The movie didn’t have much of an effect on my view of Firefly. I thought it was a great movie, but it didn’t feel like Firefly. It felt like Han Solo meets Buffy, which yeah that’s awesome, but it’s not Firefly, and I don’t think it was what Firefly was meant to be. It was just an attempt to Hollywoodize it. Firefly was supposed to be something of a film noir. It was supposed to be dark and ambiguous - it was never supposed to be River the Reaverslayer, but at the same time, that darkness and ambiguity helped to contrast the human spirit. You could have goodness and not be righteous. You could be a hero, and not be heroic.

Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.
