Did Joss Whedon write this new pilot?Then wtf are you bitching about?
I can't figure out if this was scrapped because it was too woke or not woke enough.
sounds plausible.
how bout release the pilot since its already made
>>218615087>>218615258it was scrapped because it's dogshit. the original buffy pilot wasn't great but it at least focused on the main cast and had quips in ithttps://www.scribd.com/document/1012611653/BTVS-NS
>>218614998The pilot was shot in August. If it was going to get picked up, it wouldn't have taken 6 months for Disney to make that decision.
>>218614998cat fighting behind the scenes
>>218614998Noooooooo why
>>218614998fucking hacks, get bent
>>218614998They saw the /tv/ threads
>>218615307Quips are dead in 2026 dumbass
>>218615258yeah, it's the streaming erawhy doesn't netflix et al. release their potential flops to the public and if they get more than >300k unique viewers they get a second chance?a trial by fire of sorts
>>218615682>buffy without quipsyou have killed the entire concept of the series
>>218615307I'm thankful for that. Make it diverse, make it a soapbox for your politics, make it with AI assets, but then, for the love of God, tell a joke
>>218614998Death to reboots. No exceptions.
>>218615819This. So much this.
>>218615688Cause they'd have to pay everyone involved more if they show it compared to just killing it
>>218615944except smiling friends reboot
We all know why it was scrapped. It was multicultural woke slop and the company is probably tired of losing millions of dollars and would rather not risk another massive failure for a fucking vampire comedy show.
it's their own fault for doing all that publicity before anything was picked up for sure
>>218614998Was it too White?
>>218614998An Oscar win used to be a way out from doing reboots and sequels
>>218614998Chloe Zhao is tedious. Big shock a show based around humor and playful subversion helmed by her would be a complete dud
>>218615682Have you not seen any recent MCU project?
>>218615307>I didn’t want to take away youragency, babe>That is so you, trying to weaponizemy feminism against meOh man. Oh brother.I'm sure Chloe Zhao, director of Nomadland and Eternals, is the perfect person to direct this.
>>218618025>Oh man. Oh brother.Oh no!SMG probably never even read the fuckin script. She just wanted her free cameo $$$.
>>218615688feet
>>218614998Why don't they just make a new Angel for women instead? Tap into that monster romance novel market. Would be way easier for women to write and direct it too when its not aimed at demographic they don't understand.
>>218619800They'd have to explain why Angel (and potentially Spike and Illyria) are noticeably older when they shouldn't be aging at all. I personally don't care, but I've heard that's an actual roadblock to doing anything new with the non-human characters before.
>>218619878Just have new younger actors, women don't give a fuck about continuity.
>>218618025That's how a certain type of teenagers talk to each other, nowadays. There are many reasons you might not have heard such things, some of them even flattering.
>>218619800>Angel for women...out of the darkness, comes lightSomehow, I thought a Buffy reboot was always bullshit because we'd have to do High School all over again. But Angel, you can have more adult themes and stories. An entire episode about "Wolfram & Heart" creating OnlyFans to destroy society.Add a dog + some nudity and my Uncle will greenlight that shit.
>>218620240I always thought it couldn't really find a consistency that worked once they left high school. Let's have them in college. Okay, let's have them drop out of college and they all just hang out at home and the magic shop. Alright, let's have Buffy get a job at a fast food restaurant. Forget that, let's go back to the school by having Buffy work there and Dawn be a student.
>>218619923>Restart the David Boreanaz and James Marsters show>Don't bring back David Boreanaz and James MarstersYou're brilliant.
>>218620519All high school shows have those same growing pains and usually collapse under adulthood.One Tree Hill however broke that buck (trend) by simply doing a Time Jump over college for their new seasons. Refreshed the series and brought back huge ratings.
>>218620555You use the Angel license to convince producers to fund it. But instead you just make another Supernatural/Lucifer/Vampire Diaries show for fat women. Easy money.
Rebooting Buffy was a terrible idea. What they should have did was make a adaptation of the old Buffy season 8 comics. It would have gotten easy hype and you have entire volume of content to use instrad of shitty writing. Invincible shows that animated adaptations are popular
>>218620786The entire reason people want to see the characters again is to also see the original cast again? Do you think people want to see NEW actors for Buffy, Willow, Xander, Giles, Angel, Spike, etc.? They'd riot. Maybe for a reboot, but not a continuation of the original show.
>>218615819i got that reference, bro
Just make Aika the Vampire Slayer. She can go around Japan killing dumb hopping vampires and fucking the hot ones.
>>218620786Teen Wolf: Again
>>218621419I'm not really interested in seeing bordering geriatrics either. He's right >>218620815 they should just do an animated show.
>>218622306>Teen Wolf TooSarah actually starred in that! Reboot, spinoff? Idk, didn't watch it. Chicks weren't hot enough.Vampire Diaries. Gossip Girl. Boner Fuel.Ringers on the CW? Put the fries in the bag, lady.
>>218615627Kek. A chuddy made sure that crappy show wouldn't air.
>>218622370jfc she was so pretty
>>218619800>Why don't they just make a new Angel for women instead?women have the same problem as men - they have so much gooner porn targeted straight at their nervous system that they can't focus on gooner tv shows.even the fujoshi gay shows don't get much traction nowadays.
>>218619800Because Angel ripoff wouldn’t interest people.
I feel like True Blood is old enough that they can reboot it.
>>218626277>im a lonely faggot i bet my ~bros~ will want to talk to me
>>218614998Chloe doesn't care since her dad is literally a multi-billionaire with links to the CCP.
>>218619984>That's how a certain type of teenagers talk to each other, nowadays
>>218620815Those were terrible, though.
>>218614998>SMG a true OG in the game knows you ALWAYS try to put over your product even if it is dogshit because you get paid>Ugly Chinese woman buries her product before it was ever made to save facekek
>>218616986>Was it too White?Buffy was already a diverse show back in the 90s considering most of the actors were Jewish. They even made Willow's character an overt Jew saying how she didn't celebrate Christmas, etc. And remember; this was still back in the 90s.
>>218617725Chloe didn't write the pilot script though.https://www.scribd.com/document/1012611653/BTVS-NS
>>218620240Charisma was already a 26-year-old hag when they shot the first episode of Buffy and yet she aged better than any of the other women on the show.
>>218614998Nobody is surprised this shit flopped lmao
>>218615087It wouldn't have gotten that far if it wasn't woke enough, so I'd assume the other one
>>218622370time is brutal
>>218620815That would mean Disney would have to pay royalties to Dark Horse and all the writers and artists of the comics. They won't do that.
It's funny because no one seems to realise/acknowledge that Zhao is a shitty wannabe slop-maker but she lacks the basic talent to do so and her films keep accidentally getting praised by arthouse pseuds who she hates. The Eternals is unironically what she wants to be making.
>>218615944A single reboot movie for a previously TV exclusive thing is fine
>>218614998>The Ready or Not Here I Come 2 Actress>Talking to Variety last night on the Oscars Red Carpet, Academy Award winner Chloe ZhaoThese women clearly have different thresholds of quality.
>>218626273Angel as a concept standalone would work, people love vampires, detective shows and seedy underworlds. Change it from Buffyverse to just "Vampire Detective fights in an undead underworld to do justice" and if you cast it right it's a hit.
>>218615944/thread
>>218634064bump
>>218614998Okay guys i'll come clean, it was actually me who axed the show. [[they]] promised me that the show would star Michelle Trachtenberg, and that as executive producer I could easily molest her backstage. But then the bitch fucking died from drinking too much to cope with getting molested by Whedon in the 90s. So I fucking axed the show. No Trachtenpussy? no show!
