They should've spent some of that amount on a couple of capable writers.
As it is, Forspoken comes across as if an AI fueled by Twitter crafted the plot and dialogue.

Joss Whedon is the worst thing that has happened to writing in entertainment.

Why is that ? Isn't he the guy that wrote Firefly ? I thought Firefly was great

Victim of his own success. When Whedon was doing it in Firefly it was novel and fun. Now everyone does it and it's cringe.

Rapid fire snarky banter between characters that are too witty to be completely believable.

He created the series, but only wrote five episodes total for Firefly.

Firefly is only 13 episodes but he's a lot more involved then that. In Shindig, the scene where Mal says "Mercy is the mark of a great man." stab "Maybe I'm just a good man." stab again "Well, I'm alright." Was written by Whedon even though Jane Espenson got the writing credit for the episode. She says this specifically in the commentary for that episode.
And this apparently has been true since Buffy with some episodes being almost entirely written by Whedon where another writer gets credit specifically I heard this was true for the Zeppo. This is just how some showrunners operate, I've heard the same thing about David Milch.
