Joss Whedon slams Jurassic World
Joss Whedon believes Jurassic World is Jurassic in its portrayal of women.
The writer and director of Buffy and The Avengers believes that the upcoming sequel to Jurassic World shows “70s-era sexist” stereotypes in a new clip released of the film with Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard.
The clip is of Pratt and Howard character’s flirting.
Pratt’s character is charismatic and sexual with his jokes, while Howard’s character is portrayed as very straight and uninteresting.
Whedon tweeted: “… and I’m too busy wishing this clip wasn’t 70’s era sexist,” “She’s a stiff, he’s a life-force - really? Still?”
Whedon is renowned as a feminist and is known for including strong female characters in his movies.
He has even called out sexism in his own movie franchise.
He accused Marvel’s Avengers of having a lack of female superheroes in comics he said his was "...genuine, recalcitrant, intractable sexism, and old-fashioned quiet misogyny that goes on."
