desperate women are signing petitions to somehow get the pilot picked up by netflix now lolthe pilot script was horrible. if you wanna read it here it is:https://www.scribd.com/document/1012611653/BTVS-NSThere is no buffy without Joss. He "verbally and psychologically abused some actors on set" is the weakest fucking thing to cancel someone but we all know the real reason he is not working in hollywood is because he called out Gal Gadot for her shit acting and accent.
are these desperate women in the room with us now?
>>218604645that cannot possibly be the script, but it's a nice attempt at humor.
>>218604645>He "verbally and psychologically abused some actors on set"I just rewatched The Abyss not that long ago. People almost drowned on that set. Some of the actors legitimately have PTSD from Cameron's bullshit to this day. Worth it.
>>218604815let me write a 59 page script to make a lil joke at fucking 4chan of all places for a thread that will last 1 hr lolits legit.
>>218604978Eiger Sanction. A cameraman fell and died during filming and no one on set even considered scrapping the film.
>>218605052I can hope, can't I?
>>218604645If that's the real script for the pilot then I could tell it was going to be bad by only reading the first page. You can already see how they were trying to immitate Joss Whedon's writing with the dialogue, instead of doing their own thing.
i got two pages in and then i threw up. if it's a joke, good job. if it's real, i hope whoever wrote it is publicly executed.
>>218604645People shit on Wheaton because of his writing style, but it works when he does it. Hack Gen X nepobabies trying to copy Buffy and Firefly are the anus of the industry but Joss was always talented.
I rather dislike the idea of "unseen pilots"You got a bunch of actors together, you spent a couple million dollars, you filmed something, why not let the world have it?The most egregious one I know of is Game of Thrones: Blood Moon. HBO spent $35 million filming that and then locked it next to the Ark of the Covenant, never to be seen by anyone.
>>218604645He was mean to a black man on set. This cannot stand
>>218604645>page 2>boyfriend in a Blade costumeThis means he was 100% going to be black right?
>>218606260tax write-off, you can't release it
>>218604645This is a fanfic, not a script, retard.
>>218606096The show is bigger than one man. The multitude of other writers, directors, actors and crew put their hard work into that show. It’s not all about one guy.
>>218606436True. Honestly I could see them doing more Buffyverse shit without Joss only if they got at least 3-4 of the writers that worked with him at his peak. Jane Espenson, Ben Edlund, Tim Minear, David Greenwalt, David Fury, Marti Noxon, if some of them were involved I would be able to feel at least some hope.Also I think Amy Sherman-Palladino could probably write some good Buffyspeak, although I don't think she's ever worked on a genre series
>>218606436What do you mean "the show"? I'm not talking about a show, I'm talking about his career. He has a consistent style in all his projects that have happened over a 3 decade career which is what I'm talking about. You can even see his style coming out in Alien: Resurrection because he did punch-ups. If we are going to talk about Buffy specifically, he was the creator and showrunner for the entire run which does give him an outsized influence on the project. He also wrote and priduced the movie the show is based on.This is a complete non-statement, what is the point you're making? Yes I am aware he didn't do everything, but the show was a product of his vision.

>>218606260most original pilots you never see anyway. it's kinda like concept you're selling. if it gets picked up there could be rewritings, reshoots, recasts and stuff.like speaking of game of thrones, the pilot for the first series was allegedly quite bad. but we'll never see it
>>218606436>>218606785the greatest episodes of all 3 show's history is done by Whedon. Sure he had some good partners but the new show didnt hire a single one of them. The dude wrote and directed avengers and made marvel what it is today, wrote the part where Woody from toy story dosent realize he is a toy, had uncredited work on major movies like Speed, Waterworld, and Twister and wrote comic books and plots like Astonishing X-Men that introduced the "mutant cure" plot that was later used in bunch of X men movies. His impact is just swept under the rug cuz he fucked yelled at few actresses jfc
>>218604645should've thought about it before cancelling Whedonwithout his writing there is no Buffy it's like star wars without Lucas
>>218606785>I think Amy Sherman-Palladino could probably write some good Buffyspeakplot: Buffy has spent 10 years in isreal to take a break and comes back to sunydale and talks about Krav maga
>>218606096Whedon knew when to NOT make a joke, his copycats can't so the non-stop zingers only ruin your immersion into the story they want to tellif the characters don't care why should I?
>>218604645Jesus Christ...
>>218608293she's in her dark academia phase
>>218605545cameramen are peasants and nobody cares, only the main cast have any power
>>218604645>https://www.scribd.com/document/1012611653/BTVS-NSSome of the dialogue is bad; some ideas are fun but others feel forced. That said I'd guess the quality of the pilot--and I mean the pilot as it was finished, not the script--is almost irrelevant to why it didn't go to series. We may never know, though.
Welcome to being a girl chud.
>>218608805>its a lot
>>218608805edutainment? in my buffy?why did this flop with bob iger i dont get it
>>218608805i don’t wanna be a girl chud tho
>>218606436It's also not really a secret that Whedon became increasingly distracted and busy over the course of Buffy, and a lot of things and people made it as good as it was, but he still had an enormous influence over it from beginning to end. Even scripts he didn't write he would personally punch-up. I'm agnostic on whether or not this show would have been good, but there were a host of reasons to be apprehensive even ignoring Whedon's significance.
>>218609077I just read the script and it honestly felt like a total retread with no new ideas. Even had the same feeling Scooby Gang forming.
>>218608805jesus cancelling the show was a mercy killing
>>218608293>>218608805>acting like this isn't on-par with the early "good" seasons of the original show
>>218604699Just your mom.
>>218609237xander was a protochudhe was there so whedon could bent some of his passive agressiveness supressed by his feminist persona
>>218608805Call me crazy, but the whole US GIRLS HAVE IT BAD myth rings incredibly hollow when the girl saying it has literal super powers.
>>218604645>get the pilot picked up by netflix now lolDisney owns the IP through their acquisition of Fox. Other than the Fox animated sitcoms (who are obviously grandfathered in) when's the last time they sold a show to a competing service?
>>218604645Update: it's officially dead. Someone actually made a smart decision.
>>218609448I mean, it certainly didnt make spidermans life any easier, and hes a man.
>>218606395Yeah this is from the redditor that posts in herpes subs and claims they wrote this all from memory lol
>“No one saw this coming, including the head of Searchlight [Pictures]," she says, noting her new film Ready or Not 2 is a Searchlight production, under the same corporate umbrella as the intended Buffy reboot on the television side.>"And I got the call as we were stepping onto stage for the premiere of their own movie. And it’s also the weekend of Chloé going to the Oscars as a best director nominee for Hamnet. For them to call us on the Friday of what should have been Chloé's victory lap for an incredible film, and my world premiere of something that I worked very hard for is...,” she pauses. “That says something.”>Gellar says it was one person who killed the project. “We had an executive on our show who was not only not a fan of the original, but was proud to constantly remind us that he had never seen the entirety of the series and how it wasn't for him.">"That's very hard when you're taking a property that is as beloved as Buffy, not just to the world, but to me and Chloé. So that tells you the uphill battle that we had been fighting since day one, when your executive is literally proud to tell you that he didn't watch it," says Gellar.You know, I was sure something weird happened behind the scenes, because Buffy is such a popular show and they do reboots all the time, even of crappy movies or TV shows, but I'm so surprised Sarah told us what happened. Just WOW. Some executive is going to be hired by the mouse lol.
>>218611844>No one saw this comingI saw it coming and I don't even work in Hollywood. If you haven't been picked up in half a year, you aren't getting picked up.
>>218604645No thanks. Sarah Michelle Gellar is like 65 and looks like a shriveled up kike witch now. No one wants to see that on their 4K 80" living room TV. Gross. Maybe her and Freddie Prinze Jr have a hot daughter who looks like her who would like to get naked in some bullshit streaming slop, though?
>>218611844that producer's name? a young alfred einstain
>>218611977they should all the daughters of hollywood make a detailed and gripping series of three four hour films docuemntatibg the day by day events that may have occurred on epstien island.just to be an inversion of reality, as usual.
>>218604645>expository crap with 10 billion charactersround foids up into camps
>>218612098It's a very short list, so soon we will know who did it. I think Hulu have like 5 or 6 high executives.
>>218604645Baffy the Vampyr Slay
>>218604645>unalived>you in danger, girlgod that's shit
>>218611844this is giving me Blake Lively vibes. Like isnt Buffy Joss' IP? feels like they were trying to do it behind his back and did a terrible pilot and it got scrapped but now they are trying to blame 1 dude
>>218614290That's my impression of it. Sarah wanted nothing to do with Buffy and never spoke of Joss, then all of a sudden a couple years ago she's co-signing all the complaints about him even though she's on record as complaining he was around enough in the latter part of the show. >disassociate Joss from his work>create your own version>profitAt least that was the plan.
>>218605052I’m pretty sure someone could write that with AI in a couple of hours. I’m not saying you did, but it could be a fake someone else made.
A revival without half of the cast and sara looking like a corpse.This was gona be garbage.
>>218617632Woke garbage.
>>218607567>10 years in isreal to take a breakBut that place is full of vampires and demons
>Somehow the Hellmouth has returnedJust let sleeping dogs lie
>>218604645put a ton of nude boobs in it and we'll see
>>218619161I think the premise could work without the hellmouth stuff. Just have a new slayer be called in some town in the NE or something. Why jump through all the narrative hoops to try to bring back Sunnydale? Hellmouths have to come from somewhere. Have some ancient demon create a new one.
>>218605545There was that Resident Evil film like only a decade ago where a stunt woman got seriously fucked-up and even had her face "degloved" after colliding with the camera crane equipment while riding a motorcycle at high speed and they didn't scrap that film either.
>>218606096It's like how in the late 90s there were lots of people trying to rip-off Tarantino's style. But cramming your script full of pop-culture references et cetera is not as easy as it seems.
>>218604978>verbally and psychologically abusedNo examples of this were ever given, btw. He's guilty of expecting people to show up and do their jobs.
>>218604645Joss won't come back because the internet (jeets) hate him for ruining the Justice League or whateverI 100% believe that's the only reason
>>218606436But Joss was showrunner for like the first five seasons, plus he had written the screenplay for the original 1992 film as well. It's no coincidence that pretty much all the best episodes of Buffy were written AND directed by Joss too.
>>218620878Joss was burned out on Buffy, anon. 144 eps plus Angel. Numerous writers like Espenson have said virtually everything you saw on screen was from Joss. He has nothing left to say about the character, which is understandable. There's really nothing left to say. Stories have beginnings and endings. It's time to let it end.
>>218620730Wasn't it said in the original show that there are actually Hellmouths everywhere? I seem to remember Giles saying there was one in Cincinnati or something.
>>218621087yeah, i remember listening to espenson on a firefly commentary track and she basically admitted joss wrote all the good lines in her episode.the funny part about his cancelling is that none of the real reasons mattered. the reason he got cancelled was because he forced a black man to say "booyah" because it was cyborg's catchphrase written in the script and that was racist. everything else was just attention seekers looking to grab some spotlight by piling on but no one cared about their reasons, it was done when the black guy said he was racist.
I clapped when I recognized the thing!
>>218620878dc incels and indians have no motion. Gal and her clan literally controls media on the other hand
>>218623180And this anon, ladies and gentlemen, is the Shill defending this shit pilot in every thread. Is he a gay Jew or gay Indian obsessed with blacked porn? None can say.
>>218624266>shit pilotApparently they rewrote it after the draft everyone has read to make it longer, include more Buffy and be more adult.
>>218624579>make the teen melodrama more adultlol ok
>>218604645Even for AI that is bad. I feel better it is canceled now.
>>218624761Probably add more swearing and violence, I suppose.
>>218624761>>218625315Shit sounds like the making of Cleaver, desu.
>>218604645oh btw, hilarious how this script has two dumb blondes getting killed by vampires in it. completely missing the point
>>218625537Because no dumb blondes died in the original show?
>>218626492the entire premise of the show is subverting that trope you fucking moron
>>218626524And yet numerous dumb blondes are killed.
I read the script and know why they pulled it.They mention that God is real. (((They))) don't want any mentions affirming God in (((their))) propaganda. Letting people know God is real would be against every single aspect of subversion they have put in our modern secular world.
