Joss Whedon’s place in television history is complicated, to say the least. On the one hand, he’s the man who turned Buffy the Vampire Slayer from an ‘80s B-movie into a ‘90s teen TV icon — and the one who rewrote the rulebook for science fiction television as we know it. On the other, his workplace behavior and later career choices — like the disastrous Justice League reshoots or the nuked-from-HBO-Max The Nevers — have turned him into a Hollywood pariah.
