ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Created TV's most fearlessly butt-kicking action star with Buffy the
Vampire Slayer
PROPS: "Joss is
responsible for subverting the message of the horror genre- a genre traditionally
aimed at 13-year-old boys- and making it a form of empowerment for women.
Buffy gets to do all the things that women in [horror] movies can't do.
He's gotten her to the point where she can actually have sex and live!"
-David Graeber, assistant professor of anthropology at Yale University.
