Complaining about the young girl who can kickass thing is kinda dumb.

How come people dont ever complain about the large amount of male superheroes.........i guess no one thinks thats old news.

c'mon guys, if theres one thing Joss does best, it is write. Having seen Serenity, he's still got it.

Well said, Ax! "Young female protagonist" sounds like Hollywood pitch talk to me. Dumb the concept down to the bare minimum so that the studio execs can pigeon-hole it without straining their brains. You do that to any body of work and it'll start to sound repetitive. Not because of the work itself, but because of the sheer blandness of the adjectives.

As for me, I don't care what Joss wants to tell his next story about. If he's telling it, I want to listen.

I'll vote it as "plausible," but I'm still relatively certain that Joss's next film as writer/director will be "Wonder Woman."

After that, sure, "Goners," if... IF... somehow, someway, Serenity does not do well at the box office.

We must all do our best to make sure this does not happen, and make "Serenity Two" his post-Wonder Woman project.

AMIRITE PPL?

I had that same thought. I really did. But then I remembered two other shows Joss created--ANGEL and FIREFLY. Both had male protagonists as their main characters. I have a hunch SERENITY may be a bit different given the obviousness of River's prominence.

But it certainly came as no surprise that GONERS will center around a young woman.

A change-up would be nice, though. Joss likes going to the dark side so much it would actually be innovative if he directed a movie with a happy ending.
