Why do people act like fire fly was some GOAT level show?

Why do people act like fire fly was some GOAT level show?

there wasn't even enough of it to be considered good. all it had was the potential and foundation to possibly be good

>renaissance faire level costumes
>some of the ugliest and worst actors ever
>terrible cgi
>horrible script

I still don't know how this ever made it past a pilot

reddittors

Don’t forget the disgusting whore.

it had the Glau tho

The first season was great, but yeah the only reason that its exalted so much is because it was cancelled so prematurely and didn't get a chance for the show to become shit, which would have most likely happened seeing as it was Joss Whedon at the helm.

>cowboys in space

It vibes with the thespian and theater types. I actually like Firefly, but it was when I was working on a play in highschool when I learned they lauded this kind of stuff.

People used to suck Whedon's cock more than they do now. Pretty much the sole reason. This was at a time when he did Buffy/Angel, before shitpiles like Dollhouse, comics and Avengers.

They cancelled Dark Angel for this shit, you know.

The western/scifi thing was already done anyway and far better. Pic related.

The concept was kinda good. It was kinda like Farscape but more reddit.

I mean, Firefly was pretty good, but Buffy, Angel, and Dollhouse were all better Whedon shows. Well, maybe Dollhouse wasn't BETTER than Firefly, but it definitely wasn't worse. I think Firefly just got as popular as it did because Reddit still hasn't gotten over it's hard-on for sci-fi.

hey, I like Dollhouse. As for Dark Angel, first season was good but second season was shit

anyway yeah, Brisco County is fucking incredible

>dat dixie cousins

are we pretending the first avengers movie was bad now just because the mcu is too popular and won't go away? at the time we thought it was pretty good as far as popcorn blockbusters go?

you're not wrong about brisco county jr though, it had it all, cowboys, a doc brown, sluts, time travel, a black guy, everything.

For me, the entire thing doesn't work, because the context doesn't feel organic. I don't feel like I can trace the aesthetic to something that makes sense, instead I feel like it's just a checklist with Cowboys and Spaceships being checked. Same with the cast. I can't get a feeling that it makes sense for them to stay together and actually function, especially as outlaws. Their captain is a moron, their main muscle is a mutineer, their mechanic has no business being here, they only stick together and live because of plot mandate.

The whole show feels what I would call "rootless", there's no underlying organic logic to it.

It never got a chance to get to its second season, mind. Most TV shows, especially of this era, only really hit their stride by the second season.

Well sure, because it's a show mostly about character relationships and interactions, which is what plays are about.

Sup Forums universally hates this show because of some capeshit whedon reasons

Literally, LITERALLY
REDDIT

Just a comfy, cheesy show to watch. I don't think it's a great show but I do enjoy it

I love Buffy and like Firefly and Angel
not touching any of his other shows/movies

It's at best mediocre, user. It was only good at the time because it was an EVENT, but look at the plot, characterizations and execution. It lacks in all areas.

No, Avengers was always shit. Fuck off.

you forgot to tell me which website I need to fuck off to.

Any one. Any one but here.

The only one MCU movie I actually enjoyed was Winter Soldier. And maybe Guardians of the Galaxy, when I feel charitable.
