Alex Meyers the one thing that always got me in the feels with this show was when Sarah Michelle Gellar would cry as the character Buffy! It would just break me down knowing that even though this is just a supernatural fiction tv show, everything she did as BUFFY felt so real! Even when she cried for the most saddest moments in buffy! We saw humanity and it broke walls! I really can't see another actress do that as Sarah Michelle Gellar she is one of a kind! And i hope in the future provided that this new series of BUFFY REBOOT is a success, that Sarah will make an appearance giving her support and passing the mantle in hope to salute the BUFFYVERSE into a new direction for many years to come! And also again i hope they choose Vanessa Morgan she would be the perfect choice and she would really carry out the show through the way we all could enjoy it once again! Vanessa Morgan would be perfect for the new role of BUFFY the vampire slayer REBOOT series because a lot of times executives producers want to choose certain actors who have a huge following already Vanessa Morgan is known for RIVERDALE and The Shannara Chronicles Degrassi the Canadian show called The Latest Buzz, My baby sitters a Vampire, Finding Carter! And if the executive see's this her track record they would feel more inclined to go with someone in this generation who has already done many roles that give the executive enough free space to build upon the nostalgia to lure more BUFFYVERSE fans and new ones they can get from this generation through Vanessa Morgan's following! And Vanessa Morgan is smoking hot! It's going to be fine if they can find an actresses that has such a good track! Take care!

I agree it's weird and I don't understand how the dynamics of a relationship like that can be healthy. I mean even if she were 18 it would still be weird and predatory for the same reasons you described imo I don't think her being one year older would make her anymore prepared or Angel anymore ethical. Also Vampires stop aging so even though he might have 240 years of life experience his cognitive capacity is probably stuck at the same age he turned.

Maya Lackman Sam and Dean actually have more experience with the same shit Buffy fights Where she started in high school, they started in when Sam was still in diapers and Dean was about to start first grade They had formal training in hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, and studied occult lore Buffy was pretty much chosen to be a Slayer and I felt that she didn't exactly "earn" her title as it was just given to her Sam was chosen too, but for a much darker, and much more deranged reason Now I've been following these two for a long time, a problem comes up, they try to figure out what the Hell it is, and how to kill it BAM Problem solved in two episodes or less Unless it's an overarching plot, that spans a season or three, but it's meant to be that way Heaven hates them Hell can't contain them

@@axelwulf6220 I've watched all of Buffy, and 13 seasons of Supernatural. Buffy earned her title. She was chosen, yes. But then she was chosen because she was the best out of every girl in the whole world. It's not like just a random girl was chosen. How many hundreds of millions of eligible girls were there that could have been chosen? Only the best was. Get that through your head. Buffy was the best out of hundreds of millions of candidates. Sam and Dean have more experience? Well, yes they do. However Buffy has the memories (albeit unconscious) of every Slayer who has ever lived. This isn't a direct equivalent to experience, but it is equally as useful. Also, experience is useful but it isn't the end all. Buffy has formal training in hand to hand combat, and studied occult lore under Rupert Giles. In her world guns are pretty piss pore against monsters anyway, but I guarantee you if she picked one up she would be an expert because she is the slayer. Sam was chosen for a much darker, more deranged reason. You're right about that. But how is that remotely relevant to his skill/power as a warrior? And if we're talking about what makes for a good show, that depends on personal taste. Personally, I can't stand stories where the main character is chosen for a dark/deranged reason. I love stories where the main character is a paragon of virtue and chosen for a holy mission. Buffy is both of those things. But that is just taste. Sam and Dean has zero experience with the shit Buffy fights. Buffy has zero experience with the shit Sam and Dean fight. At the end of the day there is little to no overlap in the settings, characters, monsters, or shows. They are simply to different to determine which character is more effective. Now, if we are talking about a straight up fight, I'll let my Mom answer this one. She is a big fan of buffy and a bigger fan of Supernatural. She says Buffy and Dean are neck and neck, but Buffy would definitely beat Sam.

As the seasons moved along... The show got better because the writers added depth to characters Xander, Willow, Giles, Cordelia and later Angel and Spike (w/drucilla). It was the show to watch in the 90's. Mixed typical teen problems and being the "chosen one".... If you watched every episode, you'd get the corniness and quips in the show. It's part of the charm.

What's great about the show is that as time went on and characters grew up it transitioned from typical teen dramas to 'typical' real world problems along with the chosen one stuff. It had a balance, and i think it tackled issues like grief, depression and addiction really well too.

Spike is one of if not my favourite character. The metaphors, the character arcs, the tragedy, how you see how and why everything that happens matters is why I love it so much. Also it influenced so many of todays shows, like the whole big bad thing was all Buffy. It’s not one of those shows where a thing happens then is solved in the next episode. Like the season 2 finale for example, it’s a permanent thing and Buffy and those around her have to deal with it. Even when it’s resolved it isn’t really cause now there’s this huge conflict that we see consume both Angel and Buffy. And is still brought up in later seasons in the series as well as in Angel. Also the way it’s resolved we find out later is just part of this intricate plan by literally evil incarnated. So it matters so much.

I feel like almost 90% of the shows that you've reviewed so far want to be "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" in some way. The high school dramas, the shows centered around teenagers, and the Arrow superhero shows all follow the Buffy format. However, none of them manage to really be as good. The only one that manages to even get close (for me, anyway) is Season One of The Flash. Case in point, there's a reason why this show has college courses and academia dedicated to its writing.

MiKey MoonShine, actually by not watching Angel you're missing out on A LOT. Some Buffy characters that left in season 4 get major character developments and story arcs on Angel (Cordelia, for instance). Also, many amazing characters (some are my favourites not only from the Buffyverse, but from anything i ever watched) get introduced. The big bad is way more serious than the Buffy ones, the storylines are funnier and darker than the Buffy ones. Also, theres this whole peaceful karaoke bar for demons. And more character deaths. Even though Angel isn't my favourite character at all, i still consider his show much stronger and better then Buffy. Its more mature, more fun, more tragic and more interesting. But just like in Buffy, you have to survive through season 1 to get to the good stuff.

Not like most shows nowadays do: "oh we're not gonna kill any main characters because we're too scared to traumatise someone, but if we do kill someone we'll definitely bring them back next season!"

Buffy was an awesome show, although it became the thing it was parodying towards its final seasons and took itself way to seriously by the end. Plus Whedon has some questionable choices when it comes to the portrayal of women. I think nearly every female in this show was bi coz guys in general find that hot, and not because he was being edgy and being a male feminist.

The childish way to represent the supernatural world was poorly written. Not even TVD was that.

@@jonanpeppers6448 Without BtVS, you wouldn't have had LOST, you wouldn't have had The Walking Dead. Hell, you likely wouldn't have had New Who. Filler episodes were a necessity for shows back in the day, as seasons were generally longer. Additionally, filler episodes allowed for character examinations, as well as light-hearted breaks between the heavy episodes. Of course there were mistakes. That's part of life. It happens. It helped, IMO, because it reminded us that the characters and the world in which they live wasn't perfect. The supernatural element of the show was all metaphors for growing up, and the troubles along the way. And finally, none of the shows you mentioned have college courses dedicated to them. Buffy does.

A lot of popular teen shows from the 90s/early 2000s started out cookie-cutter for the first season, but then came into their own mid-second season. I think that's what happened to Buffy, Smallville, etc.

@@MiaRosenbloom Similar thing with webcomics taking a while to really find their legs. Most of the awesome webcomics I enjoy regularly started off with the most amateurish art and storytelling and it took them a couple years before they got good enough to recommend. Any time you happen across a webcomic whose beginning looks shaky, compare the first page with the current/latest page. And if it looks good and you really can't sit through the opening bad, then skip forward a year or two, start reading, and see if you get hooked enough to go back and see the origins.

Buffy was never “cheesy,” it was metaphorical. It explored the world of a young woman going through her teenage years, who had an immense amount of responsibility on her hands. From the very beginning the primary protagonist, Buffy, always had to consider whether she’d take her slayer responsibilities over her social ones. However, as the series progressed, she soon began to realize that there were more things that were crucial in life. You see, in nearly every episode the gang would meet a new antagonist, who served as a sort of archetype (something beyond what seems to be their purpose) and typically it would deal with the social issues that permeate a teenager’s life. And that my friend is why Buffy had tremendous success.

season 1 WAS cheesey.... it was derived from old movies.... season 7 was rubbish. The in between was good but to be honest much as I loved the show the social commentary was also stupid since nust about everyone behaved in atrocious ways with little to no suffering for their poor choices. Williw kills people, angel turns creepy serial killer, faith goes gangsta, giles did some questionable things, spike murdered a ton of people and there were no consequences to speak of for any of them. I loved the show but its messages were at best mixed and since Joss turned out to be a sex creeper aswell I have to look back with mixed feelings on what it was actually about

Pool White What do you mean there were no consequences? All of the consequences were personal, not social. Angel and Spike pay for their sins plenty when they have souls, faith eventually realizes that "going gangsta" made her miserable and alone, Giles is atoning by helping Buffy, and Willow had to deal with the burden of losing people she loved because of her actions (namely the addiction to magic).

Funny, the two best teen shows to me of all time: Buffy and Smallville. Both of them were cheesy as hell, but was all about those character moments, development, etc. I guess it goes to show that cheese isn't necessarily all that bad if you have the things more important with it. Now days, people think seriousness all the time works better, cutting out all the cheese - and now without the more important things, it just gets boring and dumb, compared to cheesy dumb. Which I think is a very interesting distinction.

Buffy was the best show ever, honesty still one of my favorites. She always displayed integrity, courage and loyalty. More shows need to focus on strong women, instead of reality/designer/bachelorette bullsh-t. As a fictional character Buffy is a positive role model. Which is more than I can say for most television shows.
@benjamin6194
@benjamin6194 3 жыл бұрын
I agree. But I think what made Buffy a positive role model is something you didn't touch on. Buffy learned and grew over time. She made mistakes, admitted her mistakes and changed in order to become a better adult. Almost no female characters actually do that in today's movies or shows. Even the "strong female characters" just arrive perfect, on day one they can do absolutely everything, without any hint they might fail. I guess studios think these impossibly perfect women are symbols of female empowerment or something, but honestly what kind of a role model is that? No one wants to be told they're expected to get everything right all at once, they want some one flawed who they can relate to, who eventually overcomes those flaws. That's what was wrong with Rey and live action Mulan etc...
