>>215480882>invented strong female protagonistAside from that bit of nonsense Whedon deserves plenty of credit but he isn't some once in a generation supergenius.What he did was take from things he liked from comics (specifically X-Men) and other things and package it for film.comics are filled with big bad villains, metaphors for real life, seasonal story arcs, snappy dialogue,trope reversals, mood whiplash, teams and phlebotinumI will give him the musical episode though, hadn't really been done before and hasn't been done nearly as well since, probably because it's a lot of fucking work
>>215480882scooby gang was the worst one because hack writers insert one into everything, even the flash and superman now have to have a gang of diverse faggots helping them do shit.
>>215481337>will give him the musical episode though, hadn't really been done beforeXena did it first
>>215480882I haven’t seen this in awhile
>>215481472Is that so? I haven't seen itWould you recommend Xena?
>>215481512>Would you recommend Xena?Yes I would, very fun show about a hot warrior woman that is clearly influenced by old kung fu movies from the 70s, produced by the guys who made the Evil Dead films. It's very campy but as long as that doesn't bother you it's a blast. You might want to skip season 5 though as it is complete ass
Whedon was always a hack. Every one of his shows are just copies of Canadian tv shows that were made like 2 or 3 years before.And Percy Montana still looks better in goggles than Kaylee Frye.
>>215482252Angel was certainly inspired by Forever Knight but they are still very different shows.
