I really like your Mal, Wash, and River choices! Anton Yelchin could fit River's blend of adorable and powerful, and I think Kristen Bell could pull off Wash's seeming insouciance and humor very well.

Thank you for commenting! River was actually the first one I cast, I really agree that he would be able to pull off both sides of River. I felt really proud when I came up with Kristen Bell! I was a bit lost when it came to Wash but it finally clicked when I thought of her. :)

YAAY Firefly genderswap! :D

The choices are awesome! ♥ Wash, Inara, River... I've never actually seen Anton Yelchin act, and he still seems so River-y to me. :D

And of course I approve of everything with Michelle Rodriguez in it! xD

I love seeing other people's genderswap, so when it was a recast challenge I immediately knew what I wanted to do! :D

Thank you! ♥ I was a bit nervous for posting this, so I'm really glad you liked it. And he does have that sort of innocent quality, doesn't he? I've only seen him in the Star Trek reboot movie but I do think he could pull her off.

Haha, she's awesome!

I'm very, very happy you feel that way! I love it when you look at someones genderswap and you just find yourself nodding along to every choice. :)

Bravo! I love gender-swaps, especially for firefly since I think it would be an interesting dynamic if Mal was a woman and Zoe, a man, and he would be calling her sir or ma'am all the time XD

Thank you! I've always loved genderswaps too, since I'm pretty consistently drawn to female characters, and I love to imagine how it would've been if the dynamics have been reversed. :)
