Joss Whedon Pisses Me Off

[dragonspell]

Thank you, Joss Whedon, for managing to kill off any interest I might have had in yet another fandom with your last installment of said fandom's series.

This is the second time that this has happened and I'm beginning to think that if I ever have an insane urge to watch something made by him again, I'm just going to watch the first part and consider that to be everything. It's not worth the rage I will feel if I watch to the end.

This is brought to you by Serenity, the movie that could have been good and the ending to the awesome but cancelled TV show Firefly.

Total spoiler, but why the fuck did he need to die? No, seriously. Why the fuck did he need to die? He could have just been injured. I know that it wouldn't have been nearly as ~dramatic~ and shit but, fuck, man. I'm beginning to think that Joss is only good at creating a series/characters and writing snappy dialogue--so the beginning and the middle of a series--but he is complete SHIT at plot (thus, skip the end).

killing off characters like that is a surefire way to kill a fandom dead

I never thought about that before, but you're totally right. The fandom for "Angel" just doesn't exist any more.

I don't trust Joss at all.

See? That's why I hate it when creators take their toys like that and go home. >=( It's all "Yeah, I get that you're pissed but you have no fucking clue what you've just done, have you?" You would think that an actually GOOD creator would want their show to live on in fan's hearts.

There are still some fandoms whose shows are LONG gone but they still continue on because of their amazing endings. And then there are some that just ceased to be because of how they ended.

I will never trust him again, either. >=(
