I could never get past Joss Whedon's inability to write dialog.
- escapologybb 10y agoReally? I find that his ability to write dialogue, especially in the context of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was unmatched. Look at the influence the way they speak has on language and pop culture references. A lot of the idioms and jokes began with things he wrote. I think that's a fairly reasonable marker in the "Joss Weedon is pretty good at writing dialogue" column. IMNSHO. Edited to add: Made changes for clarity.
- zzalpha 10y agoWhendon writes dialog with a very specific and intentional style. You may or may not like that style, but I think it's unfair to claim he cannot write dialog.
