Even MORE homosexuals. Even MORE miscegenation. Even MORE diversity. Even MORE “sex work is real work” and “the captain is a cuckold to a literal whore.”
Even MORE “sex work is real work” and “the captain is a cuckold to a literal whore.”
This shit drove me nuts when the series originally aired, so I can't even imagine how bad they would make it now. Someone like Mal would never simp for some ran through whore. The attempted tear jerker scene where she breaks down because Mal fucked her friend has always just made me laugh. It takes some real audacity to expect him to stay celibate and wait for her while she flies around fucking randos.
They'll fuck it up. The original cast is too old and if this is set after the film then Wash and Shepherd are dead. Better to leave it be and do something else.
There are plenty of opportunities for new stories with new characters within the Firefly universe. But as you said, they’ll just do it objectively incorrectly, on purpose.
It’s like Toy Story. 3 was the end of those characters’ story. Period. But Disney is run by mentally ill jews (but I repeat myself) who, when presented with the opportunity to sell EVEN MORE toys of brand new characters (with new tie-ins to existing products), they’re too lazy and stupid to do that. Just whore out the existing characters until everyone hates them.
Cars 2 would have been far better if none of the original cars had been in it. Put them in the background and have the story set around the international race still, sure. But give us new main characters instead of Mater. That whole world can be explor–(COUGH COUGH PLANES COUGH COUGH)–ed… one instance of it being mediocre doesn’t mean give up. The whole world can be explored further without reverting to “known property.”
I wouldn't watch new Firefly at this point at all. But twenty years ago, imagine of they had gone the SG-1 route of different stories with different casts all over the setting.
Have a retro-futuristic remake of Gunsmoke, with settlers on a planet as they deal with odd wildlife and space indians. Maybe they find necrons or some shit. Lean into the mild cosmic horror the reavers represented.
Have a show set in an asteroid belt following the crew of an Alliance frigate trying to run down smugglers. Lean into the moral greyness of the original and paint this crew as good guys enforcing law in a dangerous and chaotic frontier.
Have a cyberpunk show in the capital of one of the core worlds, following megacorp intrigue.
The universe can be bigger than one space Peterbilt.
Oh yeah the golden age of sci fi at least in the west is over. Used to have a lot thst at least showed promise even if they lost their way in the last half like Andromeda.
I think it's pretty obvious Firefly was pretty character driven. And why it does have lore it's not a space opera. So I think you pose a good question. Where else would you go outside of this crew? What else would you find compelling?
It's a little like Halo, how much of the universe do you want to see outside of Master Chief?
Even if there are no woke injections (not betting against this) the Joss Whedon quippy gimmick is super played out now. This will probably feel extremely derivative at best.
By being massively over rated! Including an episode with heroic prostitution! If I recall correctly an implied public blow job was involved! Making prostitutes prestigious mystical figures! Making an episode about a slimy seductress redhead that almost gets the crew killed but then gets away and comes back again! Did I mention being over rated?
Isn't the premise of Firefly completely against modern day globalism/leftism?
The entire thing is government wants to control every aspect of peoples lives, tell them what they can do and what to think. It was freedom vs comfort. Truth vs propaganda.
I assume they will turn it in some Trump allegory? And once Trump is defeated utopia? The government is going to be a strict "conservative" government on all social issues - gays and trans most affected.
There also needs to be some racism allegory about the "white men government" keeping the blacks down.
Man, Hollywood just can't help but mindlessly remake, #-quel, and rehash shit. No wonder iron Lung handed them their ass. I'm exited for the upcoming kane pixels backrooms movie. This time I will deliberately avoid firefly.
I really like Firefly. I will also say that Firefly has to be the most over-rated piece of media out there and that the film was detrimental to the series.
What makes Firefly good? Its scarcity. But idiots who want more make it seem like it's the second coming of jesus, but really, it's just a standard Sci-Fi show of the time and little more. Had it had three, four, five seasons? It would have been on par with everything else. But it had one, and it became a meme as to just how good it really is.
Even MORE homosexuals. Even MORE miscegenation. Even MORE diversity. Even MORE “sex work is real work” and “the captain is a cuckold to a literal whore.”
Oh, and Simon and River will start a sexual relationship because that’s what jews want now.
Simon is Jewish now. And Jane is trans, because Jane is a girl's name.
Would it be problematic (like River’s food) for Simon–whose actor is a homosexual–to be jewish, though?
Not at all, Tel Aviv is the gayest city on Earth after all.

Fuck Inara. I'm team Saffron.
No no no she's a high class escort who provided companionship and comfort but not literal sex!
Somehow that's even worse.
They'll fuck it up. The original cast is too old and if this is set after the film then Wash and Shepherd are dead. Better to leave it be and do something else.
Yea, they'd have to recast everybody and no way that's not going to be a current year shitshow, like the new Malcolm X Files.

What is this Firefly universe? Generic galactic government, generic outlaws, a few
Native Americanssavages.As it was supposed to be cowboys in space, proper term is all hat and no cattle.
I think you'll find A LOT of sci fi is basically a western with a tech improvement.
Look at Star Trek with it's focus on exploration while DS9 is a frontier town setting..
My point is it's creatively bankrupt. The feds wear blue gloves, what else do you know about them?
In contrast to something like Farscape that for sure has weird muppets but at least they tried for something original.
Oh yeah the golden age of sci fi at least in the west is over. Used to have a lot thst at least showed promise even if they lost their way in the last half like Andromeda.

Not just that, but the actor for Shepard died ages ago.
The same way they fucked up the comic set after the movie.

It was mediocre.
More feet.
It's Joss Whedon, remember.
They've already fucked it up lol it's been two decades.
Haven't seen Summer Glau in awhile. She was the "it" girl for a second.
She was the "killed it" girl/albatross, too.
Firefly.
Alphas.
Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles.
Dollhouse? I feel like she was in that because it was another Whedon thing.
Every show she appeared in got cancelled soon after.
I'm still salty Alphas ended on that season 2 cliffhanger.
No mention of Joss Whedon. He got cancelled pretty hard for being a big meanie.
Just let it die. It had a fine and limited run, the movie was forgettable, and we don't need a redo.
Amusingly, with Joss Whedon being canceled for being the patient zero of male feminism, the show's writing is dead on arrival.
Anyway, I hope Summer Glau is still hot
Last thing I saw her in was Arrow about a decade ago. She wasn't bad then, but she's not in her 20s anymore.

My dude they do not care. They turned Star Trek into Glee.
They'll ass-rape the IP just as hard as they did with Star Trek and Star Wars.
I'm hoping for a post-op trans-man Mal played by a central african actor for maximum lulz.

Thanks for this!

Hollywood needs to end.
Fake and gay
For those who forgot, Adam Baldwin coined the hash tag GamerGate.
I know it's blasphemous, but I didn't actually like the original much.
The writing was just dumb.
it was a perfect little fun show for teenagers. including enough gooner-bait.
It already had that piss poor concluding movie about the 'Reavers' (which made no sense at all) to end the series.
Give it up, already. That show was overhyped the moment it hit the airwaves and Joss Whedon is persona non grata in Hollywoke.

Yes.
Firefly was always overrated.
