@virtualbri Once they ruled out a podcast or a bobblehead that I kind of guessed it was going to be an animated show because I couldn't see them doing a live action.

My other guess was a possible audio book.

@virtualbri The link needs an app, but guessing from the hashtag that it's the animated Firefly?

I think it's time is done, as much as I loved it. Adam Baldwin and Joss Whedon have both tarnished it.

I don't know if the the preview for this is going to show up, but Nathan Fillion is talking about pitching a Firefly animated series with Marc Guggenheim of the Arrowverse and Tara Butters of Agent Carter and Dollhouse producing.

Guggenheim has also won an Emmy for writing on Guillermo del Toro's animated series' Tales of Acadia, so animation experience.

They have all the pieces together but a network to have it on.

I loathe the idea of some of the people getting money off of this, but....

[virtualbri@mastodon.online]

@CStamp Yeah, that's my main problem here.

@virtualbri@mastodon.online If Joss is involved (which I'm pretty sure he'd need to be) I'm out. Because fuck that guy. Which is unfortunate because I used to like Firefly and still like many of the cast. >.<

[virtualbri@mastodon.online]

@deathkitten It’s been long enough that they may cut him a check and he won’t involved. I know there are Trek producers in name only.

[deathkitten@firetribe.org]

@virtualbri@mastodon.online I guess we'll see what shakes out, but I'm skeptical since he keeps getting work even after what came out about him. Especially since Hollywood elite think his behavior is the norm. >.<

[virtualbri@mastodon.online]

@deathkitten and Adam Baldwin is an absolute nut job. Fine to restart this without him. It’s only going to survive with new audiences, so why not retool?

[deathkitten@firetribe.org]

@virtualbri@mastodon.online Absolutely. There are plenty of not shitty people who can do the himbo butt of jokes while also being the muscle arctype

@deathkitten @virtualbri Fillion says he has Whedon’s “approval,” which seems unnecessary but at least implies he is not involved. https://www.polygon.com/firefly-returns-as-an-animated-series-with-controversial-creator-joss-whedons-blessing/

As far as we know, Whedon isn’t continuing to do mass harm, making new Firefly less problematic than Hogwarts.

[deathkitten@firetribe.org]

@Vorsos@beige.party I mean, if our threshold of "less harm" is JK Terfling's IP, then we're already limboing in hell with the devil with that minimum threshold.

@deathkitten @virtualbri Fair. Not that I have any influence over events. I wouldn’t say more Firefly needs to exist at all costs, nor will Whedon get more royalties from me pirating it.
