'Justice League' director Joss Whedon "likes" tweet bashing the movie's villain

November 16, 2017

Joss Whedon joined Justice League as a writer in the middle of production, before taking over as a director when Zack Snyder had to step down. Perhaps if he was with the project the entire time we'd see a different villain in the movie...

Comic Book Movie noticed that Whedon has "liked" a tweet that bashes the Justice League villain, Steppenwolf. Batman News can confirm that it's legit and still "liked" as of this morning. Here's the tweet which Whedon "liked":

Whedon then "liked" a follow-up tweet, praising the best comic book movie villains:

Steppenwolf certainly wasn't a great villain, but it's unusual to see the movie's writer/director support that kind of criticism. Especially right before opening weekend! What do you make of Whedon's "likes"? Let me know in the comments below.

Oh the angry reactions are just too precious. I wish people would get as riled up against some actually important issues like economic inequality or the current rise of fascism in the world, or at least Net Neutrality.

Well, he's not wrong. Steppenwolf is an easy contender for worst ever villain.

He wasn’t that bad. Definitely not equal to or worse than Enchantress or Malekith. Probably about as bad as Loki - just a villain for the sake of getting the team together. Not terrible. Not phenomenal, either. But man, Joss is a jerk - have a little respect for your/Zack’s movie.
