Firefly Reboot
 

I wonder how well this will go over? Is this even real?

Here's What to Expect From the Firefly Reboot From Disney+

It shouldn't be a "reboot". They should just put whatever remaining actors in it that they can and get back to it.

Also, online media hasn't used the term "reboot" correctly for years now. Basically they call any revival a "reboot".

After Joss Whedon was found to be a woman abuser, I'm surprised they are going ahead with one of his creations.

Indeed.
I wonder, if he is involved into this project in any capacity.

He has Liberal Privilege... unless he names names of other Lunatic Leftists & gets Clinton'd.

Several of the abuser Max Landis' projects are still being developed without his direct involvement, such as the follow ups to Bright and Chronicle. And the recent Superman animated movie Man of Tomorrow borrowed elements from Landis' American Alien comics without crediting him

Correct. That's bothered me for years now.

Joss Whedon won't be involved with the show's development.

That's good.

That article is literally fake news clickbait, outlandish claims without any actual source, not even a "trust me bro". With that said I love firefly but the franchise is dead and should be left alone. The movie serenity killed any desire for a show to take place after that, it tied loose ends in a boring way and now literally who cares. Rebooting it with new actors would also suck, those characters were the actors.

Every year there's a FAKE article about a FAKE Firefly reboot/revival and everyone buys into it and starts wishing upon a star.

Im with sdp wishing on that star for it not to happen. Too many 'reboots' that suck.

I loved Firefly, but...

Barf.

Don't want this, especially on Disney+.

As far as cult-classic T.V. series that were never properly resolved, I've always wished for a movie or a season 3 "ending" to James Cameron's Dark Angel with Jessica Alba from back in the day.

Talk about a franchise that has literally been forgotten with time. That show was great for a long time, but then it got away from the serious through-line and turned into something more akin to Buffy Vampire Slayer but with super-soldier-monsters instead.

I wonder how I'd feel about that show now if I re-watched it?

I've always been curious about that show. It has Cameron's involvement and Jessica Alba is pretty awesome. I guess I'm just afraid of hitting an unsatisfactory ending, as with most shows cancelled prematurely.

It's absolutely worth watching. It's initial premise, combined with the show's cool "social crowd", combined with the "future" elements all while Max builds a "normal life" are great. Season 2 gets a little "buffy" as the super soldiers all become "Monster of the week" but overall I thought it was great.

The ending..... could be consider an actual resolution. But it's less of a "final resolution" and more like a resolution from the movie "Underworld" - as in yeah it ended and wrapped things up, but it set the stage clearly for the next thing. It resolved much better than Firefly did, but Dark Angel could've used a movie.

Unfortunately, Jessica Alba is inexplicably hated in fan circles and James Cameron hasn't breathed one word about the franchise in 20 years. It's crazy too because in the current "Gen Y CW-Show World", Dark Angel would be a superior show in every way.

Is she? For what? The only flak I've ever heard thrown her way is about not getting nude for nude scenes and using body doubles or CGI head stuff.

Well I mean - she was chastised completely for her Invisible Woman role, none of her movies really caught any success after that - even when they tried her for the cliche "Romantic Comedy" thing which even Jennifer Aniston has held onto for 20 years now. She's fallen out of acting almost completely.

And I think your example there actually goes a lot farther than just the nude scenes thing - I think she's been sort of the general poster child for male-hate-psychology involving "bring the hot chick down a notch" and female-hate-psychology involving "this chick has it all and I hate her". :lol:

I think she's one of those people who is a magnet for that kind of stuff. Not saying that she's actually a great AK!-tress or anything, but still....
