    I loved Buffy. But you know what else I love? When Hollywood looks at new stories by people of color instead of rebooting old ones and changing the casting.

        True. But having a black slayer as a protagonist (Kendra was only in 2 eps) could add to the Buffyverse mythology in important ways. Slayers are super heroes. Some of them are black. Why can't there be great stories about them? Just don't tell the same Buffy story & we're good.

        Adding to the mythology is fine. Yes to seeing a black slayer. But I'm also here for television to look beyond these stories and at properties that are being written by people of color. New mythologies created by people of color for television.

        Whats your issue? That it's a reboot? That it makes changes? I really don't understand the problem. Quite a few people haven't watched the original Buffy, so to them, the story will be new. They may even do new things for fans of the original.

        Her problem is that it's made by a white guy instead of a person of color.
