I think reboots in general are problematic. They're necessarily "old thing you like... But not really old thing."

It works better in animation or games compared to having to get new actors. But no matter what they are stuck with the baggage of trying to have an identify while being tied to the old thing.

I have no problem with this. I'll wait and see how it goes. maybe it might even be better. one thing they should fix is how the Big Bads always get killed really fast. I hated how they would hype up these villains and then they suddenly die in 3 seconds. it was so stupid.

Plus the comic series filled that niche well. Season 8 and 9 were good. I haven't checked out 10 or any after.

It won't be better. You cannot recreate the chemistry that entire cast had which was a huge part of the show.

Yeah first thing that came to my mind was how well the actors did, recapturing that will be difficult.

They should just make Fray The Future Slayer show tbh, this way they can have their "reboot" but still be canon.

how about a past slayer? I was big into Hercules and Xena back in the day. do an ancient slayer show set in some part of history and just do stories about fighting monsters in medieval times or roman empire or something. that would be pretty cool actually

The first slayer would have been cool TBH.

like most reboots it will probably suck
but the potential is there for it to be just as good or even better than the original
just dont rehash the same stories
create new ones. sure you can use the same big bads but you can use them in different and exciting ways

BtVS is my all-time favorite TV show so this does not sound like a good idea to me. The original cast, stories, and dialogue will not be recaptured.

maybe give cordelia the visions she gets from angel in the main series. you can change how she gets them but still give them to her so she can have her story arc of becoming a good person through her visions that made her so endearing on angel

maybe kill off angel for real and deal with a major fall out from buffy's decision to kill him without it being reset next season

maybe have giles die and have buffy have to learn on her own with no watcher to guide her

there are many things you can do with the original to play with the concepts and create a new dynamic
a reboot doesnt have to be bad

I don't see this going well at all. Spike and Giles character wouldn't be the same without the actors. I want to say the same about Buffy but I feel like they could put another hot blonde in there with decent delivery and it might be ok

guys, if it's just a reboot set in modern day, and a just a retelling, I have a feeling only BUffy will return and everyone else will be totally different people. I don't think there will be a Giles or Angel even, or Spike or Cordelia or anything. those weren't in the original movie either. each reboot is just about the basic idea of Buffy and then side characters are always different.

Or, the 1960s or something.
Is it really a coincidence that vampire attacks never occurred while the Grateful Dead were in any given town?

Apparently Buffy will be black this time. Also, Joss Whedon is involved, so that's a good sign.

the core 4 will probably be in it like xander, giles, willow and buffy

angel, spike and cordelia may be in it. cordy is iffy they may not use her but angel and spike will probably make it in

characters like oz, anya, tara and dawn probably wont make the cut

question: would you rather it have the same side characters and fuck everything up and be bad?

or

it just be a totally new universe like how the first show was to the movie, and only have Buffy return in a new world, with completely new family and friends and maybe actually be good in it's own unique way
