I can hear it now, having been told he wrote it, as a JW line--but at the time it felt more like a line specifically written for Keanu.
Maybe Whedon is not as bad as a writer, as people nowadays say, that he is? Just an idea. ^^
Whedon was a great writer in his television prime. Most of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and all of Firefly demonstrate that conclusively. Whatever failings he may have as a human being are neither here nor there with regard to his creative accomplishments.
LOL--I haven't heard anyone criticize his writing. Maybe his Justice League effort--but it is a whole other issue that people have with him right now.
Yeah, but people seem to be unable to separate the writer from the A-hole. And granted, that is tricky.
There is a certain amount of negative revisionism that has gone on in recent years. Check out the "Honest Trailers" for BtVS, for example -- it's virtually all sneer and snark for a show that was almost universally beloved by geek fandom (i.e., the kind of folks who produce "HT") until Whedon became persona non grata.
People were very critical of his Wonder Woman script too

One of the great pop culture white whales has been Joss Whedon's Wonder Woman script. Turns out? That script was just bad. And also hella sexist.

When I saw Clooney show up at his foundation for "The Clooney Foundation for Justice" I thought "That is a real life Bruce Wayne". Even the foundation made me think "The Bruce Wayne foundation for justice" charity event
The silver hair makes him look even more like his father Nick, who was my favorite local news anchor in my youth and a work acquaintance of my father (who was also in broadcasting).
Mine was genuine. You did a good job at explaining what you see in the movie.

And "they have ruined the character!"
I don't think I've seen anyone call him a bad writer, a horrible person, but not a bad writer.
Yeah, he had some very strange ideas for his Wonder Woman movie. I when I first heard about what was in it, that it seemed hard to believe it was from the same guy who had worked on shows like Buffy.People were very critical of his Wonder Woman script too

Yeah can we not give the time of day to that grifter?
Billion dollar movies at that.
