I dont get the hype
>The Confederates are... the good guys?How did Whedon get away with this
>>222578801>Government over reach is... le bad?Because anyone with a lick of sense knows they were the good guys.
>>222578763The eternal debate rages on...
>>222578763Me either. I liked the pilot but that's it
>>222579135All of them, all at once while their husbands/bf watch in the corner.
>>222579135Jewel was a dumb whore, but cute.Morena was a smart whore, and not even cute.Summer is the only sane man's choice. Jewel Staite had the most outward charm, but her personality was like a girl from the Bible belt, she was more suited to being one of the cows on the farm than a man's wife. Conversations would always revolve around her limited cow thoughts and cow feelings. Even her "area of expertise" was mere memorization of technicalities, which engine is better than which other engine, etc. Good luck having an actual intellectual conversation. Eventually she would devolve into nothing more than a pet, just another set of chores for the man to take care of in exchange for occasional pussy. You would go from loving her to being bored with her to finding her annoying to total despair as you realize you chose a subhuman to be your life partner. Millions of men fall for this same trap, they marry a woman who looks good only to lurch in horror at the realization 3 months in that you've heard every thought she has in her head and you're never going to hear a new one, just the same ones over and over for the rest of your life.
>>222579135>>222579668I unironically liked the black chick the most, her ass was insaneMorena Baccarine is still a 11/10 in that tho
>>222578763That's how you spot a lower midwit. A dimwit doesn't question things but there's a range of 10 or so IQ points that ask questions but still can't tell the difference between firefly and a normal sci-fi. I guess maybe you're just pretending to be a lower midwit though.
>>222579135the space whore is like 5/10idk how anyone thinks she is hot. here scenes were so cringe because of this discrepancyalso christina hendricks is super hot in this telekino
It's a fun little sci-fi show and you can't go wrong with Nathan Fillion. He carries everything he's ever been in
>>222579135Summer is /ourgirl/
>>222581139gee someone should build a show around him in his prime as the lynchpin
The little Zac Efron jumpscare is funny
>>222578763If you want the full experience you should watch it in the butchered Fox broadcast order as it was originally aired that lead to it being cancelled because nobody knew what was going on without the two hour pilot episode establishing all the plot and characters first. And three episodes didn't air at all in the original US run.2: "The Train Job" September 20, 20023: "Bushwhacked" September 27, 20026: "Our Mrs. Reynolds" October 4, 20027: "Jaynestown" October 18, 20028: "Out of Gas" October 25, 20024: "Shindig" November 1, 20025: "Safe" November 8, 20029: "Ariel" November 15, 200210: "War Stories" December 6, 200214: "Objects in Space" December 13, 20021: "Serenity" December 20, 200211: "Trash" July 21, 2003 (UK)12: "The Message" July 28, 2003 (UK)13: "Heart of Gold" August 4, 2003 (UK)
>>222581287
>>222581287So when are you supposed to watch the movie?
>>222581354The Serenity movie takes place after the series. So at least the whole package is straightforward enough with 14 episodes if seen in the proper order then the movie at the end.
>>222581354At the end. It didn't come out until 2005
>>222581391>>222581375But Serenity is an episode.I'm being facetious btw. Just how mishandled this show was is baffling.
>>222581544Most of the situation as it stands is not FOX's fault, but Whedon's for writing the movie as a requiem for the show. It's from the heart, but it sealed or maybe communicated something Whedon already knew about the chance being missed. I mean, Mal literally shoves a firefly fan off the hovercraft and then puts a round in him in the FIRST SCENE. I've heard they were hoping for a sequel or a reboot. I've heard the manner and fact of Wash's death was because of him making Dodgeball or whatever. On balance, it's fucking obvious the movie is meant as an ending.
>>222581544The first episode and movie having the same name is Lucasian pottery that rhymes.
I remember being at a Barnes and Nobles and flipping through a Firefly comic book because I liked the show. The comic seemed awful.
I hate river. The show would be a million times better without her and in retrospect it's weird he kept writing damaged fucked up women that could also kick his ass.
>>222581833who's the next biggest wild card after her, Jayne? How many Jayne betrayal plotlines are you down for?
>>222578763Stupid proto-reddit show even the so called fans didn't watch..
>>222581899>Stupidbro just dropped a criticism of firefly that has never been used before
>>222581874I'll watch a THOUSAND Jane betrayals before I let another stupid river plotline develop! For real though you could pivot the hands-of-blue plotline to just be her brother stole tech or some shit and keep the intrigue angle. I mean I get the purpose of river's character was to have a through line but she's unnecessary
>>222581833She was supposed to be the big thing in the show. It just didn't work out that way because Nathan Fillion's quip kino just stole the show
>>222581931She's fine in the show and fully deployed in the film.
>>222581949In the film she's fine because she isn't written to be as much of a catatonic idiot savant. I wish we started off the show with film-river because she has way more agency in the film
>>222581967I think a vulnerable character is the perfect thing for the crew of hard asses. No children on the boat, no weak women. She's a compromise
>>222581987Yeah on paper I agree with you but I don't think she was written very well. And as an aside Kaylee was already that while also having a real personality. Show-river is just "fragile retard until they need her to suddenly be a badass."
I know a guy who literally named his dog Malcolm and his daughter Kaylee. Also as a DM he just randomly threw in a character named Inara he controlled who joined our party. I get the Firefly hate.
You’re the captain of the ship and River decides after all your adventures that she’s going to rape you.How do you stop her?
>>222578763Me either, and I really wanted to like it.
>>222582037Radio Inara for help handling her
>>222582037You can't, it has to happen whether you like it or not.
>>222582037...stop her?
>>222582073She's OP though. River is going to rape you if she decides to
You know how people talk about Hogwarts being a central and main character with Harry Potter? How the "boarding school with mates" aesthetic is comfy, inviting and a large part of the reason to enjoy HP?
>>222578763It's the only legit tv space weatern we ever got, the casting was good and it had no major flaws.The bar isn't set very high, the show has a unique aesthetic and isn't mindless slop, that coints for a lot.
>>222582097Oh I mean it in like a "what do you mean stop her" kinda way
>>222579135we had it so good...
>>222578763>>222579135>>222581391when is the new animated show coming out?
>>222582148the what
>>222582054This is a real man's show, narratively designed around adventures in outer space and surviving a sci-fi space age. That premise alone sets it above most, onto which the casting and production are laid like a precise clock movement. The main characters and cast in particular have perfect synergy.
>>222579135Kaylee>inara>river
>>222578865>not being allowed to own people and work them to death is overreach
>>222582103It's not the main reason but a big part of why I like the show is because it would be really cool to live in that world and be a space cowboy>>222582191This man speaks the truth
It made sense at the time.Millenial entertainment. Obviously it doesn't work now.
>>222582194Ancient Republican propaganda. The black slaves of yesteryear lived a more comfortable life than the wageslaves of today. There's simply no reason to work your slaves to death, there's too much investment put into them. Slaves are also allowed to buy their freedom and would operate their own plantations. Civil war was just a brazen power grab by the Republicans at the cost of American lives.
>>222582348>there's no reason to let a tractor go to rust good thing no one ever gets old or senile. the problem is giving flawed people undeserved power over others
>>222582389Old slaves are taken care of by their families. You guys really need to read up on this before getting your jimmies rustled.
>>222582437An old slave would admittedly be easier to work to death but that wasn't the implication.
>>222582437I was referring to the slave master getting old and acting irrational like a farmer who ruins equipment
>>222582448Slaves can retire, anon. The other anon is spouting old republican propaganda.>>222582475Then that would've been awful especially if there is no heir to curtail the old guy. But a couple of imaginary scenarios is barely any reason to drench US soil in American blood. The slavery thing was barely an issue, it wasn't really what the republicans were fighting for. They wanted to consolidate power. They got it, now here we are, slaves to Israel. Funny how that worked.
Crazy that Firefly was like the precursor to GooberGate
>>222582539It's not an imaginary scenario, it's an extremely charitable, phrased as inevitable human weakness scenario out of 10,000 that mostly involved actual wickedness.
Is Mal a cuck? He wants to bang every girl in the show but they're all banging other guys
>>222582576River is a virgin obviously
>>222582576Write an episode where Mal and Inara have sex. Should be easy, as it would happen in real life.
Nathan Fillion is relentlessly handsomehttps://youtu.be/nPMfEPPSfhQ?si=1BqsLi_M466ruQHb&t=288
I want to make a mosaic of the show but it might not capture the magic
>>222582672Kinda weird Mal and Inara never banged. She's a literal whore and she lives in his house. Why not just fuck? Did he secretly just want to bang Zoe that much?
>>222582762He isn't interested in Zoe or black women, period. The obvious answer is because their unrequited love is a big part of the character dynamic. However, that dynamic was almost played out after one season and she left the ship, which could potentially allow her to bang. Mal can just have another near death experience and go confess his love to her on her planet, then they're a typical seafaring couple. Husband lives on the ship and sees her once every few months at best.
>I watch Firefly at the same time as my parents start watching cop slop>we all realize Nathan Fillion is kino at the same timeUnfortunately for me I only get a few hours of Fillion while they get hundreds. It's been years now and they still haven't run out.
>>222578801Why didn't the US invade south america to end slavery there? Same concept applies.
>>222580813>Morena was a smart whore, and not even cute.this nigga right here gay as hell
>>222582806easier to disrupt through covert tactics and making the people think it was their own idea to revolt than to send an entire fighting force and force them to follow foreigners orders under threat of imprisonment/death.
>>222582803Nathan Fillion literally shows up in shitty Firefly cosplay in Castle
>>222578763you had to be there
>I'm a leaf in the wind, wash how I-AAWWUUGGHH
>>222582888also they weren't part of the constitutional union durr
>>222582803If you don't watch Castle for Stana then you are certified gay.
>>222581139is the rookie any good? seems fun and besides fillion i also like the chick who played two in dark matter. but the number of seasons has me worried it might be slop. i couldn't handle watching castle until the end either
>>222582986depends how old you are. if you're a boomer that enjoys network slop then yeah you'll enjoy it.
>>222583056no, not yet. damn that's a shame
>>222582986No, but you should watch this The Rookie. Dunno what it is with baseball and dad kino
>>222582148Just watch Cowboy Bebop.
>>222583132Spike dies
>>222582946
>>222582148still a few years out if it does get picked up.>>222582174some fans of the show wrote scripts for animated series, cast was promoting it and fillon was pitching it to studios.
wash made me watch resident alien and i tried hard to like it but had to tap out at like e5
>>222578801He's a proud Dixie feminist.https://youtu.be/CX39cPDWJbc
you can't take the sky from me
God I fucking HATE Nathan Fillion. He always comes off as the single smuggest, most self-obsessed up-his-own-ass piece of shit. Literally the "I won't be in your movie or show unless I'm the main character and get all the women all of the time" kind of idiot.
>>222583645no. i'm pretty sure he plays some kind of retarded comedy relief buffoon in marvelslop
>>222583109Also this Rookie, aka unofficial Dirty Harry 6.
>>222578763I tried watching the pilot but I couldn’t deal with the dialogue. I thought people were over exaggerating with the whole “Whedonspeak” meme, but holy shit. Every line has to be some sarcastic snarky one liner. Just constant quips back and forth.
>>222578763You just had to be there
>>222583832and in DCslop too
>>222578865>"good guys" are the ones that want to own other men (faggots) and see their women fuck them (cucks) and their race replaced by mixed mutts Indeed, Hollywood is full of fagcucks, no wonder why they simp so hard for the Cuckfederation.
>>222579135>debatethis has always been a /glau/ board
>>222584938Reminder that glauposting will NEVER be a thing.
The only plot elements I remember is that the literal whore was supposed to be the love interest, which is very cucked.
>>222584970It's a western, moron. The only virginal women on the frontier have special needs.
>>222583585He's a great actor. I wish that were enough for some people but nooo he has to write absolute trash material for himself.
>>222586503It was fun
>>222586540Bully. He got himself written out in Serenity because he wanted more money. Now he's going to mess up any reboot by writing part of it. Starting to get upset
>>222578763I think it's straight up libertarian dog shit.
Remember when the actors hyped a sequel for weeks and it turned out to be an animation
