The firefly creator has slowly descended int o the deepest pits of Trump Derangement Syndrome. He’s been told my many friends to stay the fuck away from Twitter and he seemed to have done so last year, but he returned and this one was his latest today:
Sure as hell both Mal Reynolds and Buffy would had beaten the ever-loving shit out of him.
Special hell.
Hey now. Cap’n Mal was gonna go to the Special Hell for triflin’ with Christina Hendricks. I’m sure that most of the menfolk here would conjure that Miz Christina might just be worth a little fire and brimstone.
Joss Boy on the other hand- he’s just another Central Planets dude, more mouth than pants. Man’s got a right to his own opinion and nobody is gonna say that it’s a law you gotta like everybody, but badmouthin’ kids ’cause they’re standing next to someone you don’t hanker to? That’s pretty gorram low, and the fact that he don’t see it that way makes him even lower.
I’m pretty sure now that all the good parts of Firefly are Tim Minear’s.
As a former Chicagoan and non-Firefly watcher, I had to read the comment to know who Mal Reynolds is. I thought maybe it was a misspelled reference to former Illinois Congressman MEL Reynolds, who went to prison for pedophilia (among other things), was pardoned by Bill Clinton on his last day in office, and then went to work for Jesse Jackson.
All this newfangled whippersnappery is too much for me.
If you can ignore Joss Wheedon’s dumbassery, watch yourself some “Firefly”, then wrap it up with the movie “Serenity”. Strange to see the creator of some fine fiction (with loads of independent-minded folks taking care of themselves with guns, not using the government as their crutch) descend into such madness. But, hey, Hollywood.
He was writing fantasy after all…
You’d probably enjoy Firefly and then the movie Serenity. And then you will be amazed that the creator of that show and movie ended up being a liberal mental case.
