Joss Whedon's dialogue
In typical fashion, Whedon's dialogue is not great. It comes off like a CW 90's TV show. I know that's why people like his previous work, but it sounds funny here.
shareYes. I agree. It is really bad.

TO BE FAIR...WHEDON'S SCRIPT HAD TO BE REWRITTEN MANY TIMES...HIS ORIGINAL SCRIPT HAD A FINAL THIRD ACT SET ON EARTH...JUST THAT FINAL THIRD ACT HAD TO BE REWRITTEN FIVE TIMES BEFORE THE STUDIO SIGNED OFF.
shareTo solve the problem of Joss Whedon shitty dialogue I propose that we fire Joss Whedon out of a cannon, far out into the ocean, thousands of miles from the nearest computer, typewriter, or pencil.
shareNot good enough. We need to feed Joss progressively through a shredder, like in No One Lives, reveling in his agony as he is diminished more and more and MORE as we all laugh and he tries fervently to repent for his hubris and apologize for having retarded an entire generation; but then his dick and nuts get shredded. He calls out to Satan to save him, and Satan “obliges.”
shareWhy this much hate? He’s done some good things. Great, even.
shareAs bad as Alien 3 was it at least felt like its predecessors in tone and dialog. Unfortunately, by the time the 4th one came about it feels like (as someone else pointed out) a sh!tty CW network production. Joss is simply bad at writing dialog. His teen-level dialog dragged down an already bad movie and made it even worse.
shareI am on board with this.
Afterwards though, what should we do with the resulting Whedon meat strips?
