They could have filmed it Arrested Development style. "What do you mean, ask Wash? He's at the other end of our modest ship!"

Different post had an example of the style.

Gotta keep that schedule clear for the Copaganda show

Disney owns it now, so 50/50 chance palpatine will return.

It's not like the movie cared all that much about continuity either. They should just ignore it entirely. Or as someone else I saw said, consider it just a fever dream during Out of Gas.

You mean you don't want Shepherd Book to be voiced by a reanimated corpse? 🤔

Zoë: Wash 2, you are twice the man Wash 1 was!

The animated series would be set between the events of the 2002 series and the 2005 big-screen continuation, Serenit

Should be fine, the spear is still dirty!

It's set before the movie, sidestepping that problem.

Many of the original cast are regular voice actors in games and animated series. I have zero worries in that regard. They were an extremely talented crew.

Alan Tudyk will just have to stand in for everyone else as well, he already voices every 3rd Disney character.

And I would absolutely watch it.

They are different but do feed into each other. When voice acting for a character, actors will be on camera, and they will be acting the part while talking into the mic. Animators will incorporate a lot of the voice actors' mannerisms, facial expressions, and motions into their final product because it makes the animation much more life-like. Its more than just sitting blankly in front of a mic.

I mean, they are different skills, but the cast of Firefly is pretty heavily stacked with people who do a LOT of voice acting. I don't think it'll be an issue.

Like, name a recent Disney movie that didn't have Alan Tudyk in it.

Maybe he can reprise Captain Hammer and do a song and dance number in the Superhero Retirement Home.

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.

I guess it depends if it's sequel or prequel. Maybe it's flashbacks.

Boom! Studios published it with with joss whedon as a storyline consultant

It's been a decade since I've seen either. Legends of tomorrow is classic CW superhero slop with B list character that first appeared in other shows like Arrow and The Flash. I remember liking agent Carter but I remember next to nothing about it other than it being a period piece marvel spy thriller.
