Firefly actor Nathan Fillion has explained the decision to set the new animated series after the end of the live-action show but before the events of its follow-up movie, Serenity, and confirmed plans to bring back a fan-favorite character.
I always thought that was a weird call. I know Firefly didn’t really have a chance for revival back then, but killing two of the cast seemed excessive.
It hit hard tbh. I think it was great, makes the movie memorable and all that. I find it tacky when the main cast has an invisible invincibility shield.
Movies With Mikey has an interesting anecdote from a pre-release screening he saw of Serenity. Wash’s death was so unexpected that a woman in the audience started screaming and had a panic attack until she could be removed from the theater.
That part was pretty brutal, but it did make the stakes in the following hallway fight feel appropriately sky high.
Because they killed Wash in the movie.

Point of clarification … he killed the characters, not the cast, right? … right!?
“Thank God you’re here, Officer. These cast members just came in and kept killing themselves on my property!”

I’m imagining the stakes of her hallway fight in the theater.
And Book FFS :P
Remember the words of John A. Hollywood: “Everything can be retconned”
Wasn’t that Brett Con? I guess he’s Rhett Con now…
