@mixusup That could be a way, but then it might become something like "School for Slayers" and be a bit like the last season of Buffy or even more focused on the young ones and I, personally, would prefer not. If they are going to do Buffy, let it be Buffy.
agreed, although I think I would enjoy a bluff premiere with the series starting with the point of view from a teenage girl......and then BAM 15 minutes in we see SMG and cue title credits.
I'm honestly tired of 'passing the torch to the new generation' troupes in media. You have to be at least 65 to retire. 40-something is still young. The Witcher is a white haired grandpa 88 years old. Every human on earth is getting older. Teens will never be interested in their parents' vintage reboot shows (maybe the originals). Just let characters age with the world and let the younger generations enjoy their own new stories. Really they age it down because Hollywood prefers pretty little college age actors to appeal to creeps.
@@ZebraLuv Reboots can work, but something like Buffy or other teen-oriented shows only really works if it's a totally new cast of characters in the future of that particular setting. I'd love to see a future Buffy who's grown up and maybe has a different perspective on her past now. Imagine what she'd say about her choice to date two different vampires in high school and college. But conversely, as an adult, I'd have zero interest in watching a teen-oriented reboot, even with a whole new group of characters attending a remodeled or rebuilt Sunnydale High. Kids and teens would probably enjoy it, because a new cast and a modern setting with continuity from the past (as opposed to trying to reboot and thereby erase the past and anything problematic that it contained) would give it a lot of depth and interest.
I'm super excited to hear this! Buffy is still one of my favorite shows to this day, and I'd absolutely love to see SMG back as Buffy. Plus we need more women that are over 30 as main characters. Not every female lead needs to be 16-20 years old, ya know?
Wonder if she's going to pull a Kristen Bell? Kristen wanted a "Veronica Mars" followup. Studio told her "come up with a million bucks". She put up a Kickstarter or GoFundme or whatever (I forget which platform) and 24 hours later she had _2_ million.
As someone who loves that series about the same level of crazy as you do, here's my one counter to that news. Joss Whedon would get paid, and we need to do things that don't get him paid anymore now that we know what level of monster he was.
yeah, but.....Eliza Dushku has quit acting and James Marsters has talked about returning as Spike and is more excited about the prospect of voicing an animated character then returning in live action (because he doesn't think de aging will go over well). I definitely don't want Angel and Spike recast, I also don't want them to brought back for only for one episode fan service, I want a good plot. I'm not a fan of of how the Angel series ended, however it did end with the set up that the 2 vampires COULD become human again....the writers could give us a storyline with out having to rely on consistent de-aging and CGI.
@@ThatSunshineGal yup, I believe she's about to or has gotten her masters degree!!! I feel confident that IF production can get her to sign on she will only do so under hefty assurances of a healthy work environment and the lure of a good script. She's out of the business, she's doing well and has made it clear she won't settle for anymore mistreatment on set. I would love to see her mentoring mentally unstable slayerettes, combining her Faith role with knowledge from her new career, but don't expect it to happen.
I'd prefer justice for Cordelia/Charisma Carpenter, since she had to put up with harassment at work from Joss up to and including him calling her fat on set - WHEN SHE WAS PREGNANT. He'd better not come near this project.
The comments here are deranged. 47 years does not make someone a senior citizen people. One day, God willing, you will find mid-life and realize you're not old yet.
The only issue would be the physical stunt work. SMG finally decided to call it a day on Buffy because the action sequences were taking too much of a physical toll, she was 20 when playing the 16 year old Buffy and by the time she was 26 it was getting too much.
They've been trying for literally ever, and can't get the rights. Nathan Fillion even had a social media campaign to raise money and put pressure on the execs, and nothing.
@@pvp6077 Who are they trying to buy from, Disney? Cos yeah, no, Disney will NEVER sell rights to ANYTHING, including properties they have absolutely no intention of ever using (or even releasing, they tried to tank Nimona, because they're a homophobic profiteering garbage fire). There'd be a LOT to make up for, but there are a lot of fans who are now writers and could upgrade the universe Joss sloppily threw together.
Obviously the show has been smeared by Whedon's actions, but a lot of really talented people worked behind the scenes. Put Jane Espenson in charge and go with it...
YES, a plan! This is good! I don't like Buffy myself but this is a responsible way to move forward. And they should have smart enough writers to be able to weave in some elements of his bullshittery into storylines so that Buffy, the shower, can distinguish itself from Joss by making it clear what they value.
Sounds like a good idea to me. Bonus points if David Boreanaz returns as Angel too🥰 (Maybe a little more difficult as vampires are immortal and he doesn't look 30 anymore🤔)
Only if they keep the old 'monster of the week' episode format and don't push any of the modern stereotypes and tropes that ruin nostalgic properties. I'd love to see a full-grown adult Buffy with a family dealing with the supernatural threats while trying not to lose her job. The only 'new' things I would hesitantly agree to is her training one or more of the new generation's Slayers if they are in nothing more than sidekick position, (spin-off for a new Slayer series can be done if this works out well) and enemies that use modern tech in interesting manners, so long as it is competently done. They already did some of the best uses of tech with monsters in the original series, so they'll have to work hard to top Moloch and his computer body and the excellent episode with the bazooka.
As MUCH as i would LOVE this, im not sure how itd work. Maybe a Ghostbusters afterlife kinda deal where its Buffys daughter and new young cast, but with lots of appearances from the OGs
my predictions: 1) Xander is killed off by episode 2, maybe previously to episode 1. 2) Kennedy is brought back, and that irritates a lot of fans 3) I'll be unhappy if they don't bring back Emma Caufield....but angry if they demean Anya's death (not a prediction, just how I feel) 4) Andrew is still around and thriving 5) Either Dawn or Willow have a kid (named Alex or Joyce) 6) At least one episode or plot involving an Initiative like group, not necessarily with Riley but a government funded military group that kinda butts heads with the Slayerettes. 7)Daisy Head gets cast as a villain 8)Giles is killed off mid to late season by season 3 9) IF either Spike or Angel are brought back 1 or both will be mortal 10) either Pedro Pascal or the actor who played Knox will have a role at some point. 11) Faith and Robin will be referenced, but Faith won't be on screen....although I'd love it if the directors could convince Eliza Dushku to do some scenes where she's helping mentor an emotionally unstable slayerette. 12) there will be a robot. Probably AI, but at the absolute very least someone will kill a 'scary' roomba.
I just saw her in the new Dexter Prequel. I'm not a big fan of reheating stuff like that over and over (i.e., "Young Sheldon"), but it was awesome seeing her in something again. I hope it gets better than the first episode? 😂
Thanks for being a real one, Rob. Because EXACTLY. Until he releases a public letter of apology to Charisma Carpenter and every single cast and crew member on Buffy, not to mention Firefly and Dollhouse, that little toad is persona non grata.
It seems unlikely that SMG would be willing to work with him again, given what's been said of her efforts to avoid him while working for him previously (iirc)
Given how it ended (and ignoring the comics) she _could_ They'd have to either recast Xander or have him killed off (the actor isn't... yeah) And not sure what they'd do about spike and angel But man, it'd be _awesome_ amirite?!
I guess it makes sense because she did come back for the angel spin off but didn't something like the apocalypse happen at the end of that show and didn't she die I can't remember it's been so long
How do you just woke up looking like that good? Im a mess looking like a beeing hit by a train. And on topic nowadays reboots are not good. Just let me life with the memory of buffy and angel.
This is a Monkey’s Paw wish. 7 years ago this week, I watched my childhood hero “Updated for a Modern Audience” into a bitter, broken shell of a man by a work that actively disdained the concept of courage. I would not wish this desecration on you.
Oh, dear God, please no. That series became a pile of stinking garbage around Season 6, and Season 7 was even worse. I don't even know HOW you could pick up after that ending.
🤷♀️ eh, I can't muster any feelings about this. I barely remember the show but it was fun. Most writing in modern movies/remakes is such low quality it just saddens me...
Oh babe, if that's how you feel, don't rewatch. Because the script isn't good, and it may make you hate more modern media further. The rose coloured glasses of memory are doing a lot of work here.
![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
I saw this too! I don't know how I feel. But much better SMG as an older Buffy than another "new" reboot starting again with a teenager.
Aren't there like a bunch of layers now? She could deffo be like a trainer for the new slayers.

Whaaaat? I didn't know that. I'm glad she did bc it was so good and we got closure on a lot of things.
And a fun movie

This 💯
This is the only sort of news I will be accepting in 2025. More Buffy please! Bring on the SMG and Buffy!
The De-aging CGI for James Masters and David Boreanaz better be top notch.
And will they finally do justice for the Faith character?
yeah, but.....Eliza Dushku has quit acting and James Marsters has talked about returning as Spike and is more excited about the prospect of voicing an animated character then returning in live action (because he doesn't think de aging will go over well).

No matter what age you get to, you never feel like you're old even when your body is falling apart.
I'm 69 and a middle aged Vampire Slayer could be an interesting concept
@@PC4USE1I mean, technically Angel slayed some vampires and was wayyy older.
The only issue would be the physical stunt work.
SMG finally decided to call it a day on Buffy because the action sequences were taking too much of a physical toll, she was 20 when playing the 16 year old Buffy and by the time she was 26 it was getting too much.
Still her children are older than Seth Myers children....
Yup…I think Maggie just nailed how all us older millennials are feeling about that one.
BRING BACK WILLOW AND TARA! and do it right this time. My teenage gay heart needs to heal.
My long past teenaged straight heart agrees.
I hope Joss Whedon won't be involved anymore. Other than that, go for it. A good writer can continue basically everything.
I cannot imagine he would be, but
name a showrunner today who could produce anything half as good as “Hush”.
Ooh ooh, me! I volunteer! I want to write some episodes!!
The epitome of "male feminist". Too bad I like his shows. Same with Graham Linehan - great shows, absolutely terrible person.
I can't wait for the remake I hope Allison and Seth come back too
And Spike ❤
And David
@laurawilson9235 but angel had left before the end of buffy
No Seth unless he can be as stoic as before.
@@lindajallen3805 He still made the occasional cameo for a while after leaving Buffy since his show was in the same universe.
Yes please! Your reaction is priceless lol!! 🤣🤣
Omg girl my childhood just got tingles!! This will make all the helish pain worth it. Please Santa please 🙏!!❤😂
Priceless reaction 😂😂😂
Omg! If true, this is MAKING my Christmas! ❤🎉
I'd rather a return of firefly.
That just thrilled me
1,000 times yes.

On a technical note: how many takes did you take of that fall?
Asking for a friend, a man of culture, and a shy wardrobe magician.
I Don't want to be the Bitter Apple in the Room BUT will Joss Whedan
I doubt SMG will do anything if Whedon is also on the project.
I can see her as a mother to an up-and-coming Slayer.
Obviously the show has been smeared by Whedon's actions, but a lot of really talented people worked behind the scenes. Put Jane Espenson in charge and go with it...

If it's outside of a High School setting, I'll watch it 🤷🏻♂️ I can't return to those days, even in media. Too much baggage involved, ya know?
Proper response!!
As long as they don't inflict that whiny Dawn charater on me ever again; I still have serious nightmares about her!
It better be all the original actors, or I'm rioting
I'm calling it, Xander is killed off by episode 2.
Maybe they replace Buffy and Willow with a pair of black dudes to bring a new spin to the series? :P
Only if they keep the old 'monster of the week' episode format and don't push any of the modern stereotypes and tropes that ruin nostalgic properties.

I'M HERE FOR BUFFY!
With your tousled hair and humor that shows intelligence you big sweetie but you know Kirstens still my favorite.
Only if Joss Whedon stays out of it.
Can we get Buffy+Charmed+Supernatural to take place in one show. Please?
This made me so happy!
Much as I'd really love me some more Buffy......the baggage accompanying would be quite a hurdle to overcome. Just saying 🤔😬
I'm here for it. Soon my favorite show of all time
As MUCH as i would LOVE this, im not sure how itd work. Maybe a Ghostbusters afterlife kinda deal where its Buffys daughter and new young cast, but with lots of appearances from the OGs
Oh please please please!!! 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻
