Removed, because... what? I suppose the intention was \\\"if \\\'\\\'Firefly\\\'\\\' is a Space Western, Reavers are the Redskins\\\", but it doesn\\\'t really go on this page, as they aren\\\'t based on Native Americans, they\\\'re a replacement for them.

* The Reavers of the \\\'\\\'{{Firefly}}\\\'\\\' franchise are arguably a much more monstrous [[SpaceWestern sci-fi]] stand-in for Indians in that setting. Either that, or they are meant to represent the AlwaysChaoticEvil RedShirtArmy portrayal of Indians seen in many 1920s-1930s\\\' western movies. Usualy, the sole purpose of Indians in those flicks was to act as marauding raiders, the classic set-up being an ambush of an encircled wagon train. And [[YouShouldKnowThisAlready since you probably know]] what Reavers do for a living... SoYeah... Other than that, they\\\'re more like SpacePirates than Indians.
