Buffy Reboot Cancelled

"If"? The thing i literally explicitly challenged you on?

Yes, of which I answered assuming that was the case.

And if your point was that different groups are saying the two different things, then your point has none, and whats more you went out of your way to use "everyone".

I reiterated my point for clarity in the last post. My apologies the use of the word everyone caused such a confusion for you.

That is not dead which can eternal lie.

Buffy is the once and future queen. She will return when the time is right. Or maybe that's Xena. IDK.

As if Buffy isn’t a reincarnation of Xena.

I would watch a Buffy - Xena crossover.

I think at some point it become 2 late for reboots when you involve old cast (hard to explain vampires that aged)

Headcannon accepted.

Can they leave beloved franchises alone? While i was always more fan of Angel than Buffy, it was still one of the shows i grew up and loved.

I'm glad they cancelled it. We don't need He Man Revelations with titular character being barley present on screen. Full blown reboot with complete new cast, new actress playing Buffy would be better. That or plain sequel with now older Buffy and Scooby gang tackling new themes. Original Buffy was about growing up, new one could be about growing old.

It sounds like, from Gellar interviews, that this is the way the pilot and the new show was evolving. Of course, to double down on this theme, the way to do it would be for her own daughter to suddenly inherit Slayer powers, rather than her teaming up with some new kid back in Sunnydale.

And she probably shouldn't be living halfway across the country, unless she's in Cleveland, which we also know has a major hellmouth.

I’m the complete opposite (other than the love for the original): if we have to go back to the well, I’d much rather have a continuing story rather than a reboot. It’s been done, I don’t want to see it all over again with new actors.

Tell me the story of a new Slayer. If Buffy is there in a new role as a mentor, even better. But I’ve seen Buffy’s high school years already.

I absolutely am tired of reheated nostalgia. But sometimes it can work. And this at least sounded promising, listening to SMG talk about it. I was willing to give it a chance.
