20 Reasons Why We Love Joss Whedon

1. He€™s Joss God Damned Whedon

Love him or hate him, you know that if you€™re about the enter into a Joss Whedon experience, you€™re about to get something you can€™t get anywhere else. No one does what Whedon does like Whedon. What that is exactly, it€™s difficult to entirely pin down. It means unique, well-drawn characters; it means healthy doses of that signature Whedon wit; it means forays into the fantastical and it means a healthy balance of humour, tension and action. Of course these traits are not exactly limited to Joss Whedon €“ many writer/directors are funny, many have a fantastic ability with characters, many balance multiple tones in their movie €“ but no one does all of those things in quite the same way Whedon does. When you get your hands on a Whedon product, you can generally bet that you€™re going in to something that, love it or hate it, you€™re not going to forget about any time soon. Here at WhatCulture, we€™ve got a special place for Joss Whedon for all he€™s done for us with his prosperous career. Without Whedon, who would€™ve fuelled our teenage fantasies, if not Buffy? Who would we have lived vicariously through, if not Angel? Where would we have got our fix of space-western action, if not Firefly? Thanks for the memories, Joss, it€™s been a hell of an adventure so far! Anything we missed out in our rampant display of unchecked Fanboyism? Do tell!
