“Man, I miss Firefly. To. This. Day. WTF were they thinking that that series wouldn’t have an audience?!?!?!”

FOX screwed the pooch bigly with Firefly.
They didn’t give it time to find it’s audience. FOX was hard after the 18-25 demographic and didn’t care about anything else.
It didn’t help that they aired the shows out of sequence, further disrupting the writers ability to tell a story.

Give me fifteen minutes alone with whoever made the decision to cancel the series. I’ll bring my ballpeen hammer.

Endorsing Barack Obama in the 2012 United States presidential election,[312] Whedon satirically equated Mitt Romney’s future as president with a zombie apocalypse, quipping, “Romney is ready to make the deep rollbacks in health care, education, social services and reproductive rights that will guarantee poverty, unemployment, overpopulation, disease, rioting—all crucial elements in creating a nightmare zombie wasteland”.[313][314]

In 2015, Whedon signed a petition as part of a political campaign calling for Elizabeth Warren to run for President of the United States.[315][316]

In January 2017, after Nicole Kidman spoke in support both of Donald Trump’s presidency and of women’s issues, Whedon tweeted a photograph of plastic puppet Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward alongside an image of Kidman, an action some interpreted as mocking and objectifying Kidman’s physical appearance.[317] That same month, Whedon also received criticism for reportedly comparing Ivanka Trump to a dog.[318] Referring to Trump’s husband Jared Kushner and Trump, he tweeted: “He’s a Voldemort in training, & unlike the Pekingese he married under, can play the long game.”[317][319] Whedon stated that he had been referring to Donald Trump.[320]

Let’s just take the ball peen hammer and...
