Zeus 07/20/18 8:06:08 PM #3:	20th Century Fox Television is reportedly developing the new take on Buffy, which will center on a younger version of the titular character portrayed by Sarah Michelle-Gellar on the 97 series, now played by a black actor. Casting has not been set for the Buffy reboot. It will reportedly feature a richly diverse cast, and like the original series, boast metaphors for issue facing society today. Yeah, I can't see this ending well. Granted, since the Buffy franchise is way too damn young for a remake, I guess they'd have to go with something different. Maybe we can get a buff Buffy this time... although we all know that Whedon has a fetish for petite, tiny women. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:905441686] in A Buffy th...

A younger version? Buffy was a 15 year old sophomore in the first season of the original series. She graduated high school at the end of season 3 and then went to college in season 4. Why would you want to go younger than that? Does anyone really want to see a Slayer in elementary school? Also, why recast her as black? The original series already had a black Slayer with Kendra who was introduced in season 2. So the original series already did have a diverse cast. I can't imagine this Buffy remake will actually happen once Disney's purchase of Fox is finalized. Disney isn't dumb enough to do shit like this. <cite>rogerskg1979 posted [p:905443465] in A Buffy th...

Oh boy a reboot of a popular thing Those always end up being good I would have said something similar, but the first Buffy TV show was itself essentially a remake of something else (the original movie). So I'm kind of hesitant to automatically call bullshit on it. That being said, I'll probably avoid it like the plague, because I assume it's going to pander to modern youth culture, which I loathe because I was only barely in the right youth culture demographic the LAST time around, and everyone born after me is terrible.

Probably a phrasing issue where they meant she'd be younger than she was at the end of the series... although a pre-teen Buffy would be lulz. rogerskg1979 posted... Also, why recast her as black? Controversy creates cash? Otherwise it's to keep the show from being too close to the original. Charmed was also supposed to reboot with an all-black cast. Granted, it's a lazy way to differentiate a reboot from the original. ParanoidObsessive posted... Mead posted...

Not really the same thing, though, since it was a different medium (film vs tv) and the film had copious amounts of executive meddling so the creator (who iirc wanted it to be a show all along) pitched it as a show. He already had his creative vision realized at this point and, to some extent, it's still kinda continuing since he was doing comics. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:905444807] in A Buffy th...
