Like I said, \\\"when we find out just how deep the corruption and particularly the incompetence runs in the Alliance...\\\".

I don\\\'t care about Mal in this case. My issue is with the Alliance portrayal. And the people Mal killed or got killed for the most part were soldiers participating in a coverup of millions of deaths. The people the Alliance killed were for the most part civilians.

And there is plenty of room for unambiguously evil in the film. The Reavers pretty much embody that. Maybe you\\\'re right that the Alliance isn\\\'t unambiguously evil, but they\\\'re still plenty evil for their role in the creation and continued existence of the Reavers.

Has the Alliance actually fulfilled any of their intentions to make the Verse a better place? From what I\\\'ve seen in the show, they don\\\'t actually stop slavers, they allow rampant nepotism, they hire psychopaths or incompetents as law enforcers, kidnap and torture innocent teenagers to create psychic supersoldiers, created the Reavers, and caused millions of deaths. From what I\\\'ve seen, this whole \\\"make a better world\\\" thing is a lie they tell themselves. I think there was one time where they actually did something nice, and that was in the pilot.
Oh, and they provided those vaccines that when they lost them, didn\\\'t bother sending replacements.
