Joss Whedon Wants To Get You Excited For Hillary, Everybody

Font Size:

Joss Whedon was the co-creator of Firefly, a show so libertarian that the ship was shaped like Drew Carey. So of course it was cancelled after 11 episodes, because everybody hates libertarians. And like all third-wave feminists in good standing, last year I was furious at Whedon for making the Black Widow sad that she can never have a child. Joss Whedon is problematic, is what I’m saying.

Now Whedon wants to atone. Now he wants to win back the Tumblr generation.

Natalie Jarvey, Hollywood Reporter:

Joss Whedon usually leaves the heroics for characters in his movies, but the Avengers director’s next project is battling what he believes could be a big threat in the real world.

Whedon has founded the pro-Hillary Clinton super PAC Save the Day and donated $1 million toward helping her beat Donald Trump in the presidential election. Instead of going on the defensive, Whedon is focusing on encouraging people to vote through a series of star-studded online videos. He’s hoping that these videos will resonate with several groups of people that are likely to vote for Clinton, including rural college-educated white women and groups that often have low voter turnout such as black men and millennials.

Sounds terrific. Let’s watch their first ad:

Well, at least it’s not another Marvel movie. The drop in quality was pretty steep between Whedon’s first one and Avengers: Age of Robots That Tell Jokes. Here he’s only insulting me for a few minutes, and, more importantly, for free.

Let me take a moment here to state that I never, ever, ever want to see Mark Ruffalo’s penis.

Well, maybe just the once.

I agree with some of what these utterly-isolated-from-American-society Hollywood liberals say, which is why I’ll be voting against the Democrats on Nov. 8. I’m writing in John McAfee for president — hey, if you want me to vote for a lunatic businessman, I’m goin’ all out — and then voting Republican all the way down the rest of the ballot. They don’t deserve even that, especially after the last few months, but I’m feeling generous.

Because this election is too important…

[The guy from Kiss Kiss Bang Bang] Too important…
[Some SNL bro] Too important…
[An even angrier-than-usual Don Cheadle] Too important…
[Scarlett Johansson in a super-tight t-shirt] Too important…
[The Pine-Sol lady, I think?] Too freakin’ important

…to vote for either of the two scummy creeps who’ve been foisted on us. Just say no.

P.S. None of these actors, who are of course better than us, ever mention either candidate by name. But notice how they not-so-obliquely bash Trump, without ever giving you a reason to vote for Hillary. Each side wants you to vote against the other side. And that’s all they’ve got. They can’t give you any other reason, because there is no other reason. If that’s enough for you, do what you think you need to do.

Also, it looks like Whedon’s abandoned Twitter account (he was chased away last year by the aforementioned feminists) has been taken over by what appears to be a Putin troll. Pretty funny.

P.P.S. Joss just started a new accout, so we can watch him quit Twitter all over again when he inevitably angers the Tumblr Brigade.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
