After becoming the new director of Justice League, Whedon was in charge of nearly 40 days of reshoots and he admitted that "from the start, things were tense between him and the stars." Whedon's directorial style was much different than Snyder's, as he expected actors to read lines exactly as they are written while Snyder encouraged a bit more creative freedom.

An unnamed crew member shared to New York that this change "didn't go down well at all," especially after Whedon announced that he had never worked with "a ruder group of people." This went beyond simply directorial styles, however, as other actors would continue to criticize his writing. As an example, Whedon claims Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot's suggested that he "didn't understand how superhero movies worked."

Gadot has also publicly stated that, during the Justice League reshoots, Whedon "threatened her career" if she didn't read the lines as he wrote them for Wonder Woman or failed to follow his direction. She says Whedon went so far as to say he would "harm" her career if she continued to pushback on his rewrites.

I dont threaten people," Whedon said when asked about the allegations. "Who does that?
He continued on to say that Gadot just "misunderstood him."

"English is not her first language, and I tend to be annoyingly flowery in my speech," Whedon said. He gave a specific example of a time when he was arguing with Gadot over a scene she wanted to cut. Whedon said that he "jokingly" told her "that if she wanted to get rid of it, she would have to tie him to a railroad track and do it over his dead body."

"Then I was told that I had said something about her dead body and tying her to the railroad track, Whedon added. Gadot told New York in an e-mail that this was not true and that she "understood perfectly" what was going on.

The actors were about their characters and that's respectful. Highly doubt the actors want to give up their characters, especially Henry Cavil.

He did say he tends to be overly flowery with his speech. Can't you just see the flowers? Look at the flowers.

Whedon sounds like an ass, but he probably understands Superheroes more than most/all the actors in the film. His Astonishing X-Men run in comics is very popular and considered one of the best.

40 days is a pretty long time for reshoots. A full movie's worth of principal photography takes maybe 2-3 months, so they basically reshot over a third of the film.

Ehhh I'm gonna need a bit more context on those first two? I know she supported Israel but has she declared Judaism superior? And if the second is referring to WW 1984, I thought there was some acknowledgment of the plot device being not that great?

It's not surprising. Not taking accountability is the thing I've hated most about Whedon ever since an interview he did when "Alien Resurrection" flopped. And his fans have long enabled and defended this aspect of him, especially on Tumblr before this controversy occurred.

Also, a better implement might be a cat dildo. Sure, a cat dildo might sound cute - if you didn't know anything about the mating process of domestic cats.

Its disappointing he turned out to be a bad person, Buffy is my all-time favorite TV series and Angel is up there too.

His version of Justice League was def pretty bad tho, not to defend Snyders which I thought was less bad but still bad overall.
