Reavers are a fictional group of humans in the television series ''Firefly'' and film ''Serenity'' who live on the fringes of civilized space and have become animalistic. Within most of the timeline of the series and movie, the existence of Reavers is officially denied by the Alliance, the ruling government of humanity, but they are a harsh reality around the outer planets. The Reavers are mentioned several times during the course of the television show. A Reaver ship is seen in the pilot episode, and the episode "Bushwacked" shows someone becoming a Reaver. The movie ''Serenity'' featured Reavers and revealed their origin. ==Concept== Whedon has said of Reavers, "Every story needs a monster. In the stories of the old west it was the Apaches". He explained how he removed the racial aspect of the Apache metaphor by using the Reavers. "I used that example by saying that anyone who goes out into space and goes mad can become a monster." The purpose Reavers serve in the show has been compared to the Hollywood "Injuns" of the 1950s in western movies by outside sources.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 author=Curry, Agnes B. )〕 Comic book artist Bernie Wrightson, co-creator of ''Swamp Thing'', contributed Reaver concept designs for the film ''Serenity''.〔 〕 The "mythology" of the Reavers in ''Firefly'' and ''Serenity'' has been said to be different. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reaver (Firefly)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
