Joss Whedon

Joss Whedon

And finally, there’s the co-writer and producer of Cabin in the Woods and the writer/director of The Avengers — who’s furnished us with plenty of reminders recently that he has a style, and a set of preoccupations, that carry over into all his work, no matter what genre or subject matter he’s ostensibly working in. Whether it’s a teen horror comedy like Buffy or a dystopian corporate nightmare like Dollhouse or a goofy space Western like Firefly, Whedon’s work always retains the same quippy style and the same themes of individualism, choice and self-discovery. And he often seems to include the same few characters — Xander is Wash is Topher, to some extent — and a lot of his works seem to be facets of the same apocalyptic story, either before or after or during the apocalypse. Whedon has a voice and a storytelling sensibility all his own — and like the other people on this list, he’s created his own type of story which transcends whatever other labels you might slap on it.
