 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here So I've been thinking about this for a long time because there hasn't been an update on this topic in Almost a year little over a year perhaps Where exactly is this Buffy reboot? the reboot that got announced last year at San Diego Comic Con, I believe it was Just around this time and nothing has come out about this show ever since so we do know that Monica Breen is The show is going to be the show runner and Joss Whedon is returning to participate in this show as well Then we had some a bit of a Uprising or an outrage from fans who grew up with the original saying they didn't want the characters brought back and Told in a different way this that and the other Then Monica Breen came out saying that Reassuring them that it went tamper with what was already established, but that it would be time to meet a new slayer So kind of teasing that this could be a continuation of the universe that we already have established that ended in 2003 with the series finale chosen Details about the series are Basically nothing we know that those two are involved Monica Breen Joss Whedon several of the original cast members have expressed interest in potentially showing up such as James Marsers who played spike in the original series the The original plan I believe they said was to have a black actress pick up the role as the slayer so When everyone started seeing headlines black Buffy Everyone kind of assumed that that meant that they were going to be retelling the story of Buffy But now Buffy is going to be black then Monica Breen came out and said it's not going to be the case at all Now it doesn't mean that this is going to be a continuation from what happened in the original show That could mean that this is going to be in a world where Buffy never existed and we have someone else Maybe her name her name probably won't even be Buffy But since it's a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot it that's how they're going to get their Attention on the show by calling it a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot because it's gonna be falling the same premise I assume as the original show This could also mean that perhaps this is a character named Buffy who is black but in a different universe Let's say that Buffy does exist But this isn't one of those parallel universes in one of those dimensions that we've heard talked about in the original show this black Buffy or black slayer African-American slayer This could be a slayer that was activated as a result of what happened at the end of the series finale Those of you who are familiar with the show You know what happened in the series finale and how that led to like the activation of all the potential slayers around the world All of Buffy's powers face powers. They got passed down and shared Everyone who could have the power would have the power this that and the other yada yada I Don't know what is going on with this show. I haven't heard anything about it. I don't know if anyone else has heard anything about it Buffy aka Sarah Michelle Geller, however She did come out really this year reassuring us that she would not be participating in the show now Things could always change of course once the show goes up gets up and running and down the road If they want to get her in for like a small cameo or whatever. That's always something that could occur Me personally, I just hope that this is a continuation from chosen I hope it's in a world where Buffy did exist Buffy had Buffy still does exist Maybe she has died or something and of course we still have the active slayers that are still remaining Maybe Eliza douche coup could appear as faith. Maybe Willow Rosenberg get Allison Hannigan Maybe some people from the original show could show up in this reboot just for small cameos I do want to say that I hope the show when it does come because it there's nothing been Out saying that he got cancer or anything But this wouldn't be the first time we've heard news about a Buffy project coming and then it just went went silent There's talks about it Buffy movie a few years ago, and then I think nothing ever came with that Lot of people don't even want to see this TV show continuation whether there's a reboot or not They're not up for it. They wanted to be left alone The cast and the crew from Buffy and it's spinoff series Angel. They've all had recent reunions Angel being the most recent they had a reunion to celebrate this 15th anniversary of the serious finale I believe that was I'm really just hoping that this show is gonna have a slayer Picking up that was activated at the end of chosen. We follow her story It kind of relies on its own characters builds its own Identity and doesn't rely on the nostalgia of the show that came before it make references to that show Of course and follow the same methods that they followed that proved to be successful And kind of give it an updated version, but don't be a frame-for-frame copy of Buffy the vampire slayer. This is gonna be a continuation. This is a new slayer I want to see what her life is like as opposed to buffing. I want to see her in a different situation Different setting different this different that different friends different everything don't I but we don't have to worry about any of that Cuz Monica bring already assured us that we wouldn't have a new Buffy and new Xander new Willow We're not gonna have any of that. We're gonna have apparently what it sounded like with all new characters cuz That doesn't mean that the girl won't be Buffy, but it won't be the Buffy that we all knew it won't be Sarah Michelle Gellar's Buffy And then the fact that she mentioned that the Xander Anya Willow Tara all of those good characters that everyone loves They will not be touched that lets you know that they're not gonna have those characters or any characters Love those names in this upcoming reboot continuation. Whatever it's gonna be I don't know what they're gonna do I just hope that it's a continuation from chosen and that it follows a new African-American slayer And we just follow her story and we see how she handles this and then we can build on the mythos Establishing the original series all those years ago make references to it and kind of just use that as a crutch not as a crutch to Rely on to get views but use it as like a support system to make your own identity over here But still paying homage to the original show that came before it here or there and just making reference to it Let me know what you guys think about the Buffy reboot down in the conversation below if you're fans of the series What do you guys think about that show?
