Character Deaths That Felt Low cost To Followers

Wash survived the unique (albeit very quick) collection “Firefly,” solely to get needlessly (and graphically) killed off within the film. “Firefly” followers adored Wash. He was a nerdy pilot who performed with toy dinosaurs in his spare time. Who may dislike this absolute treasure of a human?

Moreover, he handled his spouse Zoë just like the queen she was, so folks could not assist however root for him. Wash was the antithesis of fellows who blabber on about girls spurning the “good man.” Wash is the great man, so after all, he would not have to say it — and he received the woman. But, none of that was sufficient to save lots of him from a pointless loss of life that did completely nothing to advance the plot.

Wash’s loss of life scene wasn’t solely needlessly graphic (did we actually have to see him impaled?), but it surely additionally got here solely out of nowhere. The second appeared close to the tip of the movie, serving because the collection’ conclusion, making its existence ineffective exterior of torturing followers. 

One idea for the beloved character’s loss of life was that Wash actor Alan Tudyk could not decide to extra sequels. The notion of extra sequels by no means amounted to something greater than whispers within the first place. So if that was the case, it was untimely at greatest. Much more tragically, followers discovered that Zoë was pregnant on the time of Wash’s loss of life, destroying any likelihood of him with the ability to sometime play dinosaur toys along with his little one.
