Just, I really never come across that on LJ. Or even on forums. It's far more likely to read criticism about Joss imo. Oh, if only I could dig up the wank from the old FanForums. It was EPIC. There are a lot of people, including Joss himself, who want to pass the blame around about how the original Buffy flopped. Joss never takes any of the blame himself nor does anyone who defends his "honor" even stop and think that perhaps the story was just a tad weak to begin with (I personally have a soft spot for the film). It's the same thing with some of his other work. Toy Story = Commercially successful. Joss is a genius even though four other writers worked on that with him. Alien Resurrection = Neither commercially nor critically successful. It's not Joss's fault! It's the director's! In reality, there's enough praise and blame to go around; none of which means a damn thing.
The ways in which I disagree could fill a thesis paper. :P That's glorious. Strong opinions are always such fun. I like "Oh, no, she's crying again" drinking game I created. Too bad I'm allergic to alcohol or I'd be blitzed. I'll stick to the conclusion that Buffy either needs an anti-depressant or she's pregnant... or she's got some sort of disease that makes grey paint leak from all her orifices.
