Joss's Dark Horse panel at SDCC.
The panel is scheduled to run 5:30-6:30 PST. Come chat about it here! A live blog of it can be found at ComicBookResources and Newsarama. Things to note is that Dr. Horrible will air on The CW and Joss is scoring Much Ado About Nothing.

So much whedony goodness today, I'm a little over loaded, like eating a pixie stick or 10.

So, this:
Q: Now that produceers are probably more open to your work because of Avengers, are there any unrealized projects you'd like to go back to?
W: "I'm not actually a big "go-back" guy. Even if it's unrealized, It's happened, that relationship has run its course. I kind of tend to look forward. So I think the next thing I create will be something I haven't created yet...
...
So I'm thinking maybe notsomuch with the Goners, huh? Merde.
(I'm one of those Hopeless Causes kindof people...)

This was his response, per Newsarama:
---
W: I was raised on the upper west side of Manhattan in the 70s by people who thought Socialism as a model was a beautiful CONCEPT. And we're watching capitalism destroy itself right now, ultimately all of these systems don't work.
6:28
"I like to champion the working class because they are getting destroyed. If we keep the way we're going we're turning into czarist russia and creating serfdom. We need a system that honors what people achieve, but also honors the need for people to have a life and have a chance
6:28
During the Writer's strike I was FURIOUS, I remain FURIOUS
6:29
"I wasn't sure what to do about it. What happens now in the political arena, we have people trying to create structures or people trying to preserve structures that help the working class and people calling them socialist."
6:29
"it's not about republican vs democrat or conservative vs liberal. It's about people trying to preserve life and people who have gone OFF THE RESERVATION."
6:29
"And that's hurting America"

Go it, Joss. Right there with ya.

"When Buffy had been on for three years, we started pitching the animated series that never went anywhere and literally got 'well she has to have a male counterpart who's just as cool as her or we won't do it.'"
Every time Joss talks about the failed Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Animated Series, my heart breaks a little.

It was fantastic, all of Whedon's work was covered, and he was so eloquent and intelligent and funny and insightful, and... A genius. :D
I'm curious as to what miniseries he's referring to! Who could it be? :)

Sigh.

Granted calling something a "fervent political rant" has totally different connotations from "off-the-cuff impassioned response to a direct inquiry."

As a big fan of both Warren and Joss, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

*sigh*
If I hadn't read the Newsarama live-blog first, and then that of ComicBookResources, and had only read The Wrap's article, I woud've had a totally different impression of what Joss said than... well, what he in fact said.
Bad slanty alarmist coverage.
Edited to add:
My lack of understanding of the following Joss-quote may have something to do with me not knowing much about AXM, Emma and Danger, but does anyone think they know what are the two different societal directives Joss believes we are given? I can think of a bunch of dissonant or irreconcilable admonitions we're exhorted to follow, but I'm not sure which Joss was referring to.
"For AXM, particularly Emma and Danger's arcs, it's about people always working at cross purposes."
"In our society we are given two different directives that we are constantly trying to accomplish. That dissonance is what makes us human. I honestly didn't understand that until I was writing a comic book about it."

During the panel before it on strong women, apparently Joss's name came up. I was out of the room and missed it, but my son was angered by what was said. Can anybody who was there (or not there) tell me what was said?

news about wastelanders is good
interesting to see how media reported on what joss said in different ways (just goes to show how easily ppl can be misquoted or taken out of context)
also would be good to hear how joss was talked about in the strong women panel as cannot see how anyone could be negative about him in it but by sounds of it they were

Grant Imahara @grantimahara
And then, @NathanFillion introduced us to @georgerrmartin. #thatjusthappened #thingsineverthoughtidsay
Nathan introduced Grant to GEORGE! And you just KNOW Nathan asked him about "Write Like The Wind"!
Oh, to have been a monkey on his shoulder.

Also, I'd never seen "Write Like The Wind" before, that was kind of awesome.
