I wish it had been made in Chinese in the first place. Mostly because I'd then never have heard of the tedious pile of crap and its eternal special snowflake martyr fans.

I didn't even like the show but how are you still this angry

I was talking to someone about Enid Blyton earlier today, and a Firefly fan butted in and started talking about how Joss Whedon could have told the stories better using the Serenity fuckwits. Just unasked for, in a non SF forum, they had to lever their poster boy into the conversation and then start bitching about how it was too good to have been cancelled and how FOX had a political grievance against Joss. You just cannot escape those guys, not matter where you go.

Are you serious? Because that seems... insane and kind of unbelievable

But then would they use horrible mispronounced English half the time?

It would be hilarious if they did.

that would make my entire goddamn life

*gorram, I believe you mean. :p

This was my first thought.

I sincerely hope so

I hate white / american centric remakes. I think everyone is on that same page with that. This? This is a very good thing. This is having some significant culture put into a sci-fi story. And after the way the original violently excluded asians, I think its damned fitting to have an american property redistributed like this.

Violently?

Yes Violently. It wasn't just subtle racism that you get in most things where they pretend Asians don't exist or are all hiding somewhere off camera. They took asian culture, offered to empower it by making it the basis for the whole universe, then slammed the door on real life asians hoping to benefit from the taking of their culture. It was an open act of aggression and violence. Why? What's your problem? Is it just that you can't argue with my point so you're going to argue semantics over one word?

But surely Chinese culture appropriates and is influenced by western/white culture as well? I'm not negating your point - it was bizarre and wrong that Firefly had zero Asian characters considering the world it was set in. But all cultures copy and borrow shit from each other. Whiteys aren't the only ones.

I... don't know if I'd call it violent, but I'm Chinese and I rolled my eyes really hard when I heard about a show set in a universe where China is supposedly such a huge influence but there are no actual Chinese people in the cast. It's exactly what I've come to expect from Hollywood, unfortunately. It's right up there with Pacific Rim, for setting at least part of the movie in the whitest version of Hong Kong I've ever seen.

mte

That could be a really great remake, especially considering all the Chinese bits and pieces scattered through the original. If they remade it such that it was mostly Chinese culture with Western/space cowboy bits and pieces scattered around, it would be really fun.

A Chinese remake is actually a pretty awesome idea!

The way this secret is phrased, is this remake just something OP and others think would be a good idea, or is it something that is actually (or just potentially) happening?

yeah i really need to know if this is true or not. for reasons.

Your secret got me really excited because it made me think there was a Chinese adaptation in the works. Now I just feel disappointed.
