Jane Foster was the girlfriend of Donald Blake, who became the host of Thor, The God Of Thunder before he realised in an early Stan Lee retcon that he was
Doctor Horrible and
The Avengers, Whedon reunited with
Buffy‘s Faith, Eliza Dushku, to helm two seasons of a curious show called
Dollhouse.
Debuting on Fox in February of 2009, the series never did well in the ratings and was canceled by the network in January of 2010. It was an interesting show in a lot of ways, especially in terms of what it had to say about technology and identity. But what we mostly missed in
Dollhouse at the time that’s become far more clear as more and more allegations of Joss Whedon’s toxic behavior come to light is this: the series gave us an extremely good and deeply troubling idea of what Joss Whedon thought of women, their bodies, and their agency.
