I think the second best part of Serenity is how balletic and yet strategic River's fighting is.
The best part is Zoe in that dress. Clearly.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wouldn't be comfortable omitting Simon's back, nor the meatiness of Mal's chest.
It's the completist in me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
There may have been some squirming at the sight of Mal in hips and bedhead, yes.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
A friend asked me if Jayne ever was shirtless. I told here I didn't think so, but I have no complaints about the very nice skin we did see.
Mmmmmmmm.

Mal was shirtless in the movie? I'd forgotten. Oh well, guess I'll have to watcha few times this weekend to refresh my spotty memory...

I think Mal's hips and bedhead is my third favorite thing. And then Simon's back.
I still think he has a Back Double, yoga be damned.
And now, we've named all of the things I really liked about the movie. Oh, and you can put free below Simon's back.
The list of the things I disliked? Irksomely long.

Don't forget Mal's scars. The scars with the hips and the chest and the bedhead.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

You saw it with me! We mimed our pain!

You are right - the scars move him to third. Though Simon was probably scarred by that time. Doesn't count if we can't see.
