Thread 212083177

This, along with the fact that they've cast a 15 year old in the lead, seems to confirm they are aiming to attract a younger audience. Will likely be akin to Stranger Things in tone.

Will her death by written into the plot?

I am now interested

>>212083232
SMG wants all the characters back, even the dead ones. Possibly they will cast Alexa Swinton as either Dawn’s reincarnated form or her daughter.

>>212083177 (OP)
I don't really think of Buffy being "dark" but I guess the stakes were quite high with Buffy getting killed at the end of the first season, etc. The final episode of season 1 is actually one of my favourites in the whole series with how intense it is compared to the earlier episodes (Cordelia and Willow find the AV Club members slaughtered by vampires, Buffy drowns in a shallow pool of water, etc.) I guess this show just has to be its own thing since there's no way they can recreate the "magic" of the original show, which was even shot on actual film.

Buffy was never dark, how much lighter do they want it? iCarly?

>>212084445
oh joyce. sweet sweet joyce

every time you post this girl i think it's Pete from Mad Men as a young actor

Saw the girl in Skeleton Crew, she was good.

>>212083177 (OP)
Is this reboot why comet stopped airing buffy?

>>212084527
Hey he was on Angel! Maybe she’s playing his daughter

>>212084541
This faggot watches nu wars.

>>212084709
Just that and Andor so far. What of it?

>>212084709
Maybe he's just a pedophile and watched it for the children.

>>212084736
You're human garbage who doesn't deserve to live.
>>212084740
That too.

>>212083177 (OP)
is it just me or she kinda looks like Masha B?

Buffy was actually fairly dark for the first 3 seasons
Between the Master, the whole 'let's kill a child' with Spike, Wishverse, rape, the murder/suicide thing, etc

For what was basically 'high school but sometimes we fight spooky monsters' it was pretty fucked up for being marketed to 12/13 year old kids

>>212084807
Ok.

>>212083177 (OP)
will it be kino?

>>212084841
Why didn't anyone care when this was canon plot? Were the times so different or did SMG just look older than Buffy was meant to ber?

>>212085240
it was a different time

>>212084841
angel is /ourguy/

>>212085285
When your choice is 'I can't ever have a rape scene in my tv shows or movies again after what I had to do to poor Sarah Michelle Gellar, I... I just had to pretend, I didn't even touch her naked body b-b-but I cried a lot after that scene where Spike had to um... force himself on her even tho she almosted staked him and was in no danager... I am just a feminist I guess'

Then yes, you go with the non-faggot

>>212085240
>Why didn't anyone care when this was canon plot?
Because cucks like you didn't exist yet and no one cared what barren spinsters thought about anything

>>212084826
A little

>>212083177 (OP)
More quips because zoomers are uncomfortable with death.

>>212085353
i don't know what you're talking about because i stopped watching after season 3

One of the only buffy episodes I remember is when buffy and Riley won't stop fucking. And there's some symbiotic relationship with the house where it makes them want to fuck more. Looking forward to more plot like that.

I wonder if Xander's character will be more rapey and full on incel or will Joss still try to hold back on revealing how bad he really was in high school
Or is Joss not the writer anymore?

>>212085459
Spike's actor had a nervous breakdown, cried like a faggot and insisted no rape scenes are in any movie ot tv show he ever works on again
This is also the same 40 year old man who wrote a love song to Michelle Trachtenberg because he couldn't legally fuck her since she was 14

>>212084841
He moggs her

>>212085535
>he thinks nicholas brendan will ever act again

>>212085678
Xander, sweetie.
Not the retard who played him

Try to remember, actors =/= characters

>>212083177 (OP)
Is that Ellie from TLOU?

>>212083177 (OP)
>This, along with the fact that they've cast a 15 year old in the lead, seems to confirm they are aiming to attract a younger audience. Will likely be akin to Stranger Things in tone.

Hmm these Gen Z and Gen A's seem to like this 90's stuff.. Lets take classic 90's and make it cringe as shit with all the 'modern audience' garbage Gen Z and Gen A like.

( we need a asain, zander can be black, we will make one of the witches trans. Lets make the sister a fat cripple. )

I give it 2 seasons max, and if it is picked up by a streaming company it will be 2 to 3 years between seasons.

>>212086077
Xander isn't a black
He's White since they'll make into the same creepy incel as Joss did since he was based on Joss
It'll be something along the lines of angel is there, shows up, encourages Buffy to fuck the local negro in her school who is just 'the better angel but younger with more potential' and probably add in a tranny lesbian instead of just a normal dyke plot like the original, I'd wager it will have some actively 'liberal' gimmicks in the school like faggot club, negro power worship, etc since it's being aimed at US kids

woke sloppa

>>212088032
erm, anon, the original was the definition of woke slop
>we need a gay character
>I will stop writing if I don't get one

Welcome to the original definition of woke

retard

Angel bros, what's our crystal status? Charged up and glowing?

>>212083177 (OP)
Looks like she seen some shit.

>>212089171
Probably some jews mutilated cock

>>212083293
She's gay

>>212089158
I genuinely think he was a sex addict who did stuff so bad he hit a rock bottom and this is just his way of clensing that dirty feeling he has

>>212089350
So?
Rape is a thing

>>212088032
Sit down, kid.

>>212083177 (OP)
I'm a zoom zoom so I never grew up on Buffy. I tried to watch some episodes but couldn't get through the shit dialogue, teen drama, and shit effects, what was the appeal? Just the hot girls?

>>212089158
>James Marsters writes a song about Trachtenberg's feet and married a 18-year-old when he was 40
>stays sane
>David Boreanaz cheats on his wife a few times
>turns into a wizard
How?

>>212090042
It depends on what you mean
The appeal was girl power beating up monsters
Season 1 was major high school shit
Season 2 is a bit better but if you don't like it after season 2, then drop it imo

>>212089158
That's a skit, right? Actors were a mistake, Hollywood was a grave mistake. Call Iran, tell 'em to nuke California. It'll be okay, nobody will be mad. They have all the crystals in the world to protect them from the radiation.

>>212090042
I'd say you wouldn't get it, but the snarky zoomslop ubiquitous today metastasized from what Buffy popularized so you really should get it.

>>212089158
He's just scamming middle aged women out of a few bucks

>>212083177 (OP)
>Buffy revival will be “lighter,” more fun than original series

Am I remembering the show wrong, because it was filled with jokes. That was almost Xanders entire purpose.

>>212090662
>Am I remembering the show wrong, because it was filled with jokes. That was almost Xanders entire purpose.
You're right but the show was filled with dark allegories.

>>212090042
its been a long time, but I remember funny situation scifi comedy bullshit with the occasional fight scene. Not entirely unlike Supernatural if you ever watched that show.

>>212090883
>Supernatural
Faggot shit

>>212090918
perhaps its not for you anon

>>212090918
It was more or less the successor to Buffy's style of action fantasy horror, albeit with less comedy.

>>212091011
It wasnt. I remember when it came out i was a huge xfiles fan and tried to sell it by advertising the fact that it shared some of the same writers and producers. The whole thing just fell flat, for me. The whole supernatural grandiosity of the material didn't work with everyone looking and dressing like they're from some random American town.

I just want buffy ryona

>>212091301
well they were
it's set in small towns and backwater places

>>212090818
>You're right but the show was filled with dark allegories.
And that's too much for kids today?

what's gonna be of dawn though?

>>212091763
>posting her post wall

Reminder Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof were the only Buffyverse actors who didn't say Whedon was an asshole.

>>212091763
Here she is

>>212085535
>Spike's actor had a nervous breakdown
Because a family member had been raped and Joss wrote that scene to fuck with him because the executives wouldn't let them kill off spike

>>212093715
why does the webm have that name?

>>212089350
No she ain't

>>212093833
That's even fucking more pathetic
Imagine it
'So uh... you, gotta like, I mean you gotta uhh... just grab her okay? Can you grab her? Like it's not as bad as when you pretended to try to stab her or anything but just grab her ok?'
>um no no no no it's wrong I cannot touch a female

>>212094029
>Swinton is of paternal Scottish heritage and is distantly related to the actress Tilda Swinton. A resident of New Jersey, she is Jewish, as is her mother, and celebrated her bat mitzvah in Israel in 2023.[17]

>>212091364
>it's set in small towns and backwater places
Yeah but im saying that if God, the devil, angels and whatever other supernatural entities showed up they would have their sense of majestic grandiosity wherever they were. They wouldn't look like Gerry the mechanic in a plaid shirt. The scale they wanted to play with in this show couldn't be satisfactorily portrayed by the limited budget of the show.

Oh look, another nepo hire.

>>212091640
>And that's too much for kids today?
It has been for at least a decade.

>>212093833
What a faggot.

>>212094238
And he's the one still hanging out with the Buffy cast while Boreanaz is casting magic spells. >>212089158

>>212094180
Last time god showed up he was a rural roman carpenter that hung out with homeless people and trashy women

>>212094285
>please sirs, you're my only friends, rape is scary if we fake it

So this is the power of being a faggot

>>212090918
definitely something a closeted homo would think

>>212094285
Is he hanging out with the dead girl or the alcoholic who hasn't worked in years? Do Sarah and Freddie have him over for tea out of pity?

>>212094395
They all got together and were doing audio dramas together
Besides the whedon friends like, Aker/alexis/Hannigan

>>212094408
>look, I'm besties with a 50 year old woman

wow

>>212094331
Enjoy it, anon. It's just not for me.

>>212094395
>the alcoholic who hasn't worked in years
Which one? Because the cast don't talk to Nicholas Brendon anymore after he got drunk and fought people at a con once.

>>212094452
Yeah, anon. It's normal for middle-aged men to have middle-aged women as friends. Do you have women friends your own age?

>>212094538
>women friends
Sar! Good morning!

>>212094640
Do you only have male friends, anon? That's quite gay.

>>212094656
>it doesn't know why its grammar is bad
Hello!

>>212083177 (OP)
>younger
The fuck? Buffy was already aimed at teenagers at the start

>>212094475
>Because the cast don't talk to Nicholas Brendon anymore after he got drunk and fought people at a con once.
The cast is fractured as fuck. Stop trying to act like they're some cohesive group.

>>212094777
You don't have female friends?

>>212094836
>having friends at all
Begone normalfag.

>>212094864
You don't even have one friend?

>>212094939
Why would I?

>>212094836
>it took three tries for it to use 'the google'

>>212090042
I'm a millennial and I enjoyed the movie but never cared for the show. It was mainly popular with vaginas though

>>212095257
Please, sir. It was hard. I needed to type W as in Wendy, O as in Oprah, M as in Moe, E as in Edward, and N as in Nancy to find out with my Google play cards.

>>212095275
90s born queers were a mistake

>>212089468
Well yeah, it's public knowledge he cheated on his pregnant wife. He also paid off some chick who accused him of molesting her.

>>212083177 (OP)
How could it be lighter? The "darkness" in the original communicated stakes and the humor was there for contrast. If everything is bright and happy and one liners there's no stakes. If they man they're going to tone down the melodrama that's fine but that isn't exactly implied by the word "lighter".

Bunch of hacks.

>>212095657
I'm assuming less overall: child endangerment, less of Buffy being in danger, no Buffy dying, vampires aren't allegories for child molestors/rapists, there's less actual 'scary' shit like the nightmare demon, the wishverse vampires, etc

It'll probably be some weird mixture of them all running scared at first and then suddenly all of them can go hand to hand with vampires except the 'special boss one' that requires Buffy to fight it while her friends kill the other vampires and we get Barracuda playing for grrrrrrl powah

>>212095657
The original was all over the place tonally. They can easily just focus on the goofier side of the show rather than having Willow flay people in the woods or a season-long depression arc for Buffy.

>>212095572
Be sure to wash your Spike action figure after you diddle yourself with it tonight

It will be exactly like the charmed remake.

>>212095790
Spike was probably the worst character on the show, or at least became the worst character.

>>212095880
Wouldn't know I thought SMG was better as Kendall

>>212095797
Dead on arrival.>>212095880

>>212095880
Spike wasn't that bad when paired with Dru
It made most of what he did make sense
When he was written to replace Xander as Joss's stand in for his own rapist insert Spike just went off the rails
Like the whole 'I'm a bad ass vampire who will make her want me, no wait I gotta earn it' really was Joss just putting himself in the whole fantasy arc he had as a teenager

>>212093715
the 2000s called, it wants its eyeliner back

>>212095983
The cunt store called, they're running out of you.

What a cute young lady

>>212085240
Different time, but it was also easy to overlook when the “high school students” were clearly in their mid to late 20s. If Sarah Michelle Gellar actually looked like a high schooler, more eyebrows would have been raised.

>>212100736
agreed

>>212089158
Everyone talking about him like "How are they gonna explain how he's aged" but he hasn't.
Frankly he seems like he's moving a bit better than he did in Angel.

>>212089158
What is wrong with Americans? Is it something in the water? You're all brainwashed in some way, whether it be God or this nonsense

>>212089158

Without exception anyone who named themselves Slayer online was a dick.
