The Browncoats Rise Again

The Original, One and Only, Hippy of Death writes "There's an interesting read posted on The Weekly Standard website talking about Joss Whedon and the unusual marketing campaign he is waging for the upcoming Serenity/Firefly movie." From the article: "It was ignored and abandoned, and the story should end there--but it doesn't. Because the people who made the show and the people who saw the show--which is, roughly, the same number of people--fell in love with it a little bit. Too much to let it go. . . . In Hollywood, people like that are called unrealistic, quixotic, obsessive. In my world, they're called Browncoats."

Joss Whedon by pete-classic · 2005-06-25 02:37 · Score: 0, Troll

I've never seen any of his stuff. I've seen previews and such.

From the outside looking in, it seems like his career is based on setting up situation where a hot young chick in a tight outfit kicks people (and things that aren't exactly people) a lot.

I'm being sincere, here. Are Joss Whedon fans just a bunch of guys with young-hot-chicks-who-kick-a-lot fetishes, or is there some deeper thread I'm missing?

Don't get me wrong, I dig young hot chicks in tight pants. Nothing wrong with that. I'm just trying to figure out what gives him the tight-panted-girl-kicking-a-lot midas touch.
