The Works of Joss Whedon

Article Archive

Films

  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
    • This first attempt at bringing Whedon's character Buffy to the screen was fun and silly but lacked the spark of what was soon to come.
  • Alien: Resurrection
    • Ripley is back, via the magic of mumbjo-jumbo and hand-waved sci-fi technology. What's she going to do with her new-found lease on life? Fight aliens, of course, Let's take a look...
  • The Cabin in the Woods
    • A wry mash up of slasher tropes and meta commentary, this film nails everything it was meant to accomplish, and then some.
  • The Avengers
    • Bringing it all together, Marvel unites their heroes in a single movie, a capstone to their individual films that became a crossover smash hit.
  • Avengers: Age of Ultron
    • After the huge success of the first Avengers film, Marvel had high expectations for the sequel. We take a look at the film and try to figure out if it's a hit or a miss.
  • Justice League
    • The production of Justice League was troubled, with original director Zack Snyder leaving part way in (for family reasons) and Joss Wheddon coming in to do extensive rewrites and re-edits. Although the final film is watchable, it's still not great in comparison to the filmic output of Marvel.

Shows

  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997)
    • A second stab (pun intended) at Buffy produces far superior results that ran for an impressive seven seasons.
  • Angel
    • Spinning out of Buffy, this show follows her off-again boyfriend, who's also a vampire, as he makes his was as a P.I. in Los Angeles.
  • Agents of SHIELD
  • The Nevers
    • Although started by Joss Whedon, this series has switched showrunners to distances itself from the disgraced creator, although his fingers still feel like they're all over the final work.
