idea that Eliza Dushku is a chameleon

Anyway yes he had that feud w the stunt coordinator on Buffy who said he was shitty to stunt ppl even though they made half his show for him

Specifically his girlfriend was Gellar's stunt double and arguably played Buffy more than she did and got shafted pay and credit wise

He got lots of heat for saying Gellar was an awful prima donna to everyone else on set and Whedon indulged her bc he has a weird daddy thing
