Because...DISNEY...



https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/firefly-reboot-disney.html


My source tells me that Disney is in early development on a Firefly reboot. The new show would start the story of Captain Mal Reynolds and his crew aboard the Serenity over from scratch, with an aim to make this a long-running series on Disney+. There is a twist here and the twist is that they see the show as ideal family-friendly programming for Disney+. My source tells me they’re planning to target it more at a PG-adventure, family audience and less at the sort of PG-13 dynamic the original Joss Whedon show went for.

This shift in tone suggests the new version of Firefly might drop characters like Inara, who is basically a prostitute. Instead it’ll probably lean more into the fun and adventure aspect of the universe’s stories. Fans may initially be unhappy, but it’s easy to see a way it could work.

My source was unable to confirm to me whether series creator Joss Whedon is actually involved in the new Firefly reboot. Whedon has recently been embroiled in a strange controversy with some of his former actors and it’s made him difficult to employ.

My second thought...where is the "adventure" part coming in at??

There's no aliens. The worlds have been terraformed. Anomalies have been mapped.

Besides the triple moon/sun/ purple plants gags...what's there to "explore"??

AND don't even begin to tell me they are going to do away with the petty thieving of it all???


Beginning to sound like Elsa And The Other Princesses Go To Space??


Ugh.

Yeah I'm not a big fan of that description. If Fox wasn't bad enough at dumbing it down, Disney is going to go above and beyond and turn them all into a family comedy. That is not a recipe for success IMO.

They mention they don't know if Joss is involved. I can't imagine he would be if they're trying to remove all the grit and drama from it.

So, basically this is Firefly in name only. I'm not interested.

So now we have FINO. Great.


Next they will start naming every other film Serenity, instead of only one film with that na......oh, wait....

They're going to do to "Firefly" what they did to "STAR WARS", ruin it.

Disney owns Star Wars and that is action packed. Those already made play on tv all the time so who knows. Personally, I was a fan of the original and don't much care to see a new cast.
