BuffyIsMyAlways
Mrs. Marsters.
Okay, here's my opinion on it. To me, Buffy and Angel are perfect shows. Buffy was advanced, deep, metaphorical, funny, emotional, dark, and meaningful......I can't think of anymore adjectives that describe it. I just love it. I'm always left wishing there was more of the show I love so much.....but that doesn't mean I want it to happen...I know that doesn't make sense. I want more but I dont?
What I mean is, I'm sad each time I get to Chosen on a rewatch. I'm sad it's over, I wish I could press next episode on Hulu or pop in another disc from my box set. I wish parts of the canonical comics were on screen with the actors we all know and love instead of drawings and speech bubbles.
What I dont want is someone risking ruining the legacy that the show left behind, just because it's the trend nowadays to reboot or remake old shows and movies. The show will never be ruined for me, but throwing something like this into the mix is not what anyone asked for I'm pretty sure.
I have heard a number of different rumors in regard to this new show, and some contradict others. I have heard that the new Slayer/Main character will be black, and I love this idea kits great, whatever it doesn't matter to me what color anyone is. I've heard rwo different stories about this. One was that this is going to be Buffy herself, and I'm not okay with that. Changing every aspect of the already established character is NOT OKAY for me. The other story is that this will be a new Slayer NOT called Buffy. I like that Idea a lot better, and if this is the case, I hope they dont goahesd and call the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Now there are some ways where I will be a little bit more open to the idea of a new show in the Buffyverse:
1. I will be more open to it if it is a brand new Slayer or at least a main Slayer of a certain area (keeping the canon of Buffy activating all of the slayers at the end of the series). This one would have to come after Buffy's time, and I'd hope they'd mention events that happened in Buffy's time and Buffy Summers herself and the legacy she left behind on the way Slayers work. I'd rather not this new show feature any characters from the original show unless the same actors are willing to return to play them. I do not want new actors trying to live up to original actors.
2. In regards to the new main character being black, it made me think of the black Slayer we already know of, Niki Wood. I would love too see a lot more of her back story. She was a struggling single mom in the 1970s all while being the slayer. It's a good plot for a show or limited series at least because we know her fate. There's not much info on other than how exactly she met her fate and who her son grows up to be. I'd like to see it, however the only issue I just realized is that obviously at some point in that story they would need to portray her death. We all know already that she is one of the two slayers that Spike killed. As I mentioned earlier, I am absolutely not okay with anyone else playing any of the characters...ESPECIALLY SPIKE OMG. If they brought James Marsters in, and did some wonders with special effects because he's definitely aged since Buffy, go right ahead. But DONT bring in someone new, AND DONT change how she died. The continuity is not to be toyed with. I already had to deal with that issue with Bates Motel. I had seen the original film multiple times, and fell deeply in love with the show, and was so excited when timeline of the show and the movie finally met up with each other, and they went and changed the storyline on me and I was annoyed to say the least.
If it happens, I just want them to do it justice and not butcher it they way that I've heard they butchered Charmed. I've never seen Charmed but I heard the remake is not good.
I dont think I will ever be fully okay with it, but when the time comes, I will give it a chance. If I hate it, I'll pretend it doesn't exists like I did with half of the comic book storylines LMAO.
Thanks for listening. Please let me know all of your opinions!!
