Did we fail?
« on: September 29, 2008, 06:25:23 PM »
We got one movie, but haven't heard word of a second.  Did we fail?

Let me know what you think.  I, of course, responded.  :)

I know it's sorta a downer, but I think we did fail.  The goal was to get Firefly back.  It never happened and I'm fairly certain it's never going to happen.  I don't think we'll even get a second movie.  We might get some comics but that's all.

I'm not saying it's our fault or that browncoats didn't try hard enough.  I think we're just living in a world that doesn't appreciate Firefly/Serenity.  The market has spoken and we lost.

I'm ok with just enjoying the hours of entertainment we got out of it and looking forward to Joss's next project.

This is what I said, in response to ArtCat saying we're active (ABC) and in response to the OP:

"Very true, ArtCat. My organization is growing every month!

We, Austin Browncoats, turned our fan power into a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization, and will continue to do good works with or without a second big damn movie. So believe me, I do not think we've failed. We took our love for the 'verse that Joss created and have done amazing things for charity. Sometimes the end result isn't what you predicted, or even wanted. And sometimes it's even better. What we're doing now is better than a second movie. We're making the world a better place - one shindig at a time. And that makes us mighty."


And I believe that.  I think our end product is better than another movie that a studio doesn't seem to care to make.  We took our fandom and turned in into a group of folks doing something to try and make the world a better place.  We could've just let it die, but we don't.  We continue to grow and we're producing our own content.  Between The Lines Studios is going to produce an audio drama of Firefly.  Three groups are doing video dramas, as well.  If they won't give us the content, we'll make it ourselves.  :)

I don't feel that we failed. We've done everything BUT fail.

LIke Beth said, we've made something better then a sequel, We made a force that cannot be stopped.
