      I'd be here for a show based in the same universe & lore, say for instance around Fray (the comic), but Buffy comes from a very specific moment in media history, especially feminist media history. I'm afraid no matter how talented the folks involved are, it wouldn't live up to it

          I’m curious as to this period where it feels like we keep exhuming old ideas instead of exploring new ones. Is this reboot heavy landscape a response to a scary world where the familiar brings comfort?

          I think that's a generous reading; in regards to the increase in reboots generally -- it feels to me more about exploiting nostalgia for profit -- less risk if it's already beloved by an existing fanbase.

          I agree, and yet almost every reboot (inc buffy) has been met with a lot resistance from the fan base. There’s just a laziness there, an unwillingness to develop new ideas that aren’t “block busters”.

          Until Buffy's reboot was announced, Anita and the likes would often make fun of those fanbases, call them entitled white boys, etc. etc. Now all of a sudden you pretend to care? All of a sudden the "entitled white" StarWars fans are valid? Nobody's buying it.

          I’m going to screenshot this and post it to your wall the next time you whine about people complaining about a reboot that they say doesn’t live up to the original and you screech “it must be because they’re sexist”

          All they have to do is make the entire cast of the reboot black and Anita won't know what to do with herself.

          Slayers have always been female.

          And the Doctor has always been Male, but that didn't stop anyone from making the current doctor (or previous I'm not sure where we're at at this point) female.

          In the comics of Buffy they tried a man Slayer, Billy. Fans hated him and was written out by season 10.

          Same thing can be said of the female doctor. With the exception of being written out

          Its no longer for you. Get over it, you basement dwelling racist woman-baby. Get a life! See how that feels, when a beloved property from your past gets "updated"? Not pleasant when people call you names for expressing concern for a cynical nostalgic exploitation. Think about itpic.twitter.com/AzzZYU56ll

          Omg, is Anita is against black representation in popular culture? Is Anita RACIST?! I mean, this is the same logic she used for people who didn't want Ghostbusters to be rebooted, so clearly she thinks the same. She must be racist according to her own logic!!!
