Line 11:
*** You assume that Whedon had major networks just throwing themselves at him, offering to pick up whatever show he feels like pitching. Even Buffy, his most popular show, never pulled the kind of numbers that a show like House does. Despite the Fan Myopia that tends to surround him, Joss Whedon has nowhere near the clout to be turning down a deal with Fox, which may well be the only network that would have been willing to greenlight Dollhouse in the first place.
*** But hey, he's written Avengers. If that does well enough maybe that will change.
*** Although it's also worth keeping in mind that there's [[Marvel Cinematic Universe|a few other reasons]] beside Joss Whedon's involvement why ''[[The Avengers (Filmfilm)|The Avengers]]'' is likely to be successful; let's be honest, given the hype surrounding it they could have gotten practically anyone but Uwe Boll to helm it and it would have been a box-office smash (and even Boll would probably managed to get some numbers with it), so it's not like it's entirely down to him. It's success certainly won't hurt his career or his clout by any means, though.
* Did a happy ending murder Joss Whedon's parents in Crime Alley or something? Would it kill him to just once avert the trope that his writing has become and have a relationship, or a show, end pleasantly? It stops being a shocking plot twist if everybody knows you can't write anything else, Joss.
** Serenity and Buffy both ended pretty well, and Angel really couldn't have ended any other way. It's mostly just the relationships that suffer and end horribly.
