They should make a show called Slayer. Each season or two depicts a different slayer. A slayer from 1920's Chicago. A slayer from 1890's London. A slayer from 1977 New York. One of the best parts of Buffy were the amazing death scenes. Now you get to kill off a slayer every year or two.
I’m seeing your comments everywhere haha And I totally agree. They tried with the animated series and that’s a no. I could see a revival as a possibility but I worry it would be like girl meets world or many of the other revival shows that loose focus between the old and new
The thing is, there are million spin off things you can do with Buffy, including continuing the show with the set up they’ve left end of it. Or you know, you could make Fray! God Disney should just make Fray!
My thinking exactly. They would make it about the stupid hissy fights they get into on twitter or something like that. I have no faith in modern hollywood to do anything right. Last year in particular the shows they put out were so bad it was almost unbelievable.
I would do a revival, with the backstory being that the slayers have been greatly diminished in numbers, and that the spell that created all the slayers, reduced the number of potentials so that each generation is slowly reducing the number of slayers to the point that either the slayer will be gone or it will return to the one slayer in every generation. Currently there's only a few slayers left on Earth, let's say 7, including Buffy. But the show isn't about her, it's about a young teenage slayer living in a town with a newly discovered Hellmouth. We can bring in someone like Michelle Tratchenburg as her watcher to link the series
That sounds good. OR we can make several of the slayers slowly lose their minds and have gone full evil and the new one has to take them out or depower them
I like that have Buffy be someone they have to find or just the Legend of Buffy and the other 90s Slayer, have SMG pop up close to the finale to bring it all homw
They already said, if they did a reboot it'd be about a different/new slayer (and all new characters with possible cameos). Which I think would def be the way to go. I watched Buffy and Angel ever since each of their first episodes aired and til each of their final episodes. I'm so happy I got to be a part of that.
This is one of my all-time favourite shows! Love the points you made - a revival versus a reboot both seem a difficult task now that you've made me really think about it, haha. And your theme song is so clean! And that rap! 😮😮
Buffy should never be rebooted but the Slayer lore does have possibilities to explore. I wouldn't mind a new Vampire Slayer show just not involving Buffy.
I mean, I think show creators today are just writing characters that aren't all that likeable, but they feel justified because a lot of younger audiences have grown up watching reality TV, which lives by the mantra drama over dignity. Euphoria and Succession are prime examples. And while I enjoy Succession, I watch it waiting for character redemption arcs to come around.... and most of the time I'm left waiting.
I believe a *very underestimated* problem a new"Buffy"in _any_ form would have is _time._ Not(only)in the sense of time _period_ the show has to be settled in,but the time you use _to watch it._ A big reason why"Buffy"is so complex and memorable is that we get the _time_ to explore every character very deeply. And why we are able to do that?Because each season(apart from the 1st)has *22 episodes!* Modern shows I've been watching,like"The Wilds"or"Wednesday"barely have 10...they're *shorter* than Buffy's shortest(and most underrated)season!!HOW can you expect to have the same complexity and depth with such little time?!?And also...in the '90s/early 2000s we took _the time_ to _wait_ and _process_ things between 1 episode and the next.AND WE DIDN'T GET ANY SPOILERS IN THE MEANTIME!!!Nowadays everyone wants to binge everything and if you,say,need to wait for the show to be dubbed in your language or you wanna watch 1 ep each week like in the good old '90s *you will get surrounded by spoilers in no time!!!* 😵 And I know this for sure because it's happening to me with"Wednesday"!! I have watched 1 ep each Wednesday since it came out which means I'm at ep 6 and yet I already know at least(counts)10 things I'm not supposed to know yet...maybe I even forgot some(I wrote 6 and then I kept changing the number because I remembered more and more things). Imagine a world in which you get Joyce's death or the S5 finale or Dawn's identity or Tara's death being spoiled to you!How HORRIFIC would that be?!?X-((( *Leave"Buffy"alone in the wonderful '90s where she belongs,please!!!* 🙏
While I agree with you wholeheartedly about the time aspect, you may have spoiled Buffy for someone watching it, lol. You could just write the episode titles like most fans do. So grateful I got to watch Buffy as it aired; you nailed the experience.✌
@@Heather_in_Kansas I thought there might have been that risk,but I assumed whoever watches a video about"Buffy"already knows the show otherwise..the video itself technically would spoil a lot of things. Fun fact...I also watched"Buffy"when it aired,but...probably starting by ep 3x04 so _I myself_ got a lot of things"spoiled",like what Angel and Oz were,for example,and when I went back to watch S1 I had *no idea* Willow had been in love with Xander her whole life and that Oz wasn't even a part of the"core"gang...such a shock it was!!😱
We didn't get any spoilers in the meantime? What are you talking about? We got way more spoilers than any first time reactors now do. We were bombarded with previews for the next episode all week long - actual clips with dialogue and spoilers. Not to mention, you could always go online on Buffy forums and find out everything that was going to happen, cause it would get leaked or some it would air first in some other country.
@@spikesecho724 You maybe forget that internet wasn't that accessible at that time.We weren't spending all day online like we do now and to get spoilers from forums you had to _know_ a forum and willingly go there and willingly _search_ for _specific sections_ dedicated to spoilers(and you had to know English most of the times because the spoilers necessarely came from America...I'm Italian and I was a kid when I started to watch"Buffy"..I actually improved my English level heaps *_thanks_* to the"Buffy"DVDs so..no..I _wouldn't_ have been able to look for spoilers,unless I could find the *1* italian website with the spoilers decently translated,IF there was 1!X-P).Nowadays,try to open Twitter or RUclips _without_ getting spoiled on the current trend series...I assure you it's much more difficult!!@.@ Plus..I'm pretty sure the spoilers you are referring to only were about _the next_ episode. The *1* next episode...NOT THE WHOLE BLOODY SEASON WHEN YOU'RE STILL AT EPISODE 2!!!>O
If anything they need to do a prequel about Nikki Wood. a black woman living in New York in the 1970's who struggles to be a single mother by day and a vampire slayer by night.
Also,seeing some Eliza Dushku love in this made me smile. She's my fav. Also,Angel's my preferred show. But I do love Buffy. And seeing a reboot would frickin' suck.
Yes. Just avoid HD remaster because it sucks. Better watch fan made version, upscaled by AI tools from original 480p to 1080p 🙂 It preserves original colors, screen ratio, doesn't have weird cropped image. Look for this name: 1080p.DVDRip.AI.Upscaled.10bit.x265-Buffyverse
"Things that could be changed for the better in a modern adaption, the cinematography for the fight scenes is a clear example of this" What??? Buffy has some of the best fight scenes in all of television. The fight scenes on Buffy are better than most fight scenes on TV today.
Some fight scenes were terrible, but majority was good. In later seasons, when she started learning hybrid combat style, fight scenes quickly became amazing and satisfying
As much as I love Buffy I think the only addition to the franchise I’d accept would be a prequel series that follows Spike & Dru. Mostly cus I’ve recently gotten into the 60s/70s era and I loved the little mentions by Spike in btvs. I would definitely love to see Spike getting high off hippie blood 😂 I would also love to see more of Robin’s mom she had a really cool look. I mean a slayer in a leather trench coat what’s not to love? Plus since Buffy doesn’t become the slayer until the late 90s that gives us 20 years between Nikki’s death and Spike’s arrival at Sunnyvale for more stories. My main issue with a new series featuring a Buffy successor is the thought of not having Buffy.
You said Buffy is the 90s. And your right. I've read some of the Buffy comics that Boom Studios put out. It was set more contemporary (in the 2010s) While the stories were okay, there was one glaring thing that I immediately had a problem with. It was Willow's clothes. In BTVS Willow was very reserved when it came to her clothing choices, and this was even mentioned in the season 2 episode Halloween where Willow says, "I don't get wild. Wild on me equals 'spaz.'" Yet in the Boom Studios comic they have Willow showing more skin than she did in the series. When I saw the first panel of Willow in the comic she was wearing a miniskirt and fishnet stockings and I was like really, Willow would never have worn a miniskirt and fishnet stockings. I'm all for a continuation set twenty years after the end of BTVS. But an out and out reboot would need some major retooling to take it out of that 90s setting. I'm not saying it couldn't be good but it definitely won't be as good as BTVS is.
As far as Willow goes, Joss has said that he wanted Willow to be bi in the original series, but the network would barely let him make her gay, and definitely would not let him make her bi. If a new series was doing justice to her character at all, it would remedy the bi-erasure.
Lmao did you not watch the show? She was pretty bi, dude. That doesn't need to get fixed. Was it not steamy enough for youor something? This mentality sounds so like modern hollywood though, constantly trying to fix problems that never existed.
@@jacobrogers2906 Dude fucking stop. I do think she was bi, don't read into my statement something I didn't say. Joss Whedon says she was not and Willow herself says she's gay and frequently denied being attracted to men anymore, going as far as attempting to cast a spell to turn a boy into a girl. When I had discussions in forums at the beginning of the decade about Willow being bi, I was met with vehement arguments stating she was gay and how dare we try to take away from the progressiveness of the show by diluting her gayness with bi-ness, essentially bi-erasure. Of course I don't need a steamy scene, why on earth would I need that. I need Willow to state, "Bi now!" with the same energy she stated, "Gay now!"
Buffy is so good!!! Alot of people i know watched the whole season. Ive seen it at least 10x I was a teen in the 90's . Its one of my fav shows of the time.
If they would do something from the buffyverse, it should be a new slayer, new characters, from our timeline.(It can make sense because at the end every potential became a slayer.) So if the older actors would come to visit ( not the vampire ones) it would make sense that they are older.
No to a reboot. No to a revival. Yes to stories about a different slayer. I'm totally down for BtVS expanded universe, but Buffy's story is done and doesn't need to be retold, rehashed or regurgitated.
There's another Hellmouth in Cleveland. I would continue where season 7 left off and have a team of Slayers watch over the 2nd Hellmouth. If they want to have a guest star here and there I wouldn't be against that.
Buffy is so perfect, it cannot be rebooted. But, it can (and should) be continued. And no we don’t need everyone to be a gen z tick tock obsessed person
I'm still a huge fan and actually own the entire series on DVD (yes, I said it - DVD 🤣) We now know Whedon's a butthead but the show was rad for me primarily because of it's cast
The DVDs are better anyway, since the streaming services always show the HD version which Fox did such a bad job on - for example brightening up the screen so much that it looks like vampires are strolling about under the mid-day sun!
Any production company wanting to reboot Buffy has clearly never watched Buffy, and will only be doing it for a lame cage grab, and ANY effort in that direction would be a catastrophic disaster of epic proportions. The ONLY way something could be done would be to set the show at some point in either the distant future or the distant past, with a completely different slayer who is NOT named “Buffy”. I would prefer something in the distant future, with some explanation of how the army of slayers was wiped out, some kind of unforeseen side effect of the magic, or a governmental conspiracy, a slayer plague, a mass demon invasion that manages to slaughter them all, who knows? But a distant past storyline could also be fun, changing slayers and time frames from season to season, a la American Horror Story. Unfortunately, no one in hollywood has the talent or the soul to craft something anywhere near the quality of writing, or acting, that Buffy and Angel had. Sooo, no. I agree that there should never be any attempt at a Buffy remake/reboot/revival. At least not in my lifetime, please.
There is one important reason that Buffy can't be rebooted. Because Buffy is flawed, and no one knows how, or even has the desire, to write flawed female characters today. #girlboss
Firstly can you make that into an actual song and secondly after seeing zendaya in euphoria, you cant really deny her acting ability. Especially if they use the buffy the vampire slayer comics as a reference and set it in the future with guest appearances from the original cast.
I can think of many successful shows that have had the same issues you've mentioned and proven that people STILL don't care about vampire/human age gaps. We still find socially inept characters amusing even endearing. There are a number of iconic shows with successful continuations. Star Trek, CSI, NCIS, The Walking Dead. There's definitely writing talent out there. Having said that, I can't think of a way to revamp Buffy. Doesn't mean someone more creative couldn't do it.
I have always wanted a Nikki The Vampire Slayer show if they were to reboot it. It would be cool to have it set in the gritty backdrop of 1970s New York with the Mafia & Vampire worlds being interwoven.
Honestly Hollywood wouldn't know a good script if it bit them in the ass these days, let alone able to find a capable director and writing team and letting them have full autonomy in the creation process it would turn into a cheap imitation of what made the show great. And while it has fantastic messaging and progressive themes throughout it was first and foremost a character driven series, you could watch the entire cast sit on a bench waiting for a bus and it would still be some of the best TV to air. So I'm happy you highlighted that as one of your first points! Josh Weedon absolutely knows how to write, he would frequently do re-writes and edits of scripts for episodes to polish them up (how he started in the industry in fact). The problem though is he loves to slide in or undercut dramatic moments with a joke, and they thankfully they usually land in Buffy. However it's been copied so often by franchisees from Marvel that I think its going to just be a cliche if they go that route with the humor. Personally give me a series in the same universe but with new characters, as much as I loved the original cast I don't think a reboot of the series will do anything but constrain and limit the writers. It should take place after the events of Buffy/Angel which lore wise it also makes a lot of sense after the events in Buffy's last season as the line of slayers has been massively expanded. This also helps prevent people from comparing the characters/episodes/series directly to Buffy and lets it stand on its own merits. That said for those wanting for an awesome review of the Angel/Buffy series in a psudo book club format I'd check out the Passion of the Nerd's channel its a brilliant series.
Sarah Michelle Gellar fell out of love with the series after season 6 and called it quits after season 7. Truth is she really wants nothing to do with the show even though she spoke highly of it and this has been the case ever since 2003
She spoke highly of it because there is so much value in it. But one can understand that season six was difficult for her and for James too. Common sense tells us that we can't judge the whole series by what it looked like at the end (sesons 6 and 7). She knows it. Even if everything had gone her way in the last 2 seasons, I doubt she would have wanted to stay longer. No actor/actress wants to be associated with only one role throughout their entire career. She made a good choice.
I never watched Buffy, but I found out reading the entirety of the Word of Gay page on TV Tropes that Joss Whedon confirmed that both of Buffy's vampire boyfriends had a one night stand with each other! Is this the closest we have to the male equivalent of [spoiler] from The Legend of Korra?
I already rewrote the wedding in my head and the old demon gets his ass kicked and anya gets her happy marriage to the zander in a pretty lil bow. The viewers are king nobody wanted a break up for them whedon!!!!
Rebooting Buffy could happen. And recontextualizing it for Gen Z would be fun… so long as the commitment to sharp writing and characterization was there, a good show could happen. The real problem is the value shift from streaming platforms. They’re not going to allow lengthy seasons and the time to develop that older shows had.
Well.... Buffy had filler episodes in every season. First season had 12 episodes in total and at least 4 or even more of them can be skipped during subsequent rewatching. That gives us 8 episodes. You can pack a lot into 8 episodes, but you have to make good use of every minute. So... avoid like fire long slow meaningless walks like in 'Asoka' by Disney :P
I hope there is not a reboot. Buffy is the original masterpiece the foundations if you like and a lot of shows today built on top of it. If anything instead of recreating the show they should carry on with the storyline after the comics and give us a look into the other slayers around the world. It would be wonderful to see some cameos in there from the original cast.
It's so sad that the only way Joss could control strong women is to create them in fiction and then torture them :) I should get my PHD in Psychology :P
For the whole Buffy and Angel relationship thing, they could make it so that Angel wasn't in his twenties when he was turned. I heard that that was what Boom was going for in their first Buffy comic reboot, before it got canceled. Granted, that doesn't fix everything, of course, but it's still better than what the show did, tbh. Like, if Angel was turned when he was a teenager or something, somewhere around Buffy's age, at least he isn't really physically older than she is (or mentally, older if you buy into that vampire lore that a lot of vampire media tries to spout: that a vampire is frozen as the age they were turned, like even mentally and maturity level-wise), even if he's lived two-hundred fifty years or whatever. Though I still don't think they should reboot Buffy, as you said and many others have. And I don't think they really would. It WOULD probably be a revival. In fact, I think that was the original plan for the new show (though the showrunner's words were confusing. She seemed to go back and forth on them a lot). But now it seems to be entirely off the table, with the Joss Whedon cancelling and the planned showrunner now working on the Percy Jackson show instead (that I AM elated about, don't get me wrong). :( Oh, well. We can just dream about what a show about a new Slayer would be like, perhaps. And at least there are the books by Kendare Blake coming out. "In Every Generation" was pretty good. I'm also looking forward to what you might have to say about AtS, coming up. And oh, man! You're the person who made that video about Zack Fair's voice? Amazing! I'm also excited about the Advent Children video that you hinted at, at the end of this video! Keep the cool things coming:)
Thanks for doing this, Jayniac! There's also the conflation over whether or not this is meant to be a real "reboot" or a sequel series. They seem to be using those terms synonymously... Why? Just why? If it were a sequel series, I wouldn't mind it all that much, and I'd actually love to see Zendaya in the franchise. But a reboot is completely unworkable for all the reasons you've listed in this video. ALSO: We _need_ a new Buffy game! I'm thinking of something in the same style as Assasin's Creed, the Arkham Games or the recent Spider-Man ones.
I think they could do a continuation with a similar vibe as Wednesday on Netflix. Bring Alyson Hannigan and Tony Head back to play Willow and Giles teaching a new generation of slayers and witches. Sarah doesn’t have to appear as Buffy at all.
The fact is, if they reboot buffy, they Will ruin it, make it bad in every single existing way possible, remake everything, change caracters personality and everything that is buffy, like they Always do with reboots, just look at the charmed reboot. Horrible
They should make a small onscreen reunion, maybe 1 - 3 episodes with 45 +/-3 minutes runtime each. A kind of an annual family meeting in the middle of nowhere, no internet, no phone. They should ignore the comics for the most time (have the first two season 8 books and besides the cool sidelines in popculture references and 1on1-talks they are not a plausible continuation of the s7-finale). Since Buffys content is still relevant, there is not so much new stuff to add to fill a whole season. For the aging problem of Spike and Angel: Well, we know at least two ways in universe to turn them back into humans, so if this happend years ago, they could save money for deepfaking them (and since Buffy is more like Sarah for a normal life instead one full of adventures, i expect her ending up with Angel and havin' kids).
The reboot already happened in the comics. Sort of a soft reboot, I don't really dislike it, so I guess for a new generation would be considered good overall. It has a mix of all those ingredients, plus some high fantasy stuff
I 💯 agree! This show would be a pile crap if rebooted. Yes... The romantic relationships were unhealthy to say the least. But I think that was to illustrate how most of us don't know what we're doing as teenagers and young adults. Just fumbling through life, having to learn from our own mistakes and decisions. However, I do appreciate that Buffy was never less than her serious boyfriends. They always had an equal dynamic. Even in strength and intellect. Angel, Riley and Spike... She may have been physically stronger than Riley. Plus he probably treated her the best. I like Angel too... The spin-off. There was some weirdness I thought unnecessary in the later seasons. But overall I enjoyed it.
I enjoyed the video, and very much agree with you on the Buffy and Angel relationship - a 240 year old falling in love at first sight with a barely 15 year old girl sucking on a lollipop is a little too Lolita for my taste. I disagree with you on Drusilla and Spike though - if anything it was Drusilla taking advantage of Spike. I love Drusilla as a character and have so much empathy given what Angel did to her, but Drusilla was the one who sired Spike (which gives her power over him) and she sired him to create a companion, someone to adore her, entertain her, and take care of her when Angel and Darla didn't want to be bothered. I do think she cares about Spike as much as she is capable of, but she definitely views him as a possession, and is willing to toss him aside whenever anything else captures her attention, be it The Immortal, a Fungus demon, or especially her "Daddy" - Angel/Angelus.
I think you missed why Buffy's recruitment didn't appear until the end of season two. The creators knew they had built an unhealthy relationship. That's why they specifically gave Buffy a lollipop to signal 'Lolita vibes', that they were aware of it. Either way, I think these flashbacks in the finale of the second season are very weak, and apparently the creators do too, because in the Angel spin-off there was a total retcon of Angel's story.
Definitely a revival would be best. Now the question would be what the new main character's journey would be because simply have it a repeat of Buffy's would be a disservice both to BtVS and its revival.
@@giovannigiovanni.7220 I know, don't worry. But BtVS also has a metaphorical story that adds a layer to the whole series, and I wouldn't want to see a repeat of that journey.
I would like to see a different stake on a new Slayer maybe a 3 season series on streaming or a movie. I even thought about an anime series adaptation possibly 🤔
Most modern tv today sucks. Not all of of it, but most. I do not trust modern tv. I’d love a video game reboot/revival/continuation. The Buffy game for Xbox was the tits, a new series would be epic if done right.
Buffy and Angel’s romance could be rewritten as a platonic relationship evolving into a “will they they/won’t they”pairing in the reboot’s the third season, but then again, it would kill the potential for another Angelus heel turn and that’s something many Buffy fans would ant. The best way to reboot is if they do a 50/50 - keep certain storylines, while mixing them with original ones, so it doesn’t feel like a complete rehash of the show. I don’t see the need for a reboot, I’d very much prefer an animated limited series continuation so we can have Angel and Spike in, without having to deage them into uncanny valley monstrosities, akin to what they did with that weird Jack Lord cameo in the Hawaii 5-0 reboot. Also, I can definitely see most of the cast agreeing to an animated feature rather than a live action one, for various reasons.
Commenting so jay can have his money and support the boy all the love and support and everything Good happens in you job and in your videos Is that enough jay
I love Zendaya but god don't I want her to be cast in a buffy reboot or revival for that matter. In fact i just don't want any buffy reboot or revival TT
Buffy is my all time favorite show. I watch every Buffy reactor on RUclips but there is no way I would watch a Buffy reboot. Maybe a show about previous slayers before Buffy but anything post original Buffyverse characters would ruin perfection. I don't want to see a "woke" version and we can't pick it up years later with the same characters because of the vampires never aging thing. They should've gone with Ripper as they were talking about years ago. Other than that, I vote no on a reboot.
It wasnt just the 90s. Has some older gothic horror themes too. Power corrupts, magic is a dark art and isn't free / nothing is, sex and relationships are special while treating them otherwise is a sign of a pathology, and much more. But that all started to break down in season six and seven. A reboot would probably pick up there and be a different world. A modern... stupid and lame one that wouldn't appeal to me... And probably not other original fans even if they don't articulate why.
Preach brother. For me the series has reached its peak and ended with episode 5x22. There's no denying that there were some great episodes in seasons 6 and 7, but it wasn't Buffy anymore.
There’s a continuation coming set after buffy did the spell in the original continuity will be about a new slayer it’s being worked on but they put it on hold they don’t know for how long (probably cuz of Covid idk) so there is new buffy stuff coming we just don’t know when Sarah Michelle gellar says she won’t return because Buffy’s story is done but she says if they feel that there are more stories to tell in that universe then they should tell it and that she gives her blessing monica owusubreen is the showrunner Just felt like you should know
Back in the 00s, Howard Stern would refer to her as "Gel-LAR" as a gag about her heritage: www.reddit.com/r/howardstern/comments/4q37js/when_did_howard_start_calling_sarah_michelle/ Of course, all traces of this interview have been conveniently covered up by Sirius XM, ever since Sarah asked Howard to pay up on his end of the bet they made about her marriage to Freddie Prinze Jr. I was making a reference to this obscure fact because I thought it'd be funny.
Inappropriate relationships happen all the time when you fiction. Not just between vampires and humans but also vampires and vampires. Some vampires are thousands of years older than the vampires that they are with. There's no need to change that part. In Seinfeld nobody really likes Newman but he sticks around because he's their neighbor and I think landlord at one point. And I think they do like Anya just not all the time. Also Drusilla sired Spike. He fell for her while she was a vampire and she turned him just because she was kind of an invalid doesn't mean he took advantage of her. Also in the comics and several books they mentioned how the cellular line continues after the show ends.
0:21 That's IF it were to get an actual theme song/opening instead of a generic title card on a black background with a couple music notes or sum.... **glares at almost every CW series**
This is my favorite show, hands down, ever. That being said. I am for a reboot, but not a BUFFY reboot, a BUFFYVERSE reboot. Buffy should be long dead. Although, spoilers from Fray, she isn't. But change comic canon. Whatever. Point is, I am thirsty for the universe, but I have seen BUFFY's story. There are more stories to tell. Angel was a good example of that :)
Buffy was about it’s time, the culture that is now, and the journey for Buffy to become an independent, strong, emotionally intelligent, and understanding of real love woman. That can never be duplicated. It’s 20 years later and there were hundreds of Slayers awakened. The vile Watchers Council was eliminated , Buffy is 42/43, , new government officials are now in charge…. there’s much for a new story to carry on a modern version but it makes no sense…. None… to start Buffy over.Buffy could be an advisor to Slayers but she was done. Once Dawn was grown , Willow and Giles had found their peace… no more stories.Xander is not a compelling person to be at the center, Angel and Spike more than likely went down fighting, and Sunnydale is a tourist attraction for hikers to visit, like Pompeii.

If the apocalypse comes...Beep me!
What were your thoughts on the Spin off Angel ?
Chordelia, your mouth is open, sound is coming out…this is never good
They should make a show called Slayer. Each season or two depicts a different slayer. A slayer from 1920's Chicago. A slayer from 1890's London. A slayer from 1977 New York. One of the best parts of Buffy were the amazing death scenes. Now you get to kill off a slayer every year or two.
I really hope that they never reboot Buffy, some shows are perfect as they are.
You mean revive not reboot.
I’m seeing your comments everywhere haha
And I totally agree. They tried with the animated series and that’s a no. I could see a revival as a possibility but I worry it would be like girl meets world or many of the other revival shows that loose focus between the old and new

Modern tv would ruin Buffy in the way it ruins everything else.

I would do a revival, with the backstory being that the slayers have been greatly diminished in numbers, and that the spell that created all the slayers, reduced the number of potentials so that each generation is slowly reducing the number of slayers to the point that either the slayer will be gone or it will return to the one slayer in every generation. Currently there's only a few slayers left on Earth, let's say 7, including Buffy. But the show isn't about her, it's about a young teenage slayer living in a town with a newly discovered Hellmouth. We can bring in someone like Michelle Tratchenburg as her watcher to link the series
That sounds good. OR we can make several of the slayers slowly lose their minds and have gone full evil and the new one has to take them out or depower them
I like that have Buffy be someone they have to find or just the Legend of Buffy and the other 90s Slayer, have SMG pop up close to the finale to bring it all homw
@@distinguishedallureproduct879 The Slayer comes come home after beating the big bad and finds Buffy waiting for her on her porch. "So you beeped me?"

This is one of my all-time favourite shows! Love the points you made - a revival versus a reboot both seem a difficult task now that you've made me really think about it, haha. And your theme song is so clean! And that rap! 😮😮
Thank you so much!
@@JayniacJr Much rather a revival, with the old team, and their kids as new Scoobs!
I'd want it to CONTINUE WITH BUFFY.
She could be the head of the new council but train slayers as they find them and so on.
@@JayniacJrare they going have a new Buffy the vampire slayer reboot tv show?
Buffy should never be rebooted but the Slayer lore does have possibilities to explore. I wouldn't mind a new Vampire Slayer show just not involving Buffy.
I mean, I think show creators today are just writing characters that aren't all that likeable, but they feel justified because a lot of younger audiences have grown up watching reality TV, which lives by the mantra drama over dignity. Euphoria and Succession are prime examples. And while I enjoy Succession, I watch it waiting for character redemption arcs to come around.... and most of the time I'm left waiting.
You have no idea how much I FEEL this comment!
I wouldn't watch a reboot of Buffy but a revival yes.
I.... I'm GONE 😂
That probable theme song for today 💀💀💀
I believe a *very underestimated* problem a new"Buffy"in _any_ form would have is _time._ Not(only)in the sense of time _period_ the show has to be settled in,but the time you use _to watch it._ A big reason why"Buffy"is so complex and memorable is that we get the _time_ to explore every character very deeply. And why we are able to do that?Because each season(apart from the 1st)has *22 episodes!* Modern shows I've been watching,like"The Wilds"or"Wednesday"barely have 10...they're *shorter* than Buffy's shortest(and most underrated)season!!HOW can you expect to have the same complexity and depth with such little time?!?And also...in the '90s/early 2000s we took _the time_ to _wait_ and _process_ things between 1 episode and the next.AND WE DIDN'T GET ANY SPOILERS IN THE MEANTIME!!!Nowadays everyone wants to binge everything and if you,say,need to wait for the show to be dubbed in your language or you wanna watch 1 ep each week like in the good old '90s *you will get surrounded by spoilers in no time!!!* 😵 And I know this for sure because it's happening to me with"Wednesday"!! I have watched 1 ep each Wednesday since it came out which means I'm at ep 6 and yet I already know at least(counts)10 things I'm not supposed to know yet...maybe I even forgot some(I wrote 6 and then I kept changing the number because I remembered more and more things). Imagine a world in which you get Joyce's death or the S5 finale or Dawn's identity or Tara's death being spoiled to you!How HORRIFIC would that be?!?X-((( *Leave"Buffy"alone in the wonderful '90s where she belongs,please!!!* 🙏
While I agree with you wholeheartedly about the time aspect, you may have spoiled Buffy for someone watching it, lol. You could just write the episode titles like most fans do. So grateful I got to watch Buffy as it aired; you nailed the experience.✌
@@Heather_in_Kansas I thought there might have been that risk,but I assumed whoever watches a video about"Buffy"already knows the show otherwise..the video itself technically would spoil a lot of things. Fun fact...I also watched"Buffy"when it aired,but...probably starting by ep 3x04 so _I myself_ got a lot of things"spoiled",like what Angel and Oz were,for example,and when I went back to watch S1 I had *no idea* Willow had been in love with Xander her whole life and that Oz wasn't even a part of the"core"gang...such a shock it was!!😱
We didn't get any spoilers in the meantime? What are you talking about? We got way more spoilers than any first time reactors now do. We were bombarded with previews for the next episode all week long - actual clips with dialogue and spoilers. Not to mention, you could always go online on Buffy forums and find out everything that was going to happen, cause it would get leaked or some it would air first in some other country.
@@spikesecho724 You maybe forget that internet wasn't that accessible at that time.We weren't spending all day online like we do now and to get spoilers from forums you had to _know_ a forum and willingly go there and willingly _search_ for _specific sections_ dedicated to spoilers(and you had to know English most of the times because the spoilers necessarely came from America...I'm Italian and I was a kid when I started to watch"Buffy"..I actually improved my English level heaps *_thanks_* to the"Buffy"DVDs so..no..I _wouldn't_ have been able to look for spoilers,unless I could find the *1* italian website with the spoilers decently translated,IF there was 1!X-P).Nowadays,try to open Twitter or RUclips _without_ getting spoiled on the current trend series...I assure you it's much more difficult!!@.@ Plus..I'm pretty sure the spoilers you are referring to only were about _the next_ episode. The *1* next episode...NOT THE WHOLE BLOODY SEASON WHEN YOU'RE STILL AT EPISODE 2!!!>O
Honestly, they should just do a continuation. Season 7 ended in a way they could've just done a new slayer and Buffy can be untouched
If anything they need to do a prequel about Nikki Wood. a black woman living in New York in the 1970's who struggles to be a single mother by day and a vampire slayer by night.
Also,seeing some Eliza Dushku love in this made me smile. She's my fav. Also,Angel's my preferred show. But I do love Buffy. And seeing a reboot would frickin' suck.
There is no need to reboot Buffy because the original's still there to enjoy for everyone.
Yes. Just avoid HD remaster because it sucks. Better watch fan made version, upscaled by AI tools from original 480p to 1080p 🙂 It preserves original colors, screen ratio, doesn't have weird cropped image. Look for this name: 1080p.DVDRip.AI.Upscaled.10bit.x265-Buffyverse
It ain't broke, don't fix it!! BTVS is perfect, it is so camp and 90's but all the essential parts are timeless!
"Things that could be changed for the better in a modern adaption, the cinematography for the fight scenes is a clear example of this"
What??? Buffy has some of the best fight scenes in all of television. The fight scenes on Buffy are better than most fight scenes on TV today.
Some fight scenes were terrible, but majority was good. In later seasons, when she started learning hybrid combat style, fight scenes quickly became amazing and satisfying
Great video. There’s only ONE buffyverse! No reboot needed ❤
As much as I love Buffy I think the only addition to the franchise I’d accept would be a prequel series that follows Spike & Dru. Mostly cus I’ve recently gotten into the 60s/70s era and I loved the little mentions by Spike in btvs. I would definitely love to see Spike getting high off hippie blood 😂 I would also love to see more of Robin’s mom she had a really cool look. I mean a slayer in a leather trench coat what’s not to love?
Plus since Buffy doesn’t become the slayer until the late 90s that gives us 20 years between Nikki’s death and Spike’s arrival at Sunnyvale for more stories.
My main issue with a new series featuring a Buffy successor is the thought of not having Buffy.
You said Buffy is the 90s. And your right. I've read some of the Buffy comics that Boom Studios put out. It was set more contemporary (in the 2010s) While the stories were okay, there was one glaring thing that I immediately had a problem with. It was Willow's clothes. In BTVS Willow was very reserved when it came to her clothing choices, and this was even mentioned in the season 2 episode Halloween where Willow says, "I don't get wild. Wild on me equals 'spaz.'" Yet in the Boom Studios comic they have Willow showing more skin than she did in the series. When I saw the first panel of Willow in the comic she was wearing a miniskirt and fishnet stockings and I was like really, Willow would never have worn a miniskirt and fishnet stockings.
I'm all for a continuation set twenty years after the end of BTVS. But an out and out reboot would need some major retooling to take it out of that 90s setting. I'm not saying it couldn't be good but it definitely won't be as good as BTVS is.
RE: Bangel - "In so many ways they hinder each other's growth" - YESSSS 👈👏👏
As far as Willow goes, Joss has said that he wanted Willow to be bi in the original series, but the network would barely let him make her gay, and definitely would not let him make her bi. If a new series was doing justice to her character at all, it would remedy the bi-erasure.
Lmao did you not watch the show? She was pretty bi, dude. That doesn't need to get fixed. Was it not steamy enough for youor something? This mentality sounds so like modern hollywood though, constantly trying to fix problems that never existed.
@@jacobrogers2906 Dude fucking stop. I do think she was bi, don't read into my statement something I didn't say. Joss Whedon says she was not and Willow herself says she's gay and frequently denied being attracted to men anymore, going as far as attempting to cast a spell to turn a boy into a girl. When I had discussions in forums at the beginning of the decade about Willow being bi, I was met with vehement arguments stating she was gay and how dare we try to take away from the progressiveness of the show by diluting her gayness with bi-ness, essentially bi-erasure.
Of course I don't need a steamy scene, why on earth would I need that. I need Willow to state, "Bi now!" with the same energy she stated, "Gay now!"
Me reading the Buffy comic reboot and it feels off 😅
The Buffy reboot wouldn't even have an opening sequence 💀
No no, you're completely right!
Stupid Hollywood! Kick out thr rap and leave in the heart
Buffy is so good!!! Alot of people i know watched the whole season. Ive seen it at least 10x I was a teen in the 90's . Its one of my fav shows of the time.
End part of the video Square Enix makes a Buffy game confirmed JK
If they would do something from the buffyverse, it should be a new slayer, new characters, from our timeline.(It can make sense because at the end every potential became a slayer.) So if the older actors would come to visit ( not the vampire ones) it would make sense that they are older.
3 word "Oh hades No !".
I only love the original Buffy it won't be the same just like they did to Charmed they reboot that.
Excatly.
No to a reboot. No to a revival. Yes to stories about a different slayer. I'm totally down for BtVS expanded universe, but Buffy's story is done and doesn't need to be retold, rehashed or regurgitated.
A telltale style game might be a good fit for Buffy.
it's already been confirmed that its a continuation though..the new "black buffy" was scrapped.
There's another Hellmouth in Cleveland. I would continue where season 7 left off and have a team of Slayers watch over the 2nd Hellmouth. If they want to have a guest star here and there I wouldn't be against that.
Buffy is so perfect, it cannot be rebooted. But, it can (and should) be continued.
And no we don’t need everyone to be a gen z tick tock obsessed person
Not perfect, but still very good. It has a depth that dozens of other series can envy.
I'm still a huge fan and actually own the entire series on DVD (yes, I said it - DVD 🤣) We now know Whedon's a butthead but the show was rad for me primarily because of it's cast
The DVDs are better anyway, since the streaming services always show the HD version which Fox did such a bad job on - for example brightening up the screen so much that it looks like vampires are strolling about under the mid-day sun!
@@Itmustbe_bunnies Yes! 👍
I could see Zendaya cast as a new slayer in a spinoff. The term reboot is overused.
A new show inspired by Buffy is the way to go
Continue story with newcharacters. Let Willow be new lead.
Any production company wanting to reboot Buffy has clearly never watched Buffy, and will only be doing it for a lame cage grab, and ANY effort in that direction would be a catastrophic disaster of epic proportions.
The ONLY way something could be done would be to set the show at some point in either the distant future or the distant past, with a completely different slayer who is NOT named “Buffy”.
I would prefer something in the distant future, with some explanation of how the army of slayers was wiped out, some kind of unforeseen side effect of the magic, or a governmental conspiracy, a slayer plague, a mass demon invasion that manages to slaughter them all, who knows?
But a distant past storyline could also be fun, changing slayers and time frames from season to season, a la American Horror Story.
Unfortunately, no one in hollywood has the talent or the soul to craft something anywhere near the quality of writing, or acting, that Buffy and Angel had.
Sooo, no. I agree that there should never be any attempt at a Buffy remake/reboot/revival. At least not in my lifetime, please.
There is one important reason that Buffy can't be rebooted. Because Buffy is flawed, and no one knows how, or even has the desire, to write flawed female characters today. #girlboss
These flaws are what make her human, someone we want to root for. Buffy grown as a character, girl boss can't grow.
Firstly can you make that into an actual song and secondly after seeing zendaya in euphoria, you cant really deny her acting ability. Especially if they use the buffy the vampire slayer comics as a reference and set it in the future with guest appearances from the original cast.
I can think of many successful shows that have had the same issues you've mentioned and proven that people STILL don't care about vampire/human age gaps. We still find socially inept characters amusing even endearing.
There are a number of iconic shows with successful continuations. Star Trek, CSI, NCIS, The Walking Dead. There's definitely writing talent out there. Having said that, I can't think of a way to revamp Buffy. Doesn't mean someone more creative couldn't do it.
I have always wanted a Nikki The Vampire Slayer show if they were to reboot it. It would be cool to have it set in the gritty backdrop of 1970s New York with the Mafia & Vampire worlds being interwoven.
Honestly Hollywood wouldn't know a good script if it bit them in the ass these days, let alone able to find a capable director and writing team and letting them have full autonomy in the creation process it would turn into a cheap imitation of what made the show great. And while it has fantastic messaging and progressive themes throughout it was first and foremost a character driven series, you could watch the entire cast sit on a bench waiting for a bus and it would still be some of the best TV to air.
So I'm happy you highlighted that as one of your first points!
Josh Weedon absolutely knows how to write, he would frequently do re-writes and edits of scripts for episodes to polish them up (how he started in the industry in fact). The problem though is he loves to slide in or undercut dramatic moments with a joke, and they thankfully they usually land in Buffy. However it's been copied so often by franchisees from Marvel that I think its going to just be a cliche if they go that route with the humor.
Personally give me a series in the same universe but with new characters, as much as I loved the original cast I don't think a reboot of the series will do anything but constrain and limit the writers. It should take place after the events of Buffy/Angel which lore wise it also makes a lot of sense after the events in Buffy's last season as the line of slayers has been massively expanded.
This also helps prevent people from comparing the characters/episodes/series directly to Buffy and lets it stand on its own merits.
That said for those wanting for an awesome review of the Angel/Buffy series in a psudo book club format I'd check out the Passion of the Nerd's channel its a brilliant series.
Ok, but is "Rhonda, the Immortal Waitress" a thing? Because I'd watch/read it
Sarah Michelle Gellar fell out of love with the series after season 6 and called it quits after season 7.
Truth is she really wants nothing to do with the show even though she spoke highly of it and this has been the case ever since 2003
She spoke highly of it because there is so much value in it. But one can understand that season six was difficult for her and for James too. Common sense tells us that we can't judge the whole series by what it looked like at the end (sesons 6 and 7). She knows it.
Even if everything had gone her way in the last 2 seasons, I doubt she would have wanted to stay longer. No actor/actress wants to be associated with only one role throughout their entire career. She made a good choice.
I never watched Buffy, but I found out reading the entirety of the Word of Gay page on TV Tropes that Joss Whedon confirmed that both of Buffy's vampire boyfriends had a one night stand with each other! Is this the closest we have to the male equivalent of [spoiler] from The Legend of Korra?
Spike confirms it in Angel season 5 episode 21
I think they should just make a live-action version of the comics.
Yes, filmed over free 📺 no streaming. With dark side Willow. 😄
I already rewrote the wedding in my head and the old demon gets his ass kicked and anya gets her happy marriage to the zander in a pretty lil bow. The viewers are king nobody wanted a break up for them whedon!!!!
Rebooting Buffy could happen. And recontextualizing it for Gen Z would be fun… so long as the commitment to sharp writing and characterization was there, a good show could happen. The real problem is the value shift from streaming platforms. They’re not going to allow lengthy seasons and the time to develop that older shows had.
Bring back original writers. Pretend woke never happened.
Well.... Buffy had filler episodes in every season. First season had 12 episodes in total and at least 4 or even more of them can be skipped during subsequent rewatching. That gives us 8 episodes. You can pack a lot into 8 episodes, but you have to make good use of every minute. So... avoid like fire long slow meaningless walks like in 'Asoka' by Disney :P
I hope there is not a reboot. Buffy is the original masterpiece the foundations if you like and a lot of shows today built on top of it. If anything instead of recreating the show they should carry on with the storyline after the comics and give us a look into the other slayers around the world. It would be wonderful to see some cameos in there from the original cast.
It's so sad that the only way Joss could control strong women is to create them in fiction and then torture them :) I should get my PHD in Psychology :P
For the whole Buffy and Angel relationship thing, they could make it so that Angel wasn't in his twenties when he was turned. I heard that that was what Boom was going for in their first Buffy comic reboot, before it got canceled. Granted, that doesn't fix everything, of course, but it's still better than what the show did, tbh. Like, if Angel was turned when he was a teenager or something, somewhere around Buffy's age, at least he isn't really physically older than she is (or mentally, older if you buy into that vampire lore that a lot of vampire media tries to spout: that a vampire is frozen as the age they were turned, like even mentally and maturity level-wise), even if he's lived two-hundred fifty years or whatever.
Though I still don't think they should reboot Buffy, as you said and many others have. And I don't think they really would. It WOULD probably be a revival. In fact, I think that was the original plan for the new show (though the showrunner's words were confusing. She seemed to go back and forth on them a lot). But now it seems to be entirely off the table, with the Joss Whedon cancelling and the planned showrunner now working on the Percy Jackson show instead (that I AM elated about, don't get me wrong). :( Oh, well. We can just dream about what a show about a new Slayer would be like, perhaps. And at least there are the books by Kendare Blake coming out. "In Every Generation" was pretty good.
I'm also looking forward to what you might have to say about AtS, coming up.
And oh, man! You're the person who made that video about Zack Fair's voice? Amazing! I'm also excited about the Advent Children video that you hinted at, at the end of this video! Keep the cool things coming:)
Thanks for doing this, Jayniac!
There's also the conflation over whether or not this is meant to be a real "reboot" or a sequel series. They seem to be using those terms synonymously... Why? Just why?
If it were a sequel series, I wouldn't mind it all that much, and I'd actually love to see Zendaya in the franchise. But a reboot is completely unworkable for all the reasons you've listed in this video.
ALSO: We _need_ a new Buffy game! I'm thinking of something in the same style as Assasin's Creed, the Arkham Games or the recent Spider-Man ones.
they already rebooted Buffy in the comic books , don't know if it's any good as I cannot find them anywhere
I think they could do a continuation with a similar vibe as Wednesday on Netflix. Bring Alyson Hannigan and Tony Head back to play Willow and Giles teaching a new generation of slayers and witches. Sarah doesn’t have to appear as Buffy at all.
It's pretty interesting but everyone from James Masters,Alyson Hannigan,David Boreanze have stated the ship sailed and have no desire to revisit it.
The fact is, if they reboot buffy, they Will ruin it, make it bad in every single existing way possible, remake everything, change caracters personality and everything that is buffy, like they Always do with reboots, just look at the charmed reboot. Horrible
They should make a small onscreen reunion, maybe 1 - 3 episodes with 45 +/-3 minutes runtime each. A kind of an annual family meeting in the middle of nowhere, no internet, no phone. They should ignore the comics for the most time (have the first two season 8 books and besides the cool sidelines in popculture references and 1on1-talks they are not a plausible continuation of the s7-finale). Since Buffys content is still relevant, there is not so much new stuff to add to fill a whole season. For the aging problem of Spike and Angel: Well, we know at least two ways in universe to turn them back into humans, so if this happend years ago, they could save money for deepfaking them (and since Buffy is more like Sarah for a normal life instead one full of adventures, i expect her ending up with Angel and havin' kids).
I’m sorry you can’t reboot Buffy. Those actors made that show. I’ll take the comics but a reboot I’m not here for.
I agree I have to rewatch this show
The reboot already happened in the comics. Sort of a soft reboot, I don't really dislike it, so I guess for a new generation would be considered good overall. It has a mix of all those ingredients, plus some high fantasy stuff
I 💯 agree! This show would be a pile crap if rebooted. Yes... The romantic relationships were unhealthy to say the least. But I think that was to illustrate how most of us don't know what we're doing as teenagers and young adults. Just fumbling through life, having to learn from our own mistakes and decisions. However, I do appreciate that Buffy was never less than her serious boyfriends. They always had an equal dynamic. Even in strength and intellect. Angel, Riley and Spike... She may have been physically stronger than Riley. Plus he probably treated her the best.
I like Angel too... The spin-off. There was some weirdness I thought unnecessary in the later seasons. But overall I enjoyed it.
Have you watched TPN Buffy guide? 🙂 It explains a lot, especially season 2 arc.
I enjoyed the video, and very much agree with you on the Buffy and Angel relationship - a 240 year old falling in love at first sight with a barely 15 year old girl sucking on a lollipop is a little too Lolita for my taste.
I disagree with you on Drusilla and Spike though - if anything it was Drusilla taking advantage of Spike. I love Drusilla as a character and have so much empathy given what Angel did to her, but Drusilla was the one who sired Spike (which gives her power over him) and she sired him to create a companion, someone to adore her, entertain her, and take care of her when Angel and Darla didn't want to be bothered.
I do think she cares about Spike as much as she is capable of, but she definitely views him as a possession, and is willing to toss him aside whenever anything else captures her attention, be it The Immortal, a Fungus demon, or especially her "Daddy" - Angel/Angelus.
I think you missed why Buffy's recruitment didn't appear until the end of season two. The creators knew they had built an unhealthy relationship. That's why they specifically gave Buffy a lollipop to signal 'Lolita vibes', that they were aware of it.
Either way, I think these flashbacks in the finale of the second season are very weak, and apparently the creators do too, because in the Angel spin-off there was a total retcon of Angel's story.
I think, if they must resurrect the Buffyverse and bring it back on air in some form, it should be another spinoff
What about focusing on a previous slayer from before buffy's time? Or go for that Ripper spin off?
I agree. Any attempt of reboot would spoil the jewell Buffy show is. I can imagine attempt to make a series about Fray - future slayer.
Definitely a revival would be best. Now the question would be what the new main character's journey would be because simply have it a repeat of Buffy's would be a disservice both to BtVS and its revival.
You know revival means sequel right? Reboot means new continuity.
@@giovannigiovanni.7220 I know, don't worry.
But BtVS also has a metaphorical story that adds a layer to the whole series, and I wouldn't want to see a repeat of that journey.
I would love to see a modern spin on the show.
Am I just very high or does Buffy with royalty-free jazz kinda work?
I would like to see a different stake on a new Slayer maybe a 3 season series on streaming or a movie. I even thought about an anime series adaptation possibly 🤔
Honsetly I much rather watch a revival than a reboot of this show
Most modern tv today sucks. Not all of of it, but most. I do not trust modern tv.
I’d love a video game reboot/revival/continuation. The Buffy game for Xbox was the tits, a new series would be epic if done right.
Buffy and Angel’s romance could be rewritten as a platonic relationship evolving into a “will they they/won’t they”pairing in the reboot’s the third season, but then again, it would kill the potential for another Angelus heel turn and that’s something many Buffy fans would ant. The best way to reboot is if they do a 50/50 - keep certain storylines, while mixing them with original ones, so it doesn’t feel like a complete rehash of the show. I don’t see the need for a reboot, I’d very much prefer an animated limited series continuation so we can have Angel and Spike in, without having to deage them into uncanny valley monstrosities, akin to what they did with that weird Jack Lord cameo in the Hawaii 5-0 reboot.
Also, I can definitely see most of the cast agreeing to an animated feature rather than a live action one, for various reasons.

Imma need a whole Buffy rap song. That was fire
I love Zendaya but god don't I want her to be cast in a buffy reboot or revival for that matter. In fact i just don't want any buffy reboot or revival TT
Buffy is my all time favorite show. I watch every Buffy reactor on RUclips but there is no way I would watch a Buffy reboot. Maybe a show about previous slayers before Buffy but anything post original Buffyverse characters would ruin perfection. I don't want to see a "woke" version and we can't pick it up years later with the same characters because of the vampires never aging thing. They should've gone with Ripper as they were talking about years ago. Other than that, I vote no on a reboot.
Best show ever! Even if it’s not perfect, it’s still awesome television.
If you're gonna pick someone like Zendaya. Please create a whole new slayer. Leave Buffy alone
It wasnt just the 90s. Has some older gothic horror themes too. Power corrupts, magic is a dark art and isn't free / nothing is, sex and relationships are special while treating them otherwise is a sign of a pathology, and much more. But that all started to break down in season six and seven. A reboot would probably pick up there and be a different world. A modern... stupid and lame one that wouldn't appeal to me... And probably not other original fans even if they don't articulate why.
Preach brother. For me the series has reached its peak and ended with episode 5x22.
There's no denying that there were some great episodes in seasons 6 and 7, but it wasn't Buffy anymore.
There’s a continuation coming set after buffy did the spell in the original continuity will be about a new slayer it’s being worked on but they put it on hold they don’t know for how long (probably cuz of Covid idk) so there is new buffy stuff coming we just don’t know when Sarah Michelle gellar says she won’t return because Buffy’s story is done but she says if they feel that there are more stories to tell in that universe then they should tell it and that she gives her blessing
monica owusubreen is the showrunner
Just felt like you should know

I'm curious to see how this will tie in with the comics that continued after the show ended.

No you can't reboot Buffy. I'd like to see a series about Nikki Wood.
I would def watch a reboot or revival!
NO REBOOT TO BUFFY. EVER!
The article "Buffy Embattled" (James Christie, Goodreads) might give you a few ideas.
Big Buffy fan! Sadly, a reboot would probably ruin the original much like the Charmed reboot did.
What would be the today equivalent of the bronze: nothing, the bronze is now a 7-11. No third spaces for you!
I’d take Ripper on the BBC.
You lost me when you pronounced her last name ga-LAR.
Back in the 00s, Howard Stern would refer to her as "Gel-LAR" as a gag about her heritage: www.reddit.com/r/howardstern/comments/4q37js/when_did_howard_start_calling_sarah_michelle/
Of course, all traces of this interview have been conveniently covered up by Sirius XM, ever since Sarah asked Howard to pay up on his end of the bet they made about her marriage to Freddie Prinze Jr.
I was making a reference to this obscure fact because I thought it'd be funny.
Inappropriate relationships happen all the time when you fiction. Not just between vampires and humans but also vampires and vampires. Some vampires are thousands of years older than the vampires that they are with. There's no need to change that part.
In Seinfeld nobody really likes Newman but he sticks around because he's their neighbor and I think landlord at one point. And I think they do like Anya just not all the time.
Also Drusilla sired Spike. He fell for her while she was a vampire and she turned him just because she was kind of an invalid doesn't mean he took advantage of her.
Also in the comics and several books they mentioned how the cellular line continues after the show ends.
0:21 That's IF it were to get an actual theme song/opening instead of a generic title card on a black background with a couple music notes or sum....
**glares at almost every CW series**
True!
This is my favorite show, hands down, ever.
That being said. I am for a reboot, but not a BUFFY reboot, a BUFFYVERSE reboot. Buffy should be long dead. Although, spoilers from Fray, she isn't. But change comic canon. Whatever. Point is, I am thirsty for the universe, but I have seen BUFFY's story. There are more stories to tell. Angel was a good example of that :)
Of course we do make it so!!!
Set Buffy in the 1890s, or the 2090s.
I love the idea of going way back in time! 😃
They could do an adaptation of the Fray comics. It's still the Buffyverse but has more to explore with the futuristic twist.
What is they gave us a hex girl style intro?
I'd like to see dove Cameron,lili reinhart or meg Donnelly play Billy later on future revival or reboot if sarah didn't return to her role?
I watched the video for Buffy but I subscribed and hit that like button for Todd and the book of pure evil
One day...I will talk about that show.
My god😢 those 2019 comics. Wasn't like visiting the same characters
What about the life and Times of Juniper Lee? 8:22
Buffy was about it’s time, the culture that is now, and the journey for Buffy to become an independent, strong, emotionally intelligent, and understanding of real love woman. That can never be duplicated. It’s 20 years later and there were hundreds of Slayers awakened. The vile Watchers Council was eliminated , Buffy is 42/43, , new government officials are now in charge…. there’s much for a new story to carry on a modern version but it makes no sense…. None… to start Buffy over.Buffy could be an advisor to Slayers but she was done. Once Dawn was grown , Willow and Giles had found their peace… no more stories.Xander is not a compelling person to be at the center, Angel and Spike more than likely went down fighting, and Sunnydale is a tourist attraction for hikers to visit, like Pompeii.
I know a reboot will be horrible but I'll still watch it because I miss buffy so much
And to your point about writing, omg are you right or are you right with the latest Boom comics being the proof!
