It was okay the first time around. Nothing ground breaking or really exciting. This is just to save money by using old west settings and cheap CGI.
It was the characters, the chemistry of the cast, and some really good writing that made it amazing. The new one won’t have any of it.
Honestly, I'd like to see what someone else could come up with, something with less feminist girl power, less bitch-boy Mal. Tired of every white man in these shows being a bumbling idiot, even when he's a badass, he's nothing compared to the women in his life.
There was definitely a lot of "girl power" on the show, but I didn't get the vibe that Mal was outclassed by anyone except by River, who as a character obviously traded a normal human personality for her abilities.
He was the leader of the group, and it seemed clear to me that they would have fallen apart without him. It was a very campy show though. Everyone took turns doing goofy/embarrassing shit, including the women.
He was badass, but very rarely on his own. It was mostly, he has a gun but he is always shown up by others just because he is straight and white. Jayne got it worse, but Mal was always getting the "I got you, bad gu...whoops, dropped my guard, now I am caught, guess my women will save me." They did get the women right. Even Inara was great, and I hate whores.
