Did he kick it? I don't recall. In my head he was in that final shot of angel against overwhelming odds but guess not.

He died just before they scene.
Charles gunn was mortally wounded in that scene too.

HBO already did a Buffy reboot with lots of fucking in it. It was called True Blood.

This means future plot to me. Either post-apocalyptic or far future/cyber vampires:

I prefer the first for TV, but both would make for fun video game concepts.

Hopefully this leads to more Buffy video games, the last ones were pretty good.

Use Kristy Swanson cowards.

wtf i didn't know buffy was a thing before sarah michelle gellar.

 

[N0S]

I had a crush on Buffy lol

 

[TGO]

Hopefully this will prompt them to do a proper HD release of series.

 

[TGO]

I had a crush on Buffy lol

Early Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) was cute

She got skinny and that ruined her in the later seasons.

Well Josh wheedon hated that version. And it has Paul Rubens in it. I thought it was pretty good.

Charisma Carpenter was so freaking attractive back in the day. I dare not see what she looks like in 2025.

Oh, she still got it. She's had work done, but still looks like her, not a woman that kinda looks like CC.

 

[xrnzaaas]

The majority of the teenage cast was hot, even Willow in her nerdy way. And Cordelia got even hotter when she switched to Angel.

 

[CastorSoze]

I remember seeing Charisma in the Asylum version of Fifty Shades, called Bound. Couldn't tell you what the plot was though.

I assume the canonical Season 8 and 9 comics won't be canon anymore.

Correct...

she looked better in the later seasons.

She was constantly training when Giles took her on.

 

[TGO]

As I was saying
Buffy was cute in the early season

Then in the later seasons

She looked tired due to training with Giles as bitbydeath so eloquently put it..

Seeing Buffy in the unnecessary Dexter prequel was a nice surprise

 

[Pegasus Actual]

Vampires you better run or she gon' give ya a Werther's Original laced with garlic

 

[bitbydeath]

Do you think Willow’s spell only worked on the potential slayers who were alive at the time?

If they’re all ageing and no new slayers are being activated at birth it could make for an interesting concept.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

This is an absolutely terrible idea, can't wait to see how bad a Woke Buffy series can be

 

[TGO]

Oh, she still got it. She's had work done, but still looks like her, not a woman that kinda looks like CC.

Funnily enough she is exactly like her character, I don't think she was acting.

Two days ago, she's either had work done, lost weight or that's not a flattering photo.

 

[Toots]

A requel

fully shot on location in Cardiff and Swansea, making it a requel welsh

 

[Audiophile]

Hopefully this gives them the incentive to properly remaster the original show. The Buffy HD Master is a crime against humanity.

 

[GymWolf]

She had a full nude scene in the movie bound if you are curious, but it was like 10 years ago

 

[John Bilbo]

 

[Idleyes]

Buffy was one of those shows I wasn't watching for the storyline. Like I didn't watch Denise Austin so I can perform aerobic and toning exercises.

 

[DarkArterialGore]

They should just go and cast a Sydney Sweeney "Tit-Monster" type and put her in a cheerleader outfit and make it a fun lighthearted show, it's hardly rocket science

 

[jason10mm]

Playboy as well.

She always had a kind of artificial quality to her. Basically a manufactured looking Shannon Elizabeth (though I think Charisma came first so maybe Shannon is just a lusher version of Charisma

Thats what the OG film really was. Sweeney would be PERFECT for that role, basically lampooning 'girl boss' characters of the past 20 years.

Get Nic Cage to play the Rutger Hauer bad vampire, Jack Black as the servile Paul Reubens role, and since they seem to be in everything, make roles for Awkwafina and Common as well

 

[Valonquar]

At least they killed Spike in the finale so we don't have to deal with that hot mess.

 

[Caldain]

He came back in the last season of Angel so there's a chance you may see him...

 

[drganon]

Whedon might be a scumbag, but he's the only one who could make that style of quippy dialogue work and not seem completely cringe.

I'll keep my expectations in check for this reboot.

 

[NickFire]

Weird to call it a reboot if its a sequel. I'll still check it out when it launches though.

 

[GloveSlap]

Buffy is pretty much my favorite show, but i don't want this. What was once fresh has been imitated poorly and driven into the ground in the decades since.

Even the OG Buffy peaked in season 3 and dropped off hard in the last 2 seasons. Plus, you need Whedon. Even back then you could see the quality of Buffy drop when he was focused on Angel and the drop in both when he was focused on Firefly.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

[Branded]

This will fail horribly.

There's just something about 90's/early 00's TV shows that you cannot replicate any more. You cannot view them without the context of the period: the angsty, edgy, campy, nihilistic but also hopeful time of that era was the perfect recipe for a lot of these shows. Even the way it looks is something completely unique. Not that TV doesn't look good these days but in the case of Buffy or Angel for example you had the perfect blend of 'cheap' while still having a cinematic touch. It's hard to put a finger (or difficult for me to put into words I guess) but all of this is to say that I don't see why you'd need a new Buffy in 2025 or beyond. Regardless the best intentions of people involved.

 

[GymWolf]

Az nude maybe?!

 

[Londo]

I expect a cast for pilot Willow in a major role because inclusion and shit

 

[Pegasus Actual]

HBO already did a Buffy reboot with lots of fucking in it. It was called True Blood.

The problem with True Blood:

 

[jason10mm]

The problem with True Blood:

Nah, she was priiiiiiiiiiiime on that show. I feel like it ran 2 seasons too long but damn the casting was on point for those early years. Back when HBO cares about the cishet viewer.

[daffyduck]

I guess Willow's a pilot now? Does she drive a 'bus or a Boeing?

 

[CastorSoze]

Well I know she doesn't drive stick.

 

[Valonquar]

The problem with True Blood:

I mean, I'm not even gay and Vampire Eric was looking good.

 

[bitbydeath]

Joss’s humour must have rubbed off on her.

 

[Londo]

Nope, they did a pilot for the show with a different actress for Willow, which was not confirmed when the show was picked up.
