Buffy was always a show in the same general tonal strike-zone as the Karate Kid movies anyway, so I think it makes a lot of sense. And I know it'll upset people, but in five years, we'll be as far from Buffy S1E1 as we were from Karate Kid 1 when Cobra Kai started. So it's not like we have a got a bunch of aging nostalgia-havers.Further, younger people are STILL TO THIS DAY newly watching the original Buffy and Angel! People in their 20s and 30s who were small kids or not even born in 1997 when Buffy started are still watching it.So we really do kind of have the same sort of situation - you bring back as much of the older cast as you can (it doesn't really matter if the characters died, this is Buffy, she herself has outright died what, at least twice, maybe more times?), and you have them training a new younger cast. This seems to be somewhat close to what they were planning to do but I think you want more of a Cobra Kai-ish dual strand approach.</blockquote>
