How The Nevers Weathered COVID Delays and Joss Whedon’s Departure

New DVD release, , , , ,
For a show called The Nevers, HBO’s latest fantasy endeavor doesn’t say no to a lot. The series, developed by erstwhile TV titan Joss Whedon, brings quite a few competing elements to the table. For starters, it’s set in a steampunk version of Victorian-era London. Ladies wear corsets, men wear bowlers, and everyone wears the same dour expression as they smell the rancid air around them. Then, in addition to its steampunk leanings, The Nevers goes full on X-Men with its hook. Due to a mysterious event, a sizable percentage of London society (though predominantly women) have developed supernatural mutant-like…

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains spoilers for zack snyder’s justice league. The long-awaited Snyder Cut is here at last. After nearly four years of rumors, innuendos, hints, allegations, online harassment, and everything else that’s good and bad about fandom, Zack Snyder’s Justice League has been willed into existence by the filmmaker and his legions of fans. Four hours long–one for each year you’ve had to endure the clamor of Snyder acolytes demanding the filmmaker’s vision be restored–Zack Snyder’s Justice League is the ultimate version of the movie that Snyder never completed in 2017. Instead the version of the film that reached theaters…

Zack Snyder’s Justice League vs. the Whedon Cut: What are the Differences?

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains Zack Snyder’s Justice League spoilers. Whether you love or hate his style, there is no denying Zack Snyder is an original. From 300 to Watchmen, and Man of Steel to Justice League, his characters often hover above the screen as much as occupy it. They’re mythic figures who’ve stepped off a Botticelli canvas, or at least Frank Miller comic book panels, and they’re imbued with such a sense of scale from their director that the aesthetic is nigh impossible to duplicate. That is only clearer now thanks to Zack Snyder’s Justice League, a restored four-hour edit of…

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The misconduct allegations against Joss Whedon have intensified over the last 24 hours, as multiple Buffy the Vampire Slayer stars have spoken out about their former showrunner’s behavior. While there have been storm clouds surrounding Whedon’s behavior and personal life circling for years, Wednesday brought detailed allegations from Charisma Carpenter about her time as Cordelia Chase on Buffy. “Joss Whedon abused his power on numerous occasions while working together on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel,” Carpenter wrote in a statement on Twitter. Carpenter went on to allege “ongoing, passive-aggressive threats,” a pattern of “mean and biting”…

Fandoms Roil Online as Joss Whedon Suddenly Quits His New HBO Show The Nevers

New DVD release, , , , ,
Avengers: Age of Ultron director Joss Whedon has unexpectedly departed his upcoming HBO series, The Nevers. The revelation arrived in what some viewed as a “holiday news dump” just before Thanksgiving this week, and both Whedon and HBO’s statements on his exit had notably different vibes. Whedon had been working on The Nevers at HBO for two years with Buffy and Angel alums Jane Espenson and Doug Petrie. The series stars Outlander’s Laura Donnelly, and focuses on a group of women in Victorian times who fight enemies with their strange abilities. Usually a steady presence on Twitter, writer-director Whedon hadn’t…

Justice League: Joss Whedon Denies Ray Fisher’s Claim He Altered Actor’s Skin Tone

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Stories of a troubled production and accusations continue to swirl around Justice League three years after its release, and one of the film’s directors is making his first public statement about the controversy. Following Ray Fisher’s recent claims in a Forbes interview, Joss Whedon, who oversaw the superhero movie’s reshoots, is responding. Prior to the recent interview, Fisher began drawing public attention in July to what he has called a toxic work environment on the Justice League reshoots. And he singled Whedon out as “gross, abusive, and unprofessional” on the set. This week though, he gave his first anecdotal example…

Justice League: Ray Fisher Says Joss Whedon Wasn’t Zack Snyder’s Choice

New DVD release, , , , ,
Justice League: The Snyder Cut is finally becoming a reality over at HBO Max, but the bitter and apparently unhappy process of the original theatrical release’s creation still generates attention nearly three years after that movie’s release. And actor Ray Fisher, who has spent much of 2020 bringing to light allegations of a toxic workplace on the Justice League reshoots, is now sitting down with Forbes to delve further into his frustration with what he calls “the cover-up culture of old Hollywood.” During an interview with Sheraz Farooqui, Fisher opened up about his need to speak out on what he’s…

Cyborg Actor Slams How Joss Whedon Handled Justice League Movie

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The DCEU’s Cyborg, Ray Fisher, just took a major shot at Joss Whedon and the theatrical cut of Justice League. Fisher who appeared (very briefly) as Vic “Cyborg” Stone in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and (more substantially) in Justice League offered a sharp critique of that latter film’s co-director Joss Whedon and presumably his vision of the finished product that eventually made it to theaters and underwhelmed both critics and fans. Whedon, of course, came on to replace Snyder as the director of Justice League after Snyder suffered a family tragedy that left him unable to complete the…
