CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Wash (Alan Tudyk tries to safely pilot Serenity through an intense space battle.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
A band of renegades on the run in outer space get in more hot water than they anticipated in this sci-fi action-adventure adapted from the television series Firefly. In the 26th century, the galaxy has been colonized by a military force known as the Alliance, but its leadership has not gone unquestioned. The Alliance was once challenged by a league of rebels known as the Independents, but the Alliance emerged victorious after a brutal civil war, with the surviving Independents scattering around the galaxy. Also wandering the edges of the galaxy are the Reavers, who have won few allies due to their violent behavior and habit of ripping apart their enemies and eating them before they're dead. Capt. Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds (Nathan Fillion), who fought as an Independent in the galactic war, is the head of Serenity, a rogue frieghter ship whose crew includes Mal's first mate, Zoe (Gina Torres), who fought alongside him in the war, her husband, hotshot pilot Wash (Alan Tudyk), sunny but dependable mechanic Kaylee (Jewel Staite), and hard-nosed gunman Jayne (Adam Baldwin). The crew of Serenity wander the galaxy, taking on whatever work they can get, from criminal activities like smuggling and stealing to legitimately offering transport to travelers. Passengers aboard Serenity include professional "companion" Inara (Morena Baccarin) and holy man Shepherd Book (Ron Glass), but the real trouble aboard the ship comes with the arrival of Simon (Sean Maher) and his teenage sister, River Tam (Summer Glau). In time, the crew discovers that River has remarkable psychic powers and was being held captive by Alliance forces until Simon came to her rescue. Now the Alliance is hot on the heels of Serenity and its passengers, with The Operative (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a sinister Alliance tracker, leading the chase. Serenity was written and directed by Joss Whedon (in his directorial debut), creator of Firefly, which only lasted 11 weeks on the air but gained a powerful cult following who rallied to get the show released on DVD after its cancellation, leading to impressive home-video sales and and an eventual motion picture deal. A couple of months prior to Serenity's theatrical release, reruns of Firefly were picked up by the Sci-Fi channel, adding even more fans to its cult following.

The thing that always tickled me about this scene was this was literally Captain Reynolds forcing the Alliance to clean up their own mess.
Chickens come home to roost
so true :)
_"There are a lot of innocent people being killed in the air right now."_
@@MostlyPennyCat 'You have no idea how true that is.'
An abandoned conscience often finds its way home, with a gun in its hand.
1:30 "Target the Reavers...target the Reavers! Target everyone! SOMEBODY FIRE!" best quote ever :D
and immediately afterwards all hell breaks lose. So cool.
Literally me in Stellaris xD
Damn. Mordos really out in space lookin for sorcerers.
@@ToreDL87 LOL, I know that feeling well!
"Fire a gun, lunch a missile, DO SOME DAMAGE!"
I love the smug look and ice cold calm demeanor being wiped off that guys face and him panicking, probably for the first time in his career.
He's a great actor when it comes to facial expressions, because you can litterally see the shift to fear.
@@BlackLiger788 Fear, yes! But not the "I just failed my clean underwear check" level!!
Mirrored by the officer standing next to him, whose smug smile similarly changes to horror when he sees the Reavers.
'Bastards not even chancing course.' Always loved that line and the inkling or admiration and respect for Mal, who sees a fleet of alliance warships and doesn't even try to avoid them, only to quickly be replaced by horror and dismay.
I got the impression that the Operative was thinking how stupid they were, charging the Alliance navy until the Reavers appeared.
@@ethenallen1388 This. There's been a growing habit of projecting hidden admiration onto villains lately. Sometimes it really is there, but mostly not lol
@@Onigirli certainlt when the villain is fascinating, well-written and acted. this isn't a new thing in film discussion. and I'd agree that his delivery is meant to show a tiny bit of, at the very least, acknowledgement of mal's obduracy at the end, a quality central to the operative's own character
@@ethenallen1388Remember. the Operative valued someone facing up taking responsibility for their actions and granting them an "Honorable Death". Serenity sailing right into the guns (in my opinion) was an indication he felt Mal was not going to try to run from this fight and do the Honorable thing.
Oh how little the Operative really understood Captain Reynolds.
@@MrShadowpanther3 But Mal was being nice! The Alliance created the Reavers and Mal was letting the Alliance clean up their own mess!!! (lol)
Notice that the Operative KNEW about the Reavers!!
I love how the Operative is all cocky "bastard's not even changing course", and then a fleet of Reavers come out and he does a complete 180 and just starts losing his shit.
There's an excellent parallel in the movie Freddy Vs. Jason, when Freddy realizes he's in the real world, in a cabin at Camp Crystal Lake, that's on fire, with Jason Voorhees.
"Dont fear the Reavers"....updated Blue Oyster Cult.
Well wouldn't you when you see a literal fleet of canniablistic wack jobs suddenly appear and all bearing right down on you?
@@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent Ummmm,.... YEAH!
But seeing Mr. Cool-Assassin lose it, well, That's just whip cream on my coffee!
PLUS: Between him losing it, Washburne flying and River's slay-fest this must be the Best Sci Fi movie ending EVER!
@Mason I see you are also a man of culture.
My favorite part of this movie. The moment I realized what the crew of Serenity were about to do and then when I saw them deliberately pissing the reavers off I just knew what was about to unfold and it was glorious. This portion of the movie pretty much sums up the entirety of Firefly and moreso the concept of the crew and the ship. An irrelevant speck flying around in the black amongst titans of the quadrant picking the bones clean and turning everything upside down when they are truly backed into a corner.
This part of the movie is amazing.
This is a "so much Joss Whedon turn of events" and so fitting for the Malcolm Reynolds character in this movie... I like it when you expect a nice clean "fight" and then all hell breaks loose.
Agreed. It should be used as examples in writing classes for how to do set ups and pay offs.
The thing that Serenity gets right that no other Sci-fi I know of does is the space battle. Space is 3-dimensional, and that is very much shown in this scene when the ships start criss-crossing paths and utilizing that 3d space and it all becomes kinda like a maze
that, and when ships get crippled or destroyed, they just float there on whatever inertia they had before they died.
in most other scifi and especially in star wars, when a space cruiser dies, they begin listing and nose diving as if they were a ship that took a massive hull breach and began taking on water ridiculously fast. or like an airplane that lost thrust. it annoys the piss outta me.
@@flappy7373 Or they fall straight down like a blimp
@@PresidentSunday exactly! it's so annoying! you can immediately tell when a show was made by an idiot when that happens.
@@therealist3495 really? cause i see in expanse most ships facing down each other. over ganymede, the battle between roci and the stealth frigate at the station. etc. sure weapons can be fire long range but the full blown battle takes place close range. in space theres no reason not to turn tail and run unless you're defending an objective.
@@thirdworldrider6991 That's because most time that are space battles there, they are defending an objective. Besides, most space battles in The Expanse are commonly taken between either small ships vs small ships or small ships vs big ones (such as the Donnager vs Anubis' fleet). They also fight each other closely when using machine guns but missiles are a whole different story.
The problem is that rarely we saw a battle that was expected, such as the battle over Ganymede, it was something that just popped out from nowhere, so ships started to shoot each other from where they were. The only actual battle that all the ships were expecting to happen (not as it was supposed to be but you can see their formation) was the battle over Io. And there we could see how the MCRN ships were very far away from the UN ones.
I appreciate that at 1:24 you can see to the bottom-left of Serenity the exact Reaver ship that they encounter in the pilot episode that they escape with the Crazy Ivan, so even that old nightmare still makes it here to the last fight of the Reavers.
I love how the Reavers fleet seems to pull up short when they come out, like "Wait, what the hell?!"
Even complete fucking maniacs know when they might have bit off more than they can chew. Takes alot though. A fucking lot.
I take the other way and they took their hands off the controls to wipe their drool s before attacking
Great eye, I would've never noticed if not for your comment.
@@michaelmartin8337
Exactly. For them it's probably the equivalent of thinking you're getting a snack when instead you come across the whole buffet.
Yeah I think that to, I think it's one of the most epic space entry's, imagine the shock of both sides
Still after so many years, possibly one of the single best space combat scenes committed to film. And you STILL have to love Jayne...in the middle of a space battle and he runs on the bridge with a gun like he is going to help out with it. :)
just looking at this scene, it reminds me of something that someone did in EVE Online. A player belonging to a large group was trying to defeat a massive alliance and couldn't cause their defensive fleets were too strong, so he entered a system belonging to that alliance's rival that they were at war with blew up a lot of stuff and when the fleet sent to retaliate showed up he warped into the alliance's territory and lead the rival's fleet to the main defensive fleet. His group then took a good chunk of territory while the battle took place because all the defensive fleets joined the fight.
jayne's terrified of reavers, remember. makes sense he would be clutching his gun like a safety blanket whilst flying through their fleet
If we throw TV into the mix, Babylon 5's Battle of Coriana VI is a comparable moment.
Two ancient, unknowable galactic archrivals with peak technology decide they're tired of the other existing and want to remedy that, but then the scrappy younger races show up to punch them both in the faces using nukes for the gall of fooling them as pawns for thousands of years.
Whoever wrote Mass Effect 3 clipped this whole plot.
@@ayanithtalreignWhat about the Battle for B5 Independence?
The best part of this scene is the poor insignificant radar guy who says "sir?!" when he sees the 50+ reaver ships all show up on his screen.
Oh, yes.
It sort've looks like that guy gets his gun taken (once he's dead) by the operative as he flees the capital ship in a later scene, which is funny. Poor guy lmao
And also the officer next to the Operative who just is like shaking is head NOPE, turns around and walks away, probably to an escape pod.
That shot at 1:29 is epic. Trapped between fear and consequence, staring down a barrel while running for your life. The deafening silence of space the ship's only companion as it breaches through the atmosphere and straight into the cacophonous jaws of war. This scene was very well crafted.
No, Inara was on there, so her and silence were the Companions
"I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar."
I love this movie.
What does that mean 😅
Does ANYONE know what that means!?
nothing. just like he says like a leaf on the wind.
one of the most underrated shows and movie ever. That space scene alone is awesome.
Pretty sure Nathan Fillion watches this video every so often as he whispers "man, I would love to make a sequel to this baby"
Probably one of my favorite moments in a movie. That look on his face when every reaver in the verse comes through that cloud. Priceless.
Is no one going to point out that we also just witnessed a ship lassoing another one hahaha
Ethan Reber It's a space western, there got to be lassoing! 😄
Yep. Those Reaver ships are really cleverly designed.
The ships have tow cables attached to harpoon clamps
That's a reaver tactic. They harpoon ships and spin them, either disabling the crew or outright KILLING them with the sudden centrifugal force (probably enough to counter act any 'artificial gravity' or inertia dampeners'. When Reavers fight you can guess their tactics by thinking about 'how much pain can they inflict BEFORE they kill you" :D
@@dstacyify there's a mod is space engineers that has revers
1:29 is such a powerful shot.
Similar to those scenes in Rogue One (and the other Star Wars im sure), where you have the entire fleet behind you.
But in this case, you have your most hated enemy right behind engaging your probably slightly less hated enemy in front of you.
I also thought of Star Wars on seeing this clip. I was thinking "who needs Revenge of the Sith?"
Magic Serenity is so small compared to everyone else. Amazing shot
I say that Aliance is his most hated enemy.
Ma'lash Hated? Maybe. Feared? Oh hell no...
this scene is better than Either Rouge One or Revenge of the Sith since this has tons of meaning and subtext.
I just like it how the operative freaks out and starts losing his shit when he sees an entire fleet of Reavers
The reavers love to torture their victims to death in the most psychotic ways imaginable which would make even Jeffrey Dahlmer the notorious serial murderer puke his guts out
If you think about it he's the only one in that alliance fleet having an appropriate reaction. They're all supposed to believe Reavers aren't real, yet faced with the truth he's the first/only one to come to his senses and lead his men to target the Reavers and open fire.
I miss you Wash....you were a magnificent leaf on the wind. I loved watching you soar and still do.
“There’s a lot of innocent people dying up there right now”
“You have no idea how true that is”
One of the best space battle sequences in all of cinema.
it was, BUT it was too short, but VERY impressive for its length
The best
One of the best scenes ever! This movie and the firefly series is so underrated its criminal!
The entire cast in this movie was amazing, and Chiwetel Ejiofor as the Antagonist was just Superb!
Couldn't agree more...
"Somebody Fire!" So much for the Operative being cool, calm, and collective!
Dear Immovable object, meet unstoppable force. With love, Mal.
@@mandi8345You! I like how you think.
Nothing like starting up a major space battle between both your enemies, to make you feel good.
I put "somebody fire" in the search bar and this was the first video, im impressed lol
"Target the Reavers!" "But sir! The Reavers don't exist!" "Target the Reavers!!!"
@Venge Ance this was only a small fraction of the entire Reaver fleet, not all of them. As there are tens of thousands of Reavers and the number of ships we saw at Miranda is far greater than what we see here.
@@wiseguy01 i feel like those huge cruisers would need crews in the hundreds or thousands to operate.. that reaver fleet definitely wouldve needed thousands or tens of thousands of reavers to crew them.. wouldn't they?
i mean, a real life aircraft carrier has a crew compliment of ~5000, right?
@@flappy7373 that depends, Reaver ships don't work like traditional ships as they are crewed by lunatics. In canon they don't even employ radiation shielding, something normal sane crews view as suicidal. So they may neglect the ships in many other areas just because they don't care and thus use fewer crewmen overall.
@@wiseguy01 yeah you're probably right about that. I wonder how many you'd need if you're neglecting everything until it breaks down.. and I also wonder how long the reavers would even live without any shielding on their engines? Maybe the alliance's plan was just to wait them out till they died from irradiation.
Man, I wish serenity comes back.. even if someone makes an anime or something, I don't really care. I just want more story!
Like, who was book? Was he an operative like the one hunting river? Stuff like that.
@@flappy7373 automation and computers my friend.
“It’s okay, I’m a leaf on the wind!” “What does that mean?!”
If you actualy want to know what it means, it refers to flowing with with the current, not forcing your way through. A leaf on the wind wont hit the tree, it will flow right beside it.
Be light like feather
@@ferret1252 It also means it's already dead. Since the leaf is flowing through the air, separated from the tree.
@@PikeBishop1
... I hate you, you know that?
"It means, Master Baggins, you should never - underestimate dwarves"
Those Reavers that don't exist are enough to wipe the smirk off the Operative's face, apparently :)
Man, one of the most fantastic shows ever made, and they cancelled it. Motherf****** I say!
Yet the Big Bang Theory is still on.
That's Fox for you.
Because that's not a Fox show being shown on a Fox channel.
#Hollywood #Amazon #Netflix BRING BACK SERENITY! Or Make Serenity 2!!!
liberals have no common sense - or brain cells
They cancelled Futurama for the same reason - it was doing too good
My wife and I saw this movie before we even knew about Firefly. This movie did an incredible job of introducing us to the characters; it was so well done.
Likewise saw it with an uncle and friend before I knew of the show. Loved it.
Went from zero to "literally shitting my pants" in an instant.
(1:05) *_Alliance vs. Reavers_** ~* Something that many may miss, or do not understand, is that the Reavers had *ZERO* chance at victory in this battle...
- a.) The Reavers rely upon surprise, numbers, and savagery in their attacks. Likewise, the Reavers' ships are a mixed collection of captured commercial &/or colony vessels, armed with scavenged &/or jury-rigged weapons.
- b.) The Alliance fleet may have been hastily assembled without much preparation-time, since The Operative was rushing to intercept the Serenity crew; but they were *STILL* a fleet of naval vessels, with accordingly military-grade firepower.
- c.) Only the Reavers' element of surprise and weight of numbers allowed them to (initially) overrun the Alliance blockade and land on the planet; but as shown in the end, after River Tam slaughters the ground-attacking Reavers, there is no second wave of "Reaver reinforcements" afterwards, only Alliance forces.
Even when seeing this in the theaters, I knew that the Reavers would ultimately lose to the Alliance forces. But since Mal's purpose for the Reavers was _'Distraction'_ rather than _'Victory,'_ I would call that an overall success on Mal's strategic planning (despite the tragic loss of Wash).
Thanks for uploading this, *Movieclips.* :)
that scavenged emp cannon sure did the trick. this is just massive speculation from you, there are so many explanations for why no further reavers show up on the ground. narratively speaking, it makes sense that the fleets fought each other to a standstill and the alliance ground troops are just a few surviving pods converging on the operative's position.
One point in the reavers favor, they don't care about their own safety. They will kill themselves to get a chance at fresh meat
@pendrake40 -- I agree with you that in the current condition, where the Reavers are converging with a small hunting party on the core worlds, the Reavers cannot succeed in battle against the Alliance. However, the Alliance clearly sees the Reavers as a very serious threat in the outer regions like Miranda. Otherwise, they would have sent in the fleet to clean it up (now that the War with the Independents is over). It's only in this match-up where the Alliance is in a clearly victorious or likely-to-be-victorious position.
And dead Reavers are only extra bonus.
I'd say part of Mal's plan would be for the Reavers to ultimately lose the battle, because if the Reavers won, then the Serenity crew would most certainly die as well. Also, even if the Alliance killed them, then it would be a far more merciful death than the Reavers would provide. Mal wanted the Reavers to allow Serenity to run the blockade and lose, but distract the Alliance long enough to send the message out.
Purely cathartic to see the Alliance actually face a formidable foe. We all know how well the civil war in the TV show went. (More of a slaughter than a war.)
I hate to be the lead Alliance ship at that moment. "I was told it was one little unarmed transport we were after! Not a bloody zombie fleet!!!"
Props to the camera man who went to space and recorded this scene.
It's a testament to the power of Alliance ships that despite having a lower tonnage and fewer ships then the Reaver fleet, that they still managed to win the battle. And have enough spare troops to send to the surface to aid the Operative.
It helps that Alliance ships were better armed. Reaver ships probably didn't have much in the way of weaponry, which is why you see a lot of their ships just resort to ramming.
@@Dekline25 or other weird stuff like that lasso ship
Unlike the troopers on Star Wars, these guys can actually hit their targets
I can't imagine the Reavers really knew how to fight.
I've seem people say it didn't make sense the Alliance won.. just cos the Reaver ships were bigger... but they were just poorly maintained civilian ships with weapons bolted on run by chaotic crews.. compared to dedicated military ships with military crews... of course the Alliance won. Psycho killers seem scary.. until they're up against trained professions with all the toys.
Love the bit where the reaver ship smashed into the alliance cruiser, aint a space battle until "Ramming speed!."
[Alien captor speaking of Riker turning the Enterprise in their direction and accelerating] ".....He wouldnt!"
[Captive Worf, calmly] "Yes. HE would."
I'd like to see a frame by frame breakdown of all the ships in this battle. There are some cool designs here.
Spacedock I believe has done such a thing.
Joss Whedon is a genius
I like The Alliance's Frigates.
I think Joss Whedon has long since lost that edge. I love this movie but his latest works are from genius level.
I really wish this battle was longer
This one of my favorite scenes of all cinema history. The effects, the music, the writing. It's so good.
I KNOW
I love this scene but…
Also chokes me up knowing what happens to Wash next :(
He was the best gorram leaf on the wind, ever.
All the more reason to find the crappy planet that has Wash's larger-than-life statue and toast his memory ( with something better than mudder's milk ) 🍃
SPOLIERS! 🤭 Just kidding , good rewatching damm Onion ninjas
I live how the music changes and dramatically changes tune when the Reavers appear through the storm and seeing the horde of them which instills panic in the dude because of how big a threat of this sudden appearence.
One of the best ‘Space Cowboy’ fight scenes ever!😎
I still say that THIS is what the Han Solo movie *should've* been. Still one of the best action sequences I've seen in a sci-fi movie in a while.
I saw this movie before I ever heard of Firefly. Imagine my surprise when I was introduced to that incredible show!
1:24 That look on his face is priceless LMAO!
This show/movie was ahead of it's time.
The Reavers must not be completely mad. They must've kept some level of rational thinking and intelligence, because they have space ships. And those ships are in good working order and some seem to have been modified to make them deadlier.
theyre running thier ships without reactor containment. and most of their mods are just to make the ships faster so they can ram harder into the enemy.
In a way they resemble the orcs in warhammer 40k

WAAAGH!!
DAKADAKADAKA!!!!!
Love the bloopers of this scene.
Nathan Fillion, "GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!"
LOL....
You wanna fly? !@#%ing fly! I'll be in my bunk!
About time the Alliance clean up after themself.
You have to admire the simplicity of Mal's plan. He basically punched a bear and ran away so it would follow him to a bigger and tastier target.
My only issue with this scene is Mal riding the gun pod on the hull of the ship during a firefly jump drive burst..... Like, okay, inside the ship its magic artificial gravity inertial damper plating or whatever scifi woowoo. But outside?! Sitting sideways to the acceleration?! Thats at least going to be one helluva punch.
However, I think I might have to steal that glorious synopsis of the scene from you XD
I liken it to something like playing skyrim and running into a bandit/forsworn camp with a dragon following
Can see how shocked he was looking from his eyes when the entire bad ass fleet locked on head to head with his fleet.
I love how it sells the Reavers as a serious threat. The operative was there with the entire fleet to stop one ship and as soon as the Reavers showed up that objective flew right out the window. You can hear the desperation and fear that even a hardened military commander feels in his voice.
This is by far, among all space battles I've seen, my favourite. The scene is very short and shows pretty much nothing, but the situation presented makes not just the whle film worth watching but an entire faction lore worth existing.
I think the most satisfying part is seeing the smug, self righteous look get wiped off his face.
Better space battle that the last three Star Wars Movies.
Truly, the chaos of a real space battle.
"They will see that coming Mal....."
"Oh, they won't see THIS coming...."
0:26 the crab ship was definitely a customized reaver product that was haphazardly welded together out of random scrap metal and ship parts
1:22 one of the most epic moments in the history of sci-fi.
I love How mal keeps outsmarting the operative the operative always thinks he has the upper hand but Mal always 10 moves ahead
Shame we never got more of this universe. The tech is very grounded, essentially the only major advancement in Firefly is the discovery of a way to control gravity, which I think we'll figure out someday. No FTL, no photon torpedoes, no antimatter engines. I'd love to see more of this world
Them coming out of the storm was like somewthing from Warhammer. Such a good shot
This movie is amazing and this battle was perfect.
The shot at 2:48 is incredible.
"We should have done this as men, not with fire"
I like that one
This movie was a terrific send off to a series that met an unjustified premature demise.
The Agent thinks Serenity is making a suicide run, tells his people to lock on their guns... Then the Reavers pop out of nowhere like the Gates of Hell have been torn open. "Target the Reavers. Why is nobody firing?!" Enough said. Such a great series...
When I first saw this movie, I didn't know that this movie was a movie version of the TV series, so I thought it was quite unfriendly. I watched the TV series later and felt that the TV series and the movie together were a masterpiece series as a whole.
I like the idea that in the future there'll be just as many spaceship manufacturers and models of spaceships as there are automobile companies today.
The storytelling in this series and movie was amazing. It all shows in this scene.
I'm a leaf on the wind... Still hurts after all these years T-T

Anyone else notice that the Reaver ship that comes out of the cloud at Serenity's 8 o'clock at 1:22 is the ship from the Firefly pilot?
This is STILL one of my favorite space battles.
Way better than any battle in Disney Star wars
While I'd say Rogue One's battle was good, it wasnt *this*.
This is my favorite scene of the entire movie. The whole movie was great.

@@ravenhull that sounds lovely!
Just appreciating that the Reavers are the one thing in the Galaxy that can even scare the Operative.
An almost unserviceable Space U-Haul vs the two most powerful armadas in existence. And the Space U-Haul won!
I like to think of Serenity(/the Firefly class) as a well engineered classic pickup. Sturdy, and if you know how - can run out-perform most new models that *look* fancy but aren't that special under the hood. And as the years go by, it gets more and more difficult/expensive to maintain (a veritable Ship of Theseus)... But they CAN be maintained because the parts are nearly all strictly mechanical. And if you can keep it (mostly) in working order, it will be a solid workhorse for a variety of tasks.
Other vehicles may be bigger, some may beat it out on individual tasks - because they are designed to do that ONE thing... but for most purposes it will do any task you need it to do, and do them perfectly well, and with character.
1:23 That moment when you think you've got everything handled, and all of a sudden you find out that a LOT of crap just got dropped on your head.
Rian Johnson take notes. This is how a space battle should look!
A space battle doesn't have to look one precise way. The important thing is that, whatever style you choose, you do it competently. I personally think Johnson succeeded, but even everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Mal managed to get a two for one special. Got the diversion needed to get by and force the Alliance to remove the largest threat to travel in the outer reaches.
You know the reavers were just as surprised as he was
"Somebody fire!" I laughed every time at that.
Can we acknowledge the fact that Serenity, a tiny unarmed transport, successfully defeated two fleets from the two deadliest factions in the Galaxy at the same time.

Being mad doesn't necessarily mean stupid. Something in their brains must have been changed by the Miranda virus in the tenth of one percent but they must still be able to function logically on some level and be able to work together. This is why the Alliance`s "ignore them and they will die out" approach to the Reaver problem was doomed to failure as the Reavers had some sort of long-term strategy to increase their numbers.
I suspect there was a lot more to the Reaver concept in the show that we never got to see and what we were told in the first couple of episodes was of the "what everybody knows/ urban myth" variety and wrong.
We only know about them what the characters know. Obviously, if they were pure rage and madness, they would just killed all each other on Miranda.
"No...no--"
"Yes!"
"NO!"
"YES!" 😎
This was one of the coolest scenes ever
Even the Operative, the movie's main antagonist, is terrified of the Reavers because of they do to people they capture.
A Reaver he could handle. Possibly even a hand full. But a ships worth? A Reaver fleet? Even with an Alliance armada, fully armed, loaded, and aimed in its direction, no one wants to be surprised by the arrival of the Zombie Fleet......
It might be a bit of an afterthought, but the fact that armed reinforcements show up to confront River at the end means that the alliance ultimately won this battle. The Reavers clearly had them put through the ringer up in space, but in the end they still prevailed. Shows that even when facing a mighty opponent, the Alliance is no slouch.
Well that, and the Reavers aren’t well equipped, have no tactics, and care more about killing than they do their own lives.
I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar. Han Solo, your move - Hoban Washburne.
Don't get me wrong. Wash is an amazing pilot, but Han has the Solo luck on his side ;)
“It’s ok, I’m a leaf on the wind” 🤣
I wish they'd done more with that ship in Ready Player One.
If this scenario was in Star Trek, Voyager would take the place of Serenity, be chased by Borg and try to get past a Dominion blockade
Imagine Weyoun said "Somebody FIRE!" :D
THAT would be something.
I'm sure the voyager script writers would find a way to ruin it 😊
Nah....Janeway would just make a deal with the Borg to combat “the more dangerous enemy”
And it’d be just as awesome
