He does the exact same thing with Black Widow and the Hulk. Not just a bad writer, but a hypocrite too.

I\’m talking about Avengers.

We are only seeing a clip from what could be a full relationship where the two are open to each other. We cannot really make judgements without the full film

He hasn\’t seen it all. I. The trailers she looks like more than a damsel in distress when we see her standing there, reminiscent of Ripley from alien holding the flare. I think the avengers is full of some sexist material if we are gonna go there.

You may not like The Avengers, but I don\’t think you can look at Whedon\’s career with Buffy, Firefly, Dollhouse, and even the Avengers and claim that he dosn\’t want to "go there"

It\’s just a movie! Sheesh" type of
comments. For the 8 millionth time the depiction of women and minorities in media MATTERS. This is our culture, it doesn\’t exist in a vacuum. Of course, once the Marvel fan boys start circling all respect for women goes out the window…

He specifically said the clip was, in his opinion. I\’m sure he\’ll wait like everyone else, until he sees the film before he judges the whole thing.

He\’s a "life force" in the traditionally effeminate sense. She is the boss, so she is expected to be more stiff and reserved. Knee jerk much Whedon?

The T-Rex is female. the one from the first one
The Raptors are female.
Seriously dude? I think he\’s afraid that more people are going to enjoy Jurassic World, especially once they realize that his avengers 2 is the same old boring routine marvel puts out every year.
Indominus Rex vs T-Rex vs Raptor Squad is going to be much more epic than the avengers routine and this dude knows it.

Yeah the scene is pretty cheesy and cliche, but you\’re going to try and bring sexism into this? Come on Joss, I thought you were better than that. Is this dynamic unoriginal? Yes. Is it sexist? No. Plus, I know Whedon\’s written some strong female characters before, but are we really not going to pretend that Black Widow isn\’t basically portrayed as a walking sex symbol for the Avengers?

So on a deeper level, it\’s telling us `cool guys\’ sexually intimidate women, and that successful women are `uptight\’. That\’s what Whedon\’s objecting to – and saying it\’s just a movie it doesnt matter is bullshit. Our culture influences, reflects and defines us.

This clip hardly gives enough to show that this is the character BEFORE he or she changes. For an effective arc they must change by the end or be less than fulfilling to the audience. Duh.
