It seems to me a lot like good ole Joss was fired.

Signs of trouble have been a long time coming, with the eternal scriptwriting of doom. He admitted to having a lot of trouble with it.

The Wonder Woman project was his chance to prove to everyone that he could make a blockbuster.

It was his chance for validation, and to write his own ticket.

It's a chance lost.

I don't think he's gotten his self-confidence back since making Serenity.

I think Joss is hurting.

Boy o, boy o, that's a definate downer for me. I would have loved for Joss to take on the ultimate warrior girl. Still, I mean, as a general fan of Joss' work, and a complete lover of his writing style, I think that he would have done the franchise really well. I'm sorry, but I just can't see this as a good thing. I'm not going to try to psychoanalyze the guy, cause I don't know him, but I think that his writing style is a little too different for big time Hollywood. He focuses on characters that other writers glaze over, he brings forth plot points that make big time Hollywood execs shiver, and he has no qualms with doing what he thinks will be intresting and exciting, even when it hurts. (I'm thinking of a classy shepherd and a funny pilot here) Especially for the big budget movies that these super hero movies are supposed to be; it has to fit the mold. And Joss doesn't do that well. So, I'm a little sad to see Joss' involvment go the way of the (plastic) dinosaur, I would have loved to see what he would have done with it.

Well, what can I say? Football season is over. My first passion has been snuffed for another six months. Of course, 'my' Cowboys (don't hate me, they're my childhood team) are in the process of hiring a new coaching staff, so that prolongs the interest somewhat...

But, I've been lurk-only around here since late July (a.k.a., start of training camp), and posting on the inaugural Cowboys Fan Forum site. I will tell you this: Between the Cowboys' fans and the Cowboys' haters that sign up just to say insulting stuff to each other, there's scarcely two brain cells between 'em.

I am really looking forward to returning to intelligent discourse on this site (at least until summer, when football beckons irresistibly, once more). Hey, I can't help it. I'm an old-fashioned guy...

Meantime, Joss no longer being a part of the WW project is going to turn out to be a blessing, believe me. Getting saved from making a colossal career mistake -- a huge-budget craptacular that no one will pay to see in a theatre -- keeps the door open for future projects. I guaran-dam-tee that a failure of the magnitude WW is gonna turn out to be would have put an end to Joss' dream of being a filmmaker, forever.

Thanks, 'snark and asarian, for remembering me. I was never far away, and Firefly will forever be in my heart, as will you all...

Respectfully,

zoid

The only thing I see wrong in all of this is that now (regardless of Joss) there is still going to be a ‘Wonder Woman’ movie. A while off certainly… but inevitable (look at Superman). The problem is that with Joss, I at least knew that:
1) There would be a strong plot
2) Have great character development
3) True to the original themes of the comic book
…and finally
4) Have strong women characters.

Looking at all the comic-book movies lately (which are quite popular currently), they have a large audience to the public and (specifically) to children. I would have felt more relieved to have Joss behind the wheel, then to have some other director present her as a bimbo in a G-String.
He would of added class to the picture.

And like everyone else said. Every movie he makes gives him more credibility and potentially the eventual power to make the movies he wants to make in the future. Look at Steven Spielberg. Joss is relatively young in the movie business, so the way I see it; the more movies he creates ‘now’ the greater chances of a Serenity Trilogy ever happening.
