L1145: From "Buffy" to "The Avengers" : How Joss Whedon Writes Superheroes in Splash! Fall 2013 (Oct. 05, 2013)
Joss Whedon, creator of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Firefly," and writer of the new "Avengers" movie, has often written strong--but complex--heroic protagonists. This course discusses the differences between how his female and male protagonists are written and how they differ from other brands of heroes. We will also talk about certain writing techniques that are unique to Whedon, such as the language he uses in his works as well as how he utilizes pop culture references in his pieces.
