Is, is it... is it some kinda next-level Godwin?

KharBevNor:
I see what you're saying, but it doesn't really make sense.

Joss Whedon is only really famous for making TV shows and films, yes?

Nodaisho:
Some of the later seasons of Buffy are pretty atrocious  :mrgreen:

I actually think it's closer to a martyrdom thing.

Firefly was pretty good. It wasn't as mind blowing as some people seem to think it was, but it was pretty entertaining pulpy sci-fi. It had spaceships and guns and a wisecracking pilot and a space hooker. What’s not to like?

If it had stuck around, we would have seen it go through ups and downs with better and worse episodes and seasons. A lot of this energy now directed at beatifying it would have been directed at debating which episodes were the best or which season they jumped the shark or whether or not the new season was a return to what made the show great.

But it got canceled. So now all anyone can remember is that it was a good show that was needlessly ended before its time. This was exacerbated by the general sense that there was a grand sweeping plot in the works that we would never get to see. What’s more, Fox had canceled several okay shows around that time, and people were sick of it, so Firefly became a symbol for good television being destroyed by bad stations.

EDIT: In other words, the best thing Fox ever did was cancel Firefly. They turned a pretty good show that wasn't getting good raitings into the best selling DVD box set ever (no idea if this is still true, but it was true for a little while).

KharBevNor:
Why the hair tearing?

Joss Whedon's work, which is making tv shows and films, is being discussed on the internet because he is famous for making tv shows and films.

Hitlers paintings are on the internet not because Hitler got famous because he painted lots of pictures but because he got famous by attempting to exterminate European Jewry.

The comparison is really shoddy!
