Let's analyze the serenity movie poster for a quick second


Just awful lol it looks like a bad source mod with the Ragdolls posed inhumanely. The explosion in the background could be a sprite for all I know

Like can you just see John Ward dick or whatever his name is going look like you're shooting walking okay shooting now walking

And the dude on the middle just looks confused as no one told him what to do other than stand like you need to take a poo poo with a mad maxed MP-7

The main loving rear end in a top hat on the right just looks disgusted like there's a goatse two degrees right and 6 degrees left that he just can't ubsee

The production value of this thing was loving trash

I liked Alan Tudyk's bit with the toy dinosaurs in the first episode. I know it's a deader than dead meme atp but it still makes me smile when I remember it.

Still no desire to watch the series ever again. Should probably sell the DVDs.

my mom went through a Buffy- and Angel-enjoying phase, but iirc she tried Firefly once and bounced right off of it. she hasn't, as far as I'm aware, sought out any further Jossery.

nowadays she's still a fan of several of the cast members of Buffy and Angel, but I think this series pushed her off the Whedon train for good

How DARE all of you besmirch the Serenity and it ragtag crew.

The one thing I did like about the show is that they used to sit together for meals. Not sure why that’s the thing I remember most, but it was a nice touch.

Joss is capable of some really good characterization and world building when he steps out of his own rear end in a top hat.

Although who knows how much of the cool stuff like that was actually him or someone else.

Whedon would be gone and forgotten by now if his haters weren't keeping his name alive. People act like he invented putting jokes in action movies. It's ridiculous. He didn't even define the vibe of the MCU. The entire package was already present in Iron Man.

This.

I remember when the live action Cowboy Bebop movie came out. It was obviously very, very bad, but people kept going on and on about how it's bad because of Joss Whedon and his insidious and all-pervasive influence. Oh, this is what JOSS WHEDON has done to CINEMA. Wasn't just random assholes online and on this forum. There were whole-rear end reviews ranting about that.

And no, he had nothing to do with the production, and no, nobody involved changed the concept to make it more like Firefly. It was just trying to capture the original anime's tone of "stylish, and gritty, and quirky, and often glib but also earnest" and failing to get anywhere close. Why? Because it was a live action anime adaptation. Wow, one of those just wasn't good? Better figure out the root cause here, movie scientists.
