  • Netflix lighting
  • Generic, Zimmer-stolen OST
  • Franchises
  • Standard blocking
  • Overexposition
  • Whedonisms
  • More broadly, anything that's been big budget Hollywood for the last 30 years or so.

Whedonisms

What the heck is that? I liked buffy and firefly, so use those as an example if you could.

Yeah, do they mean pre- or post- marvel?

[–] iagomago@feddit.it 2 points 1 month ago

Never watched Buffy but anything that's been flogged to death by Marvel movies, yes.
