So, #Firefly is coming back, animated, good. Serial harasser Joss Whedon is not involved, good. Outspoken transphobe and father of GamerGate Adam Baldwin is coming back, bad. Very bad. Disappointing even. They can’t take the sky from me, but I’ll have to skip this one.

@macmanx that stinks 😐 I really enjoyed the movie and series, but hard pass here as well

@macmanx @alice never heard of this guy, guess he's sucked for over a decade https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/3ay3mx/why_is_adam_baldwin_so_controversial_right_now/

(I never saw firefly or the movie, so idk)

@macmanx I back not having Whedon involved, but I've always been curious where he saw the storyline go before Fox killed it. Even if Baldwin also weren't involved, will the new one still "be" Firefly or just a story in the same universe? The cast definitely made the show, but I'm not sure it ends up good in the same way, especially animated where you won't get those in-person cast interactions. Maybe that's fine and it can be good in its own way (except for Baldwin's involvement)
@macmanx
Pretty sure I couldn't enjoy something knowing that those involved use the money to live it up while my rights get questioned and revoked. At this point, I wonder if the entertainment industry just needs a total reset just to get an entire production team that hasn't exploited their power yet and actually starts with checks and balances for their behavior.
@macmanx What is firefly?
@eragon Something no longer worth watching.
@macmanx ...
I have no idea who those people are and what this is about. I tried to watch that Instagram post but it makes no sense if you don't already know what its all about...
Can you explain more?
@eragon I don’t know why you’re engaging then? 🤷‍♂️ Check Wikipedia or your search engine of choice.

@macmanx look if you look firefly the first result is the insect. You're not really helping me to understand what you're talking about.
Just tell me what it is. Is it a movie? A company? Some YouTube guy? What the fuck is firefly in this context?

If you don't want to answer, just don't do it. Leave it to someone else, anyone who knows.

@eragon If you use the key words from the toot: Firefly, Joss Whedon, and Adam Baldwin, you’ll find https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_(TV_series)
Firefly (TV series) - Wikipedia

@macmanx I'm absolutely skipping this one. Not interested in animated material that merely tries to explore the timeline that has been amply filled in by the comics.

A "25 years later" live action one-shot without Whedon *and* without Baldwin would have been way more interesting to me.
