Writer Jose Molina claimed Whedon used to revel in making female writers cry, even boasting about his skill at the art of being mean. Buy PlayStation Store Steam Epic Games Store Microsoft Store Forspoken is an action role-playing video game developed by Luminous Productions and published by Square Enix. Forspoken's Trailer Shows How Marvel Has Ruined Modern Media By Stacey Henley Published Forspoken's gameplay looks interesting, but the cringe dialogue undercuts any hype it might have built Against my better judgement, I’m excited for Forspoken. Another of Whedon’s shows, Firefly, is also rife with allegations. Michelle Tratchenberg claimed Whedon was “not appropriate” with her on the Buffy set and there was a rule that he was not allowed to be in a room alone with her. Whedon was for a long time defined as one of media’s greatest feminists, which showcases how low the bar was - especially when it was all a lie. Buffy is a legendary character, but I’m fearful for what it could mean for Forspoken. Prior to the MCU, Whedon found fame as showrunner of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and subsequently made a career off the backs of creating badass, quippy, smartass female characters - much like Forspoken’s lead. There is, however, another slice of Whedonisation that I’m more fearful of than just some overused bad jokes. Audiences seem to be growing bored of this style (hence the poor reaction to the trailer), but so long as Marvel keeps seeing success with it, others will continue to copy it. The Forspoken trailer starts with ‘so let me get this straight’, before listing the basic premise of the game in a very ‘oh boy, how did I get myself into this mess?!’ tone, which screams Whedonisation.
