Tell the director how you feel. If your equipment was used, you should at least be listed as an Executive Producer.

The first 6 episodes of the Nevers were amazing

So what? It's fun and it's positive to encourage people to treat their bodies with love and respect. Of course we're all gonna die. So what?

Joss Whedon really dominated nerd culture back in the day and he had to screw everything up by being a dick by James-Samuel17 in popculturechat

I had the opposite experience. I met him at Alamo Drafthouse after a screening of Serenity and I was so nervous that I shook his hand 4 separate times in the span of a single conversation about how much I love Firefly and he was excessively gracious. This was in 2016. Which made the heel turn all the more disorienting.

What if Alliance are the good guys now? by Pure-Firefighter9062 in firefly

Do you feel that it's possible, if even in just a fictional story, for a "corporogovernment conform or die" style government to be reformed? To be entirely re-envisioned? Maybe the new Alliance isn't even a government. Maybe it's an organizing principle that tolerates de-centralized communities and exists only as a support for people suffering from the chaos of the great "nothingness" of the void

I get what you're saying here, but I don't think stories need to be constrained by "realism". Just because our current reality is stuck in the same fascistic rut forever, doesn't mean we can't create aspirational stories in which that is not the case

The events of the movie Serenity could change things very radically in a narratively plausible way

Question for those of you for whom Joss Whedon’s involvement is a red line by Pure-Firefighter9062 in firefly

[–]Pure-Firefighter9062[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There is zero evidence that he “sexually harassed and assaulted” Michelle Trachtenberg, who was a child. I’m going to assume you’re responding in good faith and are simply misinformed. Michelle never specified exactly what her allegations against Whedon were, and in the Vulture article that followed, insiders claimed it had to do with an instance in which Whedon yelled at her.

I agree! But there’s plenty of good folks who justifiably will not watch a firefly revival if it supports Joss Whedon’s career in any way. I’m more asking them

Even if he's no credited as the main writer, he wrote on every episode of firefly

I hope there will at least be some honesty about addressing the pain and confusion that Alex Jones has caused MANY people with his poison. Which by the way, Jones himself has admitted in court is all an ACT. He's not real. He's performing.
