It probably underwhelmed you because it basically boiled down to "because The Patriarchy".

I agree with the general competence level of the bad guys being pretty poor, but honestly that's par for the course for any TV series of the era so I don't really hold it against Buffy specifically that much. Not sure what you mean here -- there are plenty of different supernatural beings in...

Oh, yeah, I definitely get it. There's nothing wrong with the trope. Even in the sorts of cases like this, where someone is clearly indulging their own fetishes, I don't have any problem with it. If you're a creative and you want to be a bit self-indulgent with it and cater to your own...

Whedon thinks "strong female character" means literally physical powerful, without really understanding what makes a strong character. That might be okay on its own, but then he refuses to cast women with any actual muscle mass in favour of his 'waif' archetype -- he's got a Thing for tiny hot...

Alright, well, I can get into a bit more in a spoiler box...

... what movie are you talking about?

We'd get movies a hell of a lot better than the Bayformers movies, at the very least, and they'd be a lot less afraid of adapting some of the crazier stuff. Some of the cosmic level Transformers stuff would fit right into the cosmic-level MCU stuff alongside Thor and Guardians of the Galaxy. A...

I feel like with only a little work you could easily have Terminator lead into The Matrix lead into Battlestar Galactica. There's quite a lot of crossover thematically as well.
