I suppose you're right. But it just seems Hollywood makes some very specific, and unfortunate, assumptions when it comes to action/adventure/science-fiction fans and what they want to watch. Some of us want something besides an adolescent power fantasy.

So, my question is, how will you embrace (any)changes?
Personally I feel strongly that what we see on the screen THIS time will be Joss' vision...
the TV show involved constant compromises Joss had to make w/the suits at the network,
but the movie is his pure vision (or so I believe) and there fore I will embrace and rejoice in any changes Joss makes!

Well I'll embrace any changes that are realistic and not the whim of the suits at 'Versel. If say the bridge had changed and had different control panels then sometime during the movie this science happened:
Kaylee: Well Wash how do you like the new upgrade.
Wash: Its shiny, about time Mal sprung for an upgrade. What I was using before was older than Book.
Or if book had less poofy hair and this happened:
Mal: ‘Bout time you got a haircut.
Book: Well its not like I had a choice.
Simon: I’m sorry Shepherd I don’t know where she got the scissors.

I would accept this change since the characters acknowledge the change and explain it.

I have to throw a little bit in here as well...
Were the show to have gone on for 7 seasons, we would have seen changes in the characters, maybe even the set, and the storylines would have developed different ways. So, what's the movie, really? It's like skipping season 2 and *poof* ending up in Season 3. Everybody gets a little background so they know what they missed last season, and off they go.
Don't see what we have to worry about.
And I might also note...
If we (aka all the Browncoats and Internet Junkies) hype this thing up too much, or declare either its greatness or failure, we are doomed for dissapointment. It's 9 months away. Sure, be excited that there's a movie coming out, but accept that it will be what it will be. And be reayd to enjoy it. Don't cry out at every change, don't cry out at major changes, the movie will be the work of Joss, and gorramit, that's all right by me.

There's only two things I know for certain about the movie: 1.) I will love it 2.) If Joss doesn't give me some sort of satisfaction on both the Inara/Mal and Simon/Kaylee relationships, I will be quite cranky with him. That's really all I ask. :)
