    Poll: Which is Your Favorite Script by Joss Whedon?

    Joss Whedon

    Which is your favorite Joss Whedon script from science fiction?

    It’s time for the results of last times poll and the new question.

    There were two pieces of Joss Whedon writing news recently. On the one
    hand, last week there were rumors the network told Whedon to rewrite
    scripts for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    because they were “so bad.” But, this week we found out Whedon was
    flown in to help rewrite scenes for Thor
    2
    by co-writers Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus.

    According to an interview
    with SFX Magazine
    , director [Alan Taylor] laughed, “Joss came in to
    save our lives a couple of times. We had a major scene that was not
    working on the page at all in London, and he basically got airlifted
    in, like a SWAT team or something.

    “He came down, rewrote the scene, and before he got back to his plane I
    sort of grabbed him and said, ‘And this scene and this scene?’ And he
    rewrote two other scenes that I thought had problems. Then finally we
    let go of him, he took off again, and we shot the scenes; and they were
    just much better and much lighter on their feet. Much more fun, much
    more surprising than what we had been trying to do.

    “I can relate to guys who come out of the TV world, since that’s where
    I come from. And being able to land and work and solve a problem
    [quickly]… I really was grateful.”

    He was also called in to do last minute rewrites on the
    first Captain America script.
    We know how that turned out.

    So, it’s safe to say Joss Whedon is an awesome writer. I guess this
    isn’t a surprise since he’s the grandson of the great television
    screenwriter John Whedon, the son of Tom Whedon, and his brothers Zack
    and Jed Whedon are also screenwriters.

    Here’s the question: Which is your favorite science fiction
    property Joss Whedon has written for and why?

    The results of last week’s poll – Which
    of These 17 Genre Movies Are You Looking Forward To In 2015
    ? – is
    (coincidentally) Marvel’s The
    Avengers: Age of Ultron
    !
    In second place is Star Wars:
    Episode VII
    followed by Batman
    vs. Superman
    .

    Vote in this week’s poll and come back in two weeks for the results and
    the next
    poll.

    Come back next week for the bi-weekly caption contest
    and comes back in two weeks for the next poll.

    Do you have an idea for a poll, or have you seen a picture that needs a
    funny caption? Send it to us using our contact form

      Can I vote that they're all equally awesome? It's hilarious though that they would send him in like a pinch hitter to bail their screen writers out. Does he get a credit for that?

    2. DAVID WALSTON on September 19, 2013 1:32 pm

      I Love Firefly! Serenity would be second only because it tied things up.
      No one will ever have a more awesome Theme Song.

      Take my love, take my land
      Take me where I cannot stand
      I don't care, I'm still free
      You can't take the sky from me.

    3. Alex J. Cavanaugh on September 19, 2013 2:03 pm

      That was difficult! As much as I dig The Avengers, nothing beats Firefly.

    4. Melissa Bradley on September 19, 2013 2:19 pm

      This is a hard poll as I love all of Whedon's work. But I have to go with Firefly…Browncoat Forever!! LOL Just thought I'd say hi for a bit, I'm still snowed under with work.

    5. Maurice Mitchell on September 19, 2013 5:27 pm

      It's funny to think of them a big red button that says "WHEDON" Pat. I changed it to top three instead of one. It's not fair otherwise.

    6. Maurice Mitchell on September 19, 2013 5:32 pm

      I changed it to top three Alex. Avengers was bigger so its not fair to choose one over the other. Good call though!

      Voted for Dr. Horrible. I didn't know he had anything to do with Waterworld. Although interestingly, apparently he nixed an original plan to end the whole third act on land, which could have broadened the whole mythology of the movie. Yes, as he pointed out, the thing about Kevin Costner's character was that he was a dude with gills, but the most interesting Aquaman comics don't keep him in the water, either. The character was already a fish out of water. It was essentially a pirate movie anyways, and a lot of pirate movies are obsessed with the treasure buried on land somewhere. (Actually, the Pirates of the Caribbean movies really aren't so different from Waterworld, if you allow Dennis Hopper to have a slightly less one-dimensional role.) In Waterworld you have this mysterious map that pretty much becomes a McGuffin. While people endlessly dog J.J. Abrams about McGuffins, Whedon is equally guilty about this, and probably the worse for having never been called on it and thus never addressing it in his projects.

      All of which is to say, I liked Waterworld. And to know that Whedon was involved is a way for me to identify more of the ways we differ creatively. I would've let the darn thing continue to be a pirate movie. Whedon can become obsessed with keeping his darlings stuck in one particular box.

    10. Tony Laplume on September 20, 2013 12:26 pm

      Agree. It's one of the best theme songs ever.
