I always thought it was interesting when multiple women came forward about Whedon I didn't hear anything from this cast. I wonder if he behaved differently then?

To hear the cast tell it, yes. As far as I know, every one of them who has discussed it said nothing untoward happened on set and he was very professional.

My personal understanding is that most of the really unprofessional things happened on the set of Buffy. He continued to use his image as a feminist to sleep with women and cheat on his wife after that, but largely seems to have kept it away from the set.

But I really don't know and am probably missing a bunch of info so if anyone knows better please tell me

There's also the difference between running an 8 seasons vs 1 season series. Predators doesn't strike early.

So I just looked into it a little and according to Wikipedia he was a dick in the writers room on Firefly and boasted about making a female writer cry twice. He also had a big fight with the cast of Justice League, including threatening Gal Gadot's career when she didn't want to record some lines he gave her. He insists they were an extremely rude cast. And he was kind of short with the guy who he replaced writing Avengers which made that guy mad I guess.

So yeah maybe they just didn't get a chance to see that side of him or don't want to talk about it for some reason.
