I've seen Serenity once but I'm gonna see it at least once more very soon. I think my record was Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which I saw in the theater 7 times.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I am one with JohnSweden.
Browncoats on the whole, far less craxy. At least the hundreds I have met.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I've heard secondhand reports of some excesses, but until I see Browncoat behavior rivaling that of the fans that went after Joss following Tara's death, I don't think they can hold a candle to some of the Buffy craziness.

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
Huh. Just wait until Serenity VII, The Undiscovered Country, when Jayne decides to bottom out for Dr. Tam, and right before he drops trou, BOOM, shot by crazed Kaylee.
THEN we'll see who goes Kitten.
That would be me.

You know, all in all? Difficult comparison to make.
Can't really compare what would have happened had Buffy been canceled after a handful of episodes aired. It likely wouldn't have made it to DVD at that point, so long ago. Internet usage wasn't nearly what it is, now, so a frenzied net uprising would have been unlikely.
If Firefly made it to season six, would Firefly fans have gine mental if Zoe was shot and killed in Wash's arms? Yep.
If Simon came out and had the tender Bareback Mountain love with some rancher on some moon, and then got shot in the back, and Simon went all dark simon...
You get the picture.
Are Browncoats more nuts than Bronzers? I dunno. We had the whole PBP issue and Pruittgate and Meteor, so there was that, along with Big Boy and kirbyclause before my time. Browncoats seem to identify as Browncoats wherever they call home, the Serenity board or the OB or here. Perhaps I should start calling the craxy Browncoats, "Reavers" to avoid confusion.
Completely unrelated, I never identified as a Browncoat. But it makes me smile to think a few Bronzer/Buffistas started the campaign that's credited so heavily.

Wow. That's what a post looks like when the Ambien starts kicking in. I should go to bed before more stream-of-consciousness posting causes me to tell you all WHAT I REALLY THINK OF YOU.

The post was pretty lucid, Allyson. Or perhaps permasleepdep has me think it so.
I don't think the Browncoats as a whole are crazier than any other fandom, but from my purely selfish fannish POV, I find the crazy ones slightly more annoying, because they are harder for me to avoid in the wilds of the Internet, being focused as they are on the 'verse as a whole. The crazy Buffy fans tended to focus more on specific characters or relationships, so it was easy for me to avoid them just by avoiding anything dedicated to said characters or relationships.

When we kill people it makes the policemen flustered and stern.
Allyson is me, only a whole lot better with the words. And the whole being Allyson thing, I can't compare to that.

The OB is calm compared to the craxy reavers at the Universal board. The OBers have been there for three years and Allyson I count you as one of us whether you like it or not.
People will be excessive, there is nothing we can do about that.
We have a movie and I count that as a win.
We win.
