WTF, come on, Whedon wouldn't do that in Star Wars of all places.
While I enjoyed the show, it's light years behind Firefly in writing and characterization, no question.
I loved Firefly but the stuff about what Whedon would've done made me glad it got cancelled: https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-firefly-episode-were-really-glad-joss-whedon-didnt-5959794
I'm also still mad about Black Widow in Age of Ultron:
Being rendered infertile made her feel unnatural, made her feel cut off from the natural world.
I don't have any faith in him being able to write strong women characters so yeah I'd rather it be bland than problematic if that's the choice I've got.
I'd much rather see some new talent being given a chance though as a pathway to bigger things.
