“Hello. I’m Wash’s previously unmentioned identical twin brother Dry. I’m glad to be joining the crew. In memory of my brother would you guys mind calling me Wash? Great thanks.”
It’s set before the movie, sidestepping that problem.
People aren’t reading the article apparently based on the questions about Wash.
The animated series would be set between the events of the 2002 series and the 2005 big-screen continuation, Serenity
Please don’t screw that up…
They already did 😢
How so?
By making it animated.
It’s been over 20 years, if they did live action they’d have to probably ruin it by aging up every character 20 years. Also have to tone down action or else have them “mentor” a younger crew, which would probably also ruin it.
Animation could be very good. I don’t get why you’d immediately be dismissive.
As various franchises have played with how to resurrect an “older” franchise, extending the original cast seems to be the winner, but this show wouldn’t survive the age up probably.
If a show can pull off 20 year older characters it would be firefly. Could be an interesting scenario really.
I don’t like animation, never have and probably never will. I will of course give it a try and if others like it good for them. For me, personally, it’s very disappointing.
I just don’t know, they’d have to be pretty different, or else have their life paths be ‘stunted’. There’s 20 years of off-camera developments to reconcile. 20s to early 30s characters versus 40s to 50s really should be in very different places in their lives.
Besides, looks like they are bringing back Alan Tudyk, so for that they pretty much have to be set before the movie. Or else pull some Palpatine crap.
And that screws it up how?
At least watch it before passing judgement…
Nah they’re all old and chubby or plastic surgeried up now, it’d be weird to make it live action now
Is it just me or are voice acting and acting two different skill sets not every actor has? Love to be wrong but I am not sure it will translate well.
Many of the original cast are regular voice actors in games and animated series. I have zero worries in that regard. They were an extremely talented crew.
Here I am worried the animation won’t be able to catch some of their facial expressions that really added tremendous depth to the characters.
Oh for sure. Plenty of other things to be worried about beyond mere voices :)
I mean, they are different skills, but the cast of Firefly is pretty heavily stacked with people who do a LOT of voice acting. I don’t think it’ll be an issue.
Like, name a recent Disney movie that didn’t have Alan Tudyk in it.
Original cast set to return
I’d be ok if there was at least one exclusion there…
Harris is on a stake out with Dietrich so he probably wont he there.
Please tell me Nathan pushed The Button during the announcement.
I’ll take it, but what I really need right now is Nathan Fillion to ditch The Rookie asap and get back into sci-fi.
Maybe he can reprise Captain Hammer and do a song and dance number in the Superhero Retirement Home.
The trailer!
Would this be wash or post-wash?
I’ve been looking all day for something I’m less interested in watching. Still haven’t found it.
