Derek Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Joss, come on, man! I don't know why, but I thought he was one of the good ones. Hollywood is very depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Aside from the reshoots for Justice League he hasn't directed anything since Age of Ultron, so it seems his career has been over for a while. Does seem to have a show coming out this year though, so it'll be interesting to see how that turns out with everything coming out lately...

He hasn't done anything since Age of Ultron and has been super quiet since his ex-wife came out with all that bad stuff about him - all he's done since is Justice League and notice he hasn't said a peep about that film or done any press or anything for it. He does, as you mentioned, have a HBO show coming out, The Nevers, but he quietly "left" that show in November 2020, so . . . seems like people saw all of this coming. Joss Whedon Exiting 'The Nevers,' His Upcoming HBO Show COLLIDER.COM Joss Whedon will exit The Nevers, the upcoming HBO show he originally created, wrote, directed, and served as showrunner.

gamer.tv Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I’m starting to enjoy the fact that profile and money are no longer the barrier between people being called out for the person that they are. I’ve worked with people that permeate a toxic culture and it’s very draining, so the less of that - the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number305 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 So there is a bunch of stuff posted here... I read through some of it but I don't feel like reading all of that plus the 3 or so articles. Is this guy an ass who is really mean to people, or did he sexually assault someone?

It says it in the title - he bullied his employees and created incredibly uncomfortable and toxic work environments. That's far beyond just being an "ass". He also repeatedly cheated on his wife for like 15 years, all the while claiming to be a feminist. Essentially, he psychologically bullied and tortured people, particularly women.
