Yep, have to say Titan AE was a decent watch. Much better than Final Fantasy - ugh! Don't see much in common with Firefly, though.

...still a little whimsical in the brain pan...

I think they wore their guns in a similar fashion in both Firefly and Titan.

Wow, that's a big one Chrisisall

i agree. the movie could have used another half hour or so of plot development. while i enjoy the complete CGI graphics that are so common these days, i still am somewhat partial to the old 2D animation. i felt kind of bad that the movie got such a bad rap.

I like the show … movie … thing. But I can not see any ties to Firefly worth talking of.

Aside from the obvious cultural overtones on the Human colony in AE, of course. Even you have to admit it bears a striking resemblance to the Eavesdown Docks on Persephone. And the way Humankind has adapted to life with aliens may not be a direct reflection of how Western and Eastern Cultures have blended in Firefly, but it's pretty darn close.

Quote:
Firefly is about people who left the world willingly, and have many home-worlds to call their own.
A.E. is about a race (humanity) that has been shattered in large part due to their total lack of a home-world.

I would say having to leave a world that was used up probably wasn't any more fun than having it ripped out from under you. I will agree with the shattered, however.

Quote:
Firefly is about surviving.
A.E. is about saving the world.

I would have to say that Humanity in AE is doing its darnedest to survive too - just not getting a whole lot of help in that area, or making it all that easy on themselves either for that matter. Hard to do when it's considered a minority.
You meant saving the BDU, right? Big Damn Universe? You know, since "the world" has been obliterated and all.

Quote:
So on. It’s just a completely different dynamic in my mind.

It's true, but Joss did dip into the environmental outline created for AE as a resource to build Firefly. It's too obvious (oop! that's me, being redundant) to ignore.

And you canNOT tell me that Korso was not a precursor to Jayne. I mean from the goatee to the betrayal to his fingerless gloves - all Korso would need is Adam Baldwin's voice and he'd be Jayne. Korso is smarter than Jayne, but then so is my cat. Not that that's a bad thing, of course.

All opinions mine.

Now that you go into that kind of detail, yeah, I guess there are some similarities.
No coincidence I like 'em both- for that very reason, I suspect.

And EST120, if you like the old 2D animation, check out Fire And Ice, due out on dvd in a few months.

and here I expected fisticuffs - you were so adamant about the lack of simularity and all. It's almost dissapointing.

Keep flying, Chris.

When there are points to be made, and a person makes 'em, the only intellegent recourse is to acknowledge 'em.

On the OTHER hand, orderin' me to "keep flying" as you say is something else! Wanna go? Go ahead, put 'em up! I'll make mincemeat outta ya!!

My favourite line was: "Intelligent guard, didn't see that one coming." and that's gotta be all Joss! Didn't know it at the time I bought it, but enough of Joss' imput survived on Titan to make it a much better than average 'toon.

And the dvd is soooo pretty.

Toon time Chrisisall

There are definately some great lines in there that scream Joss. I loved the backgrounds.

I don't agree with the theory that Korsko was the Jayne prototype, though. I think there are some similarities, but it seems to me like Korsko is what Mal might have been if he had lost every last drop of sympathy and compassion and only thought of himself.

1) Both captains.
2) Both had military service.
3) Both agree that somethings should not be taken as suggestions.

And i'm sure if Mal had a chance to name a planet he'd name it something original as well.

Akima: You can't call a planet "Bob."
Cale: So now you're the boss. You're the King of Bob.
Akima: Can't we just call it "Earth"?
Cale: No one said you have to live on Bob.
Akima: I'm never calling it that.

Keep shiny!
