Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Yeah, low-key suggesting Snyder may be pulling the strings wrt Ray Fisher's allegations? Gal Gadot doesn't understand English? I'm scanning the chronological reaction on twitter and Whedon is getting almost universally fucking roasted on this article. And it isn't just from people with "associate producer" in their twitter bio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 There's just so much in it that's both gross and fucking insane. Like at one point he essentially claims he was forced to abuse his power to fuck his stars because when he was five he accidentally let a friend of his drown and that bit has barely even been noticed in the outpouring of scathe on twitter. It's so breathtakingly misjudged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifth Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Yea, ever since James Marsters and Charisma Carpenter came out, I'm just so done with this guy. He has some serious anger issues and it's amazing that he's been able to keep it secret for this long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 That interview was the biggest backfire since Prince Andrew decided to go on the BBC to explain his side of the story. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I didn't read the entire article (it was indeed loooong), but yeah, the explanation that he felt he "had to" sleep with all his hot employees was...surreal, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I read this article, all I hear in my head is this sentiment from Jerry Seinfeld that he had on Israeli TV a few years ago: "These behaviours to me don't even make sense".

Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Maybe I'm wrong, but as I'm reading this, it doesn't read like the author spiked the article. This was supposed to come across like some kind of mea culpa? As sympathetic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tone deaf (from Whedon) I think is the operative phrase. Quote "These behaviours to me don't even make sense". Hmm. Seinfeld did leverage his fame to date an 18-year old when he was about to turn 40, although that did end up as a long-term relationship so it wasn't quite in the same pattern as some of these other things. But that was a controversy in its own way, and definitely a power imbalance (though at least she didn't work for him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After having read it, I'm not sure what the author wanted to convey. Regret? Acceptance? Dispute? A bit more polish and restructuring could have been done on this piece to improve the flow, which to me felt herky-jerky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
