Disney Plus could be rebooting Firefly

Disney Plus Reportedly Rebooting Joss Whedon's Firefly

Joss Whedon still hasn't washed off the stench that Justice League left on his career, and if anything, it could mark the beginning of a downward spiral following Ray Fisher's accusations of misconduct. Once the Cyborg star went public with his claims and invited legal action from Whedon's...

Is this a good idea?

We Got This Covered + "reportedly" = probably nonsense.

That said, it's a setting worth exploring. As much bad stuff as has come out about Whedon, I want to say I hope he's not involved...but then I really dug The Nevers! Agh!

As much as I like Nathan Fillion, even he could not make Firefly watchable for me, so maybe a better version from Disney would be a good thing. Plus it would give those weird Star Wars haters some sci-fi to watch on Disney+.

Yep, I never understood why this show got so much traction. I just never got into it.

So maybe this is the reason. A reboot ala Battlestar Galactica but without Whedon in any way shape or form in order to make the brand more 'Disney' appropriate (i.e. Woke not kid friendly)

Yeah, I’m totally on board with Disney+ “ruining” things.

7, 8 and 9 weren't much better than 1, 2 and 3. Worse in some ways. And then there's Rogue 1 and God help me, but I liked Solo. Solid movies. The Mandalorian is good. Disney is hit and miss, and here's hoping that they hit with the Firefly reboot.

To a large degree, because of this:

To a large degree, because of this:

Well, to be fair; that's mostly just Nathan being Nathan. Let's face it even in his serious roles, he's got mad one-liner/reactionary skills.

It's also just great witty writing.

Lets see:

On this episode the crew of Serenity take on a job from a creepy guy called Nishka, to rob a train. The train heist doesn't go as planned, but Mal and Zoey escape by pretending to be a newly wed couple. Inara's respectible status as a compagnion ends up getting them out of trouble. But while there, they learn that they've stolen medical supplies that the people on that planet badly need. Mal has a change of heart, and decides to return the supplies, but makes a powerful enemy in the process.

By golly, is that a plot structure? I think it is! I wish the Mandalorian had a plot structure

Somehow, I read great witty writing as gritty writing at first. It had me scratching my head. My bad.

That's the scene that hooked me.
