Fan Effort to Revive Firefly Could be Dead

[Atmos Duality]

Heh. Perhaps now we'll have a TV series to stick next to the likes of FF7.
In that both fanbases will be demanding a remake for years after the fact; and nobody who matters will be listening.

Except FF7 got a bunch of pointless spinoffs that are worse than the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
Firefly, is as of yet, untainted. And I hope it stays that way.

Aye.
Though it's the point that the fanbases will continue to clamor for this for years after the fact regardless.
Hell, there's still a sizable mob of fans demanding that Squeenix remake FF7 DESPITE all the aforementioned abuse you brought up.

Of course, I'm also of the mind that has turned entirely on the idea of a FF7 remake. Squeenix had its chance, and not only blew it, but burned their bridge entirely with me.

Yeah, well, most of them actually LIKED those spinoffs (blindly) so of course they still want a remake.
But actually, the fact that Square came out and said, "We will not be remaking it," was kind of admirable. I mean, it doesn't redeem Square, but at least they know to leave that treasure alone and not touch it with remakes.

But back on topic, here's the thing... If Joss Whedon doesn't want to revive Firefly, then why force the issue? Sure, someone else can do it, but will it have the same charm? I'd be skeptical. Especially with Wash and Book dead... Serenity broke the status quo, and while that was brave and admirable, it also meant that even if Firefly was revived, it would NOT be the same.

As a sci-fi fan who grew up with Stargate and Star Wars, and as someone who adores games like Mass Effect, I can honestly say...

I don't care. Firefly, I thought, was really really REALLY bad.

This.
Wash wouldn't be in it.
End of story.

I hope those who donated right at the start got their money back.

 

[ryo02]

the fans could still buy it for themselves and fund their own series ?

 

[Nautical Honors Society]

Wash is dead, the show isn't coming back. I hope it gets to rest in peace now.

It's amusing how many people are chiming in with 'good, it was a bad show, I didn't like it'. If the show was that much of a waste of time, why give it a second glance?

Beautiful thing about Firefly. It's a beacon. Whether you're one of the people who loved it or people who didn't, you can't help but listen and chime in when it gets mentioned. It always gets people talking, even so long after the fact.

That's why it'll never die. And neither will our hope for more.

 

[StarkillerisDead]

I dunno whether there should be any more. Between the series and movie Firefly is kinda perfect. More of it, especially after so long would probably just ruin it.

 

[Kyoh]

The real crime is that it was taken off of air in the first place. Networks can be unbelievably stupid.

 

[Stu1701]

We're never going to see new Firefly, and I'm kind of glad. Firefly is an amazing series, but after Serenity I really don't see a new series being nearly as good. Serenity was the big finally, and when Whedon ends a show, he ENDS it.

 

[James White]

I still refuse to watch Firefly because I will not set myself up for disappointment. Why even subject myself to pain you guys feel for its death for something that will not be that impressive to me.

 

[sylekage]

As much as I'd love this show to come back, I don't think it's going to happen. Personally, if the show had gone past the first season, it could have spiraled into nothingness. I think we should keep it as an amazing show of the past and keep it that way.

 

[Shoelip]

Why does it even need to follow on from Serenity?

Buffy the show had it's own continuity that didn't quite match up with the movie (thank god), there's no really Firefly couldn't pick up where it left off or even have a reboot.

Yeah, it could get bad. So can everything else. If the possibility of failure was enough to keep people from doing things humanity would have gone extinct long ago.

I haven't seen anything to say Joss doesn't want to do it. Maybe he's moved on, but so far the only thing that's been concretely said is that he isn't associated with the fan revival movement. Anything else is just speculation.

Belief is the key in all of this. Fox never really believed in Firefly so they gave it crappy time slots, and showed it out of order. Consequently the already somewhat odd show seemed even odder, and not in the arguably good way that the fans have come to know and love, and people didn't watch it. This caused bad ratings, which confirmed Fox's suspicions that the show was "bad". So it was canceled.

 

[BabyRaptor]

Buffy should have been so lucky and X-Files wishes it had ended as well as Buffy.

And they didn't even let Buffy die. Have you seen the comic books? Ugh...

oh no im in tears i loved that show
