    Your list is just stupid.
    For example, Whedon did NOT write Alien 4. His script was completely discarded.

      And Abrams left most of "his" TV shows on someone else's hands. Alcatraz? LOL
      Toy Story is a bad film? No, and Joss Whedon was only one of the writers.
      That list is crap.

        he didn't say toy story was bad. He said that JJ Abrams wrote a bunch of bad movies that were worse then Whedon's efforts i.e. Toy Story and Titan A.E.. That was in favor of Joss Whedon.

            While they are both fans of cult media, Abrams is a hack & very superficial.
            Joss only
            seems
            superficial.

              Whedon wins. Pants down. No contest.
              Really wish he was doing Star Wars. Abrams doesn't need to be doing both Star Trek and Star Wars. He kinda effed up with Into Darkness imo. Boring ass movie.

                Nah, I actually prefer Abrams wasting his time with this commercialized Disney Star Wars.

                  No need for me to enter this conversation because you just said everything I would have said (although maybe not word-for-word).

                    I really like both I think I'll have to go with Whedon because he comes off like his own person and takes more time to deliver a more worthwhile project. Abrams these days seems to be trying to channel Spielberg as much as possible. I don't think we would see a show like Alias or Felicity from him in this day and age, it's all about being big with him. Oh, and lots of lens flares to boot.

                        It's kind of an odd comparison I feel, Whedon develops shows and stays on them and writes them for the entirety of their run in a more writer-fashion, Abrams is a more producer type who conceptualizes and then hands it off entirely to others. His name is on a lot of projects that he doesn't have a huge influence on. Beyond the first two episodes of Lost, he didn't write much of that show, if any. I think the only show he stayed on and wrote was Felicity and Alias.

                          I think it's am interesting one. I find I can enjoy Abrams works very easily, but often i find there is a certain sterile atmosphere in his work that makes it hard for me to connect with. I think he is better on television than on film, I find the characters in his films can be hard to connect with and understand.

                            I'd never thought of that before but I totally agree with you.
                            There's generally more warmth and/or passion in Whedon's stuff.

                              Abrams has nothing to Joss!
