Disney Plus could be rebooting Firefly

[FitzTheRuke]

15 years later, River is the pilot, Zoe has a teenage kid, Mal is ready to retire and own some land somewhere way out on the edge of known space, and some specter of their past comes back to haunt them? That’s a good show.

I'd watch that. Unfortunately, there's nearly no way on earth that Disney would MAKE that.

Treasure Planet

...is one of the best cartoons ever made.

Oh of course, that’s part of why I’m opposed to a reboot. Because it’s Disney, is it would be a new cast PG family friendly reboot that is Firefly in name only, and the premise just isn’t interesting enough to warrant that.

Whedon is toxic right now and likely will not be part of any new version.

In what way?

In what way?

Cheated on his ex wife apparently while preaching feminism. Unless he's done something else idk about.

That all was a while ago. The latest Whedon cancellation comes from him apparently being terrible to work with during the reshoots on Justice League. The cast appear to be loyal to Snyder's vision, and have nothing nice to say about Whedon (I'm not clear on the details, not being a fan of celebrity gossip, in spite of just here just now perpetrating it).

Ah ok didn't know that.

In what way?

Ray Fisher (Cyborg) made several accusations about a toxic work environment and Gal Gadot had to talk to Warner Bros about issues with him.

Remember, the original was broadcast TV, and so was.. PG family friendly.

It was decidedly not family friendly.

And like...yes. We all know it was on broadcast TV.
