So Wash will be alive? This was Joss Whedon's greatest sin until, well, everything else.

RIP Ron Glass

    I mean, narratively, killing Wash was an incredible decision. It changes the entire tone of the final act, because now it really feels like anyone could die. When the rest of the characters start racking up injuries there's a genuine tension. You start to wonder if maybe this is gonna be one of those "Heroes go out in a blaze of glory" endings.

    Whedon is a cunt, but that was some excellent writing.

    I'm guessing Alan's role will be voicing other characters, as he's a fairly well renowned voice actor.

    My understanding is that they're going treat the show and movie as canon, but I have no idea if they'll do that to the comics.

    there's an interview with Tudyk about doing the voice of Hei Hei, the chicken in Moana, where he does a take to the camera and does a deadpan "I went to Juliard" and that has always stuck with me as a super funny line
