I've seen plenty of trailers/promos, especially over the past year on YouTube, that completely misrepresent what a film is like or about. I don't think that reflects on the writer.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The writer of the film, or the writer of the promo?

I wouldn't worry too much about it, I think we'll all be awesome. New people may come in, dive headfirst into the guac, and then we'll gently and firmly 'splain how not to trip on the rug on the way to the bowl.

The film.

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
Frank, the best way I can describe it is that there are threads of Tim's work all through it. I think that Melanie Linski's storyline has this sort of Kaylee-innocence/Wonderfalls adorableness about it.
There's a non-linear Out of Gas element to the series, as well.
And then there are the sort of drama desperate redemption threads running through all of them, with some of the darkness of Angel-smothering-Wesley-with-a-pillow betrayals and an army of Virgil Websters manipulating the teams.
So it seems like this is a culmination of Minearesque elements.
I think that's why Kristen fits so well, other than the raw talent, she has a historical understanding of the years of work that are going into it.

In this instance, I'm led to understand they're one and the same.

Considering the oft-repeated criticism of the Firefly promos, I don't think it's necessarily obvious to everyone that Tim and Kristen have anything to do with the promos.

I agree it's not obvious, and that I even may have been the first person to mention that the show's writers were responsible for the promos, but this post makes it my third time today.

It may be obvious now, but I don't think it was when people first started commenting on the promos.
