This, along with the fact that Whedon is not returning, does not bode well for the show at all. Tonally it will clearly be aimed at a young audience, which is why they cast pic rel in the lead who is three years younger than SMG was.

I doubt it. It will be full of mystery meat brownoids.

Your subtle LOL TEENAGE GIRLS op aside, she's a fucking terrible actress who was even nominated for a Razzie.

>>212275118
The Razzies revoked that

Looks like a chud

mr samefag, we don't need her to be a good actress to jerk off to her doing flips and stabbing vampires. now go be a fag somewhere else

You shouldn’t be jerking off to kids at all, Chaim

>>212274625
Hi, Joss

>>212276198
kids don't have tits

>>212276212
nta but it’s pretty pointless without joss. He was the show. It’ll just be more ya slop with no personality

>>212274288 (OP)
The original show was a campy clownfest filled with cringey teen angst dialogue and happy nonsense all the time though? It was "hot topic/spencers gifts" tier "dark" not actually dark and edgy in any way.
How would it get lighter? Is this a straight up comedy show now?
>>212274944
kek
>>212275215
Damn the wall is cruel and fast these days.

>>212275215
she cute

>>212275215
Better without glasses and with her hair down. However she still has that big honkin forehead

>>212276407
SMG said lighter than the later seasons. Which were still light so I don’t know what the hell she’s talking about. Maybe code for TikTok friendly

>>212276591
Sure.. I guess? Anytime I saw anything from Buffy/Angel when I was younger it always seemed like a tiny bit edgier clarissa explains it all but they have vampires around and shit kek
Nothing I ever saw on that show felt like anything more than fapfodder for hot topic girls.

>>212276715
Buffy had some angst and some of the shit about mental illness and “trauma” that Whedon loves. I guess some of the monsters were gross and too scary for little kids. In terms of tone though it was usually on the level of Totally Spies. If this is like that then I guess it’ll be fine

>>212274288 (OP)
>a 15 year old is playing a 15 year old

You're trying too hard.

>>212276867
>I guess some of the monsters were gross and too scary for little kids.
I don't see how that would've been an issue. It was always in the same timeslot as like supernatural and shit later on. (SPN showed some surprisingly brutal stuff for a CW show too)
I guess if it didn't focus as much on the teen angst that could be an improvement though. Those shows were all way too thick with that shit to the point where even girls I knew at the time weren't into them. My ex and I stopped watching smallville because of the relationship drama kek

>>212274288 (OP)
The old show was shit.

>>212277078
Oh wow she can hold a gun.
Very intimidating, much girlboss

>>212277133
this I never saw the appeal. Incredibly cheesy
I did like the movie tho, pee wee was good

bro why are you raging at this little kid actress

why are you posting pics of children on 4channel

Its chudette sweetie

>>212274288 (OP)
>Whedon is not returning
that is the best news i've heard this entire decade

>>212274288 (OP)
So? The movie (AKA the first thing this shit ever was) was also more fun and lighthearted. Whedon and his faggot ass "nerdedgy" quipology just ruined it and also other properties for years.

>>212274288 (OP)

those are some impressive...autograph prices for a 15 year old

>>212277881
Those are rookie numbers in this racket

>>212277881
70 bucks is nothing impressive

>>212277938
>>212277963

>>212276591
>>212276715
>>212276867
>>212276407
The latter seasons had more death and rape.

>>212278277
not enough rape or death though, and I'm not even indian!

>>212278045
Mark could destroy that by signing a bunch of autographs at home and flooding it

>>212279330
I don't disagree, just saying its why that whole race to the top started and now its their sole justification for keeping it there.

>>212278277
Are u memeing or did people actually get raped on Buffy

>My dream is to bring back everyone who has died, but space will have to be made for new stories as well.”
THEY WILL USE AI TRACHTENBERG CONFIRMED

but in all seriousness it’s Chloe Zhao is replacing Whedon so it’s gonna suck

>>212279644
Buffys guy friend tried to rape her at least once, and this vampire edgelord guy also tries several times. And then I'm pretty sure there were multiple instances of actual rape

>>212279744
can't rape the willing.

Great, another nepo baby.

for me, it's Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)

>>212274288 (OP)
as with literally every modern reboot. no one is gonna watch this or care about this. literally no one. it's just gonna run it's course and when it's done it'll be like it never even existed in the first place

>>212274625
Fine by me,I'm tired of the whedon-esque dialogue. I hope he gets eaten by religious cannibals

>>212280051

>>212280073
Wrong. If they cast more 15 year olds it will be huge on /tv/

>>212275215
No, she looks like M*sha Babko-

>>212279907
How is she a nepo baby?

>>212281495
Her father is actor Dean Armstrong

>>212281532

>>212281943
Oh right, of course

>>212281631
You see, in retard land, they think being in acting at all automatically gives you the reach of the CEO of Disney or Warner Bros.

>>212282432
Well if Tim Chalamet and Jonah Hill are nepo babies because they’re Jewish, you can’t really give this girl a pass. She wouldn’t have become a child actress without her dad

>>212282572
...and?
are you suggesting a child following their parents' career path is somehow notable?

>>212282602
No.
But getting opportunities in a very competitive field through family is nepotism

He’s not an extra; he’s made a lot of appearances and has been working a long time, and he’s an in demand acting coach. She said herself he was the one who got her her first jobs.

>>212282853
Calm down, I acknowledged it’s normal and am not upset by it. But it is nepotism.

>>212280288
Yeah marilyn manson was great in this

>>212280288

I think the main appeal of the original was the well-pitched balance between fun and grimdark. Tipping it one way or the other is a mistake, it's a winning formula. Same thing worked for Supernatural for 15 years.

>>212277252
because they're starring in televisions and films? Retard

The issue isn't that she got her foot in the door; the issue is she keeps getting rewarded for failing.

>>212283687
The gall of these faggots to nominate children for bad acting.

>>212283687
I've seen that Firestarter remake. She had no business being nominated, and the Razzies in general are garbage that don't watch any of the films they "nominate", they just look at whatever got bad reviews and some amount of publicity and pick those.

The actual person who should have been nominated was Zac Efron, who was absolutely dire in the film. But you'd have to watch it to know that. The girl was perfectly fine.

>>212283687
are you retarded?

>>212283784
>and the Razzies in general are garbage that don't watch any of the films they "nominate", they just look at whatever got bad reviews and some amount of publicity and pick those.

Oh yeah the far reaching influence of "Dean Armstrong". Nothing to do with the Razzies randomly crapping on a little kid for no reason.

It is fuckin weird that he calls both his bimbo girlfriend and his daughter his “girls”

>>212284112
No it isn't.

I'm starting to sense with these Buffy revival threads there is one anon here with a bizarre grudge against Ryan Kiera Armstrong, which is maybe the most random choice in /tv/ history to hold a grudge against

>>212284187
very solid take. probably the same fag that's always shitting on emma myers, some troon or terminal feminist that hates pretty young blondes

>>212284229
It’s the same guy who says Isabela Merced is queer
There are only 3 people who post here

Have they cast Faith yet?

Whedon's original vision for the show was that Vampires represented teenage angst and urges that were supposed to be overcome and defeated.

James Marsters was supposed to be killed off after two episodes but his ratings were too good, so Whedon was forced by the network to keep spike.

Whedon was enraged because he though James Marsters was ruining his show.

>>212284258
That's the kikifag, he has a grudge against Moner for years now. Though he hates other waifus too.

It just wont be the same without Willow. She was the cutest character.

>>212274861
Fucked up is the rule was for any men on set lol. Also did whedon really just go total hermit mode? Why not just write shit and post it on a blog or something

>>212274288 (OP)
No Whedy
No watchy
Or more likely it will be on a streaming service I don't have.

>>212283552
this show was fun

>>212284333
Why wouldn't she be in it?

>>212284333
She’s gonna show up. all the living cast members will be there

>>212284187
No more random than grown men simping for a no name 15 year old actress I would argue.

>>212284655
the wall comes for them all

>>212284688
That's not random at all. There's a very clear & rational causal path at work there.

>>212284688
Well you couldn't have possibly done more to confirm my suspicions with this post, barring a signed affidavit.

>>212284035
>get handed a career you have no talent for
>people rightfully point this out
>hollywood throws a tantrum that people dare criticize the golden child
>give her starring roles in famous ips as a fuck you to the public
This is not organic.

>>212274288 (OP)
I bet this is going to be one of those modern TV shows where you will be lucky to get 10 episodes per season, and then there will be 2-year gaps between each season too. Look at a show like Euphoria where they only started filming season 3 earlier this year, three full years after season 2 had aired.

>>212284688
There's nothing random about that, I saw her in Skeleton Crew and thought she was both cute and had some good charisma for a young actress so I have no issue seeing her cast here.
You on the other hand seem to have decided to have a grudge against a random teenage girl.

>>212276407
>not actually dark and edgy in any way
It was kind of dark for what it was; for instance Buffy dies by drowning in a shallow pool of water at the end of the first season. That is more intense than what you usually see on a show targeted towards teenage girls.

Realistically he should come back for a show he was so pivotal on.

But also I mean, they can just get any MCU writer and they'll do as good a job.

It'll be Buffy: The MCU Edution

>>212289887

Angel was better than Buffy after Buffy entered Season 5. By that time every character became flanderized and the writing stagnated hard

>>212283374
The only time it ever got "grimdarl" was the rape or when Willow flayed that guy alive, otherwise it was mostly just B Horror tropes and 90's / 00's teen drama when it got serious.

Yeah, I've been rewatching the show in the past year and just finished season 5; the vampires are not even a threat in seasons 4 and 5. They're just props at this point. It was kind of strange how in the episode where Joyce died Joss felt the need to shoehorn a vampire in near the end of the episode too.

>>212284597
what a fucking moron. Also this show is treasure island for 60iq manchildren.

>>212289389
They probably won't let him have a main role on the show since they'll think he'll get arrested and fuck up the production schedule.

>>212284655
I cant remember how her arc ended but I remember she died then came back as some God or something. She was so sexy during season 1 of Angel.

>>212284858
shes more face than head. Interesting.

they will go through the whole 80s 90s catalogue

please AI make them obsolete

what went wrong

It's going to be tough juggling introducing a whole new cast while the audience is wondering what happened to Willow,Dawn,Xander etc etc

I don't trust modern writers to be able to handle this at all.

How could it be lighter and more fun without turning into straight-up Friends with vampires?

But the original buffy was already light hearted, so it's just gonna be straight up romcom shit now or what?

Yikes

>>212274288 (OP)
>lighter
It was already extremely light to begin with. It was always just fighting wacky monsters while quipping. The only "darkness" in later seasons was literal. Darker lighting, darker nail polish, darker hair, etc. They were hanging out with friendly demons in those seasons

>>212284531
>Fucked up is the rule was for any men on set lol
exactly this.

>>212274288 (OP)
you need joss whedon running this show, or men at least. women running this show means all edgy, and darker elements will be removed, women hate season 6 because of how dark it was, and it will be written like a fantasy sex and the city. women like buffy as a friend simulator, but buffy had broad appeal with men, because it had some well written drama and dark horror elements and the fantasy mythology was taken seriously and written well, with interesting season long stories ending in action packed climaxes with gruesome villains. women aren't going to be able to write any of that well, they'll sanitize it, and make it bland.

>>212297859
Ok the key show elements were

Buffy is a strong and independent slayer, dating and flirting was secondary and not the main plot it had a mentor telling her what was important, it was never dating and flirting

>>212297859

This. It was already over before it even began!

>>212277195
Complain when casting is woke, complain when it isn't, some people just look for reasons to be unhappy.
