we move
I couldn't watch it in case it's awful, or if it's great
Buffy been and gone

They're making the (shit) film into a series rather than remaking the series. Have I understood that right? Whedon has wanted to put that right for a long time afaik
I thought the series picked up where the film finished. I have no idea, I've never seen itWasn’t the original Buffy the series of the shit film though?
It does exactly that. Buffy has had to move schools because of the events of the first film.I thought the series picked up where the film finished. I have no idea, I've never seen it

If I'd seen the film first, there's no way I would have watched the series.I saw the film at some point in my teens, having grown up watching the TV series with no idea that there even was a film or how it related to the series.
It was awful
Not sure how I feel about a new series.
I wasn’t exactly excited by the prospect but you have to remember that there was shit-all on telly at the time and even less aimed at my demographic.If I'd seen the film first, there's no way I would have watched the series.
Is right.Buffy: TNG would be a better idea, scope for a new story and some cameos.
Rebooting is just pointless.

More interested in Whedon's just announced series with HBO The Nevers, be interested to see what he does with no network restrictions or studio edicts - Joss Whedon Sci-Fi Drama Ordered Straight to Series at HBO
Except future slayers are every potential (every girl who might be a slayer will be etc), and we all remember how appalling potentials are. I like the idea of past slayers with lots of sexy Spike cameos
The next generation has tonnes of slayers at once. You can do that series but it wouldn’t be “the vampire slayer”
You could though. Someone - Giles or grown-up Willow or someone new - does some magic to revert the slayer power back to one person, or possibly a group of people. They do this because they've seen the havoc the hundreds of slayers thing causes (this is somewhat addressed in the couple of "season whatever" graphic novels I've read).
It would certainly work a lot better than an actual reboot.
Opening voiceover "A wizard did it". Or play into it with the first big bad who has wiped out all the other potentials leaving just one who has been hidden from the world by her hyper protective dad who named her after a girl he once knew. When they're discovered he's sliced up and she's sent to live with her estranged mother/ adoptive parents and has to deal with being a slayer and being thrown into a load of mean girls shit she isn't prepared for. No need for a full fucking reboot.
Not against all remakes,some can outdo the original - BSG, for example but Buffy is a hard one to top...
It’s a sequel rather than a remake, which could be pretty cool and leaves the door open for original characters to return.
It looks like the Buffy revival will focus on a new Slayer
Reboot is just the catch-all marketing term now for selling something old as new again.It would be nice if they'd directly say it's not a reboot, though. I'd happily give a sequel a try.
