It's not that the directors have gone anywhere, it's the nature of moviegoing audiences. People used to line up for The Godfather the way they line up for The Avengers now. One of those two movies mentioned requires a great director to execute the vision, one requires a great special effects team. When and if (emphasis on "if") we get to another era where the main focus is no longer on CGI effects and comic book storylines, we'll see great directors again.

Drew Goddard also wrote for Buffy and his first directing gig (Cabin in the Woods) was co-written by Joss Whedon.

I think I just piled on DD's high praise onto Goddard, thinking he had done more. Nope. Just that one pretty cool flick.
