I...am...so...angry right now.

I hate you Joss Whedon.

You suck.

And I wouldn't brake.

I hate you. I HATE you. I HATE YOU.

I loved 95 percent of this movie but you are a total jackass and I hate you.

Can I ask why?
I mean, I think I may KNOW why... I was pretty hurt too, but it's just a movie, and it DID provoke a reaction. There were tears in my eyes at the part I hated so much.

I'm trying to keep spoiler free, so all I'll say is that it's a writing technique that Joss Whedon uses. He ALWAYS does something like what he did in the movie. I even said to Phil, I was glad that the show got cancelled before he could do that to them. Think back over every similar situation in Buffy and Angel and you get the same thing. Rrr...it's hard to explain without spoilers.

Phil is going to do a full post on Wednesday and I think I might then too that will detail it better.

Let's just say I feel betrayed. And I feel that the characters were betrayed. Because he has no loyalty to his characters at all.

Loyalty to characters? I think that Joss is just fine. I think he is first and foremost loyal to his story and his setting. I think that any Storyteller that is willing to do what is necessary to keep their audience on their toes is worthy of their art. Deference to characters over story gives the audience a sense of security that they shouldn't have.

But it still hurts.

I think you're wrong. He isn't loyal to his story. He's mired in the same writing techniques that he always uses. He can't see the story for the tools.

How can I get people to hurt the most? I'll do this thing I ALWAYS do. How can I drain the most from my audience? Well this has worked before.

Of course we shouldn't have security. Everything shouldn't be a-ok. Bad shit's going to happen. But that particular bad shit was chosen because it hurts, not because it was loyal to the story.
