(Mal and Jayne do not profit from) Serenity
There is a lot to be said about the movie, but as I've always made it clear that this is my Slash Journal, I shall keep all comments relevant.
Oh yeah, but. It's not really my slash journal -- I have written one het fic in the past and my weird, vague interest in River/Jayne has actually solidified. I sat myself through about 5 fairly long "Rayne" (ugh, I hate those combo-names) fics. That makes this a fandom journal, so I'll just... keep things fannish.
- I loved the movie.
- The Mal/Jayne dynamic was deteriorated almost to the point where there was nothing of shipping use within the film. When I tell you that the contrived, in-your-face MALANDINARAWANTEACHOTHER subplot was only a small drop in the bucket, you will appreciate --
- River did not get any cooler to me. But since she's already pretty cool, I am still a happy fan. There was a lot of useful fic material for her, at least.
For some reason they cut the scene where Mal and Jayne fuck each other on the bridge. Also, the one where they fuck in the bathroom and the showers and on Persephone and on the floor in front of everyone. Even the one where they steal a chaste kiss in the enterance to Jayne's bunk.
I don't understand. How did this happen?
PS - If nothing else, the mere coming of the film brought forth a small but delicious wave of Mal/Jayne fics. I shall be posting a list I have been making of every fic of the pairing ever with some reviews for the better ones in a bit. Also, a couple excellent River/Jayne fics. Only a couple though, because the land of het is a truly horrible, cliche-wraught place. BE GLAD I AM YOUR MIDDLE MAN.
