Golden Girl

The devs recently responded to a similar question by saying the answer depends on how much we trust everything that the Dream Doctor tells us

There are also a few major problems that suggest the citadel won't be destroyed - first, it's very closely tied in with a major game system - the flashback system.
Second, we've actually seen the Dream Dcotor's promise to send Ouroboros crashing into the sea before we even met him - and Ramiel's arc didn't portray it as an event that was in any way good or positive.
Third, they keep adding new stuff to Ouroboros - after Ramiel we got Prometheus and the Incarnate merrit vendors, then the echo zones, and now SSA2.2 sends us there on a visit.
Obviously, they could move a lot of the stuff someplace else, like Prometheus to Cimerora, and the flashback system to the Midnighter Club, for example - but the fact that the keep on adding more stuff to Ouroboros not only after we saw it crashed into the sea but also after the identity of the Letter Writer was revealed, suggests that they're not planning on destroying it in the future.

Plus, the Dream Doctor has a huge balck mark against him for havign anythign to do with Protean, who's been shown in the comics and his handful of in game appearances to be a totally immoral, inhuman and sadistic killer.

Even if quite a bit of it would have been better off titled "deperate loyalist fantasies"

Well, that's basically what all the loyalists did once they encountered people who stood up to them - bullies are always cowards

There's someone called DJ Silicone?

There are revamps for Independence Port and apparently Kings Row too being worked on - so they are working to close the gap between Atlas and the newer 20+ zones.

And the bees will be female, and wear sashes.

It was always going to end with the defeat of the loyalists

Even when loyalists where goose-stepping around the zones in the GR beta, squealing their "for the greater good" lies, the Trial locations had already been built into the zones - it's just that no one knew that's what they were for at the time - so ignorance really was bliss for Tyrant's stormtroopers

Man, that's like...deep

I haven't really seen any evidence of that - certainly not in the game

Well, it proves a lack of guilt

There's less of her in part 2 - but it's still an important role

That's the default Brown Shirt defense - that the only reason Whedon isn't popular is because people are too stupid to understand his "genius" - when it's really a case of most people being able to see through him - assuming they've even heard of him in the first place.

I can - quite easily
And by the looks of it, so did the vast majorty of the TV watching the movie going public
Firefly flopped, Serenity bombed, Dollhouse was dead on arrival - Whedon needed Marvel to rescue him from his own vanity projects - and once he had better material to work with, and less freedom to indulge his stupidity, he finally produced a good quality piece of work.

I'm not - he's shallow, over-rated and has a way smaller following even among geeks than his small cult of fanatical fans are prepared to admit.

But the Avengers had to be light and flashy to work properly - it couldn't be a character driven movie because the collection of characters are too larger than life to work together in a more serious setting.

That's a Whedon trademark - but it didn't really damage the Avengers, because it wasn't trying to be a totally serious movie - so while a Whedon Batman would be getting into "Batman and Robin" territory, a Nolan Avengers really wouldn't be much better.
They've both been given comicbook properties that suit their separate styles, and they've both made successful movies because of it.
