Serenity: Difference between revisions

* [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]]: In the [[Big Damn Movie]], the crew is left with no ground to go to.

* [[Almost-Dead Guy]]: {{spoiler|Mr. Universe}} survives long enough to leave a message. Also, {{spoiler|Shepherd Book}}, who lives long enough to give an inspiring speech.

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Jayne Cobb, naturally. Most of the crew qualifies for this as well.

* [[Anyone Can Die]]: {{spoiler|Book and Wash.}}

'''River:''' EVERYBODY'S!!!!!! }}

* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: Mal suffers a vicious case of it. It's mostly under control at the start of the film, then has a flare-up about half-way after it's been irritated by exposure to {{spoiler|the truth about Miranda}}.

* [[Cold Open]]: The movie opens with a narration that turns out to be a school lesson that turns out to be a hallucination; then River is rescued, which turns out to be security footage being played back, ''then'' we fade into the title sequence and ''Serenity''.

* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: The Alliance wears primarily blue and grey to match all their shiny tech. The Browncoats wear, um, brown, red, yellow, and orange, which goes with the Wild West setting. This symbolizes the Alliance's cold modernism versus the Browncoats' heart. The Reavers wear... red. [[Gorn|Lots and lots of red]]. And what isn't red, is, well... [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|skin tone]].

'''Mal:''' I can be very graceful when I need to. }}

* [[Pass the Popcorn]]: when Inara calls Mal.

* [[Playing with Syringes]]: River at the academy.

* [[Pow Zap Wham Cam]]: Used when River "scans" the occupants of the trader outpost in [[The Movie]].
