Whedon isn’t involved, so I might give it a shot.

I kind of feel the opposite way. I mean, will it be any good without Joss?

(I’m all for taking moral stances against artists, but he was canceled for being a dick, not for any of the much better reasons other people were canceled.)

I certainly agree with your reservations. However i wonder if it would matter either way. Is he even capable of that kind of writing and creativity anymore? Recapturing the magic of something you made 20 years ago is not easy to do. People change a lot.

Did his writing fall off? Is there something in his later work that was really bad? If not, I don’t see any reason to think he couldn’t do it again, and he’s probably got more ideas on how to do it than anyone.

Twenty years ago he was the only one who could do it. He wrote the manual on genre-bridging action/comedy storytelling with an ensemble cast. It’s why Avengers worked when it probably shouldn’t have, and any similar successful properties since then have followed his lead.

I’m not trying to deify the guy, but I think the unique nature of his talent is swept under the rug since he got canceled.

He’s one of a kind. No one has ever quite matched what he does with dialogue, even if the hyper sarcasm gets a bit much at times.
