WASH: (deadpan) Oh god, oh god, we're all going to die?įANS SEEING THE MOVIE FOR THE FIRST TIME: LOL! Even if Whedon kills off a character, as he's been known to do, it couldn't possibly be Wash!įANS SEEING THIS AGAIN BECAUSE JOSS WHEDON IS OUR MASTER: Whedon, you bastard! By the way, if you saw the series, you know I'm the lovable, mild-mannered pilot with a deadpan sense of humor. PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN THE SERIES: Why is everybody cheering? SERENITY: *Flies through space, goes in for re-entry* JOSS WHEDON: Wasn't that a cool bunch of transitions? Now watch the intro scene designed for people who haven't seen the series!

If you read this before you see the movie, you will hate yourself! Additionally, it explores those cult features of Serenity-a playful engagement with genre, with high and low culture, with gender roles-that predisposed it to such a fierce following, one that would follow Whedon into future series and blockbuster projects such as The Avengers.(With apologies to Joss Whedon, and to the author of " The Silmarillion in 1000 Words".)Ĭontains many major spoilers do not link to this page without a warning! This book examines the relationship between the film and its peculiar cult following, largely established before a cult object even existed, and situates the film in relation to the series and its other transmedia continuations to plumb the status of different media texts and their platforms. A minor box-office success upon first release, Serenity continues to be a sci-fi favorite, attracting fans, cosplayers, fan fiction authors, and more to conventions and charity screenings internationally. Mourning their loss, fans of the show fought for more, making Serenity not just a cult film but a monument to cultdom. The cult television icon's feature directorial debut functions as an extension of his canceled Fox series Firefly. Joss Whedon’s Serenity (2005) is at once a symbol of failure and a triumphant success of fan activism.
