Writer for the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron as well as the first Avengers, Joss Whedon has taken issue with the first clip from Colin Trevorrow's Jurassic World following its debut on MTV two days ago - complaining that Bryce Dallas Howard's character, Claire is "stiff" and Chris Pratt's character, Owen is the "life force". Whedon made a remark, adding that he wished the clip wasn't 70's era sexist. Here's his tweet:
...and I'm too busy wishing this clip wasn't 70's era sexist. She's a stiff, he's a life-force - really? Still? https://t.co/qqts4jpSva

Coming from the man who wrote the dialogue for Tony Stark's Iron Man, the sexist comment has ignited a storm of backlash from fans, calling Whedon a hypocrit and ultimately defending Jurassic World's film clip publicly. Jurassic Park fans wasted no time expressing their displeasure with Whedon's remarks:
But what do you think? Do you think Whedon's remarks were justified? Or do you feel his comments were misplaced and hypocritical? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section!
