The 'If It Was Written By Joss Whedon' meme is a satirical trend that mocks the specific writing tropes associated with screenwriter Joss Whedon, known for his work on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the early Avengers films. The meme highlights 'Whedonisms'—a style of dialogue characterized by snarky banter, subverting dramatic tension with self-aware jokes, and the repetitive use of phrases like 'Well, that just happened.' It exploded in popularity on social media as fans began reimagining serious films, such as Dune or The Batman, with cringe-worthy, quippy dialogue to poke fun at the perceived over-saturation of this writing style in modern blockbusters.
