Joss Whedon Compares Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. To Buffy’s The Zeppo Episode


In a recent interview to EW, director, writer and producer Joss Whedon says that what he likes about the show is that it pay attention to the characters that are not super but live in the superhero world.

“This is basically a TV series of ‘The Zeppo’ [episode of Buffy], which was a very deliberate deconstruction of a Buffy episode in order to star the person who mattered the least,” Whedon says. “The people who are ignored are the people I’ve been writing as my heroes from day one. There’s a world of superheroes and superstars, they’re celebrities, and that’s a complicated world — particularly complicated for people who don’t have the superpowers, the disenfranchised. Now obviously there’s going to be hijinks and hilarity and sex and gadgets and all the things that made people buy the comics. But that’s what the show really is about to me, and that’s what Clark Gregg embodies: the Everyman.”
