TV: Buffy Reboot.....

[Metroid]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is getting a reboot with a black woman in the lead role

No idea why this is being done. With the buffyverse being so big, why not just have a show with a new slayer come in and kick ass, not re do it with a black Buffy....

oooh, the tweet was doing so well and then it botched the landing by getting Anthony Stewart Head's name wrong.

Also I'm glad this concept seems to have petered out. I get why they tried it (because a familiar name/property sells easier than a property based on something familiar while being distinct and unique), but man they could've and should've just made like a Slayers anthology series where you got like 5-8 episode runs following a different slayer from a different point in history. The only downer would be that almost every story would have to either visually or logically end with them dying because that's how the gimmick works. That'd get to be a huge downer after a while.

Yup.

Actually since this is a revival, rather than a reboot, I'm making a new thread.
