Is he ever coming back?

He was banished for being a weirdo. That is all it takes.

>>211656026
Didn't he just cheat on his wife and his wife wrote a public letter then he got dogpiled for being mean on set?

No he was definitely talented if he made things like Toy Story, multiple cult hits and even The Avengers.
But it's been proven you do not need talent or any kind of relevant material only marketing.

>>211656145
yeah, he cheated on his wife with a younger woman and was mean to some of the actors on his shows
that's literally all he did and he's constantly lumped in with bill cosby and harvey weinstein

Lots of rumors, including the well know one that Michelle Trachtenberg wasnt even allowed to be alone in the same room as him when Buffy was airing.

>>211656617
Isn't she dead? She died anyway so would it have mattered in the end? Bring this guy back

>>211656519
He was a prick to a lot of people in Hollywood. When the daggers came out he had no friends to defend him.

>>211656729
Daggers for what? Being mean as a director/showrunner?

I don't understand the extreme public reaction. The site whedonesque which was a blog that he posted on but run by his fans just up and shut down for no real reason. He got booted off The Nevers and that predictably went downhill. I just want a sensible explanation. Is his ex-wife super powerful? Like from one of the seven bloodlines or something? He is a quipmaster, were his on-set comments just too devastating to tolerate and all of Hollywood had to rally to put him down?

And pissing off land whale feminists who worshipped him for 20 years.

Undeniably funny. Looks like Slayage: The International Journal of Buffy Studies is still going, so that's good. https://slayage.ejournals.una.edu/

>>211656965
Guess it's just disappointment, he was a famous "male feminist" at one point. So both the right and left hate him.
>>211656729
He wrote good and also widly successful shit like the Avengers and while most people are just scraping by Hollywood has hundreds of billions of dollars from the public? They are not for supportive workplace awards for sure.
And seems he was really just saying the quiet part out loud, Hollywood does not like pregnant women or putting their hundred million dollars investment on pregnant women.

>>211655969 (OP)
He will be based to me because he apparently called out Gal Gadot for her shitty delivery and wonky gob accent on set.

>>211655969 (OP)
He is probably back to being a uncredited script doctor for movies and has probably ghost written a bunch of novels and comics too.

sounds like he was a dick to work with and had an inflated ego
idk i just want firefly prequel

>>211657892
>i just want firefly prequel
Why? It'd just be them losing a war with random chinese words inserted into sentences

this guy sucked and was the essence of reddit

>>211658032
I get that comparison on the surface level but he was actually a third-generation writer who was exceptionally talented even beyond his pedigree, whereas your normal redditor just possesses the same obnoxiousness without actually being able to deliver the goods

Did he cause Michelle Trachtenberg to become an alkie and die of liver failure. I’d kill myself too if got molested by that bald ginger fuck.

>>211656519
Truly strange.

>>211658231
>adult men complaining about rude comments finalizes his ejection from movies and tv
That unsubstantiated Trachtenberg rumor out of nowhere when the metoo brigade realized they had nothing of substance made the whole thing even weirder. Where was the follow-up on that?

Astonishing xmen may have been the best xmen run ever

>>211658360
Don’t know, Michelle won’t pick up my calls
