It's fair to say the 2 biggest movies of the summer belong to Avengers: Age of Ultron and Jurassic World. Both films are part of well known and successful movie series in the Jurassic Park series and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Both films have a talented cast along with writers and directors. Both films look great.... OR DO THEY?!?!?! The other day, Paramount released the first clip of the upcoming Jurassic World. It's a scene featuring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. Joss Whedon wasn't a fan of it calling the scene "70's era sexist".


This is the scene in question


So what are your thoughts? Do you agree with Joss that the scene is sexist or should he just shut the hell up and wait to see an entire film before judging it after one scene? Comment below, let me know. Peace and remember...




Steven Spielberg returns to executive produce the long-awaited next installment of his groundbreaking Jurassic Park series, Jurassic World. Colin Trevorrow directs the epic action-adventure from a screenplay he wrote with Derek Connolly. Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley join the team as producers.

Joss, is a legend when it comes to writing and fulfilling on his visions. BUT, he is a stupid liberal when he talks. My God, he is a moron. Know your strengths, quit interfering with political and sensitive issues. It makes you look stupid.

Welp, now I'm not so upset that Avengers 2 is crap.

"She's a stiff, he's a life-force"

They're called characters Joss. They have their own and different personalities.

I'm sure Whedon wouldn't even understand that. He writes every character the same.

Who the hell made Joss the moral crusader of all things media related? He is a great writer and director, but his authoritarian political correctness is salty. The only thing he is doing with this attitude is putting other young writers and film directors down, if Whedon gets his way, there will be an over saturation of token characters shoe horned into film and other types of media in hopes not to offend anyone.

The clip is quite sexist. I'm not gathering how people can't grasp that

Is it me or are the reviews of Age of Ultron just meh. Yeah they say it's good but I'm not feeling the energy that came with the first one. Also, Whedon probably got fired and that's why he's hating on Marvel's new RDJ.

@knightinarkham1 I wouldn't say the Russos are better but they are really good. I still don't think they could and the Infinity War films. I think they haven't realized how big this movie is going to be production wise

I completely agree. Ever read his comments on Alien resurrection? It's about time someone on this site had the balls to say it.

But then again, most people are sexist...

i watched the clip. I was surprised by the dialogue. Still ... looks like they were going for adding some humour to the scene. Pratt was making fun of Bryce because her character was a stiff ... in their relathionship! If you didn't get that they were dating ... then the scene might be "little sexist". But ... the writer could also be inspired by many 70's movies where those thing conversations happened in many movies.
I wouldn't call it a tribute or homage ... inspiration rather. Anyway ... Whedon exaggerated. Gotta be rational.

Yeah, well, not everybody in real life is as politically correct as you, Joss. In the real world, there's sexist assholes out there. It's not like they're glorifying it and hell, I'd be more offended if he just met her and started putting the moves on her, but they know each other so it looks like he's really just messing with her.

Regardless, calm the [frick] down, Joss 'I have a foot fetish and need long shots of Scarlet Johannson's feet in pantyhose' Whedon.

Joss "Black Widow Ass Shot" Whedon sure is such a feminist haha. Im so happy Disney is dumping this [frick]

You know Whedon is the one who suggested that scene in Dark world where Thor is washing his shirtless chest? I'm sure girls loved it but it was weird and totally unnecessary

Joss is a known sissy pants.
I remember I'm bitching on Twitter that he's tired of seeing women getting sliced up in videogames.

What videogames is this dude playing?


He's even tipping a fedora on his Twitter profile pic, talk about sad.
