Only Joss Whedon can save the MCU


Bring him back!

The Avengers was great. Age of Ultron only so-so. I'd put Whedon's MCU run on about the same level as Taika Waititi's. Ragnarok is excellent, Love and Thunder so-so.

Jon Watts, the Russo Brothers, and James Gunn are the directors who were consistently great in the MCU. I'd also put Jon Favreau in there, but I like Iron Man 2 more than many seem to.

Shane Black is the one who made a pretty bad film, Iron Man 3, but whose work in general I adore and would love to see get another crack at a film.

J.J. Adams is the guy who hasn't done an MCU film that I think could throw down a dope trilogy.

Joe Dante would probably create something great if he were given the chance.

"J.J. Adams is the guy who hasn't done an MCU film that I think could throw down a dope trilogy."

If you want to see him replicate an already existing trilogy, then maybe.

Though "dope" won't be the word for it, more like "dupe."

Clearly you dislike him, but it's hard to argue with his results Nearly everything he's done has been excellent.

I don’t think you saw Star Wars 7 and 9.

reply

Star Wars 7 is excellent. With 9, he was given an impossible task and did about as well anyone could have done.

reply

Toy Story, Avengers movies, Buffy and Firefly! I miss his work. Such a talented writer and director. Not many know this, if you make a web search, large part of the script for the movie Speed was mostly rewritten by Joss and was uncredited.

Joss Whedon sucks

reply

Either him or the Russo brothers.

Because he saved Justice Leauge? Oh wait 😁😁😁

He's an America-hater and capitalist-hater.

FJW.

reply

His works are very America-centric though and he often stereotyped other nations

reply

Of course. He knows that capitalism will make him the most money.

He's a hypocrite of the worst kind.

Whedon's work was good. The Russo brothers were better. They consistently made great films - "Captain America, The Winter Soldier", "Captain America, Civil War", Avengers: Infinity War" and Avengers Endgame".

I think they simply need to take a 10 Year break from Superhero movies and come up with a new idea to reel moviegoers in
