Synopsis

In this study of Joss Whedon's work, from his early days as story editor for Roseanne to his relationship with Marvel, the author traces his use of corporate culture as the primary antagonist under which all of his protagonists struggle, from the fast food horrors in Buffy and Roseanne, to the corporate-funded technology used in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Screenwriter, director, producer and comic book author Joss Whedon is best known for his television series and films featuring villainous vampires, angry gods and even bloggers who wish to rule the world. Within these works is a prevalent yet commonly overlooked theme--the corporate antagonist. This book examines the effects of this corporate culture on the protagonists of Whedon's most famous works (including Buffy , Roseanne , the Avengers , Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Dollhouse ) to reveal explicit sociopolitical commentaries on corporate control in the real world.
