When Whedon made his quip, only the people involved in making the film had a real grasp on its plot and characters.
CLAIRE DEARING JURASSIC WORLD 1 TV
(Whedon has since deleted his Twitter account, but not because of his Jurassic World tweet.)īecause Whedon is a famous director and TV creator, and a well-respected voice when it comes to issues of gender and feminism, his comments became a news story of their own.

The controversy over whether Jurassic World is sexist started in April - approximately two months before the film's June 12 release - when Joss Whedon tweeted a response to one of its teasers. Ironically, the conversation about Jurassic World's sexism began with Age of Ultron director Joss Whedon But the debate goes beyond what Dearing (and Howard) leave on screen and delves into questions about art, about criticism, and inevitably about politics.
The outcry is rooted in the film's treatment of its female, non-dinosaur protagonist, the rigid operations manager Claire Dearing ( Bryce Dallas Howard).
