New Firefly...but a Reboot. Say it Ain't So.

20 years have passed. Plenty of time for Mal to move on and sell the ship, itcwas taken etc.
New crew in the serenity on new adventures could work.

I do like the comics and would like to check out the novels.
I agree on the perplexing lack of Asian characters, but with Inara I always got the impression that companion was a respected profession in the Alliance, but the further away you got from the core worlds and out into the boonies, the more likely you'd be to run into more parochial attitudes like Mal's.
How can you say such a cruel mean thing about that gorgeous ship?
You should read the books, I like them
I've read two or three and liked them enough to keep buying them as they come out.
Hell of a way to flirt, though.
I'm not especially enthused about a reboot, but I'd prefer it to a continuation, at this point.
But I don't really see much point in either.

TV and the world have moved on and some of the things that made Firefly beloved would not work so well now. Also the chemistry of the cast isn't something anyone can just recreate. Firefly worked so well, perhaps, because it ended too soon. We didn't get some awkward sophomore season that sent it into oblivion, nor did we get some Emmy award winning 3rd season. We got Serenity. The rest is just speculation.
The Expanse took Firefly's place in a lot of ways. I don't doubt Disney will try to reboot it at some point. It will make some money, even if it sucks. but they don't need to right now. They can sit on that backlog of franchises they own and dole them out when their current offerings go stale.

Looking back it is surprising that River and Simon weren't Chinese, that seems like it would've been a natural fit. Tam being a Chinese surname was this the original intent? It's been too long for me to remember what the details were in the show regarding them.
Would this be a D+ show or would it be a Hulu show? I could see the latter. Has D+ produced any original content aimed at an older market outside of Star Wars and Marvel? I'm not aware of anything at least in the terms of fiction shows. With such cash cows I'm not sure if they'd be interested in making something in that same realm.

I believe that was was the original plan, but I don't have a source handy for that. Sometimes the right actor walks in the door and your plans change. I think we can all agree Summer Glau was the right choice, and thus her brother needs to look like her.
Would have worked just as well if one or both were adopted.
Sean Maher does not look like Glau
I'm calling BS on this.a
That's just adding unnecessary story complications. How does a cross racial adoption change the relationship with the parents, are you going to mention they are adopted or just hope the audience figures it out?
They have similar coloring and are the same race, that's as good as Hollywood siblings are going to get.
Audiences likes to fill in blanks. The ones who are befuddled by two dissimilar looking people probably wouldn't have been into that show, anyway.
There you go -- The Adventures of Jayne Cobb. The Alliance is fair and balanced. Pax is just like the flu. Reavers are fake news and the real threat is the Jewish laser cannon that's floating around in outer space. River's psychic abilities are a blasphemy against God. The Blue Gloves are the strongest and most dedicated Christians in the 'verse.
This is the hardest hurdle for me. Why do a reboot at this point? Why not create a new space western?
So you can have guest appearances, a shared depth of worldbuilding, name recognition and a nostalgic selling point with a built in demographic ?
You have a post apocalypse, post civil war space western where people speak and dress like 19th century cowboys and are fluent in bad mandarin, but adopting a child of a different race is what you think breaks the audience?
