Yes. Some HUGE fans of the show will not see it if they find out what happened and will not see it again once they find out what happened.

If Josh wanted to do a sequel, he should have thought of that.

Yes, some fans aren't happy about events in the movie and are seemingly happy to leave the 'verse. That's their choice and their right and I for one wish them nothing but the best and hope that they find some soulless, mediocre, unambitious piece of genre schlock that fulfills their every need. Voyager seems to be the obvious choice but you know, it's not like there's a shortage of such unchallenging shows.

How many times did Harry Kim die, anyway? Is there any sort of conclusive count on that?

Truth be told, I heart Voyager, but I would rather cry through a dozen funerals in the firefly verse than see Janeway pull another time travel/alternate reality stunt.

I still saw it even after I knew what happened to Wash, yes I am a little still shocked over it but I still saw the movie again I do plan to see it again next friday (I have to go back to work next week, I loved my week off!)

I'm not "happy to leave the verse". I plan to watch the Firelfy DVD's till they wear out and then buy more.

I watched the DVD's this week also! I even just bought the Serenity Novel. I'm still thinking about the Serenity RPG Book. DOes the RPG book have the planets in them?

I'm NOT going to leave the verse anytime soon!

I think that that is an insignifigant (but annoyingly vocal) minority of the fandom,
I doubt if they are hurting ticket sales at all...
I've gotten loads of friends into 'Firefly'
ALL of them have seen the film
and not one of them objected to the more 'hard edged' tragedy aspects,
but of course they are older and prefer to go to films that a little more serious:
serious both in intent and execution....
and it isn't like we didn't get the humor & romance too.
Personally I felt that this film had it all,
and it was Joss' vision (how much worse if he had compromised and it wasn't a big success, better to go out on what you really believe in).

I think that Joss Whedon created something that was really wonderful,
most of the critics appreciated it,
and I believe the vast majority of the fans appreciate it too.
