I feel that his strengths (where they are sparingly present) are in his writing of dialogue more than anything else. The first Avengers comes to mind as a well-structured action story with a ton of fun dialogue, but it looks like a local news team shot it. Everything about its visuals are bad. Then you have someone like Abrams - who I believe is an excellent technical director, but should never write a movie under any circumstance. He has his weaknesses (excessive camera movement and lens flairs), but overall he can shoot a movie really well. JJ Abrams in a good technical director in very superficial ways. He doesn't have an original bone in his body. It isn't his writing that is the main issue, it is the lack of any authenticity in the presentation. Alien: Covenant for example is a mess from a writing standpoint, but from a visual standpoint it is magnificent. J.J. Abrams could only dream of being an authentic visual filmmaker. I can actually mostly agree with that. Whedon just isn’t much better imo. His writing bit is old and tired and his direction is mediocre at best.
