“I designed the show to create that strong reaction. I designed Buffy to be an icon, to be an emotional experience, to be loved in a way that other shows can’t be loved. Because it’s about adolescence, which is the most important thing people go through in their development, becoming an adult. And it mythologizes it in such a way, such a romantic way-it basically says, ‘Everybody who made it through adolescence is a hero.”
- Joss Whedon.
Firefly, smashing tropes.
#this is right up there with that one time #when mal left the ship and he was like listen…if i’m not back by a certain time… #and you expect him to say go on without me #but he’s like you get the fuck down here and save my ass do you understand
Firefly forever.

#god i loved this scene SO MUCH #because she’s scared. she’s scared and everything’s going wrong and she just wants to huddle into a corner and do nothing at all #she’s just had to face her worst fear‚ something she can’t control‚ can’t manipulate‚ can’t fight #everything is going horribly wrong and honestly if she hadn’t answered i doubt anyone would have specifically noticed #but she gets up anyway. she pulls herself together and she radios in and she goes to stop clint. #some guy who totally missed the point complained in a review that it was unfeminist to have had her be scared and i say fuck that #do you have any idea how wonderful it was to see a heroine who freaks out and then pushes past it‚ sir #who is ALLOWED by the narrative to freak out‚ who is not shamed for her fear‚ who can be afraid without it defining her #because it was pretty fucking wonderful to me
so glad someone pointed this out
In addition to the above, they needed someone competent and uber awesome to run from the Hulk in order to show how pants-shittingly scary he was, and since Barton was a bad guy still…
This right here. Joss Whedon writes women who are real, who have weaknesses and hopes and fears and flaws but at the end of the day they push past all that and they’re badass anyway (see: Buffy, Willow, and Faith in BTVS). Courage isn’t not being scared, it’s being scared and doing what you know is right anyway because it’s right. Everything is a clusterfuck in this moment and she doesn’t have to answer, she can run away and hide, she has the skills to disappear but she made a decision to be one of the good guys, and even if she hid until it was mostly safe then slipped back to the control room, no one would have noticed, she could have said she was busy doing something else, she’s a master at lying. She didn’t. She is literally shaking with fear because she was almost killed by a huge impossibly strong mutated rage monster that could break her in half but she hears that she’s needed and knows that she can take out Hawkeye and help get something else under control so she pulls herself together with a deep breath and goes where she’s needed and gets shit done. Natasha fucking Romanoff.
COURAGE IS BEING SCARED AND THEN PUNCHING YOUR FEARS IN THE FUCKING FACE.
BLESS THIS POST.
Don’t forget that at this point she had already spoken to Loki, who had, in different words, essentially threatened to force Clint to rape her and then kill her, both violently.
Knowing this, knowing the control Loki has over Clint, she goes because the mission is more important than her fear and she KNOWS she can take Clint on and bring him back.

the difference between this show and allllll the others: Jayne’s reaction to the hat is not AWWWW MOM WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME WEAR THIS HAT but, instead, is THIS IS THE AWESOME HAT Y’ALL DON’T EVEN KNOW.

The best thing that ever happened was definitely during “The Message”. I think for some reason it wasn’t on the gag reel. It was possibly the best piece of acting I’ve ever seen, which is the three-sixty [360 degree camera rotation] that Tim [as director] did while everyone was listening to the farewell message from Tracey [played by Jonathon Woodward]. And Nathan is standing with Zoe, looking kind of stricken - this is his old friend - and the camera pans around to Kaylee - and Nathan’s sitting next to Kaylee, looking kind of stricken in another way. And he managed to duck under the camera and get to every single member of the cast and just look really sad [laughs]. And some of them just could not keep it together and some of them did. But I’ve got to tell you - it’s hard to describe. And then when it finally panned down to the body in the coffin, Nathan was lying in [Woodward’s] arms, looking stricken. It was unbelievable - not only hilarious, but technically proficient. He really put some thought into it. But that’s Nathan.
