I have no real faith in it

I loved Buffy and later Angel, But i dont think a modern attempt at it will succeed unless they manage to both capture and maintain the spirit of the original(Which is never easy) while managing to update it for the current generation(also never easy)
Could be good. No harm in trying so I will be hopeful and check it out when it's out

Yeah. Say what you will about joss Whedon the man, but joss Whedon the writer/director...

That's a tough act to follow.

im rooting for this as buffy was one of my all time favorite shows
but im pretty sure xanders actor isnt really welcome back since last i heard his serious issues with drugs and alchohol are still a problem.

eliza dushku would be great to have return. but after she was sexually harassed on the set of bull and was fired for complaining about it she retired from acting. she is now a therapist
i would hope she would be willing to reprise her role

I love Buffy and Angel but a continuation... 20+ years later?

I'd rather they go for a full on reboot with no ties to what we had. Just start fresh. Admittedly that comes with it's own potential pitfalls.

Plus there being thousands if not hundreds of thousands of slayers worldwide now kinda makes the fight against evil al ittle one sided.

Andrew was literally building a private army of hot killer babes.

They aren't even going to have Joss Whedon involved.

same. Sure he was a bit of a jerk but he was an amazing writer and director and even though the writers table was very big, he was a major heart of the show.

i think its best to leave the show be; I think it would try too hard to cater to the YouTube / TikTok generation

I just can't see a new cast comparing to the originals. The cast of Buffy was one of those rare groups where everyone clicked and it worked wonderfully.

No harm in trying

There is nothing but harm in trying.
Buffy is my top show but I really doubt this will be good. Without Joss (and for good reason) to guide it, I doubt it'll feel inspired and instead likely follow modern trends which will ultimately end up with a Buffy who hates us for loving her as she deconstructs everything that made the original show great before finally relenting to whatever mentee they cast who manages to change Buffy's mind at the last minute resulting in her sacrificing herself and passing the torch.

Then get cancelled.

I don't know, my emotions say I don't want this because as much as I can see some of the good parts of the sequel trilogy of Star Wars, I can't unsee so much of what they did to characters I loved. But logically, there IS a chance they can make a good Buffy follow up and if they never try, it will never happen.

If this goes ahead I'll be kinda scared to watch it.

There were comics that just escalated the threats enough that an army of them was kind of necessary.

But the comics are of questionable quality.

I don't have faith in this one either.

Im going to need the Angel cast in this too (spoilers for all of Angel) with a way better ending for Cordelia please

but I could see this being fun from where Buffy ended. Have the cast as mentor cameos could be cool

I'm guessing this thing just ignores the sequel comics (probably for the best) and finds some way to drastically reduce the number of slayers in play.

I'm cautiously optimistic. Having SMG gives me a lot of hope and Chloe Zhao is a genuinely talented filmmaker.
